This is a multiplayer civ quest. Fantasy setting, tech level about antiquity but maybe with some modern things like powder weaponry, greater medicine, etc.

You start with 100 working people (or other beings if you pick a different race). This number increases by 1.1 each turn, but you can modify this later. One turn is one year in-game. During a turn you may allocate resources and workers to projects. There's no action limit, but spreading your workforce thin will make projects longer to complete. These projects may be constructing something, prospecting for resources, diplomacy with other players, etc. Successful projects will provide a benefit to some part of your state, e.g. temples may appease gods who'll give you blessings; orichalcum weaponry will give you the edge in battle; higher quality wood will allow you to construct bigger, more complex ships. Turns will last about 2 days. I'll make events sometimes to shake things up.

This should be about it. Feel free to ask questions if something's not clear.

To participate:
1. Name your civilization
2. Pick a race
3. Pick a colour
4. Draw your location on the map (the blank one)
5. (Optional) Make a trip.
6. (Optional) The goal of your civilization & fluff. The more you provide, the more I can work with in constructing the plot.
7. Write your opening actions.

They worship the idea of good and seek to embody its many forms. Its people see the world with a clear divide between good and evil and are quick to fight and plot against those they deem irredeemable but are forgiving to those they consider misguided.

6. All male pale androgynous race from the tundras, their ancestor is Lord Cupid who was emperor of the south and had 6969 concubines and 100000 children, he was cursed to only have male children after the goddess of fertility watched him abuse his first born daughter, she raptured all his daughters to the heavens and also cursed his sons to only have sons, and that any wife they take will die after 4 years. Lord Cupid took all his thousands of sons to go destroy the goddesses most famous temple in the north, but her avatar stopped his army in its tracks, damned him to 4 million years of wandering as a lustful ghost with no genitals and exiled his living sons to the tundra of loneliness in the south. His sons only survive by kidnapping women from villages across the mountains, but the curse strikes them down out of mercy after 4 years. The sons of Cupid goal is to lift the curse and survive.
7. The High phallus priests have made prophecies that Cupid would be granted one lifetime as an avatar among his sons in between his millions of years of punishment after his daughter who still loves him pleaded with the fertility goddess. This year he is supposed to be born, look for the signs in the newborns.

Okay i wrote this very fast to save my spot and color so i didn’t name all the mythology characters now I will to make it sound more real

Ancestor- Emperegnator Cupid to his sons he is the only one who can ever have this title he is worshipped and his sons transfer the pleasure they get with their wives to him in great degenerate rituals to ease his celibate punishment

Enemies across the mountains call him the Great Abuser, The Shamless Seducer, The Deceitful Rake and other more offensive names

Goddess - Isos

The sons call her The Hag Queen and other insults, they see her in their wives and treat them horribly only the most pathetic pick me wives are honorary members of the nation and not slaves

Daughter - Dior she has a mixed reputation some see her as a traitorous whore others a victim of the Isos who wants to reunite with her father who is sorry. It depends on the sect

Leader - Testicus the Boundless he’s a hero who has kidnapped brides from every continent

1. The Metrog
2. Idrudari
3. Brown

5. see above
6. The Metrog began as a gathering of tribes, each led by tribal chieftains, each different but unified in a single belief: their kind was made by their god because they were lonely, and desired companionship. Unfortunately. The Metrog proved to be primitive beings, fit for survival and little else.
Their god loved them, but saw them as children, not companions, and the Metrog’s goal ever since has been to elevate themselves up to their maker’s level, so that they might accomplish the goal of their existence.
Unfortunately, just HOW they should ascend has been the subject of debate for centuries, wars even started over it, until finally a caste of priests and priestesses have decided that the species needs to stay together to have better chances of fulfill the maker’s design and that any plan to achieve ascendence they could make themselves would be just a construction made by their primitive minds, and as such destined to fail or prove wrong in the end.


Their god is one (though they have not thought of the existence of other gods, they do not exclude the possibility. They just only care about this one because it’s their maker): Akret. Akret is nothing and everything, it is perfect. It is beyond flesh, beyond tooth and claw and spike, it is the purest form of sentience and wishes for all its children to join it one day, once the spark of intelligence it has given them finally results in their ascendance to its level, that it may know loneliness no longer.
The god itself never ordered the Metrog to zerg rush perfection like they attempt to do, only that they do it eventually. It’s perfectly content to just observe them until they get it right.

> Culture:
Until very recently the Metrog were tribal hunter-gatherers, led by chieftains who ruled over a warrior caste whose duty was to protect their gatherers from the other tribes and hunt down large animals. They know toolmaking, their tentacles and forelimbs proving surprisingly dexterous, and they favor spears and daggers over axes. They have a distaste for armor and clothing, simply spending the winters in caves covered in furs rather than covering themselves.

Priests are the most important members of their society. To become a priest means to have glimpsed Akret in some form, to have seen its magnificence in some form. Those who have achieved this aren’t hard to find, given that such a contact leaves one forever changed: they move with an indecipherable purpose, speak with an almost ethereal cadence, and tend to lose tone in their kind’s naturally muscular limbs
>>
>>5095609
> species: the Idrudari are mammals which reproduce by laying unfertilized eggs which are then fertilized by another individual. The species HAS a gender division, but it’s very slight (males are slightly longer and thinner, females are slightly more stout) and if a group has too many males or too many females it’s members will start producing pheromones, which will cause some individuals to shift to the other gender (same way Clownfsh do really).

They have no concept of family (as in, they will only care about their friends and partners, but not about their offspring), but do have a concept of relationships (again, like friendships and partners). Offspring is raised by the community as a whole


Starting actions:
> build a temple to Akret
> start planting fruit trees and berry bushes around settlements for continuous access to food

>Name:
Daíonan Tribes
>Race:
Half Demons (Traits include things like gigantism, red eyes and black sclera, horns, claws, tails, red, purple, blue or pitch black skin, bat like wings, ect)
>Color:

>Location:
(Check the map, it's marked)
>Trip:
From the northern peninsula to here.
>Fluff
The Daíonan tribes are the result of a large nomadic group of humans who worshiped something they probably shouldn't have. This tribe, being successful in their rituals and managing to summon the demons they worshiped, were very swift to willingly follow their 'gods' orders, and were 'blessed' with children that were greater than they were. Over time, the demons that were summoned were banished due to outsiders interference or otherwise forced to return to the underworld, but the half demons that now ruled over the lands still lived and were still there. They value sins and see them as useful and as a force to drive people to work for what they desire with the exception of sloth, the only sin they seem to hate. This ironically makes them value diligence quite a bit. Another thing of value seen by the people of the Daíonan tribes is the prominence of demonic traits, and generally, those with few visible ones are often shunned to an extent. Other than this, there are still some relics from when the demons they brought into the world walked with them, the most noteworthy being a pitch black blade twice the size of an average human called Mávithanátoslepdas which has strange red engravings in it, and it's handle made with ornate rose gold. Despite this, anyone who tries picking it up feels the handle burn so extensively that it is impossible for them to keep a hold of, though it has been said in the past that such a blade feels cold to the touch of the last person capable of using it, which was the demon that used to own it...
>Goals
To simultaneously ensure that the demonic blood in their vains continues to remain strong while also not becoming completely sub servant to those who their ancestors worshiped. Also to not get murdered by religious folk.

>Opening actions

50 Halfdemons scavenge for various useful things in the area, mainly food and similar.
30 Search for various materials and attempt to gather them
20 attempt to create basic tools and the like.

Nw'semmes
Elves and Trolls
Golden Yellow

In barely living memory, a noble but defeated household of blackforest elves crossed the Gyuline waters in search of new homelands on the continent. Their ships drifted north, far north, until they came upon a small harbor landing which by chance also played home a great village of shore-trolls. The former consist of your typical raven-haired, forest-eyed stock, whereas the latter are wily sleet-haired brutes whose height can vary from four to twelve feet (though all come with a dextrous tail). The elven marchioness was desperate to restore her house's prestige, so instead of trying to take the settlement in arms, she instead entered the orbit of Semmes, one of the troll king's younger sons. The couple was wedded before midwinter, and had usurped the old king and his crown prince not long after. Since then there have been several troll kings ruling over several coastal settlements, and I have recently inherited control over the interior forests from my grandmother. We have good reason, I think, to be proud of the little dual-monarchy we've built here.

In terms of "goals," I would propose that we need synergy internally and prestige internationally. I harbor no delusions about retaking the home islands, at least not yet... Anyway, I allocate my workers thus:

>1) 75 shall begin construction of a woodland citadel. It is a type of fortification that has no walls but the forest itself, remaining hidden and nebulous.

>2) 10 shall build a warrior's hut. It does not need to be large, but it must include everything needed for training.

>3) 10 of our trolls can begin setting up an iron mine for later use.

>4) Finally, the 5 hardiest shall venture out into the forests of our realm. I know not what these seekers will find, but hopefully it will be useful.

They do not as yet hold a specific deity, believing that there are many spirits and beings of power in the world but hold no record that any have ever shown them favour or explained themselves.

6. chased from their original homeland through forests and over mountains for their boisterous & drunken ways. Their pursuers finally stopped when they had been chased into the desert but this was not the end of their plight for a cruel trickster god seeing them tired & weary sent vision of a grand oasis that was but a mirage. The Satyrs took the bait splendidly rushing to the mirage with the last of their strength but after running for days without rest and beaten down by the hot desert sun they were delirious and treated the mirage as if it were real throwing a raucous party celebrating their luck and cursing those who chased them long into the night. The trickster god was baffled at first but soon found themselves laughing harder than they had is centuries and so rewarded the satyrs by turning the mirage into a true oasis while the slept.

The Kugel find themselves in a swamp, your native biome, yet without home to retreat to. While the land may be little suited for construction, you nevertheless craft simple, yet effective tools, and begin your work of setting up a proper settlement. A few months of treefelling and construction later, you've got yourself a neat little village on stilts, and a surplus of wood to boot.
[Your people feel safe under the protection of houses. Until you reach 200 population, the growth multiplier is 1.15 instead of 1.1]
[You may undertake a major project using the wood you've stockpiled]

However, not all is good. While you have constructed a shrine, the gods are silent. This does not sit well with your deeply religious folk. Perhaps decorating the shrine, or, better yet, a sacrifice is in order.
You have 110 frogmen now.

>>5095505
Cynocephales find themselves on a partly forested plain, with highlands and mountains at the fringe of your territory. Sending your scouts around to see if there are any animals that can be domesticated, you find a herd of wild sheep dwelling in the highlands. Over the course of the year, a portion of your population works on capturing them, and soon enough they are under your control.
[You have domesticated some sheep. This provides an additional source of food and a supply of wool, which can be used in a textile workshop.]

Most of your population, however, is occupied by building housing. By the end of the year, a proper village is formed.
[Your people feel safe under the protection of houses. Until you reach 200 population, the growth multiplier is 1.15 instead of 1.1]
You have 110 cynocephales now.

>>5095514
[Due to the pecularities of your race, your growth multiplier starts at 1.15 and decreases by 0.05 every year you don't make a raid to capture women, until it reaches 0.95]
In the cold reaches of tundra, you await His coming. Lord Cupid, incarnate in one of the children of your race. You look for signs, which don't appear for months. However, eventually, when most have given up hope, a child is born, not pale like all of your kind, but charcoal black, without any light glittering off his skin. The only white thing about him, his eyes, radiant, shining. What powers he possesses is yet to be discovered. Perhaps it is time for more grounded tasks, while the avatar matures?
You have 115 incubi now.
>>
>>5095610
Your land is heavily forested, with rare caves where you spend winters nestled between the pine and spruce trees. Little fruit grows here, however, this is easily fixable; you mount an expedition south, which arrives back with apples and plums. It will take a couple of years for them to begin yielding a considerable harvest. In the mean time, you plant several types of berry bushes. They provide a supply of black-, rasp-, and other berries in summer and autumn.
[Your people feel safer with a surplus of food. Until you reach 200 population, the growth multiplier is 1.15 instead of 1.1]

With food secured, you begin another project, building the temple to Akret. With your crude tools, there is not much you can do, but you make best use of them, and the result is a spacious building with several spires pointing towards the sky. The inner sanctum becomes regularly used by the priests to communicate with Akret.
[You may now commence rituals (describe them?) to receive blessings or guidance from your god.]

That aside, the scouts who brought back fruit also mention that they've encountered a magical beast -- unicorn -- deeper inland. Perhaps it would be beneficial to align it?
You have 110 idrudari now.

>>5095698
Your land is sparsely forested plains. Half of your population crafts simple tools and starts digging out warrens; with these ready, you are not only protected from the vagaries of nature, but also find yourself in a rather defensible position should you be attacked.
[Your people feel safe under the protection of warrens. Until you reach 200 population, the growth multiplier is 1.15 instead of 1.1]

The other half of your population gathers all the food they can. While this did provide a single boost, perhaps cultivation of food would lend better stability?
[Your people were well-fed this year. The growth multiplier for this year is 1.2 instead of 1.1]
You now have 120 lagomorphs.

>>5095756
The storm has chased you down into the humid, hot jungle. Still little acquainted with this climate, you decide clearing out some warrens to live in would be a good start. By the end of the year, it is done.
[Your people feel safe under the protection of warrens. Until you reach 200 population, the growth multiplier is 1.15 instead of 1.1]

Most of the male population starts felling trees of great height. Maul Shaper gets to work, and by the end of the year, you can arm most males with clubs and mauls. Simple, but deadly in the hands of a troll.
[You have armed your people with clubs & mauls. This will provide a bonus in combat -- anything is better than fighting with your fists.]
You now have 110 trolls.
>>
>>5095781
With mountains not far away, you start mining stone using what crude tools you can procure. Hauling it back to your settlement would be quite hard, but yetis are robust and strong. By the end of the year, you've got quite a lot extracted.
[You have a stockpile of stone ready to be used for a major project]

With stone obtained, you use a portion of it to construct a temple to Grek & the other gods. One of the more spiritual yetis steps forth and becomes a priest tending to this holy place.
[You may now commence rituals (describe them?) to receive blessings or guidance from your god.]
You now have 110 yetis.

>>5095813
You strip the nearby trees of fruit and berry bushes of berries. While this does provide a quick boost to food, it'd be better to secure a constant supply.
[Your pop growth multiplier for this turn is 1.2 instead of 1.1]

The halfdemons searching for useful materials come upon an interesting discovery on the shores. Amber can be collected here, an interesting commodity which could be fashioned into expensive decorations for trade.
[You have found amber. It can be used for trade in raw form, or made into jewelry and the like.]

The toolmakers gather stone and sturdy branches, and shape them into tools. While they may not be of the best quality, they're still better than crude, makeshift ones.
[You have obtained tools. Tasks now require less workers commited to them for the same efficiency.]
You have 120 halfdemons now.

>>5095819
The Queen needs to be fed if she is to remain alive and healthy. The ants gather food from the surrounding territories: fruit, berries, and small game, and bring it to Her Majesty. With a surplus of food, she lays more eggs than usual.
[Your pop growth multiplier for this turn is 1.2 instead of 1.1]

The remaining ants dig out a hole, leading into a spacious chamber where both the Queen and the workers can rest.
[In this safe environment, the Queen can lay more eggs. Until you reach 200 population, the growth multiplier is 1.15 instead of 1.1]
You have 120 ants now.

Checked trips.
I have a bit of trouble picturing what this citadel is. Is it like, a bunch of traps and trees cut in such a way as to allow ambushing?

With new lands inherited, you decide to properly defend them. A great portion of your population, both trolls and elves, commit to turning the forest into a single deadly battleground.
[You have constructed a woodland citadel. You will receive a bonus against any attackers.]

The citadel is not the only thing you construct, however. A warrior's hut is built, housing both training weaponry and providing a space for soldiers to spar, honing their skills.
[You have constructed a warrior's hut. You may now train your population, increasing their prowess in battle.]

The trolls you sent into the mountains prospect for metals over the course of the year. They found a vein, indeed, but there was not enough time to build an mining outpost itself. If you were to allocate 10 trolls to constructing the mine next year, you'll have a steady supply of iron for your state.
[You have discovered an iron vein. Iron may be used to craft both weaponry and tools.]

The explorers return with news of a village. Apparent from some observation, most of it's inhabitants are human mages, with an Elder Witch at the head. They seem to have spotted the exploring party, but didn't attack, so they don't seem hostile at least.

Besides these, a kind of dungeon was found, a dark entrance to the depths of the earth, its half-erased decorations depicting all kinds of snakes. The explorers didn't dare descend there, the place had an eerie aura about it.
You now have 110 elves & trolls.

>>5096050
The Quanli find themselves on a tropical island. Securing a source of food is the primary task to which most of your people are allocated. They find it in giant crabs which are your neighbours on the shore. Some limbs broken by the crabs' claws later, you have a herd of crustaceans semi-tolerating your presence.
[You have domesticated a herd of giant crabs. Their meat provides you with a stable source of food, and their shells can be crafted into heavy, but hardy armour.]

Scouting your island, you determine that the big mountain in the centre is actually a (probably sleeping) volcano. Land is greatly fertilized by ash, and there is obsidian to be found here. Tropical nature is quite dangerous due to all types of venomous snakes and predatory felines, but bountiful in fruit. The exploration party has not checked the other side of the island, though. It'll take another exploration project to do it.
[You have discovered obsidian. This brittle material may be used both for tools and cultural applications.]

The sparring with head swords makes your warriors a bit tougher to beat in battle.
[Your warriors are now experienced and will have a bonus in battle.]
You now have 110 fishmen.
>>
>>5096340
Finding yourselves in the middle of the desert, with nothing but meagre supplies of food, you decide to plant grapes that you've brought with yourselves. Soon, a vineyard is formed, however, it won't bear grapes until some years pass. Perhaps building a wine press in advance would be a good idea.
[You have planted grapes. It'll take about two more turns for them to mature and be ready for harvest.]
You now have 110 satyrs.
>>
Some commentary about the first turn, I've warned you anons about spreading the workforce too thin, but consider that turns take a year, that's a lot of time when even 10 people can build much. Besides that, remember that green areas on the map aren't just forests, they also include plains.

Also, from now on, I'll implement a system of rolls, you may prospect for a certain resource in your territory, but you roll 1d100 to see if any is found.

Finally, I'd ask you to name the geographical objects that you discover. Seas, mountain ranges, plains, rivers, etc. I'll gradually add the names to the map.

>consider that turns take a year, that's a lot of time when even 10 people can build much
yeah I was rushing a bit to save my spot on the map & probably should have done more but I like to imagine the satyrs just partied for the first half of the year then one of them noticed that they were running low on wine so they all said well shit better plant some grapes

turn two actions- make the oasis more homey & party ready by building a wine press, gathering reeds from the oasis to make pan flutes and hanging up hammocks.

>Build a grand sacrificial altar behind the temple. In the middle of the altar their will be a great pillar of wood where the sacrifices will be tied. The sacrifices will be lit on fire and if the gods are pleased with the sacrifice, the pillar will be unscathed from the fire at the end. Leaving only a burnt corpse.

The silent child emerges from his mothers womb, his skin resembles obsidian and seems to suck away the very little light that reaches this part of the ice caves. His white eyes have no pupils, yet Testicus, the only incubi not a priest allowed to witness the miracle, can feel the avatar’s stare burning into his being. The newborn starts to grunt and wail, it’s voice disturbingly deep and mature already. High Phallo-Priest Ejaculanius bends down and places his ear inches away from the Lord’s tiny mouth.

Testicus is shocked, it can already speak? The uneasiness in his cold heart only increases, he spent his whole life waiting for this day and now only feels a vague sense of impending horrors to come.

Ejaculanius stands back up and looks over at the now ever so slightly trembling leader of Eros.

“He says to prepare the Spermark.”

Testicus nods. The Spermark is a traditional Eros ship building technique, although it only happens every few decades for the most important raids. It entails the best swimmers with the highest lung capacities swimming into the mouth of a massive sperm whale with nothing but spears and killing it from the inside, allowing it to beach and providing a huge vessel that can be quickly hollowed out for the transportation of many dozens of incubi. The flesh on the inside once dug out is repacked and frozen in the caves, providing enough provisions for the longest voyages. The practice is very risky however, sometimes the whale is able to fight back, or the hunters fail to dig towards the lungs in time before suffocating.

After Testicus leaves, set on his task, one of the younger priests reaches towards the Lord’s umbilical cord for the cut, as is normal, but before he can he is stricken with a sudden coughing fit that turns into a seizure. Before long, the poor unholy man is laying in a pool of his own blood pouring from his eyes and ears.

“None of you will touch it. I already lost my daughters, I won’t lose my mother.”

The poor woman doomed by fate to give birth to this monster weeps, for it’s all she can do.

TURN:

12 Phallo-Priests will have the horrifying task of taking care of the avatar, feeding and attending to his every need.

12 Incubi who are the best swimmers will try to kill and beach a sperm whale, when they succeed there will be a workforce of 24 will be ready to convert the poor creature into a ship the “Spermark”

Another 24 will hunt seals and walrus for food, tusks, and bone.

12 will spear-fish with very thin icicles from the cave and forage the nearby coral reefs. Not primarily concerned with food but capturing known poisonous flora and fauna used to enhance traditional Eros weapons. This task is almost as dangerous as whale infiltrating, some will probably die.

The rest of the 55 incubi (if i can math) will go on a pre-season raid, this involves not crossing the mountains and terrorizing tundra villages instead. Capture slaves of both genders, pick easy target villages

>Action 1
With Thesalon in its humble begginings, its people launch an expedition to find if they are alone on this continent they call Voskot(Pasture). 20 scouts are chosen to venture north and then east, along the river some of them claiming to exist. Should they find civilized beings out there they shall act accordingly and establish good relations with them, be it via trade, proselytizing, or just good will.
>action 2 & 3
With the scouts gone, the rest of the population is quick to improve the situation back home. 45 of them shall start farming the land around Thesalon, while the rest will try to improve the harvesting of wool from their wooly flocks.

Sorry i think I assumed too much about my surroundings for this turn my bad

I don’t think there would be a reef near a tundra so change it to looking for one and if there is none just hunt for poisonous fish in general and also go up north-east towards the greener areas if necessary

I also assumed there would be small villages in the tundra so like above just look for any humans or weak races indigenous to the area and attack if they’re not strong and stealthily kidnap people who stray away if they’re not

And i’m going to roll to try and take down a whale since frog guy is too

Mantó had been plagued by visions for all her life. Visions of terrible things being done to good people, of the world being destroyed. She could do little to stop them, or help those she saw suffer. Not by herself, at least. When she was old enough to leave her village, she began a journey across the continent to gather those similarly gifted and like-minded. None of them with her own gift of prophecy, but people able to command winds, move stones, control the waves, make fire dance, and do other wondrous things. Shunned by the superstitious, exploited by the power hungry, they followed her, some of them eagerly, some reluctantly. Years later, when enough had been gathered, she lead them to an exodus across the Kárlan sea to found the nation of Zésh on an island she had seen long ago.
>Goals
Discover the source of these visions, if there is a source to be discovered. Unlock the secrets of magic and develop the potential of the Zésh people. Become strong enough to protect the innocents of the world from those who would prey on them and prevent the apocalyptic future that looms.

10 Quanli will spend all their working hours keeping and maintain the herds of giant Crabs; though others will of course add to the numbers if events or circumstances would require them (I assume ongoing maintenance would require less people then a new project? If 10 is too few to allow the herds to prosper and grow, siphon Quanli from the next and last projects).

The land we find ourselves in is fertile and bountiful in fruit.
50 Quanli will devote themselves to turning natural forests by the shore into groves of fruiting trees, working around those fruiting trees already in place and spreading their seedlings into cleared areas around them.

30 Quanli will devote their time to building dwellings from the wood gained from turning forest into fruit-grove, a village of fairly basic huts of wood and earth.

And the final 20 Quanli will craft and and assemble armour of crab-shell.

We will name the mountain a name that in the Quanli language means 'Obsidian Beak'

Fluff:
Safety, it was the word on every bunnies' lips and heard in their ear, The Great Warren was the finest work of their species, never before had Lagomorphkind known true safety. while Omnivorous by nature there small size and preference for speed and steal has left them less than amazing hunters. More often than not they are the prey. but no more United under Chieftain Peter Cottontail and Chieftess Judy Cottontail (formerly Judy Hopps) the species is not united. Before unification, they represented the largest and most organized tribes of the forested planes. it was only natural the minor tribes would fold into them once unification was made known, at first there had been paltry grumbling at the new order.

This decent however was quashed with the success of pairs bonded leadership and successful plans. 20 new souls had been welcome into the world, not a one lost to predators or ailment all happy and healthy. United and Safe, for the first time in Lagomorph history they were able to begin to dream of more, so much more.

>Action 1: search for edible plants then gather them planting seeds in clearings near and around The Warren to secure a stable food supply. Which will fulfill an inherent cultural need of abundance and prosperity, soon the bunnies of the warrens may need to expand the tunnels to account for the chubby bunnies to come. (population 40)

>Action 2: using the natural resources on hand develop basic tools to improve worker efficiency while we rabbit folk are great a digging out warrens, chopping trees, and attacking prey not so much. While shelter, food, and sensual pleasures are all things greatly enjoyed by rabbitkind, without the means to maintain or protect it, these things are worthless. It is better to be peaceful than harmless (Population 40)

>Action 3: expand the warrens with Breeding dens. The saying breeding like rabbits exists for a reason, and the lagomorphs of Lagolandia are no different. The breeding dens will ensure that every bunny has his or her day. While also ensuring constant population growth and fulfilling the core cultural tenant of be fruitful and multiply. (Population 40)

Yes. In fact, it is assumed that maintenance is done by the hidden part of the population (all those that are not workers) and by workers collectively on occasion that their help is needed. But if you dedicate a portion of your people to this, over time you'll gain results such as increased quantities of more docile crabs, the meat of which will boost your pop growth.

With the berries and fruit that the land around them had, the Daíonan tribes had a far better understanding of the new home they had, for the time being, settled in. And with the new tools available a number would go out to hunt rather than to simply gather. Other than this, the discovery of Amber didn't result in much other than a handful collecting the nice looking material, at least for the time being. A good deal of work however would come from a gluttonous sort who sought to find a better way to fill their stomach, and observed the plants for a sizable time. And upon growing an understanding of how they worked, he aimed to grow them himself. In this, he convinced a number of others to join him in his efforts and communicate what seemed to work well. And in time this would result in a basic understanding of agriculture that would prove vital to the tribes survival and potentially prove an end to their nomadic way of life, especially when combined with the work of a prideful woman who sought to make a far grander home than the hide tents most had others had. It was arguably the first proper step to civilization the group had. And if all went well for the half demons things might just go even further in that direction and lead them to a bright future...Time would tell how these various projects went however.

The Ants begin to separate into specialties.

The Plant Cutters, who hew down the trees for their notorious green, who plant and gather berries, fruits, and tame and domesticate the small animals.

And the Drivers, who strategically hunt and consume the largest monsters many times the size of the ants. Gigantic spiders, beetles, jungle mumaks, but only targetting the old and the large, allowing the smaller ones to flee and regrow their numbers, bringing forth meat, bone and fur back to the hive.

>40 Plant Cutters forage for food

I will say now that you start with a good corpus of knowledge, so researching simple things such as agriculture isn't really necessary. I'll count that project as your people organizing farmlands around the village. But, well, if you want to roleplay these gradual advancement it's all good, I enjoy reading these.

>>
>>5098275
Hey QM, I have a question: How are the unwritten rules of a society developed? Say a civilization puts more value in favours and reputation than money or its citizens comunicate more by implying things over saying them outright.
How can things like those be made?
>>
>>5098287
>So explain how warfare, diplomacy, cultures and langauges play into our world.
lmao idk I'm winging it mostly.
Serious answer: warfare is decided by dice rolls which are modified depending on your weaponry, numbers, what type of troops you're fielding, terrain, fortification, etc. Later in the game, for wars between players and against major npcs you'll be able to draft proper armies which will move on the map.
idk what to explain about diplomacy, you find players/npcs, send diplomats to them and negotiate what deal you want to strike between you.
Languages will mostly be behind the scenes, in your vicinity you'll be able to speak in common tongues, while when negotiating with distant realms it'll take a turn to educate translators or something along these lines.
Culture is an interesting subject, it'll mostly depend on players, like if you're more interested in watching the numbers grow and your civ conquering stuff and don't want to bother with it, you'll mostly ignore it except when I introduce some customs of peoples you conquer, but if you want to, you may write more lore and I'll try to respond to it.
>>5098294
See about culture above. It depends on how you introduce it, I'll be writing the update this evening to be posted tomorrow, and this is a bit of a spoiler, but I'll have you encounter a village with highly warrior-like honourable culture, and if you make contact with them you can write something like "due to proximity my people slowly learn from the warriors" and you'll develop a culture that values honour more like that.
>>
>>5098324
I see. I asked you that because I was unsure how to introduce things that would happen over a large period of years, so thank you for answering.
Also I'll expand the lore a bit so both of us have something to work with other than "they're a civilization of moralfags." Do know that I will add or change things as time goes on.
1-Thesalonians belive that all good gods are reflections of the Ideal Good they worship. I plan on making said Good into a person once we hit the Axial Age so expect a couple of heresies.
2-They also recognize 2 major archetypes: the Hero and the Sage. They seek to embody them and associate times of great activity with the Hero and more quiet times with the Sage.
3-they value trust a lot. The more society trusts you to do good and not waste its resources, the more oportunities you will have. I plan to develop this into something of a "social capital" everybody has. Think of the social score but without government oversight.

>1st action: 60 Idrudari shall begin building burrows
Finally, food has been found! The Idrudari have always been an industrious lot, and now that they don’t have to bother with hunting for the time being, they can focus on their priests’ design: a stable people, a United people. And nothing unites quite like a physical gathering place, a village: homes are a symbol, and the priests of Akret pride themselves of their ability to study them

You cut down some of the common palms and build a simple wine press. The vineyards aren't yielding enough to make proper wine yet, but you use some of the grapes to make a more well-rounded diet. However, you still mostly subsist on dates & bananas growing around the oasis.

With hammocks hung up and flutes made, you've somewhat livened up your free time. Combined with a stable source of food, debauchery reigns & parties are held often, lifting the popular mood.
[Due to quality of life rising, your pop growth modifier is now 1.15 instead of 1.1. However, with little fertile soil, food may become an issue if your population keeps growing...]
You have 121 satyrs.

>>5097467
Using the wood you've stockpiled, you build the altar for ritual sacrifices. Its foundation is carved with intricate patterns, dyes made from some of the more common flowers are painted across it, making a grand monument dedicated to the gods.

You also contribute a portion of your population to preparing weaponry. While stone-headed spears aren't much, with no other materials in the vicinity, they'll have to do.
[You have armed most of your working population with weapons. This will give a bonus in combat.]

>75 + 10
Using the weapons you've crafted, you send out scouts to see if there are any suitable candidates for sacrifice on the island. They report that a toxic beast -- basilisk -- dwells deeper in the woods of the island. A large group of hunters are sent out; 6 of them die in a fierce battle from both tooth and poison, but the rest bring back the creature's corpse. Placing it on the altar, the priests light the basilisk, and to everyone's joy, the pillar does not burn indeed -- a sure sign of benevolence from the gods!
[You have received a blessing from your gods. For 4 turns starting from the next one, your pop growth modifier is increased by 0.1 (for a total of 1.25) and your warriors' weapons are imbued with holy strength. You may also attempt to communicate with the gods through rituals.]

The scouts who sighted the beast in the first place also report that in the southern end of the island, there is a tribe of amazons -- humanlike women of unparalleled strength. You do not know if they're hostile or friendly yet.
You have 121 frogmen.

You fucked up in math, if we count that 12 incubi who beach the whale also step in as arkbuilders, it's still 43 remaining. whatever I guess, it's still an okay number for a raid.

The Phallo-Priests wrap the newborn in the highest quality furs for warmth, regularly wash him, using precious fuel grass to heat water, and bring food on command. The black child develops slowly, it will be a while before his full power manifests.

>63
The hunt succeeds, but at a cost -- 6 incubi, half of the diving squad, are dead, swallowed by the cold and unforgiving ocean. No time to mourn, however: the avatar's words are absolute. Builders get to work soon, and over the next year, they finish constructing the Spermark, a great ship for a great purpose.

>75
The fishers venture out over the course of the year and slowly build up a stockpile of poisonous liquids in your settlement. 3 die in incidents, but most make it out alive.
[You have obtained a stockpile of poison. It may be applied to weaponry a few times to give you the edge in battle.]

The 24 sent to hunt seals and walruses regularly return with prey, feeding the other incubi and the avatar.
[With greater access to food comes greater prosperity. For this turn, your pop growth modifier was 1.2 instead of 1.1]
[You have obtained walrus tusks. These can be crafted into decorations or hardy weaponry.]

>77
Most of your population makes an out of season raid against the rare human villages daring to live in tundra. In fights, 7 incubi die, but you obtain 20 working human slaves and replenish your pool of women for childbearing.
You have 122 incubi and 20 human slaves.

>>5097479
The scouts you sent along the river return with news of a warrior village. Making contact, your explorers have determined that they value honour and strength most of all. They did not seem outright hostile, but rather unfriendly and condescending. It seems you must prove your worth in duels for them to consider Thesalon their equals.

Further upriver, where plains end and highlands and mountains begin, your scouts found a settlement of orcs. They are usually barbaric and dangerous, but these seem somewhat civilized, at least not attacking your party on sight. The scouts found out that the lands from this point and some length to the east are ruled by an orc chieftain who reined in his peoples' aggression. They are now working the land, while those upriver mine the mountains for copper. They call themselves the Gurun'dar.

Back home, you start tilling the land and planting some cereals regularly.
[With great access to food, your pop growth until you reach 300 population is increased by 0.05 for a total of 1.2]

You also start to breed the most wooly sheep for better yields of wool. It's a long project that'll take about a decade of dedicated effort to come to fruition, but shouldn't require too much regularly contributed workforce.
[1/10 wool yield increase]
You have 127 cynocephales.
>>
>>5097508
Halfelves find themselves in the coniferous forests. Determining housing to be the top priority right now, your people craft some makeshift tools and start felling trees to build a village. By the end of the year, it is done.
[Your people feel safe under the protection of houses. Your pop growth until 200 population is 1.15 instead of 1.1]

To resist the potential danger of invasion, your workers construct a stockade around your village and a relatively low tower for view over the surrounding area.
[You have prepared defences. This will provide a bonus in combat should you be attacked.]
You have 110 halfelves.

>>5097515
The prophecy brought you and the other exiles here. However, you cannot dedicate all your efforts towards the divination and prevention of disasters; more grounded matters come first. Disassembling the boats, you set up houses to live in.
[Your people feel safe under the protection of houses. Your pop growth modifier until 200 population is 1.15 instead of 1.1]

A portion of your population start occupying itself with food acquisition: fishing, setting up farms which yield the first harvest in the autumn of this year, and fruit trees, which are yet to grow strong.
[Your pop growth modifier until 200 population is increased by 0.05 for a total of 1.2]

With basic needs secured, you send a party to explore the island. You have seen this place in your visions, and so must have been brought here for a reason. Over the year, the scouts search the entirety of the island. Most of it is similar to the landscape you find yourselves in: forested hills with the occasional minor river. However, two things caught their attention. The first, a huge stone disk set into the earth in the middle of the island with mysterious symbols etched into it and 9 circular indentations near its edges. The second, a village of fishmen on the other side of the isle. You do not know whether they're hostile or not yet.
You have 110 humans and elves.

>>5097520
With 10 crab shepherds dedicating most of their time towards crab taming, the crustaceans are bred to be more docile and with bigger and harder shells. It'll take years before results are seen in plain view though.
[1/7 crab enhancement]

The fruit cultivators collect seeds from common fruit trees and clear out ground to plant them. Soon enough, saplings appear. In 2-3 years, you'll have a stable source of food ready.

A squad of builders uses the trees cut down by agricultural workers to build housing for your growing population.
[Your people feel safe under the protection of houses. Your pop growth modifier until 200 population is 1.15 instead of 1.1]

It takes some broken shells to refine the procedure, but by the end of the year, your workers have some batches of crabshell armour ready.
[You have armed a portion of your population with armour. This will provide a bonus in combat.]
>>
>>5097561
You find some wild varieties of cereals and clear out ground to plant them. By the end of the year, you reap your first harvest.
[With a stable source of food, your pop growth modifier is 0.05 higher until you reach 200 population, for a total of 1.2]

You haven't discovered metals yet, but stones do their job as tool head just fine. Sickles for reaping, shovels for digging, axes for chopping -- all of these are gradually made by the workers you assigned to the task.
[With your workers equipped with tools, it takes less workforce for the same efficiency in completing the projects.]

The construction of breeding dens, underground areas specifically dedicated to sex and childcare, makes the population growth spike.
[Due to construction of dedicated breeding areas, your pop growth modifier raises by 0.05, for a total of 1.25.]

Disturbing news come from the east -- some of the farmers working the fields have been attacked by a pack of dire wolves. It seems they have stumbled upon your lands and deemed you easy prey! You have lost 5 lagomorphs to them.
You have 133 lagomorphs.

>>5097579
Using the stone you've gathered, your people make simple tools. They're not the best, but they're better than makeshift ones.

Yetis prospecting for ore in the mountains return with great news -- they have found iron and a vein of sulfur, a dangerous pyrotechnical substance. Your workers have set up an iron mine and begun extracting the metal. It should be said that you've scouted only the northern mountains; whatever treasure Flantomas has hidden is yet to be discovered deeper inland.

The reindeer are commonplace in tundra; by capturing a herd you've secured a stable source of food.
[With stable food, your pop growth rate modifier is increased by 0.05, for a total of 1.15 until you reach 200 population.]

The yetis you've sent to hunt have decided to fish instead, since the most useful form of wildlife, the reindeer, have been already tamed. Over the year, the fishers' contribution has helped the tribe grow.

Your scouting party has encountered batmen resting in the middle of the jungle. As the trolls approached, the winged devils attacked your scouts.

The assembled Kugel people watch the great altar alight with bated breathes. They are not used to silence from the gods and it unsettles them deeply. As the the basilisk burns a great green smoke wafts through the air, swirling around the congregation, and then suddenly the smoke rushes into the hunter who slayed the basilisk nose and mouth. The hunter coughs and retches in shock before realizing that he’s fine, he can’t even feel a burning in his lungs. Instead he feels better than ever, imbued with a strange strength and vigor. The hunter leaps over the burning altar in a great feat of strength and the fire devours the basilisk body leaving only the altar, looking as pristine as the day it was built.

The hunter becomes known as The-One-Who-Leaps and anointed as a favored one by the gods, and allowed to roll in the ash from the sacrificial fire for good fortune.

The Kugel people let out a great croak celebrating this wonderful moment. Freed from their depression the Kugel copulate more vigorously and the warriors stone spears strike unnaturally strong.

Taking the blessing of the warriors to be a message from the gods, the Kugel prepare to subjugate the Amazonians in their name. Taking slaves and sacrifices.

>Almost the entire tribe of Kugel set themselves to war in the gods honor. 100 do periodic raids of the amazonians and try to provoke a glorious pitched battle.

Year 0 (Age of Rebirth)

[Roleplay of events of the Akastros Empire]

Scribe: Alfur Ozan

After the calamity struck the our empire like the phoenix reborn from its ashes we begun to carve anew our progenitors magnum opus, many a times have the scribes of old written about how we were bested on the battlefield and humiliated but the prophecy still continues. We shall recreate the phoenix's prophecy and rebuild the central empire that dominated this continent from an unknown past, we shall see if this rebirth of our empire would finally achieve this dream.
The brave sons of Ruslan ibn Akaos have started the resettlement process, the new pasha hopes to carve his name in sands of history by creating a realm fit for our future Sultan to reign but this has many issues. First we do not have our technological advantage from the previous dynasty and moreover most scrolls were lost in the battle of Isra, next uncertainty comes from the fact that we lost our eastern provinces which have fallen other rival pashas and barbarians so a raid or an incursion from the east would be a deadly problem but our wise pasha prevented this by building moats and wooden ramparts. Crude defences but it would hold off raiders for the moment, the next issue is that we're prone to sea attack and I must speak with the pasha about this eventually. At the moment I have no doubt in our pasha and expect great things from him.

one will be blessed eternally who says that God is the ultimate

Ejaculanius, the High Phallo-Priest claims he can sense a gathering of demonic energy in the north, but he knows nothing about them and cannot contact them. 6 of the senior Phallo-Priests including Ejaculianius will sacrifice the most beautiful human slaves to power a ritual attempting to make some sort of magical contact with the distant presence, whether that be with astral projection or dream entry or something along those lines. If direct communication can’t happen atleast try to gather as much information as possible. First roll

6 of the junior Phallo-Priests will continue to tend to the avatar and his mother. Attempt to find out what his future powers could be using traditional methods of Eros divination. Second roll

15 humans will be forced to build the Spermark, and they’ll be prodded with long icicles to work tirelessly, by 5 incubi overseers. Fed minimally, don’t worry about slave deaths in order to get the best result on the ship.

10 of the strongest incubi will train as bodyguards for the avatar. Since we have no training equipment they’ll physically train their strength and stamina with tundra marathons, a few of the weakest might die which is no big deal.

20 incubi will continue to hunt walrus for meat and ivory.

20 incubi will go on a mountain expedition (see picrel) but avoid raiding until returning with information.
Document any interesting resources, races, creatures, locations etc.

20 more incubi will do the exact same thing as above but towards the green areas. No raiding until next year, find out who and what lives along the river.

20 Incubi and 4 human slave guides will travel east and do the same as the first two expeditions. Look for particularly strong races that might be living in the tundra who could make future mercenaries

15 Incubi will use ivory to craft better weapons than icicles. Swords and long spears preferred

I’m using a lot of men on those expeditions so I hope i can cover a lot of ground QM since i see other expeditions use only a few i think

Recap by project

6 Phallo-Priests caretakers/diviners (roll for divination)
6 Phallo-Priests 1 human magic diplomacy mission (with a roll)
15 humans slaves Spermark plus 5 slave driver Incubi
10 Incubi physical training
20 Incubi walrus hunting
15 Incubi ivory crafting weapons
20 Incubi mountains scouting
20 Incubi forest/river scouting

While watching the reindeer herd eat, a yeti has an idea and begins to gather up shrub. Meanwhile one of the craftsmen has an idea that he believes would require wood however due to the lack of trees in the tundra he instead gets the rest of the tribe to help with a different project. Seeing how important flora was this year the priest decides to make a sacrifice. A small adult reindeer is brought into the temple where it is killed. This act of violence within the temple ensures the Gods are aware that a sacrifice is occurring if they weren't already aware. Lastly due to this sacrifice being a gift one of the hind legs is removed. The symbol for Philintrix the Goddess of vegetation is drawn in blood on the leg while the rest of the body is taken to be thrown in the wilderness where the Goddess or her servants can collect it if she wants it. The priest explains why the sacrifice was made in a prayer before leaving the temple. After two days pass or a sign is seen the priest returns to take the leg out of the temple and throw it into the wilderness.

As expected, the island of Zésh has proven hospitable, a suitable new home. The presence of another race was a surprise and only time will tell whether that surprise proves a boon or misfortune. Necromancy was suggested for the more menial tasks, but we will not stoop that low. Elementals and Golems will serve our needs. They are just as tireless as the Undead, if perhaps harder to produce. We also need to learn more about the strange Disk, our neighbours, and perhaps the island itself. Leftover workers and perhaps the new Golems and Elementals will begin construction of a Tower that could only be considered a Wonder of the World.

>Experiment with summoning Small Elementals and constructing Clay Golems to supplement our workforce.

Our “blackforest” lineage does not typically build dwellings into the trees themselves; too few of the pines grow large enough to manage it. However, the woodland citadel is an exception to this rule. Its building does not dress the outsides of the trees, but rather hides military installations within their wide canopies. Not every tree is a deathtrap for the enemy, but they also have no way of telling which ones are. Great swathes of forest land can be defended in this way, making up for small numbers. The standard citadel can also be improved with the addition of magical wards and ground traps; it can even be made more dense. Anyway, my workers will be allocated as such:

>10 trolls shall begin iron production.

>10 workers shall begin construction on a house of knowledge. For now this is, once again, merely a hut-sized building, but it is where we store things like books, machines, and relics. Children with magical aptitude will also be trained here.

>35 workers shall construct a smithy. This must necessarily be made of stone and stocked with appropriate tools. Furthermore, it must be built to a troll's proportions, since we are a kingdom of partners.

>10 workers shall cut down a few rare, high-quality logs, then dress and store them for later use

>45 workers shall erect a basic palisade around the landward side of the main troll village.

>In return for this, I shall send an envoy to my co-monarch, requesting that he send a few experienced warriors to take up residence in our warrior's hut and help train our young people.

>As many children of the community as can be fit inside the hut shall begin their warrior's training. Neither instructors nor students need belong to a particular race, nor shall the races train separately.

If you are still taking entries I would like to play

1. Softpaw
2. Catfolk
3. Black

6. Water worshipping explorers, the bounties of sea and land are seen as gifts and favor of the gods. Peaceloving but vengeful, the catfolk prefer to live as a quiet river but can be riled into a horrible tsunami

7. Assuming 100 catfolk -

30 assigned to chopping wood/gathering foliage/gathering large river rocks
40 assigned to gathering/hunting food/fishing especially
30 assigned to building rudimentary shelters/altar/shrine

The catfolk hold flowing water as holy; especially so where it meets the ocean. This site is most holy.

Major Goals -
* Shelters
* Food -> Fishing Industry?
* Simple Altar made of a single large river rock -> Shrine made of larger river rocks


Once shelter is established, the next major goals will include a stable food supply ( ideally fishing industry but whatever the waters/lands provide will be accepted ) and creation of a Shrine to the waters; built along the banks where the river and ocean meet.

Simple offerings will be left at the simple hastily constructed altar for this year / until the shrine is finished. ( Assuming good harvests, the single biggest perfect catch is left after a simple ceremony. If food is scarce, a small catch or nonfish such as a bowl of berries are also acceptable. Fishies are seen as the highest of offerings but the waters must provide. )

The Shrine is relatively simple and small; as larger rocks are found/harvested the altar is expanded until there is a ring of 8 or so rocks buried in the ground with the largest most prominent rock as the altar above ground facing over the water.

>Fluff starting region is named Fukrus

>Action 1 use 20 rabbits: The tragedy at the eastern farms has hit home for the bunnies of Lagolandia. Predation was not something new to them, but it had been so long since it had happened that the horrors of it hit as if it were the first time. Scared does, bucks, and bundled kits filled the tunnels and commonplaces of the Great Warren. Calling out for comfort and safety from their Goddess Verameeka Mother of Rabbit folk and Goddess of Fertility. Being her children created in her image they prayed and lamented for her to save them. At the behest of his people and urging of his more spiritual mate Chieftain Cottontail ordered an expansion of the Warren to create a space for worship, prayer, and ‘exultation’~ to Verameeka. The space itself will have a shrine with an effigy of the Fertility goddess engraved on it, in a room with space for the shaman of the Goddess to preach her message, a private group ‘exultation’ den for adult followers only. After all, Verameeka is a Goddess of fertility and desires her followers to be fruitful and numerous, such displays of carnal pleasure please her to no end.

tl:dr use 20 workers to build a church/orgy den (worship burrow) to please the rabbit fertility goddess to earn her favor and protection, also make the chieftess the shaman if you don’t mind, or think of a fun bunny name to run with for the shaman.

>Action 2 use 30 rabbits: While many of his fellow bunnies were filled with fear and trepidation at the appearance of the dire wolf threat, Chieftain Cottontail would not allow himself to be. While his mate Chieftess Cottentail oversaw the expansion of the Great warren for verameeka worship burrow, he would task his brightest hunters, gathers, and trackers to devise traps and pitfalls that to aid in killing off the dire wolf menace. Using the tools and resources provided by the grace of the Goddess He would see to the destruction of these monstrous beasts and make their homeland safe once more.

tl:dr use 30 workers to build traps and pitfalls to deter the dire wolves and hopefully kill some.

>Action 3 use 20 rabbits: During Tribe council, which is a time set aside where both the chieftain and chiefess sit and hear the issues of the tribe, mated worker and hunter bring them a proposal. They suggest that more should and can be done to prepare against the dire wolf threat. The goddess’s protection will be good, and traps and pitfalls will surely make the dire wolves warry but will happen if one or a pack should breach the great warren, how would the tribe defend itself? It was with this in mind that the mates had their idea, the axes, Sickles, and shovels they can be improved upon and made into weapons of war. The Axe can be changed so that the blade has a rounded head better for hacking off limbs rather than chop wood, the sickles can be straightened into daggers to slash and stab, and for the shovels, if you lengthen the shaft and put a pointed head on it you can stab at beasts from a distance safely out of biting range. The Pair have prepared carvings of the design in tree bark. Only needing the chief and chiefess to sign off in the project and sign off they do.

tl:dr use 20 workers to develop weapons from the simple tools the tribe already knows how to make.

>Action 4 use 50 rabbits: with every reasonable means of defense and offense being prepared all that remains is to rally every Buck and Doe willing to stand in defense of the great warren, of their families, of their homeland, for their Goddess! Once the traps and weapons are ready, they will go on the hunt driving the dire wolves into traps, hunting them down and killing them, locating their den and slaughtering them as they rest, and take their pups for our own to domesticate them and turn our predators into our tools! The bunnies of the great warren will train, with the weapons the workers are building and when they are ready, they will win.

tl:dr use 50 warriors armed with the weapons we are developing and aided by the traps and pitfalls we are making will go out and wipe out all the adult dire wolves, we will then take the pups and domesticate them.

>Action 5 use 13 rabbits: with so much happening in the Great Warren at once and a war to prepare for, the two heads of the tribe are simply overwhelmed. So to help lighten the load and ensure everything is done with due excellence they tapped the senior-most builders and hunters they task them with developing tactics that use the new weapons, traps, and pitfalls so that when they march against the dire wolf menace they will stand victorious with not a soul lost. being given such a position is a great honor and a sign of respect. reserved for the truly worthy among the tribe.

tl:dr use 13 elders to develop warfare tactics to effectively use our weapons, traps, and pitfalls to win.

With further plant based food secured through this new 'agriculture' thing that has become all the rage among those with the blood of demons of voracity in them, a lot more demons are able to diversify their efforts. Of course, most of the various hunters continued their work, and those now working in the tending of plants have tried finding further methods to maximize output and increase the variety of plant based food available. Still, with most emulating the work of the prideful woman who created the first proper house for themselves, a number of Halfdemons worked upon the expansion of work on both stone and wood in order to either one up their neighbors or simply gain a more comfortable home. Furnishing them with greater and more nice looking furniture was also something that was worked on as a sort of branch off, though others further worked on creating more extensive and elaborate structures. This was a simple start, but certainly a fairly quick one with regards to the speed at which structures more advanced than extremely basic twig shacks and tents were being created. Though, admittedly, there was some influence in the stories of the great constructs of the underworld, so it evens out. The last important thing of note is while all this was underway, a number of Halfdemons searched for something of use that could potentially be made into tools similar to the artifacts left over from when their ancestors were merely servants that usually caused issues for those who tried to use them due to the magics tied to them that were meant to protect them from being used by anyone who wasn't the proper demonic owner. Though, a few of these demons of the more greedy sort simply used this as an excuse to gather the amber that was discovered a while ago.

>while having occasion race riots

It's funny that you think our people could get themselves organized enough to have a race riot. Do you also believe that my entire realm only has 110 working age adults? You see, neither sea trolls nor wood elves are particularly well known for collective civilization-building. The former are a lot like humans in their self-serving natures, but gifted also with cunning, resilience, and occassionally, strange magic. Not to mention their breeding rate makes elves seem more like rabbit-folk. They love their "individualism" to such an extent that the various village kings will often have to literally adopt housecarls into their families to secure loyalty.

And then there's us. Did you know that most of the elves here don't even have a dwelling? I mean, it's not like we need them; we're not halflings. But it means that when my servant goes out and says, "Your Marquess offers his coin and blessing to anyone willing to build the damn blacksmithy," only twenty people show up. I've heard tales of half-orcish slavers in the southern deserts who will track runaways for three hundred leagues or more. Well, those guys have nothing on me. I'm not going to tax you into poverty so I can dress in gold like some petty human duke, but if we're to survive out here, you're going to have to stop fucking around like it's the home islands.

All that said, I think things are going well so far. My biggest mid-term worry is dealing with the spirits of these lands. My nobles and I are responsible for such matters, you see. Our people may strive to live in harmony with other life, but there is literally a village of humans a few miles from here. Anyway, blog over.

(Did you read my fluff? Their ancestors were willing. They were literally demon worshipers. We are half bloods. You are at best thin bloods and at worst imposters. Also we aren't so ugly women die from being forced to endure living with the shame of being touched by your people. Our men and women who are touched by the 2nd circle don't need to steal anything as it's not theft if it's given willingly.)

>>5100943

(This is based, and probably very accurate. Loving the banter between us RN though.)
>>
>>5100968
Half bloods are an abomination and real demons in hell probably think youre a laughing stock

and either way demons were pretty much created to serve as slaves for the lords of hell and evil humans, you are actually just mongrel descendent of a slave race. Watch us summon your ancestors and make them our bitch

I thought we could be friends because we are both descended from evil beings but i might have to put you in your place first
>>
>>5100974

(They probably see us as slaves or servants DESU. As for you, your people are probably not viewed as much better. Lastly, to call demons slaves to the lords of hell is to say that every king lords over slaves. And Demons most certainly aren't slaves to evil humans, more often or not they fuck over evil humans and take their souls. Regardless I find it funny our OOC bants have struck so deep.)

KUGEL-GLOBO
[The prayers of those remaining home have been answered by the gods. You receive an additional +5 bonus in battle against the amazons.]
>87 + 10 (religious) + 5 (religious 2) + 5 (simple weapons) = 107 vs. 69 = 34 + 10 (stronger) + 15 (training) + 10 (weaponry)
Raiding the amazons, picking off little groups, you eventually induce their anger, and your enemies come out of the village walls en masse to punish you. You give battle in the middle of the woods. It is a fierce fight, and many lives are lost, but eventually you emerge victorious.
[You have defeated the amazons. 25 frogmen lay dead, but you've obtained 40 amazonian slaves.]
You have 126 frogmen and 40 amazonian slaves.
>>
>>5099130
AKASTROS
[You have trained a militia. Should you go to war and conscript your workmen, they will receive a +5 bonus in battle.]
[You have started ship construction. By the end of the year, two galley smallships are put to water. They require a 30-man crew to operate.]
Your people have occupied themselves by researching enhancements to agriculture. They've got some ideas how to increase the fertility of fields, but it'll take time for them to come up with something interesting. [1/3 agriculture research]
Others have proposed to reinstate the imperial currency of old, however, you have no access to noble metals. However, a number of merchant ships pass through the strait -- your people try to call their attention, and soon enough, one of the vessels approaches your shores. While you have no special commodities to trade, you've put your name out there, and others will periodically come to trade with you. [You have gained access to local trade network. Perhaps prospecting for some goods would open up trade opportunities?]
You have 127 halfelves.
>>
>>5099131
EROS
>31 + 10 (sacrifice) = 41
The visions are dim. You can confirm there are some of your -- or similar -- kind on the other side of the continent, but you fail to establish any sort of communication.
>100
The Phallo-priests' visions are flooded with information. In the future, the avatar's searing gaze will burn right through flesh, his touch will suck lifeforce out of his enemies, women will fall in love upon hearing his voice, and he will attain high mastery of magic, should he want to practice it. However, he will not be invulnerable; while he might be perform feats of magic, his body will be quite weak and easily harmable. A 'glass cannon' would be a good way to describe him. Besides that, his powers won't work on those under the blessing of Isos.
[The Spermark is further enhanced by the slaves, it becomes a truly fearsome ship. However, 8 slaves die due to unbearable amounts of labour.]
[10 future bodyguards are trained, 2 die under the harsh program, but are replaced by fresh incubi. They will receive a bonus in combat, however, they must practice fighting with actual weapons to become true warriors.]
[Due to walrus hunting, this turn your growth rate modifier was 1.25 instead of 1.15.]
[You have armed your workers with bone weapons. This will provide a bonus in combat.]
Your scouting parties return. They are united in one fact: humans all around hate you. It is probably connected with years of raiding and treating slave women horribly, but they're not sure.
On to other news, the tundra expedition has determined there is a distant yeti tribe who are quite solitary and hold no grudge against Eros. They could be convinced to become mercenaries, but what could you offer them? The expedition has also found a curious construction, a temple of ice (is it even ice?), fiercely protected by the tundra tribes. Perhaps it is some kind of holy place for them?
The mountain expedition has not gone too deep into the mountains, but they found out there are dwarven holds in them. The dwarves aren't exactly friendly to you either because of their contacts with humans, but they won't kill you on sight at least. One hold is left abandoned; the only dwarves the expedition contacted have been rumbling something about monsters lurking there.
The river expedition was the first to return, they report that the humans who you've raided for so long have set up a fort to prevent your raids. It's not a big one, but with a tribe of your size it'll take considerable effort to take it.
You have 151 incubi and 11 human slaves.

GREKLATINI
[The herd keeps the yetis well-fed. You've also accumulated a stockpile of leather from the butchered animals. These could be crafted into armour (but that requires tanning, for which tree bark is used) or traded.]
[You have made some slings. Using the leftover stone from previous projects, you assemble a cache of ammunition for them. This will provide a bonus in combat.]
[It takes several sacrifices to attract Philinrix' blessing. A patch of land around the temple de-freezes and blooms. You could plant trees here!]
The scouts and the southern expedition for lumber return. They report that a group of humans make their living south of your encampment. They seem neutral for now, their main occupation is whaling, they sell blubber to southern peoples in exchange for goods. After communicating with them some more, the scouts determine that there is a legend of a kind of vault in the middle of the Flantic Wyns. Perhaps that's where Flantomas, the God of Mountains, has hidden a part of his treasure.
[You have a stockpile of lumber for a major project, and several saplings to be planted around the temple.]
You have 151 yetis.
>>
>>5099266
ZÉSH
[You have constructed 20 golems. They can perform simple tasks such as maintenance of the fields.]
>95
The Stone Disk reveals to you that it is a kind of key to the prevention of the coming calamity. It must be completed with 9 Circles of Power scattered around the world. Perhaps that's why the prophecy lead you here.
Contact with the fishmen has gone disastrously. They are very territorial, shouting menacingly at your envoy and even throwing some spears! Luckily, no fatalities came from the contact. Still, if you want the island under your control, you'll have to deal with them eventually. They numbers are approximately similar to your own.
The scouting party searches through the island once more, in spite of fishmen patrols now monitoring their territory. They find a cave in the southern part of the island. There, cyclops, mighty beings of old, lay in chains, dreaming. They wake up to the sound of your scouts' footsteps, and plead to be let free. However, they must have been placed here for a reason, one that is not known to you.
Some of your population keeps working the fields and tending to the fruit trees. They grow steadily.
The scouts and scorned diplomats get to work on the Tower of the Arcane. It'll be a long time to construct it, but once completed, it will be an unparalleled magical beacon and place of learning. [1/2 Stage I Tower: Foundation]
You have 132 humans and elves.

>>5099347
STONE COLD MAWS
[You have gathered enough stones for a major building project.]
[You have constructed Crafters' Den. Tools & goods manufactured here are of higher quality. You may also specialise workers, e.g. stone masons or woodworkers, out of regular workers.]
[Using offcuts of stone you've gathered, you equip the trolls with bolas. This will provide a bonus in combat.]
With a bit of experience, you find snake meat insufficient to feed the tribe, not to mention that they eat prey that could potentially end up in a troll's stomach. However, keeping them is not without benefit -- their shedded skin could be used for armour. Also, some trolls have something in mind and ask to assign them to experiment with the snakes for a few years.
[You lost the +0.05 pop growth modifier]
[You have obtained snake skin.]
[Contribute 15 trolls for 5 years for an unknown advancement.]
You have 146 trolls.

NW'SEMMES
[You have started mining iron.]
[Your workers have constructed the house of knowledge. Assign some to train here, and you'll get mages or scholars.]
[Hauling stone from the mountains, you construct a smithy. With the iron you're mining, you can craft good tools, weaponry, armour, and other things.]
[You now have a stockpile of lumber for a major building project.]
The troll monarch responds favourably to your proposal. By the end of the year, a palisade is built, and experienced warriors arrive in your lands.
[Training yields better results.]
[It'll take about 4 years for youths to mature, but they'll receive a major bonus in combat from their training.]
You have 133 trolls and elves.

>>5099492
QUANLI
[2/7 towards crab enhancement.]
[The garden workers inform that the fruit trees will grow enough for harvest in a year.]
[You have obtained a fishing fleet. The boats are small, but good enough for fishing. They'll provide +0.05 growth rate modifier starting next turn, and require 10 fishmen in maintenance.]
[Digging into the mountain, you stockpile stone, which can be used for a major building project.]
[You have equipped your workers with obsidian weapons. This will provide a bonus in combat.]
One stormy night, a ship crashes on your shores. It seems to be manned by some kind of lizardmen. You do not know whether they're hostile yet.
You have 140 fishmen.

>>5099592
KOPOKIAN
[You have constructed housing. This will provide +0.05 pop growth rate until you reach 200 population.]
The scouts report a kind of magical spring flowing from one of the caves. Its waters rejuvenate after hours of work. In the north, they found a herd of bisons, these could be tamed for access to milk, meat and durable leather.
You have 110 varanas.

>>5099786
SOFTPAW
[After collecting big rocks and placing them in a circle, the shrine is ready. It may now be used to communicate with the gods and ask for their blessing.]
[You establish a fishing industry. Starting next turn, you'll get +0.05 pop growth rate modifier, but it'll require 10 catfolk for maintenance.]
[You have constructed shelter. Until you reach 200 population, you get +0.05 pop growth rate]
Leaving the offerings at the altar, you feel a reassuring presence. The gods smile upon you. However, a bigger sacrifice is required if you hope to receive their blessing.
You have 110 catfolk.
>>
>>5099826
LAGOLANDIA
[The shrine to Verameeka boosts your pop growth rate a further +0.05. That's good but... it's starting to get out of hand a bit.]
[You have constructed traps, but 7 of your people have been picked off in the forests. Their sacrifice shall not be forgotten. This will give a bonus to combat against the dire wolves.]
[You have converted your tools into weaponry. You lose the benefit of efficiency for a bonus in battle.]
>83 + 10 (traps) + 5 (simple weaponry) + 10 (numbers) = 108 vs. 36 = 16 + 20 (much stronger)
The battle with the wolves develops ideally. They fall into traps, and get pierced by your warriors' spears. There are casualties, but they are few, 10 in total. After searching through the forest, you find dire wolf pups, and take them with you to domesticate.
[It will take 2-3 turns for dire wolves to grow. They must be trained by at least 10 lagomorphs.]
[With some experience in battle, you understanding of tactics is boosted. Still, it'll take years to come up with formations, hierarchy, etc.] [2/6 tactics research]
You have 155 lagomorphs.

>>5099927
DAÍONA TRIBES
[Due to hunting, this turn your pop growth modifier was 0.1 higher.]
[The research into agriculture progresses nicely. Your demons are experimenting with fertilizers and their effects on plant productivity. They say they should have results in about a year.] [2/3 agriculture research.]
[The research into masonry and carpentry finishes. With basic tools invented for the purpose, you can now make simple machines and turn stone into useful blocks. Decoration is also a possibility.]
[Architectural knowledge has reached a basic level. You now know how to construct moderately large, if fairly simple, buildings out of wood and stone.]
>83
[Some distance deeper inland, your scouts find a hill with a small vein of copper. It's not much, but it'll do, for now.]
[With little workforce gathering amber, it'll take a bit more to build up a considerable stockpile, or a dedicated maintenance team to supply the potential amberworking industry.] [Amber stockpile 1/2]
Some of the demons scouting for copper have reported sighting humans who have escaped after being sighted. This could be bad if they warn their home villages of your presence...
You have 187 halfdemons.
>>
>>5100116
TRUE OASIS
[You have started expanding the fertile land around the oasis. It'll take some years before it becomes fertile.] [1/7 land improvement.]
The scouts return. They report that there's mainly sand everywhere, but to the south, near the shore, there is a moderately forested savanna. They've spotted elephants there. Also, this year bedouin caravans have started appearing. They bring with them spice, textiles and other goods. They're also willing to sell you some camels. [You have gained access to local trade network.]
Your vineyard workers report that grapes are ready to be made into wine.
You have 140 satyrs.

>>5100184
THESALON
The envoys return. They report orcs being enthusiastic about wool due to harsh alpine winters where they live.
[You have opened trade with the Gurun'dar. You now have copper, and about half of the wool you produce is being exported to orcs.]
The warriors keep hogs, and brew beer. They already trade for cereals with some eastern peoples you're yet to meet. They offer you beer in exchange for wool, but their exchange rate is outrageous. It seems they look upon you condescendingly as upon peace-loving folks.
[The selective breeding program continues. 2/10 wool yield increase]
The workers discover marble! It is a precious building & trade material. The mine will require 20 dedicated miners to extract considerable amounts.
Using the marble you've discovered, the builders begin the construction of Alithetalati. It is a major project, but with the workforce you dedicated, it should be done in 2 years (one of which has passed). Your people are enthusiastic about its construction, for by studying they can embody the ideal of the Sage in themselves. [1/2 Alithetalati construction.]
You have 152 cynocephales.

>>5100210
SARMATIA
[Gathering various plants from around the area, you start the establishment of witch gardens. It'll take about 3 years for the plants to mature.] [1/3 witch gardens.]
>70
You divination gives moderate results. The forgotten gods seem to be imprisoned somewhere far away. There are guards, some kind of mighty creatures that need to be defeated to access their prison. What should be done after that is not yet known to you.
You have 110 amazonians.
>>
After giving it some thought, I've decided to have turns alternate between 2-3 days due to the amount I have to write. We'll see which length prevails in the end, though I expect 3 days to be the main one.
Another announcement I want to make is the standardization of maintenance for food & animal herds. To keep the +0.05 growth rate bonus from agriculture, you need to dedicate 10 population per 100 total. e.g. you have 150 population, to maintain the bonus until 200 you need 20 workers tilling the land. For animal herds to provide the bonus to population growth, you also need 10 dedicated per 100 population, but if you also herd them for resources e.g. leather or wool, and/or enhance them, you need 15 workers per 100.

The Kugel-Globo gather the amazonians in front of their swamp village. Poking and prodding them with spears to keep them docile they pick out suitable specimens the gods would be pleased with. 4 of the strongest amazonians and the amazonian recognized as the leader are chosen as sacrifices.

The 4 strong amazons are tied at the base of the pillar while the leader is tied at the top. The fire is started at the base of the pillar and it is said that the screams and coughs of the sacrifice at the top will be the determining factor as to whether the gods will commune.

The rest of the slaves except 1 are sent to do hard labor expanding the village on stilts.

1 particularly pliant slave is allowed extra privileges in exchange for drilling the Kugel warriors and hunters in Amazon tactics. They clearly were well-trained, if it were not for the failure of their heathen gods they might have won.

The Kugel people spend most of their time looting the Amazon village for valuables and preparing the groundwork for a great monument. Though a small group is sent to explore the last unconquered part of the island

>5 Amazons sacrificed to commune with one of the gods asking for a mission to honor them. (you make one up if you want to QM unless you want me to. I like the idea of having a random god I don’t decide answer.)

>1 Amazon teaches their tactics to the Kugel-Globo

>45 Kugel loot the Amazon village looking mainly for luxury’s such as gold or silver or fine crafts and also leftover weapons

>15 explore the rest of island for any other peoples or things to build with other than wood

>66 Kugel lay a solid foundation of dirt and wood, stronger than stilts, over some of the swamp to prepare for a grand monument depending on which god answers their call.

Now that our situation has been stabilized, we must expand! Grow further, and perhaps see what happened to that visage from a few years back?

> the other half shall pray for prosperity
The time has come: sacrifices are organized, as the priests starve themselves and hold themselves apart from the rest of the herd, attempting to ascend to the great divine’s supreme realm.

The ritual is more of a time of penance at the end of which (hopefully) contact with the divine should be established

I have a few questions QM.

>[The shrine to Verameeka boosts your pop growth rate a further +0.05. That's good but... it's starting to get out of hand a bit.]

Is this meant to be an in-game warning about the population growing faster than food resources or a meta-message that I need to cool it with the Population buffing actions? If I have been leaning too hard into "rabbit pop growth go brrrrr" sorry, I just thought for the species it made sense. But if I need to lay off it for a bit I will, alternating pop buff action every other turn.

>[You have constructed traps, but 7 of your people have been picked off in the forests. Their sacrifice shall not be forgotten. This will give a bonus to combat against the dire wolves.]

do these remain and can I put them down as national development, counting it as border defense.

>[You have converted your tools into weaponry. You lose the benefit of efficiency for a bonus in battle.]

so I now have weapons to arm 50 rabbits, but used up all my existing tools. so to regain my efficiency bonus I need to build more tools.

that's about it, other than that I want to say how much I have enjoyed the quest so far, and hope to see it continue, thank you for running, and I hope you are having fun as well.

It has been a good year.

The Shrine was finished with no major setbacks or holdups and now sits prominently on the shoreline. The Gods have not spoken directly to us ( yet! ) but smile upon us favorably, I am told. Good. We must discover how to gain their favor but tiny steps before we run, as such things go.

The fish are biting, the Industry is capable and providing. Also good. We will depend on their hard work for another year while we look for more stable sources of food/resources. Everyone appears to be happy with the shelters that were built and mating pairs are proving fruitful. Many blessings to be thankful for.

Looking to the future, there is much work to be done. We must Explore these lands to find its bounties and resources; we need much more available to us if we are to continue to grow. With luck, [ Rolls 1+2 ] the Explorers will find what we need.

To aid in our expansion, we must form build canoes, and bows for weapons/fishing. The canoes will allow our explorers more range and allow better travel over the most holy waters. The bows and arrows will increase our fighting strength and allow the explorers to possibly bring back a larger offering. [ If possible, hold off exploring until the first set of canoes/bows are finished? If not allowed they explore on foot/unarmed for the year. ]

Year 1 (Age of Rebirth)

[Roleplay of events of the Akastros Empire]

Scribe: Pinor Ali Farouk

The past year has been fruitful to our pashadom, the men rallied to defend our province have trained young men whose blood boil for the fatherland thus creating a little militia called the young Akùrs. Its prominent leader being a young lad called
Oloran Usman, he's been rather hot blooded during this past months rambling about waging wars with the eastern pashas to seize rightful territory. I have no honest opinion on this matter because I for one distrust the phoneix's prophecy but perhaps i'm to cynical to believe that our empire was created to be destroyed, I digress from the main point. Seems this young man will set out to the world eventually, only time will tell if he brings glory or shame to our pasha. On better news our economy is taking to pick up, implementing proper trade by barter practices we've been able to create a semi-sustainable realm of commerce. The problem now is to get proper commodities to fund this economy perhaps we should dabble into the craftsmanship taught to a select few of us from dwarvish soothsayers. A couple of ships have been built so let's see what kind of impact it can have on our province, a great news to share also is the slow and steady development of a forgotten agricultural art soon we shall remember. As I see it, our pasha is a dreamer and an idealist so he's currently imposing our former culture with new themes to scratch the fancy of the disgusting barbarians he brought with him, at least they are proper cannon fodder during a battle. I wonder if any merchant would pay good money to take them as sellswords, Well that's all I have to report at the time, may the glory of the true god shine bright

4 years have passed since the avatar-birther named Lupa was captured in a raid near the river. As expected, Isos mercifully strikes her down, leaving a lifeless body. As demanded by the tyrannical child, the umbilical cord was not cut and still remains tethering him to the corpse of poor Lupa.

“I said I won’t lose a mother. It’s time to use your famous erectomancy, Ejaculianius. I won’t accept failure.”

Erectomancy is the risky and draining practice of raising the dead as a flaccid shaft is raised from the softness. It involves transferring blood from the living to the dead, and often results in unintended consequences. Ejaculanius has famously bragged about his skills with this dark sorcery, although he may have slightly exaggerated as he only raised a walrus which died three days later from a brain aneurysm.

“Ye-yes Great Emperegnator, I’ll use the rest of the slaves.”

TURN:

12 Phallo-Priests attempt to raise the avatar’s mother from the dead in a erectomancy ritual. They sacrifice 11 humans for blood to use. Whatever abomination they may create terrifies them. Roll one

20 Incubi hunt walrus to keep up with the demand for food

With further knowledge and prosperity, the people of Daíona continue their work as usual. Those of gluttony still tend to the fields and diligently work at finding greater methods to produce abundance while the various others work on hunting. However, with far better capabilities of construction under the tribes belt, a number would create a far more sophisticated lodge for the tanning, butchering, and otherwise processing of game and the tools of a hunters trade. Similarly a number would work on new methods of working with skins of the animals hunted so that there could be greater amounts of clothing that lasted longer, all the while a small number gathered amber for themselves and the tribes. Yet, with the report of a number of nonblooded sighting their works, the tribes of Daíona would be swift to work on utilizing their new knowledge in architecture and the working of stone and wood for defensive structures, specifically creating a basic hillfort. All the while a number of halfdemons of wrath with long, sharp claws would train to become what was called Afanistís. Infantry armed with nothing but their natural claws, strength and agility who rely upon all three. Similarly, a number would work on a training field for them to practice with more than just extensive exercising and sparring, ideally with blunted claws to minimize injury. Though obviously if fighting with a real enemy was expected they would sharpen them. Ideally those villages would leave them alone and stay out of their way, though in the worst case scenario they'd at least be prepared...

"The Disk consumes my dreams. It erupts in fire and ash, burning everything. It shrouds the world in darkness, an eternal night where no living remain. Cold winds howl around it, causing an everlasting ice age. It endlessly spews a cursed mud that dissolves the very souls of those it touches. It summons a monster from beyond the stars, a parasite that feeds on the planet's life force and leaves behind an empty husk of a rock as it moves on. So many ways the world may end, and no way of telling which, if any, are a real threat and which are just the ramblings of my stressed mind. I have not shared my nightmares with those who followed me here. It would only cause them to worry needlessly. There is nothing any of us can do until we discover the first Circle of Power anyway.

The fishmen proved irrationally hostile. They are to be the first obstacle on our path. It is odd that I did not see their hostility, but not unprecedented. My visions have always been far from reliable. We were lucky to not suffer any losses so far, but I am not so naive as to expect this to remain the case. We are at war. Our lack of metal leaves our equipment equal or perhaps inferior to theirs. Golems, magic and intelligence are our only advantages against them. I have ordered the necessary preparations. Fortifications, patrols, training and Scrying will be the first steps that will lead us to victory. We will attempt to negotiate once more from a position of strength after we have humbled them. I do not wish to exterminate them but they may leave us no choice.

The imprisoned Cyclopes remain an enigma. Who put them in chains? Why? And more importantly, can they be trusted not to betray the one who frees them? I will keep striving to divine an answer to these questions.

Our attempts to summon Elementals were met with failure. We were unable to devise a stable, working Summoning Circle in time. Golem creation proved a more fruitful avenue. Perhaps in the coming years we will be able to resume experimenting with summoning circles, but in the meantime I retasked my people accordingly. Golems can be the backbone of both our workforce and our military. And with a proven way of creating them there is no reason to split our efforts.

Our sages are now devising a Scrying ritual. Using magic to view remote locations is our only hope of finding the Circles of Power in a timely manner, and will prove invaluable in following the fishmen's movements. They were here before us, they know the territory better than we do. There is no other way to prevent ambushes and raids.
>>
>>5101846
Despite the setbacks, construction of the Tower of the Arcane proceeds briskly. The new Golems have been an immense help in that, as well as in our burgeoning fields and orchards. I know I will not live to see the Tower's completion. This knowledge is another burden I cannot share with anyone, not even with my husband. I know he would try to avert my fate, and that would be disastrous."

>Build more tools use 30 bunnies
With the War of wolves at an end and the great warren once more secure once more, it is now time to morn and rebuild. To ensure victory the tools that were so important to the development and maintenance of the Great warrant were turned into weapons of war. Now that peace has returned it is time for the Tribe to build more creating enough that the workers and laborers of the tribe are properly equipped to do their respective jobs.

>Expand out the Great warren in size to accommodate the tribe’s growing population using 50 bunnies
The fecundity of the rabbit folk made Chieftain Cottontail glow with pride, holding his kits and watching his many young bucks and does play around himself and his now very voluptuous mate chiefess Cottontail made him smile with a warmth only a father can know. However, in the back of his mind, he recognized that the war with the wolves had slowed the development of the warren to keep up with the desires of his people's unending growth. To ensure that the growth never has to slow, the ruling couple organized the greatest expansion project seen since the founding of the great warren. Because in the end, Verameeka wills it, the population must grow.

>Develop basic education practical survival skills and wisdom using 10 bunnies
As the tribe grows and more kits are born their education in survival skills and the wisdom of those who came before them must be passed on. Calling on the elders of the tribe the dual chiefs ask them to prepare lessons in skills and wisdom for the kits that will help them thrive and better the tribe. Ensuring that those that come after us will be equipped to carry on our legacy expand the glory of lagolandia.

>Continue to develop tactics using 10 bunnies
While the war is over and our predators slew some questioned the need for further work into the idea of tactics, however, the mated chiefs disagree. Using these times of peace to prepare for war will ensure that when that time comes once more, Verameeka willing it won’t but if it does the bunnies of Fukrus will not be found unprepared.

KUGEL-GLOBO
The amazons are a proud people, and do not yield easily to pain. Even as the flames consume them, the most they let out are grunts and low groans. This inspires fear in the Kugel observing the ceremony; wails of pain are supposed to be necessary to connect to the gods! However, as the burnt corpses turn to charcoal, the pillar they were tied to remains standing, which is a sign of a successful sacrifice. More than that, the patterns on the pillar depict six bent lines in a diamond-shaped enclosure -- the sign of Lakur, god of the water. Below this depiction is a picture of a great ship with many frogs on it. The priests are united in explanation for these pictures -- the god wants you to build a great ship in his name. It should be said that taking too long to accomplish this challenge will probably anger Lakur. Not only that, you have no supply of truly good shipbuilding wood...
[The gods' blessing extends an additional 2 turns (until turn 8). You have received a challenge to build a great ship.]
[You have expanded the village on stilts. It will now provide a bonus to pop growth until 400 population.]

[Searching through the village, you find several accessories of noble metals: gold and silver. The amazons' weapons are mainly made out of stone, but some houses have iron spears and swords. Nothing particularly extraordinary though. You also find out from the slaves that they were occasionally visited by travelling merchants approaching the island from the south. You indeed spot some ships coming and going throughout the year. Perhaps that's where the amazons obtained the noble metals.]
The-One-Who-Leaps and several other heroes who have proven their worth in battle take the iron weapons for themselves.

With copper tool aiding in the construction of Alithetalati, the grand building is complete by the end of the year. Made of marble, its roof supported by pillars, and several grand lecture halls to hold debates and educate young Thesalonians, it is a testament to the craftsmanship of your people.

The idrudari taking the western lands once again stumble upon a unicorn. In fact, there's several of them! The magical beasts seem wary. They also dwell around the same area, as if avoiding something...
[You have expanded your lands along the coast. Perhaps a further exploration expedition would be good?]
>94
Making offerings and starving themselves, the priesthood finally receive a response from Akret. He touches some more idrudari, who glimpse the god's form, his indescribable magnificence. Akret grants you prosperity, and passes a gift of magic to several idrudari.
[This turn your growth rate was 0.1 higher. Several of your people have become mages.]
[Fruit trees have finally matured. They require 5 idrudari per 100 population in maintenance, but provide a +0.05 boost to pop growth and can be traded for other goods.]
You have 190 idrudari.

>>5101112
GREKLATINI
[You have planted some trees around the temple. They will mature and be ready to cut down in 3 years. Some are grumbling, however. The ultimate goal of the yetikind is to cause an ice age, and making the ground more fertile goes quite the opposite direction. Perhaps a change of agenda is in order?]
[The trade goes splendidly. You obtain a boat in exchange for some reindeer leather. Reverse engineering it, you find out they're of quite simple construction, using wedge-shaped parts to hold wooden planks together. You could construct one of these out of the wood you've obtained.]
>14
[The humans are adamant in their beliefs. Your proselytizing mission yields no results. It caused some enmity to appear between your two tribes.]
[Over the course of the year, the yetis make some trips to the mountains and build up a stockpile of stone once more. This can be used for a major building project.]
You have 174 yetis.

>>5101146
SOFTPAW
[You have constructed a canoe fleet of austronesian design. This will allow long-distance exploration expeditions.]
[Capturing birds for fletching and carving stones into arrowheads, you produce bows to aid the expeditions in case they encounter someone hostile. Besides that, with stone tools your projects require less workforce for same efficiency.]
In the latter half of the year, when all their equipment is produced, the expeditions depart...
>100
The first expedition returns with great news. They have found a sacred spring! The symbols of your sea gods are drawn over it. You do not know yet what it does, however. Besides the spring, your explorers have found a garden with all kinds of herbs growing in it. It'd be a great help to obtain medicinal or dye plants, but the garden itself is guarded by animated statues -- golems. They seem to possess a kind of intelligence, upon asking what you'd need to do to get access to the garden, they responded in low voices that you'd need to contribute a plant of your own. However, the garden itself is rather expansive itself, it'll be hard to find a plant that is not already there. Finally, your explorers have stumbled upon high-quality clay. This could be made into ceramics and traded.
>11
The other expedition returns with bad news. Apparently, in the jungle there's a barbarian chiefdom of Feajtak intent on raiding nearby villages and states. They have not paid attention to "small fries" like you yet, as the explorers managed to ascertain, but should you grow enough, their armies could very well appear at your doorstep.
>48
The gods are pleased with your sacrifices and maintenance of the shrine, but the most blessing you receive is them showing the way to the sacred spring from earlier.
You have 132 catfolk.

AKASTROS
[2/3 towards agricultural advancements]
Legacy of the Phoenix Empire lives on. Imposing ancient culture on new lands happens to be a bit hard, but slowly, your people are starting to unite and consider themselves citizens of a single state.
[I am not sure what you meant by unifying your culture if you already start relatively united?]
[A portion of your population starts specialising in combat. The Young Arùks are becoming stronger. They will now receive +10 bonus in combat instead of +5.]
Upon hearing your proposal, the merchants agree to let you know if any wars are waged where mercenaries are needed. By the end of the year, they inform you that on the western shore of the continent near your own, there is need for warriors to fend off a large number of dire wolves. Will you take up this offer?
>92
Usman Ali Farouk's voyage goes nicely. The young explorer finds two states. The first is a pashadom like yours, named Kilbeun, on the peninsula on the opposite site of the strait where your state is. They are rich due to the rare gold mines in their territory, but also strong as well, capable of hiring mercenaries to protect their precious metals. The second state is a tribe of lagomorphs. They seem rather peaceful, but still, some possess arms to defend themselves. They call their state 'Lagolandia'. Besides this, Usman has discovered ancient ruins on a peninsula between the two states. The explorers have not investigated it further, however.
[You have opened diplomacy with Lagolandia.]
You have 146 halfelves.
30 of the halfelves are Young Arùks (warriors).

>>5101208
EROS
>2
The erectomantic ritual goes horribly wrong. The corpse, inflated with blood, seems to stand for a few seconds, and sighs of relief are heard from the Phallo-Priests who believe it is done. However, moments later, the tissues of the Great Empregnator's mother burst in a red spray, and the umbilical cord is severed. Not only that, the avatar himself is wounded due to some of the accursed blood flowing into him.
[Due to walrus hunting, your pop growth this turn was 0.1 higher.]
[The Fucktorial Guard expands its members. Due to intensive training, their bonus in battle will be +15. This is not their skill ceiling, but obtaining further mastery over weapons is proving increasingly difficult.]
The yetis receive you with wariness, but without outright hostilities. They apparently trade with the tundra peoples sometimes, but their contacts are few. Still, they tell you that the Ice Temple is a tomb for a great hero of these lands' peoples, Mylthir. They do not know what the tomb contains, however. Perhaps there is some artifact of great power there?..
>66 + 10 (bone weaponry) = 76 vs 39 = 19 + 10 (bone weaponry) + 10 (numbers)
While you have suffered 15 casualties, overall the raid was a success. Your pool of women is replenished, and you have captured 30 more slave men.
You have 165 incubi and 30 human slaves.
17 of the incubi are in the Fucktorial Guard.
>>
>>5101271
STONE COLD MAWS
[1/5 snake unknown advancement.]
[The training proceeds smoothly. By the end of the year, you've got an engineering corps of masons and woodworkers.]
>32 + 15 (stronger) + 10 (bolas) + 5 (clubs & mauls) = 62 vs 84 = 74 + 5 (simple weaponry) + 5 (numbers)
The raid fails. Initially, it seemed like you were winning, but the damned batmen just kept coming at your forces, no matter how many were swatted by clubs or stricken down by bolas. At the end of the day, you made a dent in their numbers, but had to retreat with 25 casualties. Some of the more innovative trolls propose that making armour out of snake skin and training would give you more of an upper hand if you were to attack again.
You have 143 trolls.
20 trolls are woodworkers.
21 trolls are masons.

>>5101433
NW'SEMMES
>56 + 20 (length of rituals, amount of helpers)
The gods and spirits are impressed by your dedication, and answer your prayers. For two years, the land will give greater harvests than before, and your people will be cured of ailments and allowed better lives.
[Your pop growth receives +0.15 for two turns, including this one.]
[Blessed by the gods as well, hunters bring home a variety of game. Your pop growth this turn was 0.1 higher.]
[The village is built. With access to additional housing under the protection of the woodland citadel, your people feel better. Your pop growth is 0.05 higher until you reach 300 population.]
[The blacksmiths keep training. In a year, you'll have 30 smiths who can forge superior quality weapons.]
Closer to the end of the year, you make a diplomatic visit to the witch village. The Elder Witch greets you with kindness. You bring gifts, which further pleases her people. She agrees to send some mages to train your youths. As the conversation drifts to other matters, she mentions that dark news come from the west. Apparently, a necromancer tried attacking a kingdom there with his horde of undead, but was repelled, and now decided to attack western states to increase the numbers of his dark army. She asks if you would be willing to fight together should the twisted mage arrives on your borders.
[The youths begin their training. As with the warriors, it'll take 4 years for them to mature, but their support both in battle and at home will be invaluable.]
You have 186 elves and trolls.
>>
>>5101662
DAÍONA TRIBES
[A stage of agricultural research finishes. Armed with knowledge of which fertilizers to use for each plant, the gluttunous farmers increase the output of fields. The bonus from farming is +0.1 population growth instead of +0.05 now.]
[Hunting has, as previously, allowed greater prosperity. +0.1 population growth this turn. Moreover, due to construction of a lodge you may now research ways to harden leather into armour, as well as train dedicated hunters, who not only will hunt with greater efficiency, but also bolster your armed forces with their precise bow skill.]
[Your research into tanning will eventually allow you to produce leather of quality great enough to be considered a tradeable good. 1/3 tanning research.]
[Using your architectural advancements, the halfdemon builders erect a wall around the settlement. It's not exactly high, but it's better than a simple stockade and allows patrols to watch over the surrounding territories. It will provide +15 bonus on defence.]
[The training ground is built. You may specialise workers into warriors or Afanistís here.]
[The most wrathful of halfdemons begin using their claws to practice for the inevitable confrontation with humans. With the training ground constructed, they reach a certain level of mastery over the year.] [20 Afanistís will receive a +10 bonus in combat now.]
[The halfdemons gathering amber have built up a considerable stockpile. These could be crafted into exquisite decorations.]
[Due to your population growing, the housing you've constructed previously is no longer enough. To keep the +0.05 bonus, construct more.]
[Some of your people have reported sighting increasingly frequent groups of humans in the wood. They must be readying a strike against you...]
You have 253 halfdemons.
20 halfdemons are Afanistís.
>>
>>5101847
ZÉSH
[A golem workshop is built, a building laid out with magical binding circles and piles of raw materials ready to be made into constructs. With this, you may now construct more complex golems, or regular ones in greater amounts.]
[During this year, you have created 40 clay golems, for a total of 60.]
[You have constructed simple fortifications. They will provide a +10 bonus on defence.]
[The orchards have finally given a considerable harvest. 5 workers per 100 population are required to tend to the orchards, but due to your people's diet becoming more diverse, you receive +0.05 pop growth. Besides, fruit may be traded for some goods with merchants.]
The training yard is done in a few months. Here, your people train both in spellcasting and close-combat fighting, and by the end of the year, you have a militia ready to repel attacks.
[Your people will receive a +5 bonus in battle. They may be trained further, though.]
The patrols you organized are timely: the fishmen are becoming more aggressive, actually attempting incursions into your territory. With golems taking the brunt of damage, you have only 3 mage casualties, and 15 golems lost. You'd guess the fishmen are going to make a full-out attack soon.
[1/2 Scrying research]
>95
Divination on the cyclopes is successful; you receive visions of their long lives. Apparently, they were leaders of a mighty tribe, and were honest rulers, valiantly defending their people and ruling them fairly. For a time. The vision darkens after that; apparently, seduced by something, they have started precticing dark arts such as necromancy and soul manipulations. Eventually, they were defeated and imprisoned here in magical chains for eternity.
With most workers allocated to other projects, this year the Tower of the Arcane construction has not advanced.
You have 162 humans & elves.

QUANLI
[3/7 towards crab enhancement]
[The Fruit trees have matured. Allocate 5 workers per 100 population here to get +0.05 pop growth, or trade fruit away for other goods.]
The lizardmen seem friendly enough. They appear to be traders on a trip across the oceans, but with their ship in disrepair, their journey has been cut short. They are interested in your obsidian and wood. The lizardmen offer to teach you their shipbuilding expertise and provide some of their goods (including stuff like gold) in exchange for obsidian worked into accessories and helping them repair the ship, which appears to be stuck near some of the cliffs on the southern edge of the island.
[You have constructed a harbour with solid walls. This provides protection against enemies approaching by sea, and allows construction of complex ships.]
You have 175 fishmen.

>>5102288
SARMATIA

You determine the imprisoned gods' location to be an island, far to the west, between two great continents. There, giants of stone and horrid beasts stand guard beside their prison.
[You have constructed a lumber camp. The rate at which you obtain wood is increased.]
[You have built a war camp. Amazonian warriors and archers may be trained here.]
[7 amazons die in the fight, but a basilisk is successfully captured.]
[The edible plants are already being gathered regularly to feed the tribe. Perhaps planting them in more fertile land than swamps would be a good idea?]
You have 114 amazonians.

>>5102465
LAGOLANDIA
[You have equipped your workers with tools. Until you reach 300 population, projects require less workforce for same efficiency. After that, more tools will need to be built.]
[The Great Warren is expanded. It can now accomodate up to 400 bunnies.]
[Survival & wisdom education progresses nicely. The younger generation is definitely prepared for adult life; some of them display a particular interest in some of the things that are taught, such as plant qualities, or woodland navigation. If given further training, these could develop into woodsrabbits or herbalists.]
[The research into tactics progresses further. Various formations are devised. 3/6 military tactics advancement.]
You have 202 lagomorphs.

>>5103558
ANT EMPIRE
>51
[You have tamed a herd of giant beetles. They can aid in construction, or be used for food & making something out of their hard carapaces.]
[The Worker Ants devise a plan of cyclical re-planting and harvesting of trees in three-year cycles. This will require about 10 ants per 100 population to keep up.]
[Hunters bring in a good amount of game, once more. +0.1 to growth rate this turn.]
[The construction of the Great Hive Foundation progresses smoothly. 2/7 Great Hive Foundation.]
[The Queen's Room is insufficient to house the ever-growing numbers of ants. It will no longer provide a bonus to population growth, unless expanded.]
Your hunters have reported spotting giant wasps buzzing around, scouting your lands. Suspicious...
You have 257 ants.

>>5103645
TRUE OASIS
[You keep composting the sandy land, making it more fertile. It slowly, but surely darkens, turning into soil. 2/7 land improvement.]
[You have started producing wine.]
Over the year, you invite various bedouin groups to party, and your oasis becomes a popular local place. The caravans are more open to trade than ever! [What would you like to trade for with the bedouins?]
You have 161 satyrs.

Another fruitful year and the Gods have shown us their favor(s). There is much to cover. A Sacred Spring! A most holy site has been found. According to our lore, these sites are tied to the Gods who watch over them and by extension the folk who tend them. What secrets does it hold? What can we learn? Perhaps the Gods will speak to those who are listening.

A Garden was encountered that appears to be under guard by Golems. They request an offering of a sample of a new plant. Our explorers are always seeking new plants as a matter of their job, access to this site would be a great boon. Perhaps the fabled and rare Holy Catnip will be found inside? I have never partaken of it myself. The elders tell stories and it is a great honor to be chosen. Often reserved to the warriors before battle and various clergy as part of their rites when it is available. To find a supply.. My mouth waters at the thought. Leaders who achieve such a feat are remembered through song and dance and by name. To gain access to a supply enough for the common folk is grounds for a Leaders reign to be remembered as a Golden Age. Perhaps I will be- Enough, I cannot dwell on this further. Our explorers understand the stakes at hand and a bounty has been established as reward to the team that succeeds in finding a new plant for the Golems or Holy Catnip itself.

We have Barbarians to our SouthEast. They call themselves the Feajtak and are raiders. They are too close for comfort, and it is only a matter of time until they turn lustful eyes in our direction. We cannot sit idly by and wait until it is too late to defend ourselves. Preparations are being put into motion. We have lived as nomads and explorers for most of our history; but we as a folk are once again digging in our claws to the earth; this area is worth defending. The Sacred Spring is so sacred that to have it within our borders is a great honor. We cannot leave, we cannot be defeated. We must survive, we must learn its secrets.

Which brings us back to the issue at hand of barbarian raiders. It is time to raise a standing militia that trains and focuses on warfare as their daily job. It is a small group for now. Smaller than I would like. With time we will have more folk to dedicate to our defense. It is only a matter of time until the raiders come to our lands. Next year we will dedicate time and effort towards walls and palisades and archery towers. First we need skilled archers. Baby steps.

Eventually we will have the time and resources to train every catfolk in archery; so that all may serve in defense. It will take work to get there but it is work worth taking.

[ Happy New Year everyone! ]

The Kugel-Globo are joyous to receive a message from Lakur. He has given them a divine mission that must be completed post-haste, however the island does not have great shipbuilding wood and building Lakur's ship with inferior wood would only anger Lakur. Lakur's ship must not only be a ship, but a monument to him, a symbol of his holiness and power.

There is also a question of what to do with the amazonian slaves. They are poor workers purposely working slowly despite their great strength, too prideful to be cowed by the overseers spears. It is decided that the amazonians will be given an ultimatum. They must convert to our gods and they will be accepted as apart of the Kugel people, not as workers, slaves in all but name, but as a proud caste of warriors who will fight for the gods glory, killing heathens and capturing sacrifices in battle. It is also made clear that once they convert the amazonians will be recognized by the gods as their worshipers and the Kugel gods are cruel and vengeful, willing to strike down a blasphemer at any moment who would dare pledge themselves to the heavens and then turn their backs. Betrayal will not be wise.

>Free Amazon slaves and create Amazon warrior-caste who's sole job will be related to martial matters

[Roleplay of events of the Akastros Empire]

Scribe: Deniz Ibinzion
The past year has been grateful to our little feudal state, trade is up and running, buildings are being stacked, farms are being expanded, military power is being reorganized and rejuvenated. I cannot tell you the horrors we faced during the battle of Isha, brother vs brother, father vs son and vice versa. It was a horrible event which would destroy any normal civilization but since we are already destined to collapse it didn't affect, now we march on to new heights. The merchants of the world have been visiting more regularly, they recognise the skills of our young men who have military tactics known from both unknown cultures and can synergize this martial concepts. The young Arùks at the end of every year have 5-30 graduates, 60% of this officers go on to become military advisors or generals while 30% become judges or justicars. Only 10% are eager for combat and a thrill, thus sending them the merchants sounds like a good idea since Usman Ali Farouk went AWOL because we couldn't give him his thrills. My little ear heard that a certain tribe of harefolk are having troubles with wildlife, we should send some of our talented officers to go help them so they can help us with a future offensive against the eastern pasha.
A little step is same as a large leap

Total: 175 Quanli

20 Quanli will maintain their tireless watch over our herds of Crabs.

20 Quanli will keep nurturing and tending to the fruit tree groves.

20 Quanli will man our fishing fleet and fish the waters around our island.

20 Quanli will resume their work in our quarry, bringing up stone and obsidian.

30 Quanli will work on improving our village, strengthening houses with quarried stone.

30 Quanli will go and see what help the stranded Lizardmen need, to repair their ship and learn their shipbuilding expertise as well as crafting some obsidian accessories to suit the Lizardman tastes for the purposes of furthering trade. 5 Quanli Warriors will attach to this group to try and keep this operation secure from potential threats.

And 30 Quanli (half of them trained warriors) will go to scout the unexplored side of our island to see what treasures, wonders or terrors we might be sharing a home with. Will there be metals in the ground, sugars and spices, fine clays for potting, new beasts to domesticate?

Town is taking shape. I might add fluff later, busy weekend.

>Use the Golem Workshop to produce two new types of Golems. 3/4 of the production will be Clay War Golems, sturdier than the basic model, armed with built-in bludgeoning weapons and unsuited for civilian tasks. 1/4 will be Clay Panther Golems, focused on speed and attack over sturdiness, they will serve as a rudimentary light cavalry to flank and harass.
>Use golems to improve our fortifications by digging a ditch and erecting towers along the palisade.
>Finish research of Scrying.
>Train our militia further.
>24 of our people will abandon their other duties and train full time to become proper Battle Mages.
>Intensify patrols until we can follow their movements with Scrying or they attack, whichever comes first. We cannot be caught unaware.
Basic strategy is to use all our stacked defensive bonuses to crush their assault and then deliver terms: We will not be driven out. We do not wish to enslave or exterminate them but they will leave us no choice if they do not surrender now. Their people can prosper together with ours if only we end this pointless war.

The lack of imidate aggression and the knife eared stilt legs leaders show of respect soothed the chief and chieftess, but the total lack of a common tongue was worrying very worrying indeed. a short and hushed conversation is had between the pair clad in their snow-white dire wolf furs. before both seem to nod to one another in agreement.

with a word, the various bunnies around the strangers seem to relax, not griping their weapons as tightly nor looking at the strangers as sharply. a closer look shows that if the strangers attempted to be hostile, they would not be taken off guard, and on them in moments.

though likely the main focus of the strangers would be on the two dire wolf fur-clad bunnies as they place their weapons into sheath stepping forward and raising their hoods. the buck has soft and plush lop ears and is covered from head to toe in a creamy brown fur coat, the doe is a sleek gray from tip to tail, with proud and tall ears turned toward the strangers. the two return the gesture of respect bowing their heads to the lead kife eared slit legs. before the Buck speaks

Whether or not the yeti should use things that won't be available during the ice age is a debate as old as the tribe. The current chief had overthrew the previous one over this debate and feared that he himself may be overthrown if he didn't assure the people still respected him. So he began to get some of his most loyal supporters to help him. He also ordered the missionary yeti to make amends with the humans. Meanwhile the tribe puts their wood to good use.

With the sightings of humans ever more present, and the potential of a strike incoming, a greater number of the more wrathful and a few more prideful would be trained to become Afanistís in a similar manner as to before, though in greater numbers. Ideally, the sizable enough force would prove to be enough to protect the tribes from any attempted assault, and after such the human attackers who lived could be interrogated to allow a counter attack to be organized. However first was further preparations for battle, and in that simply more soldiers would do. As this was done, a sizable number would start working on the work of tanning. Mostly due to the skins that the many hunters had to offer from their work. This would ideally allow far more clothing for the population and far more comfortable and longer lasting clothing at that. Further the village itself would be further expanded due to the increasing population, all with more advanced houses thanks to the new methods of construction and the materials utilized in such. While all this was underway though, a number tied to greed would try and make use of the copper that was found, getting a number to gather it while a sizable number worked on what was taken from the earth to properly work the material into something useful, if such a method could even be found, while another subsection of prideful crafters worked on making the most beautiful trinkets with the amber that was gathered. The only other main thing of note was that the hunters would simply sharpen their skills and techniques further, partially due to the threat of invasion and partially due to the desire to further improve their craft and gather greater amounts of food and leather for the future. All in all though, the tribes were really coming into something of their own. Perhaps at the rate they were going they might become something of a proper civilization or city state. And the place they built their homes that they have stayed for far longer than most would gain a name. Tylisseutherna.

The colony is a bustling hive of activity- the priests are ecstatic about all the growth and development, but organizing is getting quite difficult! So, priests take to leading the chieftains and their citizens personally, managing tasks and assigning roles on the fly.
For now, expansion is stalled- we do not want to risk lives discovering what is upsetting those majestic beasts, our efforts are better spent otherwise: gathering food, building huts and workshops, to eventually improve all of our tools and homes!
And how could we forget about our great divine? Prayer must be kept up!

Seeing the strangers either didn't understand the message in the drawings or had no place to return to, which the bunnies surmised as their equipment wasn't in the best condition upon closer inspection, the decision was made to allow them to remain in Lagolandia but not in the warren, they were still strangers after all. it was decided they would lead the strange stilt-legged knife ears, to a nearby meadow away from the settlement but still within their land. Furnishing them with supply and material to make lodging, perhaps in time, the language barrier can be successfully broken down. but that is an endeavor that will take considerable time and effort on both party's sides.

[ Fluff for next round because inspiration hit ]

> There is a saying - that even the smallest kitten can be wise. It started quite simply, with an astute observation. As the kitten listened intently to the storyteller regaling the exploits of the explorers, the young one asked about the golems and what exactly they were. The Elder explained that they were made of clay and powered by magic. '...Clay like we have?' and all conversation stopped.

> The kitten had not asked something taboo but had stumbled upon a blind spot all of us Elders shared - With all the progress the scouts and Explorers had made during the last year, we had simply not considered dabbling with magic at all. It is not that magic is unknown to us - Simply put, culturally, it was rare. Tidecallers, catfolk with control over water; tended to show aptitude at a young age and one has not been born for generations. We have a story of a Tidecaller mother giving birth to another Tidecaller and an Aircaller ( even rarer! ) together, and that is recognized as essentially Legend. Past CatLords often called for these children to be put to death because of fear and insecurity over power. I am not those past leaders. In more recent times, Tidecallers fables have changed and the last one generations ago was raised and became a skilled expedition leader, able to control the seas and at least partially the weather.

> Such a skilled magician would be a boon to our folk in these times, if one were to be born. But again, it has been generations since any magical catfolk has been born, and that coupled with our folk not settling down means that we have essentially a magical blind spot. We know magic ( and even stranger things ) exists, but we have no experience with it. But we can potentially learn. We can study the Golems of the Garden and with time/luck potentially unlock the ways of Golemancy. Perhaps the Golems can be persuaded to teach us an insight with an offering of our fine clay. Perhaps they will understand our plight, our desire for a stronger defense than our simple stone can offer.

[ Next round - The plan is to attempt to send the explorers back with the potters and a golems worth of fine clay as an offering. Using the potters and time to craft a golem in the Garden golem's image and perhaps show worth/value to the Golems or hopefully a living caretaker? Someone made them, perhaps a mage is still around. To learn Golemancy would be a valuable skill for our people armed only with clay and stone. We did not ask questions and perhaps there is more to learn ]

[ It is likely going to be a fight getting the catfolk to settle down and settle in to establishing roots in a single location. Exploring and wanderlust have been the generational and cultural identity for quite some time and while stories exist of an empire of catfolk, those are stories told and not seen as a reality to be lived. To be continued character limit -

[ With time and technological advances and defenses they are likely to come around; but it will come down to winning these battles and slowly winning a war against constant uprooting and traveling and exploring. Some of this will be able to be mitigated by allowing the catfolk with the most wanderlust to go on exploring expeditions and seeing new sights and returning with stories. Even to known locations like the planned expedition back to the Garden/ or the Sacred Shrine. But that trick will only work so many times, rotating through the catfolk with wanderlust and old locations will get old and new expeditions will need to be planned. Balancing these needs against our new need for defense and training will be a struggle; but a fight I think can be won. It will take years to rewrite the cultural identity to this location and taking pride in what we accomplish/build; but it can be done. In many ways my lasting reputation as a CatLord rides on establishing these new roots and digging in our claws. Continuing to practice our religion will be essential to bridging this gap which is part of why I have kept the faith these years thus far. I dont know how long it will take. ]

THESALON
[Wool yield increase 4/10]
[Due to more than necessary workers allocated to marble extraction, you have built up a stockpile for a major project.]
Your scouts return. They report finding the Kingdom of Antellim. It is ruled with an by tyrants, quick to stomp out any opposition, yet at the same time relatively egalitarian, allowing the lower classes to ascend to administration with enough willpower, so long as they don't anger their superiors. Their cities and villages possess councils that manage resources allocated to them from the central government. Antellimians are a hard-working, diligent people, quite welcoming too, greeting your scouts with openness. Their main production is zinc, a rare metal used in brass smelting. They also herd sheep and cut down shipbuilding wood. Antellimians trade extensively with peoples on the southern side of the sea.
Another piece of information your scouts have learned is that a necromancer is building his army to the east, beyond the borders of Antellim. A worrying development.
Regarding scholar education, it'll take 3 years until the elders fully instruct them on sciences. When they're ready, they may be assigned to various tasks such as drawing up architectural plans, documenting your people's culture, etc.
[1/3 36 scholar training]
[You have built a port. Provided you supply it with shipbuilding wood, galley midships may be constructed here. This also opens up the possibility of sea trade.]
[Workshops are built. Here, masons, woodworkers and other craftsmen may be trained.]
[With population growing, free houses are being occupied. They need to be expanded should you want maintain the pop growth bonus.]
You have 238 cynocephales.
>>
>>5105204
STONE COLD MAWS
The masons' expertise comes in handy as the arena is built. Cyclopean methods of construction -- joining very smooth stones together without the use of mortar -- lend themselves to a grand building in the middle of the jungle. Moreover, since it is dedicated to Vaprak, the Troll God smiles upon you. Due to its size, it'll take 2 turns to be built. [1/2 Grand Stone Arena]
[2/5 snake ??? project]
>93
Snow Reader returns with the search party. While they have not found many industrial or direct application goods, they report finding cocoa trees and trees with curious resin that can be used as dyes and aromatic substances. They also report that to the south, the jungle slowly recedes first into savanna, and then into rocky desert. There, they by chance met a caravan of bedouins. Communication was tough, but they determined that a trade route passes to the south of your lands.
[You have obtained access to local trade network.]
[You have equipped your trolls with snakeskin armour. This will provide a +7 bonus in combat.]
[Woodworkers and Maul Shaper continue their education. It'll take another year for them to finish experimenting, but then they'll be able to construct machines to aid in building or war. 1/2 woodworker education.]
You have 165 trolls.

>>5105231
SOFTPAW
The gods are pleased with your constant tending to the shrine. Should you maintain it for a couple more years, you'll receive a blessing. [2/4 Gods' blessing]
>47
The northern explorers report that forests give way to plains there. They've sighted a herd of wild horses -- these could be domesticated as beasts of burden. There is nothing more of note there, at least as far north as the explorers have gone.
[Over the year, the potters gain experience. As a result, you have started producing ceramics. These boost your peoples' quality of life. Obtain one more resource of the same type, and you'll receive a bonus. Alternatively, these could be traded away.]
[You have built a bow and arrow workshop and shooting range. Your archers can be trained further with this.]
>5
A disaster strikes! The workers have accidentally corrupted the spring with impurities and dirt as they built the supporting structures around it.
>96
However, the gods were willing to forgive this blunder due to your dedicated worship. The spring clears itself, and is ready to be studied again.
[You have trained 20 warriors. They will receive a +10 bonus in combat. Their skill can be enhanced further.]
You have 159 catfolk.
20 catfolk are warriors.

KUGEL-GLOBO
The Amazons are divided. Half of them join the warrior caste, yet half remain as slaves, faithful to the old spirits of the land that they worshipped.
[The freed Amazons train with warriors, teaching them ways of waging war. Your 30 warriors now get +10 bonus to combat rolls. They can be trained further, but that requires specialised training facilities.]
[The mast of the ship is ready.]
>27
The swamplands of your home are poor in wildlife whose skins or meat can be regarded as of high quality. The best they can do is kill the rare crocodile and harvest its skin.
>71
The merchants come and go over the year, returning with increasing amounts of shipbuilding wood. This is quite odd considering how little you can offer them. It'll take another year for it to become large enough for the project you're attempting to implement.
[1/2 shipbuilding wood stockpile. Roll another time next turn unless you find something valuable.]
[You have built a harbour. Greater ships may be constructed here.]
>38
The blood magic rituals are unsuccessful. With no reference material and help from gods, the Kugel only wound themselves in search of spells that can aid them. Perhaps they're simply not meant for mortals to possess.
>57
The gods recognize the devotion of The-One-Who-Leaps, and show him a sign in the sky as his seclusion comes to an end. However, various signs the priests notice indicate that he must complete one more ordeal -- slay a mighty beast on the mainland by himself -- for him to be accepted as the Champion of the Gods.
You have 198 Kugel frogmen, 20 amazonians and 15 amazonian slaves.
30 of the Kugel are warriors.
All free amazonians are warriors.

LAGOLANDIA
[4/6 tactics research.]
[Dire wolves have grown. The tamers report that you'll have a loyal and trained pack of wolves next year.]
The expansion of various warren facilities has proven fruitful. With comfier breeding dens and greater shrine to Verameeka, the rabbitfolk has access to both recreation and faith for the foreseeable future.
[Breeding Dens and Shrine to Verameeka will provide bonuses until 600 population now.]
[Woodsrabbits and herbalist training is proceeding smoothly. One more year and their education will be done.]
With greater population, better technology for food production is needed. Your researchers begin experimenting with agriculture on small plots of land dedicated to this purpose.
[1/3 agricultural research.]
Others study the ways in which stone may be shaped and extracted from earth. However, without considerable deposits or highlands nearby, the research is predicted not to go too far.
[You have researched Basic Masonry. Build a workshop for training masons. To further research this branch, gain access to deposits of stone.]
>40
The scouting parties return with meagre finds. They've brought with them some fruit, which can roughly be categorized as luxury food, and information that to the east a herd of aurochs, wild bulls and cows, dwells. They could be domesticated.
In the past year, something is going awry in the tribe...
You have 304 lagomorphs.
30 of them can't be allocated to work because of ??? (roll 1d100 to find out the cause, DC: 90 but will get lower over time)

ANT EMPIRE
Some ants are tending to trees, but simply not enough for the colony to grow.
[Allocate 10 ants per 100 population to get a growth bonus.]
The Queen's Room is greatly expanded, including branching passages leading to areas where eggs are kept and nurtured by the Hive.
[Queen's Room is now Queen's Hall -- provides bonus to pop growth until 700 ants.]
[Ant Princes become the warrior caste of the Hive as a nimble strike force. They will receive +10 bonus in combat.]
[You have equipped your ants with javelins. This will provide +5 bonus in combat until 500 population. After that, more javelins will need to be made.]
[Makeshift tools out of easily obtainable materials are made. Projects require less workforce for same efficiency until 600 ants.]
>22
You find little to no plants that are highly-toxic enough to be used in battle. There still remains the option of venomous animals, such as snakes.
The wasps are getting more aggressive. They have kidnapped or outright killed 20 ants on missions around your territory.
You have 276 ants.

Uhh... I wish you would just allocate pops normally, without dividing them into weird castes. Children & old folks are included in the hidden part of your population already, so is your ruler.
[Farmers have finished their research. They've now got knowledge of which fertilizers to use for which plants, this will boost crop yield. You'll get +0.1 pop growth from food instead of +0.05.]
The noble tribesmen present a plan to Pasha regarding the expansion of the village. It includes paving the roads with stone, building medicinal and recreational places. However, without properly trained masons and/or woodworkers, it will remain just that -- a plan, not reality.
[You have founded a military school. Here, officers to lead the regular troops may be trained.]
The merchants laugh at your offering of 6 Aruks as mercenaries. They respond that they need several dozens for them to be considered a proper force.
[Sailors have received the basic training, but there's not enough of them to man even a single ship. They will receive a +5 bonus to combat on the seas.]
[Shipwrights have finished another galley smallship. However, it'd require over half your population to man the full fleet. Perhaps it's time to slow down a little?]
Worrying reports come from the west. A barbarian chiefdom, one of those which sprawled up after your empire's collapse, is becoming more aggressive, sending scouts into your territories. It's only a matter of time before casualties are sustained.
You have 176 halfelves.
36 are Young Aruks.
13 are sailors.

QUANLI
[4/7 crab enhancement]
[New houses are being built and reinforced with stone from the quarries, both expanding the living area and fortifying your village. Bonuses to pop growth from housing will remain until 500 Quanli now.] [Provide housing with enhancements, and you'll get people in a better mood, boosting both their productivity and performance in combat.]
>85 + 10 (crabshell armour) + 10 (obsidian weapons) + 5 (training) + 10 (numbers) + 15 (harbour) = 135 vs. 93 = 58 + 10 (experience) + 15 (iron weapons) + 10 (ranged advantage)
Your scouts hurry back from the other side of the isle to report a pirate cove! At the same time, a ship full of them attacks the merchant lizardmen. The ensuing battle is tough, but you ultimately emerge victorious, capturing a galley midship (100 crew required) and 50 pirates as slaves. Your own numbers, however, decrease by 25 Quanli, brave warriors sacrificing their lives to protect the tribe.
Due to urgent news and a fierce battle, the scouts couldn't complete their survey in time. What they found out is that the southern part of the island contains little in resources, except for a growth of sugar cone. It'll take several years to make proper plantations, however.
Except for the pirate incident, the repairs to the ship are progressing as usual. By the end of the year, the breaches in hull are repaired, and the workers performing them are instructed by the lizardmen in the ways of shipbuilding. They also exchange obsidian accessories for gold and several sacks of spice. They also promise that they'll put your name out there once they depart.
[You have gained a stockpile of spice and gold. You have gained access to a local trade network. 30 of Quanli are now experienced shipwrights.]
You have 194 Quanli and 50 human slaves.
30 of Quanli are shipwrights.

ZÉSH
[You have enhanced your defence with a ditch and watchtowers. Your fortifications now provide +20 bonus in combat.]
[You produce 20 golems, 15 war clay and 5 panther clay ones, by the time fishmen attack.]
[The militia is trained to the greates extent at +10 bonus to combat. To further enhance their performance, a dedicated warrior corps need to be organized.]
These are all the preparations you manage to get done before the fishmen attack in summer. There are 150 of them, with warcries they descend upon your village, intent on subduing your people...
>49 + 20 (fortification) + 10 (militia) + 10 (tactical superiority - golems) + 10 (magic) = 99 vs 81 = 71 + 10 (bone weaponry)
... and get crushed in their reckless assault. Counterattacking with panther golems in pursuit, you chase them to their village and fully subjugate their people. While they may be subservient now, it'll require years of indocrination for them to change their warlike ways. You have dominion over 100 fishmen now. It remains to be decided what exactly to do with them.
Tallying the losses, you determine that half your golem army and 20 sorcerers lay dead in and around your village.
[You have finished scrying research. You may now scout the surroundings with greater precision and monitor the waters around your island. Immediately putting it to use, you detect merchant ships passing nearby, and let them know about your village. You have gained access to local trade network.]
[24 battle mages begin their training. Masters of both sword and sorcery, they will become fearsome warriors against your enemies. They have +15 bonus in battle.]
You have 183 humans and elves, 100 fishmen, and 32 golems of various types.
24 of humans are battle mages.

GREKLATINI
[Your gifts of deer skin and meat have appeased the humans. The failed proselytization attempt is now in the past.]
[The yetis communicating with the tribe on behalf of the chieftain slowly, but surely indoctrinate the yetifolk that that using objects that won't be around in the ice age is alright. The grumbling won't settle for some time, however.]
[Using part of the lumber stockpile for tanning, and then boiling the leather in water melted from snow, your craftsmen equip the common yetis in leather armour. This will provide a +8 bonus in combat until 300 population.]
[Using the lumber stockpile from the southern expedition, yetis who reverse-engineered the whalers' boat get to work in constructing boats. By the end of the year, you've got a fishing fleet. If you dedicate 10 yetis per 100 population to fishing, your pop growth rate will increase.]
Whaler humans bring worrying news. Apparently, somewhere to the southeast, a warlord is assembling an army, intending to raid the western coast of the continent. He'll soon be heading to your peninsula. The whalers won't be joining him, and ask for your help should he decide to force them to join. Some yetis, however, propose that you partake in the raid...
With the tribe growing in size, there is not enough slings and tools for the same efficiency. More of these need to be assembled.
Remember to man the iron mine if you want iron, and that there's a sulfur deposit in the mountains.
You have 200 yetis.

>>5106671
DAÍONA TRIBES
[The numbers of Afanistis increase over the year. There are 60 of them by the time the humans attack.]
>86 + 15 (wall) + 10 (Afanistis) = 111 vs. 1 = 1 (CRITICAL FAILURE) + 15 (bronze weapons) + 10 (numbers)
While the humans are better equipped, it is a disaster for their army. Slaughter reigns on the battlefields, as Afanistis tear through flesh with their brittle claws. Losing only 5 halfdemons, you kill 50 humans and capture 50 more as slaves.
[100 bronze weapons have been scavenged.]
[2/3 tanning research.]
[The housing has been expanded. It may now accomodate up to 600 halfdemons.]
[Your people begin their research into metallurgy. Ways in which the metal can be cast, tools for shaping hot metals into shape, and other things are being investigated. 1/3 metallurgy research.]
[Using simple tools, your halfdemons extract copper from the earth in the outcropping. It'll be some years until the metallurgical research advances before it can be molded into a proper shape.]
[30 halfdemons become Hunters. Until your population breaks through 600, should they be assigned to a hunt, they will provide a supply of not only meat, but also muscus and less-damaged leather which can be crafted into higher quality garments.]
[Using up the amber stockpile, you've created jewelry. Prized by the more prideful halfdemons, it becomes a symbol of status and respect. One more resource of this kind, and you will get bonuses due to improved quality of life.]
A stunning development -- Mávithanátoslepdas, the accursed sword, moves on its own, twisting and pointing north with its blade as an echo is heard from it. Perhaps its owner is in that direction? More magical investigation about the sword is needed...
You have 317 halfdemons and 50 human slaves.
30 of the halfdemons are hunters.
55 of the halfdemons are Afanistis.

>45
[Prayers please Akret, yet he is hesitant to give you another blessing. Perhaps he wants you to advance on your own...]
[You have constructed workshops. Various craftsmen can be trained here.]
Slightly alarming news have been reported from the western reaches. Unicorns there have been disappearing, some of theirs skin stained in black. Suspicious, crackling sounds are heard from the woods...
With growing population, burrows need to be expanded if they are to accomodate enough idrudari.
You have 238 idrudari.

[The bedouins are happy to trade fruit other than what grows around the oasis for wine. They offer bananas, pineapples, mango, as well as the exotic cocoa beans.]

The merchants deliver you a mild narcotic plant called the dreamweed. It is not very potent, but induces a sleep-like state in those consuming it.

20 assigned to capture Horses and build Pasture support structures etc. Begin breaking/training if time allows [Roll3]
57 assigned to train as Warrior - Archery+Claws for melee
[Roll4 - General Luck / Gods Favor]

[Roll2] - 10 Wanderlust catfolk and the 2 trained potters with an offering of our finest clay; to attempt to study/learn from the Golems and/or mages/caretakers the ways of Golemancy. This may not be possible but we will try.

Another fine year for the catfolk with much to plan/discuss -

Tragedy struck as our builders were working near the Sacred Spring, and it became polluted. But the Gods showed favor upon us and the Spring was able to purge itself of said impurities. Truly this is a holy site. With luck we will come to understand the Gods involved, one of these years. The holy catfolk will continue their study and I have faith that they will have good news to report. All in good time.

Our explorers found wild horses in the North, and this year we will send an expedition to capture the herd and bring them back to be trained and raised. With luck and time we will train them as beasts of burden, with more time perhaps we can train them for combat as well.

Speaking of combat, preparations are well underway to prepare for eventual battle with the barbarians nearby. We plan to build defenses and our warriors are remembering the ways of combat as I write this. It has been quite some time since there was a standing army of catfolk; our folk have been explorers and travelers for so long. We must draw deep for the Honor of our ancestors and past empires. With luck and strength may we become a modern one.

To aid us in our preparations for war I am sending a caravan back to the Great Garden to research Golemancy. As I wrote before this is a foreign magick to us but perhaps it is one we can learn and come to understand. Our two trained potters and some explorers experiencing wanderlust are being sent with an offering of our finest clay from the pit. With luck they will scratch that itch and return successful in their study of the magick.

Another year of luck and growth. May the Gods continue to favor us.

Total: 194 Quanli (30 Shipwrights), 50 Human Slaves

20 Quanli will maintain their tireless watch over our herds of Crabs.

20 Quanli will keep nurturing and tending to the fruit tree groves.

20 Quanli will man our fishing fleet and fish the waters around our island.

20 Quanli will continue their work in our quarry, bringing up stone and obsidian.

30 Quanli will work to develop and improve our toolmaking abilities, doing their best to replicate any tools we might have come across upon either the Lizardmerchant or pirate vessels as well as developing their own ideas with local resources.

30 Quanli will use the stone we quarry this year to lay out stone irrigation systems, directing any local streams into the village so that both the Quanli and our local agricultural projects can be kept nice and moist.

The 30 Quanli Shipwrights will spend the year working on our various vessels; maintaining and repairing the captured galley midship and repairing and upgrading our fishing vessels with our new knowledge.

As we would not expect scurrilous, dishonourable pirates to obey orders or hold much discipline under instruction, 20 Quanli will spend their time breaking and training these 50 human thralls so they might do work to make up for the harm they have done our people under firm Quanli control. If they are judged sound to work as we wish, we will have them begin working on creating a plantation for sugar cane.

actions - Maintain composting & wine production. Construct a inn/bathhouse called "Satyr's Gift". Construct a workshop. Experiment with the cocoa bean to make things like chocolate & hot coco. Research making glass or if glassmaking is known start producing glassware for the inn. Trade or build anything needed for the other actions.

I also asked to trade for camels QM if there is a reason that wasn't mentioned in the turn then you can ignore these actions: Milk the camels. Research camel butter, yogurt, & cheese. Combine camel milk research with cocoa bean research for better hot coco & milk chocolate. Shear the camel & make pillows and blankets for the inn and to trade.

Year 3 (Age of Rebirth)

[Roleplay of events of the Akastros Empire]

Councilor: Suldusk Baradar Eren

Greetings and salutations bureaucrats of the pashadom I write this report to fully explain the extent of last year's work in detail, as you may know several younger officers went AWOL and we lost track of them. Due to this circumstances the academy would be much harder on newer recruits and scrutinize every action taken by them, this isn't to punish then per say just to make sure they have a good head on them. I applaud our farmers for the hard work they've accomplished, due to their perseverance and tenacity we know have a stable food source which negates the risk of us foraging this badlands. Giving us the ample opportunity to scout and report back on their findings, we anticipate that the job would be a difficult one but none less a better reason to send the brightest to test their mettle. Several Tribesmen threw in in genius ideas which our Pasha was planning to do eventually but was occupied by other pressing matters, apparently we need to make this refugee camp more of a capital so building a watch tower, moats, ditches, better stone buildings and a plaza would help grow our budding empire. Sadly we do not have the individuals to build such sophisticated structures, so the executive order is to train as much people as we can. We cannot build a proper navy without a bigger population it would be rather comedic to civilians embark with us on the high sea but thats a risk none are willing to take, the only course of action to be taken here is to abandon dreams about sailing because we have a problem inland. A barbarian clan seems to have spawned over yonder and are violating our national integrity by sending scouts over our border, I'm not a man of violence but I do hope this rapscallions get what's coming to them. The economy is doing well at least not that we have much of an industry to attract more merchants, even our human resources seems to be lacking and I write this as a councilor not a father but I certainly hope those young Arùks return home safely.

Major historical events
0 FGW year of the founding of the great warren following the unification of the two largest tribes and the absorption of the many minor tribes.

3 FGW The war of the wolves began with the lose of 7 bunnies, and the safety of Fukrus.

4 FGW War of the wolves end with the great Dire wolf pack having been wiped out and their pups were taken for our own.

5 FGW The bunnies of Fukrus, develop Survival & wisdom education and expand the great warren, allowing for even more unending growth and
prosperity. The tools lost to the war of the wolves are replaced giving them tribe even more utility.

6 FGW The tribe upgrades the breeding dens and worship burrows ensuring the population has access to pleasure and faith in equal measure. They also began developing new methods of farming and stone working, all while something begins to steer within the warren itself striking down 30 bunnies with some kind of ailment.

Important figures:
Chieftain Peter Cottontail

Chieftess Judy Cottontail (formerly Judy Hopps)

Goals:
Build a workshop

Domesticate the wild cattle to the east

Scout eastward

Learn the half-elf tongue

>20 Bunnies will continue to teach Survival & wisdom education for the aspiring Woodsrabbits and Herbalists, as they grow ever closer to being masters of their chosen fields.

>20 Bunnies continue researching agriculture for ways to improve crop yield and survivability. While the past year was a good start, the work was only just beginning. And not a moment too soon, more and more of the population was needed to just keep up with current population levels to say nothing of the ever-growing need to breed that would ensure those population levels would just keep rising.
>>
>>5109411
2/2

>40 Bunnies developing and building improved tools, as the population of Lagolandia the demands of its workforce grow. Old tools are starting to break and are in short supply. Complaints of not having the tools needed to work are common only second to those about how half the time these tools are so old that they are breaking mid-job. Obviously, this had to be handled quickly and efficiently. The chief and Chiefess ordered that new and improved tools be made taking the lessons from this generation of simple tools to make the next more reliable, longer-lasting, and better overall.

> 40 Bunnies Expand the great Warren to accommodate for the tribe's ever-growing size. Be fruitful and multiply these are the words of verameeka, and the creed of Lagomorphkind, with only two years, passed since the last Warren expansion an outsider might think that the bunnies of the tribe might ask themselves if perhaps, they should slow down? However, they would be wrong as such an idea never crossed their fluffy little heads, in lagolandia, the kits must grow. Armed with the new tools provided by the sweat of the skilled craftsbunnies, the mated leaders approved yet another expansion to the great warrens many dens, burrows, and gathering places, truly it was becoming a grand city befitting of its name.

>30 Bunnies build Crafting burrows, with the near-constant need to create new and better tools at higher rates every year it was becoming obvious that the skilled crafts bunnies of the Warren needed a dedicated space for them to work and build. A sentiment the mated rules of the tribe agreed with when skilled bucks and does of the warren brought forward the idea.
(Basically, I am building workshops for skilled crafting, with the idea this will stretch out how long the tool buff lasts before reaching the population threshold, as well as further improve the efficiency of tools since they are being made in a workshop which means improves standards and quality.)

>15 Bunnies scout lands east now named Hoppsland as a gift and honor to the chieftess from the chief to celebrate their 21 litter of kits. 6 years of joint rule had turned her from a lithe doe of war to a thicc MILF with curves that belie the muscle and strength hidden just beneath the surface.

>15 Bunnies head east to begin attempting to domesticate the herd of aurochs, wild bulls, and cows, that dwell in those forested planes.

>10 bunnies learn the half-elf language from the small party of half-elves living in lagolandia right now.

>4 Bunnies begin looking into what has caused 30 of the tribe’s bunnies to be unable to work if it is a sickness or bad spirits, every bunny is needed, every bunny must work, and if something is beginning to sweep through the warren it needs to end before it can truly begin.

The calamitous defeat of the enemy army is celebrated by the general population, and much in the way of gluttonous feasting, lustful passion, and greedy claiming of the spoils of war is taken. The strange weapons that the attackers had would swiftly prove to be claimed by the greedy and soon would give merit to the methods of those halfdemons trying to make the copper found bend and mold into the form they so desired. As such, work on Metallurgy would continue as would that of tanning which by the end of the year saw a good deal of progress. Of course, now that the threat of an invasion if severely blunted, work would start on making life just that bit easier. A proper place to store the various tools for farming and the seeds of crops, along with better maintained fields would prove useful in the creation of a proper farm. Further, work would similarly start on a lumberyard and quarry to allow easier access to stone and wood. Of course, with the current tools available to the half demons, work on both would be a bit crude but likely sooner rather than later work on better tools would only further increase the quality and amount these places produced, alongside more importantly the comfort and beauty all buildings in the town of Tylisseutherna. Further, the new prisoners would be for the most part put to work to gather copper and amber for the settlement, and they would be guarded by fifteen of those who so easily and wrathfully smashed through their lines of lightly armored soldiers. For if there was one thing the Afanistís were good at it was dealing devastating blows to lightly or unarmored infantry. A few others were given the misfortune of being interrogated for their knowledge on the strange weapons and the location of their homes, alongside the reason for their strike. There was obviously a presumption behind their assault but confirmation would be best to have, and perhaps more information onto the nature of any further forces if they exist would come into being. On a related note, a number of Halfdemons would look around to try and discern any noteworthy plants, locations, animals or similar in the nearby area, and a smaller group would search for any other valuable materials, if any existed. While a chosen few tried to examine the blade and any reason behind it's pointing, a few attempting to utilize rituals to see as to why the blade pointed where it was. Perhaps exploration to the north where they once migrated from would begin sooner rather than later?

Regardless, now that such a glorious victory had been achived, and peaceful matters could be focused upon once more, the people of Daíona were likely in for continued prosperity.

Basically, agriculture is usually worked by the hidden part of your population. However, if you allocate additional workers from your worker pool (the ones you assign to projects every turn) to agriculture, this provides a bonus to pop growth. The number you need to allocate to gain the bonus scales with your population at a rate of 10 for every 100 population. So, e.g. you have 250 population and want to get the +0.05 growth bonus. You then assign 30 workers (since you're aiming for 300 population) to work the fields and get the bonus. Same for fishing. Fruit groves require 5 workers per 100 since these are largely self-sufficient.

These numbers can be reduced by researching agriculture, building infrastructure such as aqueducts, producing equipment (tools) for your workers, etc., like with copper tools for Thesalonians.

We came so close to annihilation. We fortified our village, we trained our magic, we improved our golems. We knew when exactly and from where they would come. And it was very nearly not enough. One lucky shot. One bone spear through your father's heart. Our defense almost crumbled when our people saw their commander die. We would have lost everything if not for Devon, a Battle Mage in-training, barely a teenager, who rallied them and lead us to victory. But... that's not important now.

He's dead. I can hardly believe it. One last cruel surprise, a reminder that for all I see, I still don't see everything. I named the island's sole mountain Ákros in his memory. I wonder, what will you think when you gaze upon something that shares your father's name? Will you hate us, for leaving you alone? Will I see him again and watch over you from above? I was certain of my path for most of my life, but I find myself with nothing but questions in my last days.

My daughter, I know you will have questions of your own when you find this diary. I hope reading it can answer some of them. I know you will lead our people to greatness one day. You will save many lives, perhaps the world itself. I wish I could see you grow up with my own eyes, hold you for more than a brief moment, but..

I love you. Never forget that.

-Last entry in the personal diary of Mantó, posthumously proclaimed the first Queen of Zésh

It has been a hard year. This last day of the year was supposed to be a happy one. This birth should have been a wondrous occasion to celebrate and put the hardships behind us. But our leader did not survive the birth of her daughter. She appointed myself, Bardenar and Malkiel to lead Zesh in her absence. She asked to be buried next to her husband on the slopes of Mount Akros. And with her last breath she named her daughter Stella and I didn't realize how fitting it was until later. A Red Star was seen on the sky tonight. I do not know if it is a good or a bad omen, but it is certainly an omen of greatness.

We three are still discussing what to do in. In the meantime, we have resolved to treat the fishmen better than they would have treated us, show them a better way. And we will continue the projects that Manto began until we come to a decision.

Now how do we break the news to the people of Zesh?

The batmen start scouting your territory and attacking some of the patrols. No casualties so far, but their aggression will probably grow unless kept in check.
Maul Shaper, now possessing greater understanding of wood, proposes constructing a battery of rapid-firing anti-air machines to shoot the flying devils down. However, this would use up the wood stockpile you've gathered.

You should dedicate more yetis to fishing if you want to get the bonus to pop growth. e.g. if you have 230 yetis but you're aiming for 300, you allocate 30.
[The treeplanters report that the trees will be ready to be cut down next year. Moreover, in the time that the trees were growing, they kept gradually planting new saplings, so you should have a steady supply of lumber so long as you keep tending to the mini-forest.]
[Over the year, yetis prepare for war. Slings are made out of bushes, ammunition and bolas out of stone byproducts in iron mining. You should now have enough to arm up to 600 yetis. Bolas provide +10 bonus in combat, slings +5.]
[After mining for a year, a stockpile of iron forms. It'll be a while until you research metallurgy and start smelting it though.]
[Several yetis begin experimenting with the iron stockpile, heating it up, trying to mold it into useful shape by hitting it. It'll take some years until a method to this craft forms. 1/3 metallurgy research.]
[The humans agree to your proposal. They teach the yetis how to make harpoons -- throwing spears tipped with jagged heads. An effective weapon both for whale hunting and tearing horrible wounds in your enemies' flesh. The slingmakers teach humans how to make slings in exchange. Something could form out of this...] [You can allocate some yetis to research how to combine slings and spears.]

[The canoe fleet is built. Due to its relative simplicity of construction, it didn't require shipbuilding wood.]
>73, 35
Sailing out on the newly-built canoes, the scouts explore the smaller islands. They return with mixed results. The first party, investigating the larger island, reports that it has outcroppings of salt crystals. If gathered, these could be traded for shipbuilding wood with the merchants. The second party finds a ghost city, with great buildings, yet empty for some reason. The place has an eerie aura about it...
>1 - CRITICAL FAILURE
The priests attempting to practice blood magic fail again. Not only did they fumble in the ritual itself, their lives were claimed by an accidentally summoned being of stellar ancestry. Molding into a horrific blob of flesh, the horror from beyond the stars escaped and now stalks your home island! People fear for their lives...
>95
The-One-Who-Leaps is yet to return...
[It'll take about two years for the fish to multiply enough to provide a proper addition to the Kugel diet.]
[You have dug out a sacrificial pit.]
As the amazons are put to hard labour in the name of foreign gods, 4 of them commit suicide by drowning themselves in the swampland they were ordered to turn into the lodge.
With the population growing, the simple weapons you've equipped your people with are not enough. More need to be made if you are to still receive a bonus in combat.

SOFTPAW
[The gods are watching as you tend the Shrine... 3/4 Gods' Blessing.]
>41
The Sacred Spring experimentation proceeds slowly. Over the year, the springworkers tried applying it to wounds, splashing themselves with holy water, dipping weapons and tools in it, but nothing quite works. However, there are some strange effects from it being ingested, mainly concerning water manipulation. The catfolk who have been tending to the spring are confident that they'll find out its secret in the coming year. [1/2 Sacred Spring research] [No roll needed - just assign workers next turn.]
>69
The golems seem at least a bit intelligent, so several catfolk aspiring to magic and your potters return to the clay giants to ask for guidance in golemancy.
"Little ones. We do not know how we were built, but we were not forbidden to allow studying us. So long as you inflict no damage upon our bodies, feel free to investigate what you want." -- such was the reply of golems to your request.
Over the year, the expedition has found strange symbols etched on the golems' bodies. Copying them, however, yielded no results. It would seem you need a kind of core, a source of magical power, either harvested in the wild or created by a mage, to make an animated construct.
[You have constructed fortifications. This will provide a +10 bonus on defence.]

[You have captured a herd of horses. However, taming them proves a difficult task. It'll take 3 years, one of which has passed, for you to train them into subservience.] [1/3 horse domestication.]

QUANLI
[5/7 crab enhancement]
Studying the foreign tools, your toolmakers determine that to craft superior designs, metals, such as iron or copper, are needed, as well as insights into metallurgy. The northern side of the island remains to be explored -- with luck, something can be found there.
In the mean time, they replicate what they found with obsidian.
[You have armed your workers with obsidian tools. It now takes:
8 instead of 10 per 100 population to work the fruit groves,
16 instead of 20 to keep watch and enhance the crabs,
6 instead of 10 per 100 population to man the fishing fleet (this is combined with boat enhancements)
16 instead of 20 to extract considerable amounts of stone and obsidian from the quarry
until 500 population]
[The foundation is laid, but it'll take 2 more years to construct aqueducts and irrigation systems. Not only that, it will require a dedicated corps of masons educated in workshops to finish the construction.]
[The year is spent disciplining the pirates. At first, they carry themselves with a considerable amount of chutzpah, but once they are poked a bit with spears they tend to quickly get to work. They should be ready to start the plantation now.]
[Over the year, the scouts keep watch near the cove as the pirate ships sail in and out. They determine that your valiant defence and taking of the pirate ship has put a dent in their overall power, they seem to have had 3 galley midships in total, one of which is now yours. There should be about 200 of them left.]
[With growing population, you no longer have enough weapons and armour to arm every one of your people, and youngbloods have not received the training that some of the older Quanli did. Time has come for a military expansion.]
You have 243 Quanli and 50 human slaves.

TRUE OASIS
How do satyrs increase in number if there are no women among them?
[4/7 land improvement]
[Tying together heaps of reeds for the roof and cutting down some old, less useful trees around the oasis, you construct a simple inn. The camel wool is sheared and spun into threads in the workshop, eventually made into pillows and bedsheets.]
[A workshop is built for experimentation with both cocoa beans and glass smelting.]
[By the end of the year, the more innovative satyrs determine that heating ground cocoa beans with water produces a bitter, but stimulating drink -- hot coco. Chocolate remains out of your grasp, for now. Another experiment is adding camel milk to hot coco, this gives the beverage a softer, less bitter taste.]
[You start investigating how to form glass. The bedouins told you something about heating sand, but the melting point and techniques for its manipulation are unknown.] [1/3 glassworking research]
I forgot about the camels. You have them, too.
[The bedouin caravans share the techniques for getting dairy products made from camel milk. You get an industry underway.]
[You try to construct a distillery, but due to your extensive building, there is not enough wood around the oasis, and you can't just start cutting down date trees since they make up the majority of your peoples' diet. It will take 2 years for the trees to grow back for another building surge.]
[Due to improvements in quality of life with the introduction of hot coco and dairy products, which can also be exchanged for various luxury items such as dyes, spices, and noble metals with the bedouins, the mood among the satyrs is at an all-time high. You receive an additional +0.05 to pop growth, as well as less satyrs required for maintaining wine & other industries.]
[Obtaining musical instruments from the bedouins, several satyrs become professional musicians. Others mingle with the travelling merchants, becoming hosts as your desert friends stop increasingly often at the inn.]
You have 222 satyrs.
30 satyrs are professional entertainers & hosts.

AKASTROS
[Masons, Architects and Woodcutters begin their training. They should be ready to provide their expertise in about a year.]
>1
The punitive raid against the barbarians goes horribly wrong somewhere along the way. Your men depart into the forest in orderly columns, led by the most qualified officers -- the Young Aruks --, but never return. Perhaps they got themselves into an ambush set up by the barbarians?
Your people start experimenting with various materials that can be used for weaponry and armour. Merchants bring tales of bone weaponry, some ships from distant lands manned by lizardmen bring brittle obsidian, but most of all are valued weapons made of metals such as iron, bronze and the like. Now, if only you could trade something for these metals... Some of the pasha's advisors recommend prospecting around the village for tradeable goods. While you wait, the restless armourers make some makeshift armour out of wood.
[You have armed your men with wooden armour. This will provide +5 bonus in combat.]
[The fortifications and stockade are reinforced and expanded over the year with the addition of more cheval de frise, the thickening of the wall, and construction of more watchtowers. The fortifications now provide +20 on defence.]
[The Young Aruks that went AWOL return, Usman at their head! They tell of Lagolandia -- land of lagomorphs, and claim to have decoded their language. Formal diplomacy between your states can now be carried out.]
[With the return of Young Aruks, the military school now works in full force. Merchants spread these news far, and soon enough you have several foreigners educated in exchange for a fee. This could be used to purchase the metals for further experimentation by your armourers and weaponsmiths.]
Keep in mind you need to allocate a portion of your population to farming to keep getting the pop growth bonus.
You have 170 Akastrians.
30 Akastrians are Young Aruks.
13 Akastrians are sailors.

LAGOLANDIA
[The wolves have fully grown, now tamed. There are 40 of them.]
[The woodsrabbits' and herbalists' education is finished. You now have a corps of 20 each of great hunters-trackers and herbalist doctors, or even poisoners.]
[The agricultural research progresses further. Various substances are tested to determine whether they're good fertilizers or not, and for which plants specifically. 2/3 agriculture research.]
[5/6 tactics research.]
More tools are made over the year from makeshift materials, but you should find stone, or, ideally, metals if you are to build truly durable and effective tools.
[Simple tools now last until 1200 population.]
[The Great Warren is expanded to more than double the previous size. An entire field is now riddled with burrows. This will provide a bonus to pop growth until 1000.]
[The Crafting Burrows are built, mud and dirt huts with various tools and contraptions for all kinds of crafts. Specialist craftsmen may be trained here.]
>59 + plot
[The rabbits find an outcropping of high-quality stone. This could be used for both better-quality tools and as a building material. In the distance, the scouts report spotting a great tower with an eerie light at the top. They also had a distinct feeling of being watched until they entered the lagomorphs' territory.]
[The half-elf language is translated. The half-elves themselves have departed, but during your limited communication, you found out the location of their state -- Akastros. You can now engage in diplomacy with them.]
>90
There is no illness that has stricken down rabbits -- quite simply, they have become sex addicts, lazing around the shrine to Verameeka and the breeding dens instead of working. They claim they're fulfilling the ancient rabbit tradition of unlimited procreation, so cannot be judged. What's worse, their way of life is spreading, since the hard-working rabbits see their less diligent brothers and decide that their work is not worth the effort! You have a crisis on your hands.
You have 410 lagomorphs now.
20 lagomorphs are woodsrabbits.
20 lagomorphs are herbalists.

DAÍONA TRIBES
[With tanning research finished, your tanners gain understanding of the production process for two types of leather: buckskin and boiled. The former can be used for durable and warm clothing, the latter for production of armour.]
[The halfdemons working on metallurgy understand that heated metals may be shaped more easily, they are now trying to build kilns in which temperatures required to melt them can be achieved. 2/3 metallurgy research.]
[A farm is built. With proper infrastructure, it takes 1 less worker per 100 population to keep the growth rate bonus.]
[You have constructed a lumberyard. Here, woodworkers may be trained and wood more efficiently gathered and transformed into useful shapes.]
[To construct a quarry, you must first find deposits of stone, or gain access to highlands or mountains. Your most daring scouts report that deeper inland, a mountain range can be found, but you'd need to construct an outpost there to begin harvesting it.]
Hunters supply the tribe with meat, as usual, but also start bringing in almost undamaged leather and musk -- a substance with a strong smell. More greedy and prideful halfdemons immediately adopt the substance, using it as perfume to denote their high status. Overall, a kind of social hierarchy starts forming, with "noble" halfdemons overseeing workers and warriors.
[With a supply of musk, the quality of life increases. All maintenance tasks require 10% less workers per 100 population.]
[A steady supply of copper and amber comes from the slaves' labour.]
The interrogated slaves are reluctant to speak at first, but torture by wrathful halfdemons opens their mouths. They tell that they come from the north, from the kingdom of Lumesthan. You recognize the name -- before your great migration south, they were among your most dangerous enemies. It seems they found out about your new location and decided to root out the utterly evil (in their view) demonic corruption.
The slaves interrogated about the bronze weapons aren't very helpful. It seems they were armed with them, but not told the method of their production. The most they reveal is that the arms are made of an alloy of copper and something else.
>10
Since the north is populated by enemies and the east has already been dedicated to copper mining, the scouts head south. They find that woods there turn to coniferous ones. Near the shore, to the south of a great river, there is a lone monastery. The monks there, upon closer observation, are training in martial arts. The woods they dwell in are determined to be good for both shipbuilding and crafting of weapons, which the monks do extensively. They seem to have spotted the halfdemons and tried to attack your scouts. Luckily, your explorers escaped with no casualties.

The blade seems to make sounds once in a while. Putting it in relatively sound-isolated place, a house with thick walls, the halfdemons investigating it listen. It subtly, very silently says: "Mávithanátoslepdas, come to me... Free me...".

60 halfdemons are Afanistis.
30 halfdemons are hunters.

ZÉSH
The Tower construction continues. The foundation stage is complete, however, latter stages require good stone and dedicated masons...
Over the year, your garrison keeps the fishmen in check. They also try and understand their language and discern the reason for their aggression. Closer to the end of the year, when their words are finally understood, one of the fishmen noble-warriors explains that "white-skins come to Muujen in the past. Talk to us. Promise trade. Promise friendship. Then betray Vur! Take Muujen for themselves. Take us slaves! We rebel, and attack any white-skins. You, different white-skins. Not enslave us. Vur confused. Future will show, white skins trusted or not."
>91 + 10 (scrying)
With caves in the south explored, containing only the chained cyclops, it is time for the northern ones to be scouted. Over the year, several of your people descend and investigate the underground tunnels. They find what they're looking for -- magical crystal growths. These attract the magical currents flowing throughout the world around themselves. These could be made into golem cores for more complex golems, ground into magic-enhancing inhaling powder, or for other, more specialised uses.
[You have expanded your village. It may now accomodate up to 600 people.]
[A quarry is built. Considerable amounts of stone can be extracted here, useful for both Tower of the Arcane and other construction projects.]
[Trading fruit for tools, by the end of the year you build up a moderate stockpile for all kinds of workers. These are good quality, too -- iron and bronze ones. It now takes 20% less workforce to perform maintenance tasks.]
The merchants tell you that on the southwestern reaches of the Sea of Karlan, there is an island with the city-state of Anom on it. It is a the greatest trade and maritime power of the area. The eastern shores are sparsely populated, with an assortment of rare tribes harvesting what they can from the land and exchanging it with traders for more useful items. To the northeast, there are two smaller islands which are little-explored.
[It'll take a couple years, one which has passed, to expand the orchards. They'll also require more maintenance once it is done.]
[The golem numbers are increased, both those meant for war and dedicated to peaceful tasks.]
You have 229 humans and elves, 110 fishmen and 63 golems.

Warrior Ants vs Wasps
>71 + 5 (javelins) = 76 vs 80 = 60 + 10 (numbers) + 10 (flying advantage)
In spite of your valiant efforts, Ant Princes in particular felling several dozen foes, the battle is a loss for Ants, with 70 casualties. However, a dent has been made in the Wasps' numbers. More than that, the Wasps send a messenger. They tell that while initially they judged you to be simply food for the swarm, they recognize your strength now. They propose a division of territory between your two nests.

[It takes an entire year for the scouts to make the trip there and back, but they bring news of farmland devastated by hordes of undead, now populated only by supply-starved armies of Antellim and its allies keeping watch on the eastern borders.]
[Over the year, the cynocephales set up outposts to the north and west, expanding the reach of Thesalon. They indeed find shipbuilding wood in the west and begin supplying it to the metropole. The new towns set up free housing for settlers. The pop growth bonus now applies until 800 population.]
[By the end of the year, the shipwrights manage to construct 3 galley smallships, which need to be manned by a crew of 30 to operate.]

[Increasing the area covered by the scholars' hut and setting up gradually ascending sitting benches and study desks around a central stage, you provide a place for elders to impart their knowledge into aspiring scholars.]
[A craftsman's hut is built. Various types of craftsmen can be trained here.]
[While 30 original blacksmiths have finished their training, 20 new ones are introduced as their apprentices. 1/2 20 blacksmith training.]
[The blacksmiths, now with a considerable amount of experience, start experimenting with methods with which steel is made. They already know the basic principle of this alloy's smelting -- that coal needs to be added -- but how much exactly for mild steel is not yet known. It'll take 2 more years for the experiments to give fruit and form into methods. 1/3 types of steel production research.]
[10 acolytes are trained over the year by the elders. They learn basic ways of communication with spirits and how to soothe their anger. Proper magic, however, remains out of their grasp.]
[With food gathered, plates and tableware crafted in a newly-constructed hut and a clearing found, everything seems set up for a feast.]
>79
The scouts return. Besides stumbling upon the already-found Asp Dungeon, they report finding a variety of medicinal & poisonous herbs, as well as trees with aromatic resin. If an outpost is set up here, these could be harvested for trade and other applications.
New trees are included in the citadel, new places of ambush and traps set up. [The citadel will now provide a +20 bonus on defence.]

If you find any mistakes in either posts or stat lists, kick me either here or on the discord and I'll fix them.
Another announcement: exploration has been changed, now low rolls = something bad/scarce resources, high roll = great amount of resources/something good. There's also a plot slowly forming in my head for each civ, so these may be modified due to that.
Finally, I am considering introducing automatic maintenance if you anons want it. What this means is, you point out what you want to maintain, e.g. allocate x amount of workers to a mine permanently, and when I write posts I just write down something like
"You have 100 fishmen. 20 are busy doing maintenance, leaving you with 80 to allocate to different projects."
This way we could cut down on actions repeating every turn or things like housing expansion which occurs once in some years.

Yep, nice work QM. I'm essentially doing automatic maintenance already, so I'm all in favour of that system. And a plot for each civ? Awesome! That's what's better about a civ quest with an actual QM over a civ computer game.

Also, the pastebin doesn't have the correct number of fishmen/Vur. It should be 110, right?

Division of Territory may be acceptable however, ants demand more. Ants also respect strength, and as a fellow insectoid race, the Ants push for a formal alliance between the two empires, to form a greater Union of Insects. From experience, two ant empires in close proximity may inevitably go to war unless there is unity of accord. The ants propose that with Ant resources, and Wasp warrior culture, both may benefit greatly. Ant Princes are eager to train among the deadly wasp warriors also.

>25 Princesses train in the art of diplomacy. Like all ants, they are genetically bred for loyalty to the current reigning Queen. They become skilled in both the verbal arts, as well as the release of communication pheromones for speedier communication with large numbers of ants or with insectoid races that we do not know how to speak with. They are set to help smooth relations with the wasps. One day should the Queen ever perish of old age, she releases her death pheromones, and the eldest and healthiest among them will become Queen. no politics will be involved, simply all the princesses gather and the most suitable among them will automatically release the pheromones of new queen type and their thorax and appetite will grow in great size. the other princesses continue their duty, albeit as duchesses as new princesses will be made by the new queen

Fuck, why are we here in this godforsaken dump, babysitting these smelly fishmen? And now we send them gifts? We want to better their lives after they just killed two dozens of our friends for no reason? What the fuck? Why are we even listening to these old coots?

Yes, yes, I know SHE appointed them but they're not her. And could she even really see the future?

Look man, I know she saved you from slavers. I'm just saying. We all saw how devastated she was when Commander Akros died. Didn't she see that coming? Or did she just... let him die? And that baby. She might grow up to be a tyrant or a fool for all we know!

Haha, very funny. No, you're a fool if you don't see whats' right in front of you.

What I suggest? Commander Devon has the right idea. He's just a brat, but a brat with a good head on his shoulders. Learn what we can from them and then put them to their place. The strong win and the weak suffer, that's the law of the world.

-overheard late night talk among a Battle Mage patrol


Our people are still uneasy, but morale is improving. The fishmen - or Vur as they call themselves - are not hateful demons but a race who was hurt and sought to avoid getting hurt again. We will earn their trust, it's just a matter of time.

At last, we three have come to an agreement as to how to divide our tasks. How Galyr can be so easily distracted despite having such a single-track mind I will never understand. And Bardenar, that idiot, would turn us into a nation of builders for his grand projects if we let him. Patience. Patience is key, I keep telling him.

We have unanimously decided to seal the Cyclopes cave. Nothing good can come out of interacting with them. It wouldn't stop a dedicated Earth mage from sneaking in, but who would want to do such a thing?

Another fine year with dedication and perseverance paying off. The Gods have shown us favor, even if reserved, in many ways. Those tending the Shrine and studying the Sacred Spring feel confident the Gods will smile upon us soon. How, we do not know, but we shall continue to keep the faith.

The Exploration expedition returned safely with knowledge. Not enough for us to craft Golems, but a better understanding of Golemancy and with luck, the remaining secrets will be revealed eventually. They were allowed to study the Great Gardens Golems and returned with that knowledge intact. Still a resounding success in a world filled with dangers. The potters who went on the expedition have been instructed to craft a perfect replica of a Golem, so that all may see and marvel. Perhaps with time we will discover the missing secrets.

We were able to capture a herd of horses - large beautiful beasts of burden filled with strength and resolve. It will take some time to tame them, and already there are catfolk earning their trust and working with them daily. I am told in a few years. We will learn how to live with them and hopefully they will learn to live with us. All in good time.

The barbarians to the SouthEast still exist and still are a threat to our safety. We are not in a position yet to survive their attack and will continue to train. Defenses were constructed and our Warriors will spend more time training and improving. Some Elite Warriors have asked to break off and spend time studying advanced Tactics, so that our standing army fights better and with more precision. I have allowed their request and am sure with time they will return to train the others. It is only a matter of time until their gaze is in our direction, and with Luck and the Gods Favor we will be ready.

Name: Lelotl
Race: Salamander(amphibian) people
Colour: Lavender/pale purple
Fluff: In the middle of a storm and monster plagued swamp there is a lake. At the bottom of that lake, there lays the city of Lelotl, where the eternally youthful Axolotls rule the Salamander race. Between their immortality and regenerative abilities that put other salamanders to shame, the fully aquatic nobility of Lelotl rule with an iron fist. Their queen, having as many centuries as she appears to have years, hopes to expand her kingdom to encompass the swamp, and perhaps, all the waters of the world.

Total: 243 Quanli (30 Shipwrights), 50 Human Slaves

20 Quanli will maintain their tireless watch over our herds of Crabs.

20 Quanli will keep nurturing and tending to the fruit tree groves.

20 Quanli will man our fishing fleet and fish the waters around our island - if this is too many, some will also look for other good fishing spots.

20 Quanli will continue their work in our quarry, bringing up stone and obsidian.

20 Quanli (including 10 of the shipwrights, as their crafting skills might be useful in hut-building even if not in their specialist field) will set to work constructing workshops so that we might train specialists.

30 Quanli (including another 10 of the shipwrights, as they know what woods work best and we will need most in the future) will set to work establishing a plantation of lumber-trees a little higher up the slope - the forests might seem endless right now, but we must be secure for the future of our fleets.

The 10 Quanli Shipwrights remaining will spend the year doing repairs and maintenance to our fleets as needed.

10 Quanli and the 50 Human slaves will set to work making that sugar plantation.

The 4 Quanli scouts will maintain their watch upon the pirates, so that we might be alerted and forewarned if they come for us again.

9 Quanli will experiment with spices - 4 with seeing if any of the ones that came in seed form will grow in our climate, digging a few small gardens to try growing them, or to test if any local plants would have similar effects; and 5 Quanli will test our purchased spices out to see if they can be worked into our cuisine - would they go with fish, fruit, crab?

20 Quanli will get to work making more Obsidian weapons and crabshell armour for the tribe.

And 50 Quanli, under the supervision of 10 of the Oldbloods (so 60 in total) will undergo a full year of training as warriors. We shall not let our marital traditions dry up!

Also, over the past few years our settlement has slowly acquired the name of 'Quanval', now this is finally made official.

The Kugel-Globo are in a time of crisis. They foolishly ventured into the realm of the gods, trying to harness the power of flesh and sacrifice and they were punished for it. 10 holy men are dead and an unholy being stalks the island, a punishment from the gods.

To appease the gods their must be sacrifice, and struggle.

5 Amazonian slave's hands are bound behind their back and they are tossed into the pit. The priests then start doing loud mournful croaks begging for the gods as the amazonian slaves are stoned. After the sacrifice the priests will carefully descend into the pit and pick out the rock that is stained red the most. That rock is blessed by the gods and will be fashioned into a spear to slay the Horror-Beyond-The-Stars and given to a suitable warrior.

It would have been The-One-Who-Leaps who wields the holy weapon but he is yet to return...

>5 Amazonian Slaves are sacrificed to create a holy weapon to kill the Horror-Beyond-The-Stars.

>20 Amazons and 15 Kugel Warriors are sent to slay the horror

>5 Amazonian slaves and 28 Kugel are sent to collect Salt crystals

>15 Kugel Warriors and 14 regular Kugel with one priest are sent to explore the ghost town

I've left something rather vital out of the fluff by mistake. In the world of the salamanders, everything noble, prosperous and safe is at the bottom of the lake, everything vulgar, poor and dangerous is on the surface. As such, "above", "high", and "top" are considered disadvantaged, while "beneath", "low", and "bottom" are considered advantaged. Thus "low blood", here, refers to the Axolotls and the most trusted Salamander families. Sorry for the confusion.

>How do satyrs increase in number if there are no women among them?
Well you see unlike what ever you heard on Earth satyrs on Geomap.png If this planet does have a name that I missed feel free to call me a dumbass are descendants of long-lived nature sprits that would simply be born from the woods they call home. However when their ancient ancestors met other races they were shown various new things that the sprits, who could survive by simply absorbing natures energies, had never seen before like wine & music coming from instruments & sex not just for reproduction but for pleasure. Most sprits saw these as novel indulging occasionally but the satyrs progenitor found great joy from these acts. Unfortunately the body of a sprit is not suited for these act and so the progenitor used all his might and split himself into many lesser forms, that are now known as satyrs. Satyrs have lost much of the powers originally had by their "father" but as kin to nature sprits they still possess some traits such as slight magical powers and the ability to be born from the land, though they greatly prefer other methods.

tl;dr Nature sprit nonsense

While the news of the kingdom that bothered the slowly forming city state back in it's tribal days many times before had found them was bothersome at best, that the south had enemies as well in the form of strange monks made it clear that they were surrounded on all sides. As such, construction on further defensive structures to add to the city states protection would be done. Mainly this would be in the form of a defensive ditch and a number of raised earthworks, alongside a few watchtowers to give those guarding the settlement a greater view of afar, and much of the leather gathered would be turned into armor while the Afanistis worked on methods of defeating any enemy that came after them in an effective manner, mainly through mock battles and recalling what worked during their defense. The sword and the call from it's owner meanwhile would be ignored, for now at least. There was no way they could get to the north without a fight they would lose. But that would change in time. Meanwhile, a strange number of halfdemons tied to envy would try and usurp those of gluttony by searching for various plants that had use not as food but as a cure for various ailments. This was partially due to some of their own having gotten ill, and partially due to the simple fact that it would actually get them some recognition. Those strong with gluttony ignored and dismissed this, simply continuing to expand their farms with greater irrigation, using what nearby rivers and brooks there were to aid their crops by digging small ditches that the water would flow into to help keep the crops well cared for. Meanwhile a few halfdemons of lust and pride worked on trying to put words to stone and wood. A method by which stories and words could be conveyed without speech. Lastly, a few utilized what amber was there to work on more jewelry and a number more worked furthering their skill with lumber and woodworking.

>Use 70 bunnies to try to counteract the false doctrine of the coomer bunnies making them see their actions go against the word of Verameeka using a religious solution to end the crisis

The shaman of Veerameka teaches that she is the mother of bunnykind, and goddess of fertility. By her nature she is a being who relishes pleasure and encourages her followers to revel in it as well; however, she would never be so hedonistic as to endanger her children, because while she is a Goddess of fertility, she is also the protector, and mother of lagomophkind. We have faith in her that she will keep her covenant and be there when we call out, to answer our prayers in our darkest hour, to do a parent’s duty. And in turn, she trusts that her followers will do the same for their own kits. The shaman, Further teaches that her core tenant is to be fruitful and multiply, however implicit in that order is to ensure your kits that will come up after you can do the same and enjoy the same if not great pleasures you have yourself enjoyed. This is what the coomer bunnies have forgotten, by their hedonistic heretical doctrine they scorn the tribes’ kits. And if allowed to continue down this ruinous path they will condemn the generations that come after to never know the heights of pleasure they enjoy, instead, they are leaving them only an inheritance of ruin and hardship. Indeed, these heretical bunnies need to be made to see the error of their way before it is too late. For with the great heights of pleasure and breeding that verameeka promises us all, so too does it come with even great depths of responsibility and care. Such is the will of Verameeka

>Use 40 bunnies paired with our 40 dire wolves to force the comer bunnies out of the breeding dens and shrine, those who do not work do not eat.

Chieftain Cottentail would not allow all he and his mate had built to fall to ruin, he would not let his kind be overtaken by the subversive and blasphemies teachings of the comer bunnies. At his mate's request, he promised that she and the shamans along with any bunnies that could be spared would be given time to work to counter and undo the damage these comer bunnies have done, to the faith and themselves by embracing such false teachings. Which he would honor, but once their time was up any who still clung to their false teachings would be forced out of the breeding dens and the shrine of their Goddess and made to work like everybunny else. For while Peter was strong in his faith, he was also the chief and he had to put the tribe first. It was with this in mind when he told his 40 trusted bunnies what they would need to do and said “those who do not work do not eat” if his mate the chieftess was unable to sway them with the true teaching of the faith, then he would correct them through force of arms.

>Use 10 bunnies to build an orchard to start benefiting from fruit we have naturally growing around Lagolandia

While the chief and chieftess were occupied with their joint plan for how to deal with the crisis, along with the bulk of the tribe, the mundane working of the tribe still needed to be done. A small skeleton crew of bunnies wanted to begin growing and harvesting fruits in an orchard, like the farms, to help the tribe and increase their prosperity and abundance. Even in crisis, it is important to continue to believe in a bright future, at least that is what the head bunny of the orchard project says.

>10 bunnies and 5 woodsrabbits to Claim the stone resources to the east and build a quarry there

Stone is an incredible resource to further develop the tribe and its people. This is why an expedition of 15 bunnies embark on a journey to build a quarry at the stone deposit in the east as well as a path to and from the quarry providing a safe means of travel to it from the great warren. Most of the expedition would work on establishing the quarry while the skilled woodsrabbits would go about the task of marking the best path to and from the quarry. With high hopes and high spirits, they depart for the east, in the name of Lagomophkind.

>15 herbalists to find and collect herbs and plants that can be used for medicinal purposes

Educated and armed with theory the new herbalists of the tribe are eager and determined to put what they have learned to work for the betterment of the tribe. As a group, it was decided that the best way to do so would be to gather, grow, and discover new herbs and plants to heal and treat the sick. 15 herbalists would set to this task searching first the local lands for known herbs and plants to gather into a medicinal garden, then later further out in the lands still wild and unknown to them.

>5 Herbalists to act as healers for the tribe tending to the sick and injured, I would like to make this a repeating action

While the bulk of the herbalists of the tribe is on their mission to find new healing herbs and plants, a small few volunteers to remain in the Great warren using their wisdom and herbs, to heal the wounded and tend to the sick, deciding themselves as Bunnies of mercy, putting the tribe and patents first. (call them mercibun for singular and mercibuns for pural)

>15 bunnies build a tannery burrow so that we can begin to make armors and clothes from the leather our hunters are gathering from their kills

To make use of the growing stores of leather a group of bunnies set about the work of building a tannery burrow. They see all the leather that is just gathering dust and know that so much more can be done with it, or at least if their ideas pan out. They see all the possibilities that the leather has, it can be made into clothes and armor to better protect the tribe. But only if they take the time to build the means to use it, which they had decided to do.

> 13 bunnies train in the crafting burrow to become full craftsrabbit specialists.
While the average bunny can do any job given enough time to learn who to, but as the tribe grows and builds become more complex the need for specialized workers grow, and these first baker's dozen will be the foundation brain trust on which more craftsrabbits will be made.

QM hey you missed one of my actions from the last turn in the discord you said for me to just put a reminder in my next post this is that. I Domesticate the wild cattle to the east. Below is the action verbatim

GREKLATINI
You sacrifice several deer to Bombabus, and he answers, granting your warriors strength and endurance.
[In the coming battle, you receive +15 to your roll.]
The yetis searching for a place to ambush the coming army come to the whaler people for advice. They find out that there is a pass between the Flantic Wyns and the yet-unnamed mountains -- one of the rare places in the flat tundra where an ambush may be set up. When the warlord arrives, your warriors will be ready.
[You arm your yetis with clubs. This will provide +5 bonus in combat.]
[Over the months leading up to the battle, your people undergo a specialised training course with bolas, slings and clubs. You get 43/44 of bola-yetis, sling-yetis and club-yeti warriors which will receive a +7 bonus in combat.]
At last, your scouts report sighting the warlords' army. Messengers arrive to both your and the whalers' tribe, delivering an ultimatum to either join the warhost or be forced into slavery. You refuse, and march forth along with your human allies to the mountain pass...
Warrior yetis vs Warlord's guard
>88 + 5 (clubs) + 5 (slings) + 10 (bolas) + 8 (leather armour) + 10 (tactical superiority - ambush) + 15 (Bombabus' blessing) + 7 (training) + 10 (stronger) = 158 vs 117 = 69 + 15 (training) + 8 (leather armour) + 15 (bronze weaponry) + 10 (bows)
Militia yetis and whalers vs Warlord's army
>88 + 5 (clubs) + 5 (slings) + 10 (bolas) + 8 (leather armour) + 10 (harpoons) + 10 (tactical superiority - ambush) + 15 (Bombabus' blessing) + 10 (stronger) = 161 vs 87 = 69 + 5 (training) + 5 (slings) + 8 (leather armour)
The battle goes in your favour. Your warriors throw rocks and bolas, stunning the enemy, before finishing the job with clubs. While the warlord's elite warriors are greatly armed, your allies' harpoons impale and twist their guts all the same. At the end of the day, the lesser-trained enemies are routed, and you stand victorious on a frozen field of gore and corpses. Tallying the casualties, you find out that 40 yetis' lives have been taken by the enemy.
You have 248 yetis.
115 yetis are warriors of various specialisations.

The wasps refuse your proposal of a unified empire, however, they accept the offer of maintaining positive relations in the future. They also agree to organize a hunt with the warrior ants. In spite of 10 casualties on your side, it goes splendidly, and several beasts dwelling in the jungle are slain. This strengthens your ties with the wasps somewhat.
[You have established cordial relations with the Wasp Empire.]
With the halfway point to laying down the foundation reached, the ground meant to support The Great Hive is riddled with burrows and holes, but the walls between them are strengthened, compressed by the builders, and carved with simple, yet beautiful engravings. Truly, a magnificent structure it will be.

ZÉSH
The Vur assimilation goes on. They become relatively fluent in your language, no longer speaking in broken, short sentences, but communicating extensively. They are grateful to receive bronze tools and quickly adapt them to their tasks. The fishmen prove, quite ironically, adept fishers, hauling in good catches that last them days. They are also decent shipbuilders as well. The Vur canoes may seem simple at first, but they are extremely maneuverable and fast.
The proposal for wargames is begrudgingly accepted by their elders, but they demand you teach them magic in exchange for their sharing of tactics with you. Over the year, war exercises are held, interspersed with times when the Vur share their expertise of guerilla warfare, which they learned back when the fishmen had to fight for their freedom. Things are not going completely smoothly, however. Some of the battle mages "accidentally" injure fishmen over the year that wargames are practiced. Some enmity is born between the garrison and the villagers of Yuki, how they call their settlement.
[2/6 tactics research]
[A lumberyard is built. Here, woodworkers may be trained and their craft practiced.]
[While more fruit comes from expanded orchards, more maintenance is needed, which is done by a joint operation of golems and fishmen, to whom a portion of the harvest goes.]

The mages try all year, yet fail in divining the location of Circles of Power.
[The aspiring masons experiment both in using their magical power and more commong methods to shape stone into useful forms. A harbour is constructed, where ships may be assembled. Many homes are reinforced with stone, mostly those of higher-ranked Zeshians.] [1/2 mason training]
>34
The magic crystals remain an enigma. Shaping golems around them seems to only disturb their function, and inhaling ground crystal powder seems to induce delirium, which makes the seemingly improved magical abilities useless.
The stone golems are initially falling apart, but with some experimentation, their creation process is refined and by the end of the year, you gain the ability to craft sturdier, heavier golems.
The traders accept your request, allowing a dozen of water mages on board, so long as they assist in boosting the ship's speed. They tell you that simple stone and wood are not desirable goods, but exotic variants, such as marble or granite for stone and shipbuilding or hardwood for wood, are prized among traders. You, however, have neither.

Branches are sharpened and turned into ammunition for these, assembled into clips of five for the promised rapid fire. Animal, mostly snake, innards are used as flexible rope with which the projectiles are hauled towards the enemies.
[You have assembled a battery of anti-air machines. This will provide a +20 bonus against aerial enemies.]
[Their expertise already extensive, the masons with Stone Setter start deepening their knowledge in how stone may be shaped into useful forms.] [1/2 mason education]

The raids against the batmen are a success. Thrown bolas pull them to the ground, where clubs and mauls finish the job. You manage to thin out the numbers of your enemies, but now they move in larger groups. If you wish to confront them now, a full battle is inevitable.
The great tournaments goes... great. Mighty warriors showcase their strength and mastery of weapons, however simple clubs may be, and the younger and weaker fighters learn a thing or two from the more experienced ones. A champion emerges at the end, beating even Roc Feller herself. Cliff Breaker is his name.
[Due to the tournament, trolls increase their mastery of weapons. +5 bonus in combat. Moreover, due to entertainment, the popular mood is high. Tasks will require 10% less trolls to be accomplished efficiently for 3 turns.]
You allocate your population in a good manner, just deduct 10% from each task and assign them to an additional project or two.
With your population growing, there is now a shortage of weapons: clubs, mauls and bolas -- and tools. More need to be crafted to maintain their bonuses. The same applies to warrens.
A pair of satyrs come to your tribe with one of the bedouin caravans, advertising an "oasis inn" named "Satyr's Gift". Perhaps this is worth an investigation?..

The ghost city is mostly made up of grand monuments, with little to no functional buildings. Their spires reach towards the sky, their marble walls carved with intricate symbols and ornaments. In one of the buildings, the priest and warriors find an altar with water flowing out of it. Tasting it, they are, for some moments, transported into another reality, one where the city is populated by hordes of ghosts. Drinking the water again, the explorers find themselves among the ethereal populace again. The ghosts don't seem to be hostile, at least, only watching your scouts with curiosity. Communication with the ghosts reveals that there is a King among them, ruling the city from one of the grandest buildings. If you wish to deal with the city somehow, you should probably go to the ruler.

The City-State is a strong land-based power. Citizenship is only granted to those who served in the army for a set amount of time. The Joviir make raids against the southern states and trade spoils for useful items around the Sea. They also breed horses, which are renowned around the area for their endurance.

[ Roll1 - General Luck / Gods Favor ]

Our folk have been patient and hardworking and the Gods have finally shown their Favor upon us. I was awoken early one morning, being nearly dragged by the Shrinetenders to our Shrine. There, with my own eyes, I saw it had been transformed overnight into beautiful Granite stonework with pools of holy water inlaid into the top.

To do such work ourselves would have been at least weeks if not months of effort, and we do not even have a source for the beautiful granite! We are truly blessed and finally, after so many years of traveling and searching, where the Catfolk need to be. This land is ours to defend and any catfolk who has doubts can merely gaze upon the Shrine and have their commitment renewed.

As another blessing, the catfolk studying the Sacred Spring report a connection to the Sacred Waters and perhaps the spark of becoming Tidecaller Mages. In addition the Shrinetender Masthimin is reporting the spark as well. All of them are being allowed to train and work on their skills. What a blessing it would be to have an army of Tidecallers able to defend our lands. We would shine among the greatest catfolk civilizations in generations if we were to have multiple Tidecallers in our midst. To have more, skilled, would put us into the highest reaches if not take position as the greatest catfolk civilization to have lived. With the study and care of the Sacred Spring such goals may be within our reach. I will allow the Mages to train diligently. I do not know what resources they will require and most likely they will not either. Such things will come with time and skill. All catfolk hold Tidecallers with great regard and to be training the spark of magic is a position of honor. None involved want to see failure and the dishonor such things would bring.

Moving on to other happenings, the training of the Horses as beasts of burden is continuing well. I am told with luck they will be fully domesticated and ready for work / perhaps further training next year. These creatures and their capabilities are new to us but we will learn together.

Our scouts have returned successful once again, this time they bring news of a small vein of copper. This metal is not unknown to us but like all metals, it is rare and highly sought after. We will train miners and will upgrade our equipment with it as best we can, for as long as it lasts.

[2/2]

With luck the copper vein will last long enough to upgrade our tools and perhaps craft some melee weapons for our best warriors. We are thankful for the blessings of the Gods as they come and will do our best to make good use of them.

In addition to the copper our scouts found a curious building deep under water. We are skilled swimmers but holding our breath for the distances and times required for this would take a blessing from the Gods themselves. ( Not unheard of, but such feats are usually reserved for Heros on epic quests! ) We will leave this building alone for now, perhaps a path to exploring will open itself to us in the future.

Our potters have used their skill and expertise and created a perfect replica of the golems guarding the Great Garden. I am told Elders are curious about the symbols and some seem familiar. Perhaps their long memories will remember something interesting [Roll1]

The small Army continues to train and gain strength. With the blessings of the Gods and proof of their works in plain sight, all catfolk who can see should have their doubts removed and be able to commit themselves to their tasks with even greater resolve. This area is blessed, we are blessed, and we must be ready to defend these lands when enemies come. And they will come. It is only a matter of time. Our catfolk Army grows and continues to train, and the Elite Warriors, elders in their craft of warfare, continue their research and training towards better and stronger ways for catfolk to fight. Such things take time but are required for the strength we wish to build.

We are already a shining star among the generations of catfolk. So many were left to wander and explore and never had the opportunity to build and show their strength towards something better. This location, these lands, show so much promise and potential and we must not squander it. We must remain committed and strong, ready against those who would do us harm. We build for the opportunity of those catfolk yet to come, that they may see peace and fortunes our ancestors could only dream of. Such things are within our grasp of our paws and we must do everything we can to succeed.

The Kugel people receive The-One-Who-Leaps with pure joy. The priests could sense his presence long before he arrived on the island and quickly prepared the harbor for his arrival. The last of the holy ash was spread across the harbor and a crude plank of wood set up at the very end of the harbor.

As the One-Who-Leap get close to the harbor in his canoe, the Kugel people cheered and each of the Kugel warrior took turns leaping with louad croaks as far as they can off the plank over the One's canoe. As The-One-Who-Leaps stepped onto the harbor it was clear to all who saw him that he was a Champion of the Gods.

It was quickly decided that it not was suitable for The-One-Who-Leaps to not be equipped with holy items. 4 more Amazons were sacrificed, however, instead of the sacrificial pit they were slowly drained of their blood by the priests. After three large stone bowls were filled with blood, the skull of the wyvern, the tip of the spear used to slay the wyvern, and Sicrelinthe's holy rock were soaked in them for 30 days and nights. 3 priests chanted the entire month with no sleep, food, or any wordly comforts, over the bowls. If the items were dyed completely red by the end of the month it was a sign that these items were now favored by the gods.

While the items were being blessed the next priority for the Kugel was to finish Lakur's mighty ship. Kugel directed by priests carved the myth of Lakur all around the outside of the ship in pictures.

"When the Kugel people were still young and the Heron still ruled the world they were barred from the water. The Heron had decreed that they were prey and hiding under the water would not do. Whenever a Kugel would try to enter into a pond the Heron Gods would send a a storm to blow them away. The Kugel had no choice to watch as their young grew shriveled and malnourished without the water and as the Heron's would descend and eat the slowest of them exposed on land. Lost and afraid they would pray to the gods for safety, but The-Calm-Pond had long been slain by the Heron Gods. Someone did respond to them, however, Lakur, the largest of the Minnows offered to blow away the Heron's evil winds with his tail if the Kugel would worship him. The desperate Kugel accepted and everytime an evil storm tried to blow them away Lakur would dissipate it with a mighty swing of his tail. For his might and courage for defying the Heron Gods Lakur would be accepted by the other gods as one of their own, as a part of the Kugel Pantheon."

Once the grand carving was finished the last Amazonian was tied to the sacrificial mast and the priests prayed for the waves to drown her. To christen the ship with a sacrifice so it's journey's will be safe from evil storms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
With the completion of the ship and the blessing of the weapons everything seemed to be going smoothly for the Kugel except for the fact that the Horror still lurks on the island.

Uhhh I can't find the old post on Archive.moe so if anyone knows had to find it tell me. I'll just go ahead and roll again for now.

It is decided that The-One-Who-Leaps and the Amazon leader must kill the horror beyond themselves. It is immune to normal weaponry so the other warriors would only hold them back.

The Horror is not the only otherworldly being the Kugel must deal with. They also must deal with he ghost who they have ambivalent feeling about. They see the ghosts as misguided sons of the god of death so they must not mistreat them because they are holy, but the ghosts are also not supposed to be here. They are supposed to dwell in the underworld with their father. A priest and a few escorts are sent to meet with the ghost king and find out why they're are here.

The various people of Daíona continued on as always. The various halfdemons tied to envy still tried finding ways to actually cure disease and attempted utilizing herbs in a myirad of ways to achieve this effect, and some observations were found, though not too many at least, not yet. Still some things which were poisonous were accidently found, as well as some things that seemed to help a little at least. Their progress was slow regardless, unlike those working with copper now. They continued their work to try and see what exactly made the strange metal the weapons the non blooded who attacked them were made of, along with anything else of note regarding such things. Similarly, work was done on a building dedicated to the production of various tools and weapons made of metal, and a few others worked on making a proper mine where the copper was so as to better and more easily and safely extract the metal. However, a large number of demons would work to try and figure out their surroundings to a greater extent, specifically in roughly cataloging the various animals and plants that were in the general area that could be of some use, while some others tried looking for more metal and minerals in the area that could be of use. They were guarded by a few Afanistís so as to be safe incase they were attacked, though they mainly stuck to their lands, trying not to go too far into the kingdom of their arch enemies or the monks of the south. In less exciting news, a number also worked on cutting some of the forest for greater lumber and the halfdemons who were now skilled woodworkers were swiftly utilizing that new lumber to make nicer beds, tables, chairs, and other crafts of lumber to furnish homes and make life just that bit more comfortable. Further, some of the wood would be used to try and make greater bows than currently were possessed by the hunters and the rest of the city state. It was mostly experimental work but something nice might come out of it. Lastly, a halfdemon tied to pride, Theresa pondered something unusual.

26 Quanli will maintain their tireless watch over our herds of Crabs. (Please automate this from now on! The Crabs should always be tended by as many as are needed to get good yeilds.)

24 Quanli will keep nurturing and tending to the fruit tree groves. (Please Automate this from now on! The groves should always be maintained by as many as are needed to get good yields.)

20 Quanli will man our fishing fleet and fish the waters around our island. (Please Automate this from now on! To fish the sea is an ancient tradition, and as many as are needed to get good yields should always crew our boats)

30 Quanli will practice and work to train themselves as Stonemasons this year.

20 Quanli will tend to the planted 'lumber' trees, and start more trees of these types growing in extension areas.

5 Quanli and 20 Human slaves will set to work making a sugar mill, to be ready once the Sugar cane has matured.

5 Quanli and 20 Human slaves will keep tending to the Sugar cane of the plantation to keep the number of plants increasing.

10 Quanli and the remaining 10 Human slaves (former pirates themselves) will work to try and duplicate some of the ranged weapons used by the pirates, so that the Pirates might not have an advantage of ranged weapons if they attack again.

With the north of our island still unknown and unexplored, a party of 20 Quanli (including 10 warriors) will go scout out the area - let us hope we'll make valuable finds.

The 30 shipwrights will spend the year improving our galley, constructing a ram resembling our own noble Quanli visage upon the prow of the vessel from wood and obsidian, and palisades to shelter from pirate ranged weapons. They will work in three shifts. so that there will always be 10 working upon the galley - even if it takes sail, so they might help our with knowledge and repairs.

The 4 Quanli scouts will maintain their watch upon the pirates, so that we might be ready and alert when they come for us again.

And the final 100 Quanli (Including the other 50 warriors) will ready themselves practicing with and drilling upon the galley, ready to use it and themselves against the pirates if they should try and attack our village and harbour again - and the latest report made this sound as if it will come soon...

Whilst the report from the daring fishers is of great interest, it is decided this is not a risk that can be taken whilst an attack is apparently imminent - only if there is no chance of an attack falling against our people in the year should we consider this.

Devon stormed out of the meeting. Something about the fishmen? I wasn't really paying attention. No, not fishmen. I'm not supposed to call them that anymore. Galyr and Malkiel insist we should use their proper name now but I can never remember it. Zur? Vun? Something like that.

The masons will have to continue their dull work without me for now. I'm making ships until they catch up to my level. Galyr promised to ask the Fu to share their shipwrighting insights. I hope they'll help with some ideas I've been having.

Speaking of the devil, Galyr is going to work full time with the Vuc on... something or other this year. Malkiel will keep playing with his crystals. He says he has some more promising avenues than huffing them to consider. Ha! Ha, I say!

Project Updates:

Project Magic Tower: The architectural plans have been finished for two years. Two! All we need to do is actually build that damn thing, and those two insist on such mundane things as practicality or amassing experience. Bah! I'll give them a year and let these fledgling masons doublecheck my flawless design like they ask. But this is the last delay I accept!

Project Marlin: I'm sure there is a better form of propulsion than oars and sails. Fish use neither. They have tails and fins. Why has no one thought to copy them for a ship? Maybe the Nu shipwrights can help me answer that question.

Project Blackbird: No matter how much Galyr insist otherwise, I know birds have some sort of natural magic that counteracts the natural attraction of the earth element in their bodies and allows them to fly. I have been unable to find the source of this magic, or replicate it, but I know it's just a matter of time before I unlock their secrets.

Project Isle in the Sky: That can't possibly work.

Can it?

>Continue assimilating the Vur. Accept training their most promising candidates in the basics of magic. Continue the war games, their hit and run tactics are eminently compatible with our own hammer and anvil approach. Offer to construct a stone building of their choice in Yuki, hopefully the first of many. Offer to permanently supply them with golem labour, food, fruit and wood, ask them to supply us with fish and for their assistance in various tasks to be detailed below.
>Construct a simple stone tower around the Stone Disk to house the scriers. Perhaps proximity will improve their efforts. It will be good practice for erecting the Tower of the Arcane.
>Continue upgrading the city of Zésh with stone buildings.
>Bardenar will design and construct two nimble ships meant for exploration, asking for Vur assistance on the designs. 10 Zeshians will begin formally training as shipwrights.
>10 Zeshians will begin training as woodworkers, assisting initially in ship construction before branching off to make furniture and other such products.
>Devon will ask the Vur to guide an expedition into the ruins of their oppressors' settlement. Perhaps something of value remains there.
>Galyr will ask the Vur elders to work together with him in order to ease tensions, learn their history and legends and share knowledge in general.
>Search the island for medicinal plants that can be cultivated. Ask the Vur if they know of any such things.
>Malkiel will continue experimenting with the Red Crystals, changing tracks to something perhaps more productive. They attract magic. Can they be used to store it, as a sort of mana batteries? And can they be used for permanent enchantments?
>Construct a second Golem Workshop in the city of Zésh.
>Sell Fruit. Buy weapons if able. If not, we have no pressing need for other goods so it's a good opportunity to begin filling our treasury.

SOFTPAW
[The mine is built. Assign some catfolk here to gain a steady supply of copper, which can be made into both tools and weaponry.]
The horse domestication is a success. Used as beasts of burden, these help with the more arduous work, such as transporting large amounts of clay and copper from deposits. They may also be trained to serve as cavalry. [20% less workers needed for every physical non-crafting task.]
[More potters are trained every year to sate the tribe's need for ceramics. However, with this amount of catfolk dedicated to industry, you now produce enough to export somewhere. What remains is to find some more amicable neighbours or traders.]
The mage training proceeds briskly. They regularly drink water from the Sacred Spring, and after a year of such practice, the ability to bend waterflow seems to stick with them even without consumption of holy water. At this point, they can levitate water spheres and alter some currents. Their true power still develops. [1/3 mage training]
>54
The golemancy study is a success. The mages seem to gain an understanding of the runes as their abilities are awakened. Not only that, some of the elders who travelled far during their long lives seem to recall the symbols. These were used by human mages, and are a kind of script that documents what this golem is meant to accomplish and how it is constructed. With decryption and understanding of these symbols, the mages attempt to imprint them on a test golem, and -- it moves. [You have unlocked Golemancy]
[New tactics, new formations are invented as well.] [2/6 tactics research]
The coppersmiths set up a smithy. It takes a year for them to familiaraise themselves with the metal, but now they should be ready to produce tools and weaponry for the tribe.
A call for wandering is heard again among your people. They seek to explore new lands, either by sea or deeper inland.

The lesser monsters, contrary to what their name may suggest, are quite mighty compared to a regular salamander. Your warriors slay a lot, but not enough to ensure safety of the Lakeshore. One more hunting party should be good for that task. Also, some casualties are sustained -- 2 of those sent lay dead.
>25, 11, 96
The foragers seeking cocoa beans and red peppers come empty-handed. However, a queen bee has been captured -- with this, honey may be produced. Due to monsters skulking around the swamp, you lose 10 of the less-agile foragers on their mission.
Since only one ingredient of caocao was secured, your artisans prepare artificial hives and plant whatever flowers they can find around the apiary.

The hunt achieves moderate results. While the angered animals are cleared out, their rage led to severe casualties -- 21 trolls, a third of those sent, lay dead in the depths of the jungle. Snow Reader pressed on with the remaining expedition and investigated the temple. Inside seemed like a library of sorts, with strange symbols etched into the walls along with pictures. They show first a kind of people fighting against a mighty being among sands, then the being in chains, and after that it breaking the chains and laying waste to the lands. The final picture is that of a shining crimson sickle. Besides these pictures, in the temple there is a collection of metallic tablets, a kind of alphabet translator, and the troll tongue is among some of those recorded on it. However, it seems encoded, so it'll take some time to decode it. In the temple, there is also a strange contraption, a complex series of spinning circles (?). The expedition has no idea what they mean.
[The warrens are expanded. They may now house up to 800 trolls.]
The adventurers are yet to return after a year has passed...
[You have obtained a stone and wood stockpile. These may be used in a major construction project.]
[A club for every troll! -- this is the motto of the woodworkers as they get to shaping weapons out of felled trees. By the end of the year, you have enough clubs to arm up to 800 trolls. Cliff Breaker and his mighty maul are an inspiration to all -- his presence in an army will boost its performance with a +5 bonus. Your craftsmen suggest that if you were to find hardwood, they could make clubs which would be truly fearsome in combat.]
[The mason training is complete. They may now shape machines and complex stone structures, as well as statues and other intricate decorations.]
[The snake herders bring in a report by the end of the year -- they have bred snakes to be strong, big, fast, and loyal, making them no ordinary boas and anacondas, but WAR SNAKES. They may be deployed with great efficiency against light- or unarmoured enemies, as well as any cavalry or beasts of war. While they won't be able to outright crush the more heavily-armoured enemies, they may immobilise them for ease of killing by trolls. There are 40 of war snakes.]

[The spears are made. With a growing arsenal of weaponry, your warriors now need to be specialised into classes, such as spearyetis, bola/slingyetis, clubyetis, etc. You can maintain a militia of all yetis, just write how many for each weapon type.] [Spears give +7 bonus in combat]
The yetis trying to combine spears and slings discover that by throwing a spear using a sling attached to the middle point makes it go faster and fly farther. [You have discovered amentum. Spear-throwing troops gain +3 in combat]
[2/3 metallurgy research]
The celebration is a success. The yetis playing instruments bring a much-needed relief after a tough battle. Whalers seem to become friendlier than ever to you. Perhaps with another common project, they might join you.
You have 310 yetis.

THESALON
Checked trips.
[The outpost is set up. Allocate workers here for a supply of adamantite.]
[Your ships course over the year between the Joviiri homeland and Thesalon, delivering marble and copper, and bringing back precious horses. The Joviiri, however, are no fools, they only send horses of a single gender, so that you may not get their finely-bred cavalry for yourselves. The trade and your diplomats facilitate good relations.]
[The Antellimians appreciate the help and readily accept your offer of grain exports. The Kalimanians are alike in their response. Overall, relations between your states start improving due to your help.]
[The Aplamos outpost is set up.]
[Scholar education is complete. While they cannot perform hard work themselves, they are polymaths who can direct regular workers in the role of a mason, woodworker, or other builder. They may also start the development of your philosophical doctrine, or teach in schools, or perform other mental tasks. Their uses are very varied.]
[2/3 war thought]
[The scouts are set. So long as you keep 10 of them in place, they will warn you when the insectoids will attack in advance.]
[With the road network in place, it takes less workers to man the mines in the north and Dytiason -- the lumber settlement -- in the west. 13 each for marble & adamantite mine for considerable extraction.]
[Over the year, the foundation for aqueducts and irrigation channels leading from them is set. It'll require one more year and a dedicated corps of scholars guiding the workers to finish them] [1/2 irrigation & aqueducts]
You have 352 cynocephales ready to be assigned to tasks (467 total). Of these, 60 are in Aplamos and 292 in Thesalon mainland.
36 of the cynocephales are scholars.

KUGEL-GLOBO
>77 + 5 (sacrifice) + 15 (secluded prayer)
The sacred weapons are dyed red as they are lifted from a pool of blood where they soaked for an entire month. The priests that chanted with all their might without food for an entire month lay dead, but they accomplished their mission.
Several months of work and a single sacrifice, and the ship is finally done. On that night, the sounds of storm are heard out at the sea. The Kugel go out to escape the ocean's fury, but it passes them by, as if the shore and the ship are protected by an invisible wall. Among the raging clouds and water, Lakur's shape, that of a minnow leaping out of the water, is formed by the monumental waves. You have pleased the Fish-God. [For 7 years, raids carried out by sea receive a +15 bonus. Your fish farms have been completed without further input from your workers. Also, your waters now contain rare fish -- delicacies that can be traded away for other goods. If traders don't hear about your less friendly exploits, that is.]

>54 + 15 (holy weaponry) + 10 (Champion of the Gods)
Sicrelinthe and The-One-Who-Leaps return, bloodied, battered, but alive, and having slain the Horror. It was a tough battle, and it seemingly absorbed all blows, until its movements first slowed, then stopped entirely. A spectre was seen leaving its corpse. It is unknown whether the Being still skulks around out world or passed on to ravage another.
>85
Not with some casualties, 10 exactly, but the basilisks' broodmother is slain and her hatchlings captured and thrown into the pit dug out by the Kugel domesticators. In a few years, so long as you allocate a portion of the Kugel to this task, you'll have a den of domesticated basilisks.
[The egg dens are built. Here, eggs laid by the Kugel mothers may be deposited for care by nurses. +0.05 pop growth. Maintenance is 8 per 100.]
>65
The explorers return with two pieces of news. The first, they found a bustling, little-defended village on the coast. They noted that merchant ships were coming to and fro in the harbour. The second, they located an outcropping of stone to the north. This could be used to reinforce your village, and in other construction projects, as well as crafting better weapons.
The berry bush projects succeeds. [This is essentially the same as food bonus for other civs, just allocate 10 per 100 and you'll get a growth bonus]
The Kugel meeting with the Ghost King report that there is no particular reason why the ghosts are in this world. In fact, their presence here is deliberate: a civilization long ago decided to immortalise itself and constructed a grand city, the City of Ghosts, and bound its citizens' spirits to it. Like this, their kingdom, where they lead peaceful lives, was born. Due to how long they existed, they possess a wealth of knowledge gathered through the ages. However, the problem is in convincing them to part with it...

DAÍONA TRIBES
[New herbs are tested, new medicines are invented. 2/3 Early Medicine research.]
[Over the year, your halfdemons dedicated to alloy research sacrifice various precious items from before the Long March south, made of tin, lead, and other metals, to combine them with the more common copper. They gain an understanding of alloys, and the chief ones they develop are brass -- copper with zinc -- and bronze, the coveted material from which the invaders' weaponry is made -- copper and tin.]
With new advancements in metallurgy, it seems fit to expand the mine and construct a building dedicated solely to forging tools, both military and civilian, out of metals. [You have constructed a smithy and expanded the mine.]
>2
Your scouts return with half lost, Afanistis guarding them don't return at all. It seems they stumbled upon a Forest of Ents, and were chased away as demonic spawn by the angered treemen. Well, at least they found plants of note for sure.
>25
Those prospecting find that the outcropping of copper continues further inland, turning into construction-grade stone. This could be used to reinforce your walls and buildings in general.
[3/6 tactics research]
By the end of the year, an alphabet is formed and a writing system assembled. Now, all that's left is to teach the common worker what those strange symbols mean. Or, should reading remain the privilege of the prideful?..
[You have obtained a lumber stockpile. It's not particularly hard or big enough for shipbuilding, but it's fine fore more mundane tasks.]
[Using part of the lumber you've gathered, the halfdemons experiment with various archery innovations. Which shape of the bow is the most efficient? Which fires the farthest? How to position the hand when drawing the bowstring? -- these questions are answered by those working on it.] [1/3 archery research]
[Carpenters get to work immediately after finishing their training. The furniture they make is good, and fought over by the envious halfdemons. However, there is enough for everyone. The quality of life in your little town raises further...]
[10 more fill the Hunters' ranks]
What is a halfdemon, or a demon? What was at the beginning of demonkind? What was at the beginning of the world? As your civilization develops, a need for philosophical doctrine forms. [What direction do Theresa's thoughts wander in?]
Slaves appreciate sleeping in a proper building instead of shacks and tents. This should lower the chance of a potential revolt.

ZÉSH
Due to the exchange of experience, the research into tactics progresses at a greater rate than usual. The Vur share their sign language they use for voiceless communication between warriors and their expertise of woodland navigation. [4/6 tactics research]
The fishmen already possess a rudimentary form of magic -- shamanism. The shamans' craft, however simple, is a fresh look on magic for most Zeshians. Still, the training of shamans' apprentices, who volunteer to learn magic, is carried out in a fashion traditional to humans and elves making up the majority of population. They learn hard, but work long and silently on exercises suggested by their teachers. [1/3 Vur mage training]
The chief of the Vur, Nirmarjul, orders the stone building constructed as his and the noble-warriors' living place, to denote their status.
Between the construction of the tower for the scriers and the stone building for the fishmen, the masons have gained enough experience to continue the Tower of the Arcane. In fact, they point out some mistakes in Bardenar's plans that could lead to instability of the structure -- it seems training them was a wise decision after all. [Mason training complete. Scrier tower is built.]
[The stone construction this year does not end just yet. Houses are reinforced under the oversight of masons. Some more goods imported, and the popular mood will rise.]
Picking out the largest trees, the fishmen instruct your workers to shape them into canoes and outriggers for better stability. They share their sail and rigging designs as well. In about a month, you have two small, yet fast ships for exploration. Shipwrigths study their designs and learn. [1/2 10 shipwrigth training]
The woodworkers gain experience over the year with various projects, and now, with proper experience gained, stand ready to be assigned to more complex tasks. [You have trained 10 woodworkers]

The ruins of the oppressors' settlement contain little of use. The mages investigating the place carry themselves just a bit weirdly though.
The elders are a bit alarmed by your interest in their culture in light of the wargame incidents, but agree to work together in easing the tensions. They share stories both with Galyr and the common folk gathered around great campfires when festivals are held every several months. The Vur worship the Endless Sea. They consider it holy and believe it gave birth to their people. It provides them with food, and is the centrepiece of all their life. One of their most prominent legends goes:
"In ancient times, when monsters prowled the earth, there lived a Vur, named Cincerai, who did not worship the Sea, as everyone. His family was murdered by monsters, and so he went to slay them. On the shore, he found a hydra, that murdered his father. And he fought for a long time with it, and could not defeat it.
>>
At the edge of defeat, waves have undermined a cliff above the beach where they fought, and the cliff has fallen on the hydra and killed it. Yet still Cincerai did not worship the Sea that helped him. And he went into the forests, and found a wyvern that killed his mother, and another fight started. Once more, he was almost defeated, but the Sea sent a storm that has striken down the wyvern, allowing Cincerai to kill it. Yet still Cincerai did not worship the Sea. And he went into the mountains, and found a dragon that killed his siblings and children, and fought it, and once again was on the brink of defeat. And the sea sent snow to freeze the dragon, and Cincerai killed the monster. And finally, after all this, he went to the Sea, and asked: "Why did you help me, if I did not worship you?" It is not known what the Sea answered, if it answered at all. But Cincerai saw wisdom in Its words, and cried because of his stubbornness, and vowed to never touch the sea, for it was holy. And he went away, and never was seen again."
In contrast with the Sea, land and especially air, is considered mortal domain. The Vur believe that eventually they will be able to fly, because they are to inherit the Air and Sky. Their burial customs include burning the body and spreading the ashes over the Sea, where the soul of one is believed to be rejoined with the Sea.
>25 + 10 (Vur expertise)
There are a little medicinal plants, which the Vur use, but not nearly enough for a proper plantation to be set up or for them to be used in treating wounds and illnesses among your populace.
>43 + 10 (experience)
The research goes well. The crystals can indeed be used as magic batteries, and a way to extract it from them and use it by the mages has been devised. Inhaling them causes delirium, but if a solution of their dust is drunk the side effects are reduced, allowing retained consciousness with increased magical power. Research into enchantment is still progressing. [You have unlocked mana potions and crystal batteries] [1/4 crystal enchantment research]

The mages you sent out with the traders return. They report travelling south, along the shore of the eastern continent, and meeting a peculiar state of fishmen -- not like yours, but with pointed, sharp heads, like that of a swordfish. On the shore of the eastern continent, they have found an loose confederation of ratmen. From the tales of the merchants, they are treacherous and avaricious, but not outright evil: the traders sometimes dock in their harbours to offer goods. On the shores of the western continent, they found a league of beastmen cities in the delta of a large river. They are ruled by a democracy and have an oratory tradition. The mages also found out that the oppressors the fishmen were talking about are, in fact, the people of the cite-state of Anom. What to do with this information remains to be seen.
You have 317 Zeshians (359 total), 65 Vur (153 total) and 146 golems of various types (only war unoccupied).

THE METROG
The scouts carrying torches return with black spots on their skin. They say the Abyss swallowed up whatever was thrown in it seemingly without sustaining any damage. The black plague has taken over a lot of your western lands, and keeps steadily spreading.

The 20 mages communicate with Akret, asking for guidance. It is given, in a limited form. They learn that they can carry light in their bodies, light that will destroy the darkness. However, developing this ability will take time. [1/2 Abyss countermeasure research]
The great-scale training continues. Half of all idrudari practice to become full-time warriors. [200 will receive +15 bonus in combat]
Training camps -- areas where warriors can practice sparring and war exercises -- are constructed. Weapons are made as well, however simple they may be in design. [Simple weaponry will give you +5 bonus in combat]

[You have trained 40 warriors and 10 dire wolf riders. They will receive +10 bonus in combat, the latter will give you tactical (flanking) superiority unless the enemy has mobile units or uses superior tactics.]
The defences are built, palisades and watchtowers to monitor the surroundings. With this, your people should be safe... [This will provide +10 bonus in combat]
[2/3 orchards]
Walls of the Great Warren and its facilities are laid out with stone. This should improve the mood of your people, and yet... They feel a bit sad in these stone jungles and dark, winding passages of the Warren. Some request housing built, with big windows allowing light to illuminate the inner structures. [-0.1 growth rate until you either quell the discontent or satisfy their demands]
[The Hollow and Merci Covert are built. With these facilities, services such as education and medical care are readily provided to bunnies big and small. Due to raising quality of life, you have +0.03 growth rate and 10% less workforce required for maintenance tasks.]
The mercibun corps are expanded, and herbalists take on apprentices to boot. Youths aspiring to be doctors should finish their education in three years. [1/4 50 doctor-herbalists training]

The search is a success. In the highlands of the north, medicinal herbs have been successfully found. With this, a plantation may be organised to help the herbalists in healing the common folk.
It takes about a year for the tanners to learn their craft, but now they should be ready to provide quality leatherwork for both military and civilian applications. [You have trained 30 tanners]
Over the year, 60 rabbits spend their time in crafting burrows, sharpening their skill in their chosen field. At the end of the year, you have 20 each of woodworkers, masons and builders trained.
[3/4 aurochs domestication]
A woodsrabbits lodge is built. It is a place for hunters to gather and share experience both between themselves and with aspiring woodsrabbits.
The Stranger, as he prefers you refer to him, is pleased to make your acquaintance. He says his teachings are not heretical, if anything, they would lend to the prosperity and multiplication of the rabbitfolk. He still does not specify how, but says the first stage of his plan shall be revealed soon.
At last, the danger, the monsters that were watching your rabbits, emerge from the woods and start attacking parties of woodsrabbits and workers travelling between the quarry outpost and the Great Warren. And their assault does not seem to weaken with time -- even as lives are sacrificed to fight the various black-skinned devils leaving inky stains on everything they touch. The casualties are 50 over the year. The bunnies are scared to leave the Warren now, and the outpost is effectively cut off from the mainland.

The various workers training in different fields hone their mastery over the year, and by winter, you have 20 blacksmiths, 15 magical assistants and 20 bowyers trained. The illusion mages require one more year of education to reach a high level in their sorcery. They are yet being instructed by trolls in their national magic.
The warriors hall is bustling with activity this year, from both departing soldiers making the final preparations for war with the undead, and new ones practicing on dummies and sparring with each other. [You have trained additional warriors]
[2/3 types of steel research]
Before the battle with the necromancer arrives, your scouts manage to assemble a cache of both medicinal and poisonous herbs. However, with undead hordes advancing, the outpost becomes temporarily inaccessible.

The trolls searching the mountains do not return until the end of the year. However, when they finally come back, they report having set up a silver mine, and outline its precise location on one of the maps. The deposit is not very big, but should be enough for now.
The inn is not very popular in light of events developing in the southwest, but slowly, it starts taking in the occasional traveller. No qualified workers, however.

Your warriors and mage villagers return, fleeing. The battle is lost. Wave after wave of unliving corpses crashed against their lines, and no matter how many spells they flung at them, or how much was cut down, the great tide of the dead never stopped, until everyone ran away. They at least made a dent in their hordes; but also, suffered casualties. Half of the warriors you sent are dead, and half the villagers are food for zombies as well. It is time to make a last stand in the Citadel. The Elder Witch, Ladielle, and her people prepare rituals to ward off the dead. It is not known whether they'll succeed.

The crab herders report that the breeding program is a success. They have formed 2 types of crabs so far: meant for food, and for crafting armour. The latter are more aggressive, but also possess stronger and bigger shells. [Crabs now provide +0.05 bonus to pop growth. Crabshell armour now provides +15 instead of +10 bonus in combat. You need to rearm your warriors for that though.]

Your scouts report finding a coastal village of humans. They didn't seem aggressive, so the scouts approached them. While the villagers were wary, they received the scouts and talked for a while. The scouts found out that the villagers have long fended off the pirates, and grow flowers which they turn into dyes and trade with merchants for more useful items. The scouts also spotted a strange contraption which the chief possessed -- a tube of iron with a wooden attachment and some kind of mechanism at the base. They call this thing a "rifle". After the scouts departed, they also sighted an entrance somewhere in the body of the mountain. Pushing open the monumental doors, they found a hall of obsidian and flowing lava. They couldn't progress further, this requires a dedicated effort of bridgebuilding, but they sighted an artifact of some kind deep in the hall.

-----

Another year of fine advances and growth. We finally have access to Copper, and with it we will soon have better tools for the civilian workers and weapons/armor for the military. It will take time and effort to upgrade everything. This will be a worthwhile endeavor which will take years to finish but will pay off greatly.

Our horses are fully domesticated now. This is a great feat which increases our civilians work capacity. We are also going to begin crosstraining some of our Elite Warriors as Cavalry, a position of even greater strength and honor. It will take time for our catfolk and the horses to learn to work together, but I am sure they will be devastating when they do.

Masthimin and the Tidecallers continue their training as well, and along the way have discovered secrets of Golemancy! For now it is just a single golem, but with time and the potters full attention we will have more. These golems will be a great boon and allow our catfolk to focus on more difficult tasks. With time I hope to fully automate the Clay and Copper harvesting.

As expected, the wanderlust grows and catfolk have asked the opportunity to explore. Their request is being granted, this time to head NorthWest and see what resources and bounties can be found. With luck and perseverance may they be as successful as the others.

The military continues to train. We are still a small force, slowly growing in skill and numbers. In time we will be able to mount a formidable defense. With the addition of horse Cavalry in training, our strengths and capabilities expand. May they be enough to defend us when needed.

What did the Sea say?

It is most peculiar. That tale, while fascinating, is certainly nothing more than a myth. Cincerai almost certainly never even existed, or if he did exist he was nothing more than a powerful warrior. And yet...

What if he wasn't? Is there a way to hear what the Sea told him? To see what happened to him after this revelation? The past holds so many secrets - almost as many as the future. Time obscures much. Is there a way to lift the curtain of Time, after a fashion, and learn those secrets?

Space and Time - they are linked somehow, I suspect. I do not understand the exact form of this connection yet, but I can feel the traces of something greater. I - and the scriers - can peer across Space with our spells. Manto could peer across Space as well as Time, in her own unique way. As for little Stella - it is far too early to tell.

Can we learn to replicate that? Use our spells to gaze upon the past and the future as well as the present? Perhaps, given enough time. But I am convinced we must master Space first before we begin delving into perilous Time.

Lakur has blessed the Kugel people for their diligence and it is time to use his gifts. To squander his favor would be the ultimate insult. Lakur's ship is loaded up with the canoe fleet, and as the ship reaches shallower waters Kugel warriors will exit the ship in the fast and stealthy canoes that are more suited to raiding. With Lakur's blessing behind them they raid the coastal village for goods and slaves. The other slaves have died either through sacrifice or harsh treatment, for Kugel society to function as it has they need more.

As the raid is ongoing the holy leaders are split on what to do with the Horror-Beyond-The-Star's body. Some advocate calling down holy flames to burn the body and rid the world of it's presence. However, some of them have... darker aims for it. The Horror had great power and it's body was impervious to mundane weaponry if the Kugel could harness it's power they would be mighty. The majority of the gathered leaders are horrified by the idea of using the Horror's unholy powers and shut down the matter entirely. However, one holy leader who believes the Horror was actually a trial from the gods, a gift for them to use after overcoming it, instructs some of his loyal supporters to take parts of the Horrors body and mix into one of the basilisks food. It is kept under close watch secretly to see what effects it have.

The ghosts must also be dealt with in some way. The Kugel now realize that the ghosts are not the misguided sons of death but those that have gained his favor through ritual. They are wise and old beyond reckoning. They seek to immortalize themselves and the Kugel can help them with that, priests and Kugel workers are sent to carve the ghosts history into wood or stone helping them in their quest. Through learning their history the Kugel might also learn lessons from it.

The shrine is also expanded to be more suitable for the Kugel's burgeoning village and a great pool is put inside it. After the image of Lakur appeared priests ordered worker to immediately scoop up the water. The water that was gathered is now put into the pool of the shrine. As a Kugel reaches adulthood they now must bathe in the water and if they have a great destiny or holy lineage the water will display a vision for al to see

The fact that there are ants who refuse to obey her orders, despite not only the duty they have as nobility, but against the genetic obedience to bloodlines is deeply concerning.

She takes these willing volunteers and through selecting the right candidates for their genetic composition, consumes their DNA for the ritual of the Zoanthorpe, to strengthen her mind and will over the hive. Perhaps not all of them, perhaps all of them. In this she strengthens the signals sent from her scepter like antennae that compel ants to obey her.

In the assumption that I can:-

Total: 324 Unassigned Quanli (30 Shipwrights, 30 Stonemasons, 60 Warriors) - 396 total Quanli; 50 Human Slaves

170 Quanli (Including all 60 Warriors and all 30 Shipwrights) and the Galley will stand ready - it may be that the pirates will try to press further if they won and the ship might need repairs, and those without a speciality might need to replace specialised Quanli lost. Alternately, if we were the victors, we might need to press our own advantage to capture fleeing pirates or even strike against their vulnerable base if things went really well.

5 Quanli and 20 Human Slaves will continue growing our sugar cane plantation

5 Quanli and 20 Human slaves will be used to tend our growing Lumber plantation

20 Quanli and 10 Human Slaves will grow gardens/plantations for Nutmeg and Peppers in greater quantities.

30 Quanli Stonemasons will resume our stalled aqueduct-irrigation project, carving stone from our Quarry and using it to build.

30 Quanli will spend the year making new Crabshell armour out of the better supply from the thick-shelled crabs.

30 Quanli will spend the year making bows.

20 Quanli will try to train themselves as herbalists and healers, so that if the island plants or animals hold medical applications we might find and use them.

The 4 scouts will, of course, keep watching the moves the pirates make so that we might always try to know what they are up to.

And the final 10 Quanli will head back to the Human village to try and trade for some of their dyes. Whilst there, we will also discuss planned acts against the pirates and try to assess the strength of the village - would they be able to help us try and drive these pirates from our shores?

Ahh. Okay, misunderstood that completely.

Well, beforehand I guess the warriors and the rest of the unspecialised Quanli group will drill and train and prepare and set traps, perhaps another 40 becoming warriors to get the numbers up to a round 100; afterward will either be repairs, recuperation and replacing specialist losses with new trainees or a grand victory celebration.

With the new writing system established, a place for people to be taught it and potentially more advanced topics would be worked upon. Similarly, a material better for writing upon than just stone which was hard to work with and took exhaustive time would also be looked for. However, there was much more done than just scholarly pursuits. Work would be done to expand the town and to establish a quarry where the stone was founded. Further a number of Halfdemons would keep working on medicine and a number more would try gathering useful plants to farm that weren't tied to food but could be used for other useful things. On a vaguely similar note some worked on methods of fishing that didn't involve just trying your luck with a spear. Many others worked on archery further, some became smiths, and a small number worked to uncover the strange things that their demonic ancestors could do. However all of this was nothing too special compared to the things discussed by Theresa and a number of Halfdemons who took interest in her thoughts. Specifically, that of the source of the world, the element that was there before all others. They came to believe due to the nature of the world around them that it was made up of four elements, Air, Earth, Water and Fire. Which of these was the primordial element from which all others came from and by a natural result the rest of the world was something that was thought of for some time. Water couldn't be it, as it couldn't give rise to the other three. Yet, fire couldn't give rise to it's opposite either. And air could not make upon earth. They would experiment some time with the earth, yet finding little they came to an epiphany. Perhaps she had been going about it all wrong. Perhaps there was a fifth. Something beyond the four that naturally were able to be seen. It wasn't unreasonable to believe such existed, considering the strange forces that some could harness. Something some other Halfdemons might be working to understand.

>15 tanners work to produce leather armor for the military
The darkling threat does not wane like a hateful thunderstorm it is only intensifying and if the tribe is to come through this great calamity then it must adapt. With over 50 dead in a year, it is no longer viable for bunnies to simply wield weapons, they must have the means to prevent the enemy from hurting them as well. Armor is a wonderful idea that may yet be the salvation of the tribe, using the leathers brought back by the hunter and worked by the skilled paws of the tanners are turned into a formidable piece of equipment that hopefully will prove to be the edge needed to drive back the dark one. Amor for the bunnies as well as dire wolves of that military will be made and handed out.

>15 tanners work to develop and produce The Stone Sling
While half the tanners of the tribe worked to produce armor to save the lives of the bucks and doe's who would be fighting in melee with the corrupted ones, the other at the word of the chieftess was tasked with coming up with a means to attack and fight back the enemy at a distance. Working from the concept that a thrown stone hurts when hit with, and the flexibility and elasticity of some part of leather hide, the sling weapon was born. They simply needed to prototype it and find the best way to produce it reliably and quickly

>Train 120 bunnies into military units
80 bunnies will be trained into warriors under the watchful eye of the already existing warriors with 3 recruits to 1 warrior. 40 of these recruits would be trained as purely ranged units armed with the tribe’s new stone sling weapons taught how to cave a darklings skull in from many yards away with nothing more than their sling, and a sharp eye. The other 40 will be trained in melee combat fitted with the new leather armors and wooden shields the skilled craftsbunnies of the tribe have been so diligently working to perfect.

The 40 bunnies not being trained into warriors are destined to become dire wolf riders under the watchful eyes of the already experienced rider with 4 recruits to 1 rider. They will learn to fight with a wooden shield in one paw and a melee weapon in the other. All while both bunny and wolf are covered in leather armor, as they figure out how best to savage and main the enemy with their weapon as well as they mount. For a dire wolf rider, there is no distinction between bunny and wolf separate they are incomplete united they are whole they must learn to bond with their mount to such a degree that without the other they feel and are incomplete.

This will put the lagolandian military at 170 souls strong

>10 bunnies work at the wisdom hollow to develop writing
With the growth of the tribe and expanding complexities of lagomorph life a new means of recording and sending out information is needed simple word of mouth no longer cuts especially not with how large the military is growing if the tribe hopes to keep up its effectiveness and military cohesion then this must change, and so began the work for formalizing the spoken tongue of the bunnies into a written language (I call dibs on using the Latin alphabet in this world)

>5 builders & 10 bunnies build a training lair for mass military training to improve the quality and effectiveness of our warriors and dire wolf riders.

>5 woodworkers & 10 bunnies build Lumber den
As the military and tribe grow so does its need for wood, gone are the simple days of small-scale gather as needed wood production, now is the age of large-scale organized lumber dens where the tribe can effectively and quickly gather critically needed wood.

>15 woodworkers work to develop and mass-produce wooden shields
While the tanners of the tribe scheme and plan with their leathers the woodworkers have what they consider to be full-proof protection against the darkling menace wood being it in the shaft of a spear, or in the shape of a door can prevent incoming harm, while carrying a whole door around may not be viable, having a wood shield certainly is, able to be carried one-handed leaving the other for a warriors melee weapon of choice giving them the means to block an attack and the swiftly deliver righteous retribution.

>15 builders 20 masons, 30 bunnies to resolve the quality of life issues with the Great Warren
Those builders not assigned to the Training lair project are instead put to work on a project to redesign and improve the many tunnels, chambers, and dark winding places that make up the Great warren, working with them are the stonemasons who best understand the ways to carve and smooth stone, as well as an all-volunteer group of bunnies sent to represent a cross-section of ideas and wants on how to improve the inner depths of the Great Warren. With lighting being the central issue nearly all bunnies wish to see addressed, the builders and masons work drafting ideas and plan for how to illuminate the great halls, tunnels, and other winding passages without sacrificing the safety they offer by placing great windows in them after a time torch and sconces are settled on, it will require some reworking of the great warren to allow for increased airflow as to prevent suffocation but will serve to light up even the darkest and most forgotten places within.

A side concern but still an important one is how the plan stone walls make the bunnies of the tribe sad, to alleviate this as part of the redesign of the warrens tunnels and many halls and chambers, the masons will carve beautiful art into the very stone itself, some areas like the shrine of Veerameka will venerate the goddess with murals in her honor, and art that elevates her tenents, in the breeding dens lewd scenes of passion and ecstasy will stir the passions and hearts of those within elevating the experience to euphoria, in heart of the warren and downs it’s main tunnels will be carved the history of the tribe captured in art and stone. No place in the great warren will be untouched by the art and imagination of the tribe. Helping the masons are the 20 bunnies and builders.

>5 mercibuns and 18 bunnies set up a medicinal plantation to cultivate and grow the healing herbs and plant the scouting party found last year.
Even in the darkest of days, one must hope for the future it is why this medical farm was being built even in the face of the dark ones the future is not grim. Even if the war against them drags on the healing palms and treatments these plants and herbs will offer will help turn the tide against them, no matter how long it may take.

>20 bunnies are made into clerics (think D&D)
20 bunnies of the tribe the most devoted of the tribe offer their goddess their lives completely sacrificing hunted game at her shrine, tattooing her mark upon their bodies (above the womb for does and on the heart for bucks) pledging to give themselves over completely to her to spread the faith and her will, exchange they pray to her to imbue within them even a fraction her power to help drive back the dark ones with her holy might channeled through them. To offer: healing to the dying where mortal means would fail, inspire with holy aura when the will off bunnies flags, and To become beacons of hope in these dark and forsaken times.

I have the privilege of a very simple turn this year.

>25 workers (10 elite mages and 15 magical assistants) shall reinforce my citadel with magic. The trunks of the trees will be like iron, their needles will shoot out at our foes. The enemy seeks to drown us in bodies, but what is his army compared to the weight of these trees?

>25 workers shall use the village as a hospital, treating the wounded with medicinal herbs

>279 workers (20 elite warriors, 10 elite mages, 50 archers, 50 infantry, 149 militia) shall man the citadel. We can afford to drag this fight out; the land is on our side

>Envoys shall be sent to the troll villages asking for aid. I doubt this necromancer will stop once he's done with us. Furthermore, the elderly trolls and all of the young people shall go to the main troll village for sanctuary

A short, but important announcement, I am very tired from a month of regularly writing huge updates, so the 9th turn will be the last one for this thread. It will arrive before the thread is pushed off the board, but it'll take longer than usual. I'll make the next thread maybe never, maybe in 2 months, maybe more. This is because firstly, I got other quests to run and ideas to be tested, secondly, the past month has been very taxing on me (updates usually take about 8-12 hours to make) and I need to think whether I want to continue this or move on to less intensive projects. Join the discord if you want to receive updates on the status of this quest or just chill with other anons. Alternatively, check the /qtg/ once in a while. Thanks for playing with me so far and I hope you enjoyed it. That's all.

STONE COLD MAWS
The beastmasters spend time learning how to interact with the snakes and teach them various commands. It'll take another year for them to gain a proper understanding of snakes and for the slithering creatures to bond with the beastmasters. [1/2 20 beastmaster training]
Tools are assembled, bolas are made. The tribe's stocks are replenished. However, what is more interesting is that by combining wood handles and stone heads, mauls can be made both fairly light and very destructive. [Tools and bolas will last until 600 population] [You have discovered stone mauls]
>62
The expedition, venturing into dangerous territories beyond the batmen's cave in the east, soon returns. They have lost 10 trolls to the winged devils, but found, thanks to the woodworkers' expertise, hardwood. This can be made into advanced wooden weaponry and constructions. However, it can't be exploited until the bats are dealt with.
While it is simple, the work of crossreferencing what each symbol means and how words join together is quite tedious. Over the year, the trolls manage to translate the texts. While most of it is restating what is already documented in pictures, the tale of a mighty djinn sealed in a tomb in the middle of the desert after a tough battle, what is more interesting is a prophecy that it will awaken due to a power-hungry bedouin breaking its chains. What is required to defeat the djinn then, is the depicted ruby sickle, said to be sealed by the ancestors in "beast allies' lands" far to the northeast.
With the second tournament underway, now with team games in addition to duels, a professional gladiator group of 80 trolls begins to form. [They will receive +15 bonus in combat]
[The plantation is finished. You now have access to cocoa beans which may be made into stimulating, bitter drinks, or, should you obtain sugar, chocolate and sweets.]
With tournaments regularly held and access to the exotic cocoa, the quality of life rises. Trolls will be more motivated in combat and more fertile as well. [+0.05 pop growth rate, +5 bonus in combat]
The 18 trolls travelling to the oasis return. They report being lavishly received by a group of hosts and entertainers who led them to an inn. There was wine and music and revelry. The expedition stayed for a year with the satyrs, establishing a common, if somewhat broken, language. [You have opened diplomacy with True Oasis]
You have 240 trolls.
80 trolls are Gladiators.
20 trolls are Expert Masons.
21 trolls are Expert Woodworkers.
You also have 50 War Snakes.

GREKLATINI
[Tools stockpile, however simple, is expanded. These will last until 800 population.]
The metallurgy research is complete. Your yetis now know how to construct a furnace and cast metals into useful shapes. Train some dedicated metalworkers, and they can produce both tools and weaponry.
About half of the warlord's troops escaped, searching through the corpses on the field of battle yields 40 bronze spears and 40 bows, the rest you already have. Reverse engineering the bows, you discover archery -- a skill of throwing not heavy, but very swift arrows using a string attached to a bent piece of wood. It'll take 1 more year for you to learn how to make them efficiently and enhance usage techniques. [2/3 archery research]
The sulfur experiments yield little aside from what is already known. Sulfur burns, and emits a nasty smoke as it does so. It could very well be used in bombs or mixed with other substances to produce incendiary weapons. [You have built up a sulfur stockpile]
[45 spearyetis are trained. These can hold the line fairly well, as well as pierce light enemy armour.]
You have 372 yetis.
160 yetis are warriors of various kinds.

>>5123596
SOFTPAW
Cavalrycats begin their training. The horses, more used to carrying heavy loads than maneuvering around the battlefield and charging against rows of enemies, will need one more year of training to fully adapt to the realities of war. [1/2 20 cavalrymen training]
The golem workshop is set up, mages drawing up makeshift circles they saw in their dreams or received as instruction from the elders. It is put to use quickly, and by the end of the year, you have 10 simple golems constructed. [You have built a Golem Workshop]
Mage training proceeds. Their mastery over water increases, they are now capable of calling upon waves to crash against their target. The size of these waves is not enough to inflict harm perhaps, but will certainly slow their enemies or boost the ships' speed. [2/3 11 mage training]
Coppersmiths work over the year, and soon enough plenty of copper tools are produced. [Maintenance tasks now require 10% less workforce for same efficiency until 800 population]
[3/6 tactics research]
Elite warriors enhance their skill, new recruits learn the basics of combat. [Each tier of warriors advances, gaining +5 bonus]

Explorers return with bad news. In the northwest, there is a cursed forest, where land is dark and various beasts lurk and prowl. They have not ventured far into the woods, so there is no telling whether anything worth investigation is in the thicket.

LELOTL
The hive expansion progresses nicely. By the end of the year, your beekepers are trained, and they report readiness to harvest considerable amounts of honey.
Lancelotl and Incelotl train the allocated Salamanders as professional warriors. [20 of your people will receive +10 bonus in combat]
Craftsmen is too broad a term -- specify their area of expertise. The common worker, however, has the ability to produce simple tools and weaponry. [You have equipped your warriors with simple weaponry, this will provide +5 bonus in combat] [Simple tools are made for your workers, 5% less workforce for tasks required]
It'll take one more year for the fish to multiply and be ready for harvest. [1/2 fish farms]
You have 133 Salamanders.
5 Salamanders are Beekeepers.
20 Salamanders are Warriors.

ZÉSH
The wargame show goes great. Over the past years, as cooperation between the Vur and the Zeshians grew, old grievances and loss of loved ones in the war was getting smoothed out little by little. The show, demonstrating the newly-invented combined arms units of golems, battle mages and Vur guerillas, contributes toward this rapprochement. [Combined arms units will receive +10 bonus in battle] [5/6 tactics research]
The 20 Vur that desired to be taught magic advance their knowledge. They are practising the foundations of Golemancy now, crafting their first animated constructs. [2/3 20 Vur mage training]
The powers the shamans possess are very much real, according to the mages leading the investigation. They employ a kind of magic different to your own. Apparently, spirits inhabit the world around your people, usually unseen. However, the Vur shamans invoke their help by striking certain deals with them. e.g. they may call upon the forest spirits to grow medicinal herbs in return for planting and taking care of new trees. What remains to be done about this kind of magic is up to the sages. Perhaps the fishmen would be willing to educate some of your mages in their ways?
With a great deal of expertise backing them up, the masons get to work of the Tower, and within a year make progress that was expected to take two. The Tower Core is complete, which means the main building is finished. What is left is to fill it with books and magical devices, and the Tower shall be ready for use. [2/2 Tower of the Arcane Core] [0/1 Tower of the Arcane End]

Kajar and Enhasa appear to be volcanic islands, with rivers of lava flowing from tall fire mountains, with a thin strip of charred forests and sand beaches between them and the sea. The scouts did not stop there for long, as per your orders, but on their short tour of the islands they have stumbled upon disturbing scenes of forbidden rituals, with mass burials near summoning circles.

Algetty explorers return with more promising finds. They have determined that there is a deposit of orichalcum on the island, though it is very small, probably enough to only craft about 500-1000 tools or weaponry. They also encountered a village of beastmen, severe, strict warriors. In the short communication, using the rudimentary language the water mages picked up during their journeys, they determine that this is a place of exile for those deemed traitors by the Hesperidae. Whether they are truly traitors or just unjust outcasts is not known.
Your scouts stop for extended periods of time in the city-state of Anom on the southern island and in the Hesperidae lands. They establish formal contact with both powers, diplomacy with them is now possible.
[2/4 crystal enchantment research]
The shipwrights are fully trained. While due to their eductaion from the fishmen they can't construct particularly large ships, those they can are mobile and tactically superior to those of comparable size. [10 Shipwrights trained] [Shipwrights can't construct large ships, but those they can receive +10 bonus in combat]
[Due to goods such as furniture and houses being reinforced with stone, the quality of life rises. Tasks now require 10% less workforce for same efficiency.]
[Tools will now last until 900 population.]
The scriers of the tower and Galyr determine that their rituals can be improved. [1/3 Scrying II research]
Flight could give your mages an advantage in combat, greatly increasing their mobility. Levitation is fairly simple, but true flight will require more time to complete. [1/2 Flying spell research]

THESALON
[The outpost is set up. You may now monitor the insectoid movements more closely.]
With expanded irrigation, your workforce may now operate farmalands more efficiently. [Farming now requires 2 less workers per 100]
War research is finished. You can now build machines of war such as scorpions and catapults, while your soldiers will fight better, provided they are trained in advance. [Machines of war unlocked] [+5 bonus in combat for trained]
[You have built up a stockpile of adamantite. It can now be used to assemble weapons or tools]
The ships return. They have sailed far to the north, where sea is cold and the land is barren. They have encountered a joint civilization of elves and trolls -- a peculiar combination. They seem to be fighting against the necromancer hordes; perhaps once he was repelled by the Kalimanians and Antellimians, he went east to increase the numbers of their army. They stayed in the local harbours for a while, learning the local language, and established communication with the locals. [You have opened diplomacy with Nw'semmes]
The orcs agree to your proposal. Soon, volunteers from among them will bolster the Antellimian armies in the east.
The Aplamos outpost is made sturdier, with extensive fortifications and a proper port where ships may drop anchor. The Kalimanians prefer to limit their interactions with you to military help, for now. Some of them, however, listen to cynoces' words and visit your outpost increasingly often, helping out with construction. [Fighting in Aplamos will now provide +10 bonus]
The cavalry soldiers start their training. With horses bred specifically for war, it proceeds quickly. [1/2 50 horsemen training]
The scholars understand that the surrounding world is governed by some unseen laws, but these laws are not limited to physics and mathematics. There is a certain force, a certain power that allows feats of magic yet unknown to your people. The polymaths direct their attention toward this power, but they'll need help of some mages to fully understand it. [1/4 magic study]
Improving tools will take time and experimentation to determine optimal weight and construction for ease of use. [1/4 tool improvement]
You have 458 cynocephales (584 total). Of these, 398 are on the mainland and 60 are in Aplamos.
36 cynocephales are scholars.

>26 + 15 (Lakur's blessing) + 10 (iron weaponry) + 8 (warriors & Amazons) + 5 (Champion of the Gods)
The village, little defended, falls quickly to raiders, who pillage it and capture most of the men as slaves. They seem to have traded for some iron weaponry, which your warriors also seize. Some of the villagers were seen going deeper inland after the raid... [+50 slaves, +80 iron weapons stockpile]
>76
The basilisk's body changes in response to the Horror's pieces... [1/3 ??? project]
The quarry workers start shipping small quantities of stone to your home islands. New weaponry is made out of it, and some is reserved for carving the ghosts' extensive history into. Weapons made out of this stone is better than usual, but not by a lot. [Simple weapons now provide +8 bonus in combat and last until 800 population] [The ghosts' history is imprinted on the stone tablets in pictures. It has some interesting pieces of information, but these require further investigation to bear fruitful data. 1/2 ghost history studying]
The warrior numbers are expanded with new recruits. They are not yet as strong as their superiors, but they're progressing in their training quite well. [40 recruit warriors -- they receive +10 bonus in combat, this can be increased further]
The shrine is expanded, with new wood carvings decorating it. The gods, however, remain silent. If you wish to please them in the future, perhaps a monumant or another task completion is in order. Alternatively, you may make sacrifices to receive minor blessings.
>52
The trade goes on, and you build up a stockpile of iron over the year, but after you make a raid on the coastal village, the traders suddenly stop visiting your isles. Perhaps they got word that you're attacking innocent civilians?..
The Amazons request that you allow them to take some of the men you've enslaved as sex slaves, so that the warrior caste of your tribe may give birth to more Amazons and restore their numbers and past glory.
You have 496 Kugel, 20 Amazons and 50 human slaves.
40 Kugel are Warrior Recruits.
25 Kugel are Warriors.
All Amazons are Warriors.

ANT EMPIRE
The Princess training is finished. Masterful diplomats, they are capable of interacting with the world outside the Hive and defending the Ant Empire's interests.
[5/7 Stage I Great Hive]
The Rite of the Zoanthorpe is performed on the volunteers, the integration of consumed DNA by the Queen into her own, and perfection of these strings so that greater control over the Hive can be exerted. It takes 43 sacrifices, including all of the rebellious Prince Ants, but it is a success. For the foreseeable future, you have secured the Queen's dominance over the Hive.

QUANLI
Both the sugarcane plantation and the lumber forest you've planted are finished now. You should have lumber for the foreseeable future, and sugar supplied for your people's cuisine.
The spice plantations are started, with experienced farmers tending to the exquisite plants. [1/3 spice plantation]
Over the year, the masons construct long lines of aqueducts connecting to your bustling village and lay down the foundations of canalisation. All that's left is to finish it, and organise water supply to the fields in an irrigation system. [2/3 aqueducts & irrigation]
By the time the pirates attack, you produce enough armour to protect half of the tribe (200 Quanli), including all warriors.
The Quanli weave flexible yet strong strings of plant matter and attach them to bent pieces of wood, making bows. Obsidian arrowheads are attached to sticks for arrows, and fletching out of the occasional shot down bird's feathers is made. [This will annull the ranged advantage of the pirates]
Using the knowledge accumulated throughout the years prior to the organisation of the settlement, some of your people begin their education as healers. [1/3 20 healer-herbalist education]
The villagers agree to your alliance proposal. They already know of the pirates, but preferred to keep hidden due to the villagers' weakness and inferior numbers. With your help, however, they may be beaten. They agree to trade dyes as well -- all that remains is to specify what you'll offer in exchange.
At last, during the hot and humid months of summer, a band of pirates attack -- not from the sea, as expected, but from land!..
>78 + 50 (bonuses) = 128 vs. 66 = 41 + 25 (bonuses)
The battle is fierce, and 50 Quanli and several dozen allied villagers lay dead in the streets which you defend against the enemy onslaught, but in time you push back, and soon the pirates rout, retreating to their home base. Giving pursuit, you take over the cove and find a cache of treasure and weaponry! Not only that, you manage to capture 100, half of the attacking force, as slaves, bolstering your workforce. [You have obtained 300 iron weapons] [You have captured 2 galley midships] [You have captured 100 slaves] [You have obtained another stockpile of gold]

DAÍONA TRIBES
[The quarry is established. Stone blocks start coming in by the end of the year, ready to be applied in construction.]
The fundamental knowledge of medicine is formed by those working on it. It is now known which herbs help with which illness, how wounds must be treated, etc. [Early Medicine finished. This will provide +0.02 to pop growth, as well as 15% less casualties in battles]
A school, a place of learning, is constructed. [You may now train scholars or educate the common halfdemon in writing or something else]
Writing on animal skins seems like a better alternative to the hard-to-carve tablets of stone. However, the exact process and ink acquisition needs to be developed further. [1/2 parchment invention]
The city expansion needs to be carried out carefully upwards to retain the protection of walls. It is done over the past year. [Housing will now last until 1600 population]
Some of the halfdemons use their experience fishing in small rivers using nets and try to apply it to open ocean fishing. It'll take another year for them to learn the currents and patterns of fish school movements. [1/2 fishing research]
>91
Your scouts bring with them saplings and seeds of lemongrass, an odd plant in your climate, perhaps a hardier variety of the common one, and flax, which can be made into textiles.
While magic is certainly known to your people -- it was used to summon your ancestor demons to this world, after all -- much of the knowldege has been lost and is retained only in legends. To separate truth from myth, it will take time. [1/2 magic revival]

The scouts report that territories further inland, beyond the stone quarry, are unpopulated, however, there is an extension of the Ent Forest there. Settling this land could anger the treemen.
Smiths practice their craft over the year. With knowledge of alloys and metallurgy boosting their efforts, by the end of the year you have a group of smiths ready to provide your city-state with tools and weaponry.
The idea of aether -- the primordial fifth element, is introduced by Theresa and expanded upon. But that aether, what is it, exactly? Can it be broken down into something? Or is it uniform? This needs further investigation... [1/??? philosophy research]
Another army of Lumesthan approaches your borders, both more numerous and better trained...
>12 + 60 (bonuses) = 72 vs. 126 = 86 + 40 (bonuses)
In spite of the valiant effort of Afanistis, who shredded flesh like water with their brittle claws, and the common halfdemons, manning the impressive fortifications, sacrificing themselves to protect Tylisseutherna from invaders, your city has fallen. The victors dictate their terms -- you must send a quarter of whatever goods you produce to Lumesthan, all slaves freed, and any army must be disbanded. The Afanistis are no more, it seems. Tallying the losses, you determine that 200 halfdemons died in the battle. The nation mourns.

LAGOLANDIA
[You have equipped your warriors with leather armour, and even created a stockpile for future recruits. This will provide a +8 bonus in combat for up to 300 soldiers.]
The stone sling, while simple, is still a fearsome weapon, for a stone hurled at high speeds could very well kill the impacted enemy. The 40 slingers you trained during this year get their weapons from the tanners. As with armour, there is still some stockpile left. [This will provide +8 bonus in combat, lasts until 200 slingers trained.]
The warrior corps, while not exactly the best-trained, are expanded greatly, growing from 40 to 170 in a year in response to the black demon menace.
Writing -- a way to document knowledge other than transmitting it by speech -- would be a welcome addition to the subjects taught at your wisdom hollow. The workers dedicated to this task start forming a system over the year. [1/2 writing research]
[You have constructed a training lair. Here, warriors may be trained to greater heights of their skill.]
[The Lumber Den, an addition to the Woodsrabbit lodge, is built. Here, woodworkers may prepare wood on an industrial scale and practice their craft, producing valuable furniture, tools, or shields for the tribe.]
The warbunnies are armed with shields now. While they are made of simple wood due to lack of metals, they are still better than nothing. [Shields provide +6 bonus in combat. There are enough to equip 300 warriors.]

It is a long task to decorate the entirety of now much-expanded Great Warren and to dig out new air vents while evading the already-established tunnels, but it needs to be done. It'll take another year, however, before this project is fully complete. [1/2 Great Warren improvement]

Planting the newly-found medicinal herbs, you start a plantation for the benefit of your doctor-herbalists. It'll take time for them to mature, though. [1/2 medical herb plantation]
Clerics are trained out of the experienced shrineworkers. These can inspire the warbunnies on the battlefield, call for divine aid if the situation becomes particularly tough, or, if their expertise is expanded to cover medicine, heal the warriors on the frontlines.
The foundations of various sciences -- about life, about machines, about ways of counting, and others -- is being put down by scholars observing the outer world, experimenting and deriving conclusions from these experiments. [1/3 50 scholar training]

Your defences hold against the occasional raid of the dark demons. However, what truly contributes to the growing numbers of casualties is not their attacks on your defended settlements, but rather assault against squads of workers travelling between the eastern stone quarry-outpost and the mainland with its Great Warren. Still, with armed garrisons and escorts, deaths are becoming quite rare. You have lost 20 bunnies this year.
The aurochs domestications is complete. They may now be used as beasts of burden, or for milk and meat.
The orchards are finished, after 3 years of effort. Fruit now regularly appears on your peoples' table.
You have 626 lagomorphs (849 total).

20 Clerics

The youths that have just finished their magical education are immediately sent to war. They bolster the woodland citadel and call upon the tree-brothers with the acolytes, and the forest answers. Its wrath turns upon the undead invaders as they approach your defences.
The workers sent to the trolls for help return with 50 warriors. These are highly-skilled, leather-armoured brutes wielding two-handed hammers, ready to crush flesh and bone under their strikes.
The improvised medics use the medicinal herbs at their disposal to treat ragged wounds and infection that inevitably occurs when rotting flesh goes into gashes. [This will allow more of your men to make it out of the battle]
>56 + 85 (bonuses) = 141 vs. 9 = 19 - 10 (maluses)
The forces of the necromancer, greatly thinned out by your warriors in the initial encounter, are destroyed by the combined wrath of the forest, the elite warriors' blows, the arrows let loose into the rotting corpses, the raging trolls crushing the skulls of the dead, the rituals of the witch-villagers, and many other things on your side. What is important is that you secured yourself a victory, and the necromancer himself is captured, a surprisingly young man with unknown intentions. Tallying the casualties, you find out that 20 of the militia are dead. The armed forces bear several wounded, but none lost.
You have 356 elves and trolls.
Specialists:
20 elite warriors
50 longbowmen & longswords
50 shield and spear/swordsmen
50 blacksmiths
10 acolytes
15 magical assistants
20 bowyers & fletchers

Thank you for running. Even if you don't know if there'll ever be a continuation, it was nice to get some closure on the troublesome pirates before you closed up.
