>Actions
Each turn you can do 1 of 2 actions

Expand/Migrate your species
Roll 1d3+1, the score is the maximum amount of tiles your species can expand to. Choose ONE tile with your species on the map, that's currently thriving. Thriving means you're the topmost creature on the tile, and you can only expand from thriving tiles unless you have special traits. This is your main/primary tile. From that single tile, you may expand to immediately adjacent tiles, based on your roll.

Alternatively, /instead/ of rolling, you may choose any species and move them up to two tiles in any direction. This is a 'Migration' and removes them from the chosen tile.

Evolve your species
Choose a species on a tile that you want to evolve, then choose 1 attribute to improve of the 6 base attribute: Environment, Size, Sensors, Camouflage, Digestion, Toxic.
according to your fluff and roll, your species will also receive a special evolution trait that will change their playstyle and help them. You must have at least 3 of a species on the map, in order to evolve them.

Attach an image to show what this new generation looks like, and then roll a d100. It's mandatory to include the roll along with describing what change/trait you want. This is to prevent players rolling first, and then changing their entire move or deciding the attribute based on the roll. If you roll first, without describing the change or choosing a trait, you lose your turn. On the flipside, it's okay to describe your creature's evolution, and THEN roll afterwards. Nothing wrong with that.

More detailed rules are in the op image, and there'll be a second post to clarify some things. Please feel free to ask for clarification if there's anything you'd like to know.

>Secondary Action
Whether you chose Evolve or Expand, you can then perform secondary expansions with every species that did not participate in the Main action. So if you expand a Gen 1 creature, your Gen 2s, Gen 3s, and Gen 4s may expand by 1 tile each, to an adjacent tile. Refer to the infographic.

Here's a guide on how to take your turn. PLEASE attach a photo when you do, with arrows pointing to expansions. If you do not clearly express your expansion with an image, I won't be changing it if I misinterpret portions of the turn.

And if you evolve, please clearly state what attribute you're changing. Flavor text is encouraged, but at least add in the plain term in brackets.

Game timeline:

At turn 4, I'll roll a special World Event. Three tiles on the map, marked out, have Sinkholes on them. This event will involve the Sinkholes.

At turn 6, I'll begin to roll for a crisis. A crisis is a disaster that will potentially affect multiple tiles on the map, and usually have ill effects for the species on them. Each turn, I'll be rolling 1d6+x, with x being the amount of turns that have passed without a crisis. On a 6, a crisis occurs. And on the turn the third crisis hits, the game immediately ends, and the winner is determined.

Alternatively, the game will end a turn after every single tile on the map contains at least one species.

I'm hoping to get 10 players before we start out, since I do anticipate 1 or 2 dropouts as usual.

Ah, right. I knew I was missing something. I forgot to add a small rule and remove things from the OP.

Ignore the part about 'Marshes', 'Forest', and 'Mountain', we're not using that this game.

And the new rule is:

>If a player leaves the game, their creatures are considered to have -1 for ALL attributes. This way, if a player quits, other creatures are able to outcompete them, and thus aren't blocked in by inactive creatures. If the player returns several turns later, they maintain this debuff for one turn after they come back.

IG: If there is a different creature on this tile that cannot eat, or be eaten by this species, it gains a sapience trait, which is as follows:

TAG: INTELLIGENCE. When expanding into a tile, you can choose species on that tile which you will refrain from eating. Species with this trait may ignore 1 trait of another species with an intelligence tag. If there are multiple, you may only negate the one least helpful to ignore.

This trait only lasts as long as the creature is sharing a tile with a Cognitolith. If they are on a tile with no Cognitolith, they immediately lose sapience. On a tile where a Cognitolith is granting sapience, but is not thriving nor being eaten, they count as having 0.5 thriving tiles.

>## NEW TURN
Turn 3. Happy New Year, guys! 36 hours from now, I'll post the next turn. Next turn, the World Event will take place. I'll roll it and describe it at the start of that turn, and at the end of turn 4, the changes will be reflected on the map after everybody's actions.

Actions:

>Expand/Migrate
Choose a tile where you are thriving and roll 1d3+1 to expand (Remember to attach an image so instructions are unmistakable). You have a secondary expansion with all species that don't use the main action. (UNCLEAR TURNS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED)

or

>Evolve
Choose a tile with your species, draw and describe their next evolution on that tile! (Choose one attribute to increase outright, and then depending on what you've written for lore, I'll assign a trait. IF YOU DO NOT PICK AN ATTRIBUTE PROPERLY, OR CHOOSE AN INVALID ONE, YOUR ATTRIBUTE WILL BE WASTED.)

Adult worms are not picky in their hosts, though the eggs and larvae still need water to survive. Land animals that come into contact with the ocean waters are infected, and spread eggs when they drink water or bathe. The hitchhiker worms have reached the coast.

>>5104124

The Ooklings glide across the shallows in search for new lands to flourish in. Meanwhile, a population begins trying to eke out a living by the seaside, but the water clogs their feathers and stops them from surviving.

>>5104142
>>5104148

The winds blow the Drifflins far away from their ancestral home, allowing them to spread across the land. They find little success hovering over the ocean, and the Cognitoliths stop them from eating by guiding their wards to safety. But finally, they head south and discover an island where they can thrive.

>>5104312
>>5104315

The shrooms spread across the land. However, their territory is soon contested by wild monkeys. Down in the volcanic plains, they rapidly multiply and feed off the fertile ash.

>>5105003
>>5105006

The Nahtaka expand outwards, and their body structure helps prevent the parasites from latching on to them. They find great success in the Northern seas, in the cold waters by the Arctic ice floes.

>>5105058
>>5105067

Effigies saturate the seas, resting on the seafloors and being carried by the currents, or on the backs of sea creatures. The reach of these ancient artifacts grow.

>>5105168

Cannibalising their ancestors, the Vhipar thrive over them as they move upwards. However, on the equator, they find themselves unable to displace the Tatoes that have grown their roots deep into the soil, for they were here first and have already claimed dominance.

>>5105457
>>5105460

Shifting clouds of ash and dust billow across the wastelands, claiming them for the species. A population moves onto land, where they struggle to get used to the different materials available.

>>5105468

The eggs of this species become widespread, infecting nearly anything they come across. Even the sanctity of the shallows and lands are broken, and they begin invading rivers and inland ponds.

>World event!
There are three sinkholes. Left, centre, right. Every turn, I'll roll a 1d3 for each hole. On a 3, that hole spits out an ANCIENT CREATURE at the end of the turn. If it is not adapted to the tile type of the sinkhole, it emerges on an adjacent tile instead. These are powerful entities that once ruled the world, and have since retreated into the hollow-earth pockets. They're all size 3 and have special traits, as well as the ability to thrive self-sufficiently at size 3 on tile types they're adapted to. A sinkhole only spawns a creature once. These creatures will attempt to expand and migrate until they have at least 4 thriving tiles on the map at the end of the turn, prioritising tiles with other species, and then stop all further action. They also permanently stop acting if they have zero thriving tiles at any point.

Specific sinkholes will spawn different creatures, depending on their capability to survive on adjacent tiles. The four possible creatures are:

>1: Ancient Hunter-
This creature has 3 digestion, but two in other stats and can eat creatures the same size as it. It's able to expand up to two tiles away using flight, and upon migration, leaves behind a grub token that has 1 in all stats and can eat creatures the same size. Can survive on Volcanic tiles.

>2: Titanic Grazer-
This herbivore takes up 2 spaces on a tile, has 3 toxic, and two in other stats. It's considered to be eating if it has higher or equal sensors and digestion than anything else on the tile, and is not being eaten. Can survive on Ocean and Land tiles.

>3: Apex Predator-
Nothing escapes the gaze of this beast. It has 3 sensors and 3 digestion, but 1 toxic and 1 camouflage. It ignores all TRAITS that make a creature harder to eat/hunt (Extra Toxic through traits, hard shells, etc.). Can survive on Ocean tiles.

>4: Colossal Stalker-
A carnivore that has 3 camouflage and two in other stats. It can hunt if its camouflage is higher than or equal to the sensors of prey, and can eat creatures the same size as it. Can survive on Ocean and Volcanic tiles.

Comes a cry, pillars erupting from the devastation, colored with hand-forged gold, wrapped and cracked with the march of time.

>...ET NOS, PROMETHEUS, SALTARE NOS COEGIT...

A sinkhole opens below, revealing the hidden crucible of this construct. Its 'eye' more lively then the rest. The beasts do not meet its gaze. Then they do.

>...HEREDES SUMUS...

Compelled, they move to the crucible, and breathe in its ash.

>...NOLI RESISTERE...

Their eyes filled. They heard old sounds, felt old texture. They saw the empires of old, and the destruction of it all. Swamps of purple, tainted with lumbering beasts. Ashen dragons, like slithering volcanoes. They understood... They understood it all.

The Forges of the Mind reawaken in the volcanoes, sharing distant memories of the past, and scarce shreds of the future, to all who dare look. Forge Followers seem particularly fanatical.

Just to clarify, the epidemic trait works on the first two expansions on your turn. But it doesn't add extra actions or anything. Not sure if you interpreted it as such, but just in case, using it like that puts you two tiles away, rather than a +2.

The gigantic crab watches as the flocks of trailing anchors move North. It cries out in rage at its failure to procure food. As it reaches peak size, the body of the beast breaks apart into a swarm of lesser crabs. Its cloned progeny spread out into the surrounding sea, preying off the delectable creatures native to their subterranean world.

>>5107455
>>5107458
The Nahtaka, meanwhile, are able to flourish in the open ocean. The population to the East has zero competition, and enjoys peaceful waters.

>>5107459
Shrooms cake the land like grass, replacing much of the native fauna. A population attempts to settle in the swamps, but a flood of monkeys quickly pick them clean, rendering them extinct before they can become permanent fixtures. And down south, a group of Shrums find themselves... Awakening consciousness.

>>5107767
>>5107779

By placing their eggs on the migratory Driff, the Hitchhiker worms spread their larvae all the way to the other end of the island, as well as doing the same to the Nahtaka. It's rare to see any wildlife without the telltale purple splotches of infection, in these regions. Infected fish continue spreading towards the Arctic seas.

>>5107900

The Ankorlins escape the Ancient beast, finding a fresh bounty of Nahtaka up by the coast. While the swimming beasts are able to avoid the nets, the Ankorlin pursues relentlessly, and is somehow able to detect and catch them reliably. Others make their way onto the volcanoes, but as they trail their nets across the ash, dirt and silt sullies them, rendering them unable to hunt and thrive.

>>5108036
>>5108024

The Dust return to the volcanic plains to feed off their younger brethren. The land is saturated with food for them already, and they have no trouble thriving despite their size. What a difference legs make!

>>5107667
>>5108167

The Ooklings convene in the swamp all at once, filling it with their chattering and bright feathers. The mushrooms are overcrowded by it, and are denied the swamplands. The spore-using relatives continue scoping out the volcanoes. Down below, the original Ooklings encounter a strange monolith as well, and their minds are suddenly flooded with new information.

>>5108183

Effigies drift across the waves like messages in bottles. The Cognitoliths continue awakening in unfortunate spots, but the unstable Forges eventually crack open the ground beneath the plains and rise to the surface to strike a bargain with the native monkeys.

Back home, the Tatos continue spreading and growing, becoming the dominant plant species in many places. Their inedible nature makes it hard for other creatures to find food, and the nutrients in the region are largely locked within their tubers. Some, who are preyed on by the Vhipar, are deposited in fertile volcanic soil. The Sweetato grow well in the shallow water between the two landmasses. While these aren't quite the same as mangrove swamps anymore, the watery tropics along the equator provide a wonderful spot for these plants to flourish. However, not even the plants are spared from the influence of the ancient Obelisks, and they find themselves awakening to new feelings and sensations as well...

>>5109352

And finally, the Vhipar expand outwards. They peel the potatoes on the volcanic plains, rendering them extinct by eating all the new sprouts. However, the ash chokes them in turn, and they fail to flourish despite having the ability to butcher anything else. On land, a similar situation takes place. They pick the Hitchhikers off their hosts and feast on them, but quickly fall prey to the lack of moisture, and the blazing sun.

>## NEW TURN
Turn 6. 48 hours for this turn as well! Crisis events will begin now, and as mentioned, they'll be nerfed compared to previous games, due to the Titans fulfilling a similar purpose to them. I'll be rolling for sinkhole activation, crab expansion, and then crisis activation. Not a very good time for the planet!

Actions:

>Expand/Migrate
Choose a tile where you are thriving and roll 1d3+1 to expand (Remember to attach an image so instructions are unmistakable). You have a secondary expansion with all species that don't use the main action. (UNCLEAR TURNS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED)

or

>Evolve
Choose a tile with your species, draw and describe their next evolution on that tile! (Choose one attribute to increase outright, and then depending on what you've written for lore, I'll assign a trait. IF YOU DO NOT PICK AN ATTRIBUTE PROPERLY, OR CHOOSE AN INVALID ONE, YOUR ATTRIBUTE WILL BE WASTED.)

Rolling to see if the left and right sinkhole activates. Next turn, the actual Crisis Events will begin! For new players, they're events that affect different parts of the world, and will typically have bad effects on creatures not adapted to them. Though, the severity will be reduced compared to previous games, due to the presence of the Ancients.

Rolled 3 + 1 (1d3 + 1)

Rolling for crab. Crisis roll will be 1d6 this turn, with another +1 to the modifier for every turn after where it does not happen. Upon three happening, the world ends.

>1: Volcanic eruption
1d2 random volcanic wasteland tiles erupts, killing everything on it. Species on nearby tiles that are not in ocean, not adapted to volcanic environment and over size 1 will go extinct too.

>2: Meteor strike
1d10 random tiles will be hit by meteors, killing anything on those tiles. New "Crater" tile will be created as a new subtype biome of the tile it is on, craters can sustain life up to +1 size and allow 2 different species to thrive within. If meteor hits ocean nothing happens, if it hits shallows the species get eradicated but a "crater" wont be created.

>3: Rise of the Kraken
A "Kraken" species spawn in a random ocean tile. They have the size of 4, and 1d4+1 point in each attribute (rolling 5d4 to check)
They have a trait which allows them to exist self sufficiently in size 4 on water. They eradicate everything they eat, and are eradicated if eaten.
They expand 1 tile in a random direction that has a species on it each turn. They stop expanding when there are 4 Krakens on the map.

>4: Alien probe
An alien ship probes the planet, and abducts 1 tile with a thriving population from each player. Players get to choose which thriving species they give away. If they do not choose, the aliens abduct one at-will.

>5: Tsunami floods
1d2 land tiles adjacent to oceans will become "Shallows", all species on adjacent ocean tiles will automatically migrate into the shallow tile.

The effigies reach a new coast. And encounter a new species. This, a step on their quest to raise the minds of the world.

>...A paciscor percussus est...

One mutters as its form mingles with the flesh of their new travelling companion. Its voice is soft, gentle, ready to understand and ready to learn.

>...Simul nos vigemus...

The form was fragile, and would be hard to spread with. Flesh was weak, but weakness was malleable.

And stone, was certain. Stone was strong and sturdy. Stone could hold life just as well as flesh. The effigies knew this well, as did their host.

Fate twists, the plants find themselves as soil for a new type of growth. Monolith sprouts from their internals and connects through them. Together, they will be strong. Together, they will thrive.

The legions of Hexcrabs expand throughout the ocean, preying on everything in their path. Finally, they stop, turning the region around the sinkhole into a dangerous no-man's-land. Their predation renders the Nahtaka extinct in one region, coupled with the Ankorlin's hunting.

Drifting along above the ocean, the Ankorlins find peace in the Ocean, and plentiful food. In places, they're outcompeted by other species, but they're faring better than they were a short while ago. The ancient eggs that they've left behind have also started hatching, filling the skies with new generations.

The worms continue filling the seas. On land, however, they lose a huge amount of ground to emerging predators, who prey on them easily. While certain populations are still able to leech off hosts and expand, they've lost dominance, and the population who wandered southeast have gone completely extinct due to predation from the drifting nets.
