>Research Wheel
>An enterprising Clan of the Brigantia has invented a device, what they call a "wheel," that can be moved about the ground by rolling. Shortly there after, ox-drawn carts for hauling lumber, ore and other resources become common, vastly increasing yield. To accomadate these carts, a road is built between Yorkshire and Lancaster.

>IMPROVE RELIGION (MONOTHEISM) + EVENT
>Over the ages, the subtle animism of the Brigantians has given way to a new kind of worship. Rather than venerate many spirits, the worship of a single god, represented by the Sun, has become popular, further distinguishing the Brigantians from the Picts to the North, who still worship the spirits of Nature. To accommodate the worship of the Sun, a Calendar Henge has been constructed just outside of Yorkshire.
>The development of this new way of theological thought has spurred unrest in Brigantia, as a few Clans still hold onto the old ways. Unless a new method of governance can be developed, one that can keep the Clans in check, stability is sure to errode over time.

Improve Culture
Let's get some kind of government going. Not very verse in governments/politics so I guess the earliest we'd get would be a Council or something.

>>44984451
>Improve Culture (Government)
>In an effort to maintain stability, the government of Brigtania is reorganized. Instead of each Clan sending a representative to the Clan Moot, only the most presitious clans are allowed to send representation. In addition, custom now dictates that only Clan Elders may be sent as representatives. Since the Clans are now too busy competing with each other to resent the Tribal Government, Stability has been restored.

They call themselves Albans and aparently follow the same sort of Animism once practiced in Brigantia and still practiced in Pictavia. They are still relatively primitive and despite living in a metal rich area, have yet to discover metal working.

Construction. Refine building and masonry. Allows the combination of wood and stone, adds iron and other metals to the builders' toolbox. Enables the use of hardened clay bricks all of which allow for taller, multi-floor buildings of varied shapes that would have collapsed otherwise.

>Counterattack
>The Brigantian warband, 450 men strong marches on Pictavia. The battle is over before it even began and the village offers very little resistance, quickly surrendering. It seems the main Pict force has retreated further North to a rumored "hillfort village". The Council of Elders elects to rename Pictavia to Glasgow and sends settlers to the newly conquered village.

> Introduce Currency
> In order to help manage trade between villages, the practice of using decoratively painted clay beads as a means of exchange has become widely popular. Chains of bead called "Strands" are now the major unit of exchange. The introduction of currency has made growth and trade more efficient, but has further increased inequality in Brigantia.

MAJOR EVENT!
The unrest caused by the addition of Glasgow to Brigtania and the stress of an increasingly stratified society causes a riot in Yorkshire during a Clan Moot. The Clans are increasingly dissatisfied with the Council and it becomes clear that something, anything, must be done before villages start to slip from the influence of Brigtania. A number of proposals are fielded by the various Clans:

A. Clan MacKenzie - Tribal Monarchy
A King shall rule over us, elected by majority vote of the Clans. The Council of Elders will shift to an advisory role, though they will retain some judicial power.

B. Clan Strathclyde - Tribal Oligarchy
The Council shall remain in power, but no longer restricted by age, instead decided by power and influence.

C. Clan Dunedain - Tribal Republic
All settlements shall sent representatives to the Moot as well as the Clans, thus ensuring each Village has a voice as well. The Council of Elders will become the Clan Council instead and will no longer be limited to Elders.

what other civ thread?

>>44986964
>>44986689
In the precious thread, one of the soldiers decided after kicking ass in our first battle, he should be King and ousted the Council.
The very next turn the Council and some soldiers rebelled, the king died, a Council member died, and we lost our entire elite forces.

>>44986995
>2 votes for a republic, 1 for monarchy
I've been outvoted any way guys relax

We need a King with pure Yorkshire roots to establish a proper caste system, and keep the other clans in their place

I see I vote republic then

>>44987132
Same thing isn't gonna happen here, each CIV thread finds its own path, thats why they are fun, right?

EVENT CONTINUED!
It is decided that the Clans shall reorganize into themselves into a Republic. Each Village will elect a High Chief that governs that Village and selects two delegates to send to Yorkshire. In addition, each Clan is allowed a delegate at the Moot. The Council is reformed as well, made up of the most prestigous delegates, voted upon when the Moot convenes. The Council serves until the start of the next Moot. There is discussion about how to conduct these Moots, and a number of Clans have made suggestions:

A. Clan MacKenzie - The Winter Solstice
On the shortest day of the year, the Clans shall convene in Yorkshire to make decisions for the upcoming year.

B. Clan Strathclyde - As Needed
Moots are called whenever a majority of the High Chiefs decide a Moot must be called. Moots shall be held in Yorkshire.

C. Clan Dunedain - The Coming of Spring, In Every Village
Clan Dunedain suggests that the Moot be called at the coming of Spring, and that it alternate between villages, ensuring no individual village enjoys total privilege.

We should consolidate York as the capital. All meetings held in York - plus, it is central to our current area of influence

we already adopted the Dunedain form of government, we don't want them to take too much credit

We are as scatered as the clan elders

Next you'll be advocating the division of labour in manufacturing

>>44987202

Why not everyone of the

We do it on the winter solstice each year in a diferent city and mettings can be called in times of emergency on the last city it was held

>>44987399
I am okay with this compromise

Given enough turns the clans will unite culturally to one people. Traversing terrain, trading, migrating. It won't take long and this will be over.

EVENT FINISHER!
OOC: Seems like everyone was pretty divided, so here's the compromise solution.

Brigantia is now the Republic of Brigantia. The Moot shall convene every Winter Solstice, the beginning of the Brigantian Year, alternating between villages each year. The Council will still keep residence in Yorkshire over the course of the year however, out of respect for tradition, and such Yorkshire will hold a special place in Brigantian Society. Finally, is the discussion of who shall keep watch over the Republic itself and ensure corruption is not tolerated. A number of Clans have made suggestions:
A. Clan MacKenzie - A Grand Chief
The High Chief of Yorkshire shall serve as Grand Chief possesing authority on the level of the Council itself. He shall also be the supreme commander of the armed forces.

B. Clan Strathclyde - The First Clans
Clans Strathclyde, Mackenzie and Dunedain shall have permanent seats on the Council and greater authority at Moots. After all, they were the first clans to settle Brigantia.

C. Clan Dunedain - The People
By mandate of the People, the Council may be cleared, even midway through the year, if unrest has become too high and a Moot will be held immediately.

> The Moot has ended and the Republic of Brigantia is born. Both the High Chiefs and the Clans shall send Representatives to the Moot every Winter Solstice. The Moot shall be held in a different Settlement each year, after which the elected Council shall rule from Yorkshire. If the People lose confidence in the Council, a Moot may be called at any point in the year.
