to recap your person:

You're Astanos, and you do not have a profession other than doing your civic duty as a Hoplite.

You have six slaves as well as, in your care, the childboy Mentes and your dead brother's wife. He was Atys, she is Protage.

You currently honour Hades alone, and under the temple, the corpse of the cyclops Thantios lies.

>>1115783
>start a ritual of morning worship to Hades at the temple if this is not already done
>Have slave begin work on building their own quarters
>Go to town and see if you cannot purchase more live stock
Sup

>>1115791
>>Have slave begin work on building their own quarters
the manor house has quarters for them already. I understand however, if you want some of them to live segregated to you, as the Spartans would do it.

>>1115779
We need grape seeds, to grow grapes for wines.
We should also prepare more of our lands for farming.

>>1115792
Ah. I didn't realize they already had quarters.
I'll change the build suggestion to
>Have the slaves begin work on expanding our crops and working the field
and add buying some seeds to the last part too.

>>1115795
>>1115794
so it seems we will take the journey to one of the towns this week.

There are two in a reasonable distance, though both of them will require quite some time to reach on foot.

>Vedina
is, you are told, a town of merchants - Profiteers that pray to Hermes and Hera, fat and decadent and on bad standing with the descendants of Kodros because of their secluded nature

>Peres
, further south, is the home of warmongers. A city of warriors and scoundrels that have rejected Athena in favour of Hades and pray to Poseidon wholly for their galleys not to sink. They are murderous and dangerous, surely not as well stocked as the markets of Vedina, but also less cunning buisnesspeople.

Where do you intend to make the travel to?

>>1115800
>Vedina
This could be a good chance to bury the hatchet at least. We're going to need a good reputation with the merchants if we want to thrive.

>>1115802
Supporting
>>1115800
Also whats up op. Ready and hyped

>>1115800
>>1115802
Seconded. Gotta sell our wares someplace, and the Peresites might try to steal it outright.

>>1115805
Yeah, the only thing Peres has over Vedina is open worship of Hades, but I feel like that wouldn't keep them from fucking us anyways.

>>1115806
We should consider rivaling them tbqh. They seem like dicks, we should be trying to support pur patron god not hurt his repputation from being uncivilized

>>1115809
>>1115804
Also ill be having changing ids throughout the thread. Sorry about that.

>>1115802
>>1115804
>>1115805
The journey to vedina will take some time, though you could reach it and be back within a fortnight.

After morning worship to Hades, your slaves begin tiling a new field, though it most likely wont be suitable for the expected seeds of grape. For them to yield any sizeable harvest you'd need a proper sloped hillside.

>This week you will be able to leave commands, but not do anything yourself until you're at Vedina.

>>1115809
I don't think it would look good for Hades if his worshipers were set against each other. Not to mention it's a battle we'd lose.
I think the best course of action is to distinguish ourselves from them entirely and expand without bothering with them.

>>1115814
>Make a fence surrounding the main complex
>Begin to slash and burn some undergrowth in the forrest

>>1115815
Good point

>>1115814
Command the slaves to do the follow;
>Continue to till the field
>Begin looking for a sloped hillside to claim as well
As for us when we reach Vedina;
>Look for seeds, livestock, and possibly new slaves.

>>1115817
Btw the reason i say to get rid of the undergrowth is to make humting and timber farming easier. The alternative would be herb collecting and identifying before we destroy the ground layer stuff, but we dont really have the knowledge anyways.

>>1115818
Supporting the vedina stuff, as for livestock i suggest we get more female goats.

>>1115817
Could you Elaborate a bit more on the specifics of the fence?
Should it be wooden or Stone? Knee-high or higher, and most importantly, where exactly would you place it?
Not saying i'm taking this one, just interested how it should be if this reaches consensus

>>1115824
Wooden, shoulder hieght, thick enough to not be knocked over, small spikes at the top. Not a palisade mind you, moreso a mini one. To prevent theives really.

>>1115825
Actually screw this, just fence off the second field with an animal pen instead.

You intend to purchase Seeds, Slaves and livestock (particularly female goats) in Vedina.

Is there a Consensus what the slaves are to do while you're gone?

>>1115830
Well i personally stand by my votes. Roll 2d2 to decide ic its still a stalemate.

>>1115830
I'll go with >>1115827
as for what the slaves are to do while we're out.
Don't forget to tell Mentes to keep a watchful eye on the property.

>>1115832
>>1115833
Alright, will update shortly.

>>1115827
Once more a question, do you mean surrounding the second field with an animal pen, or just have another animal pen adjacent to it?

>>1115835
Well mabye extend the fence we already have to the second one, or just make an entirely seperate one. And yes i nean surrounding the field

>>1115836
>mean

>>1115836
Actually extending it would be better because we can plant olive trees in the space between the fields to seperate them

>>1115840
Yes. Olives are important.

So you arrive in Vedina.

The town is a sprawling one, with an outter wall surrounding the houses of its people and another for the palace. Statues to Hermes line the streets and the whole town appears to be a market.

You're greeted as if an ambassador to another city - with distain, but respect, and instead of letting you browse the market, a delegate of the town speaks to you, asking you what you are planning to spend your coin on.

>>1115843
and the right version too

>>1115843
Mostly agriculteral produce, seeds and the like. Along with some animals. I plan on expanding my manor. Additionally some slaves wouldnt hurt

>>1115846
this

Back at the Villa your slaves make haste to finish the field before your return, which leaves them with a little time to look for a suitable place to grow the Grapes.

Can you roll me a d100 for finding an ideal sloped hillside. (best of first 2)

>>1115843
Sure, we can tell him the truth, as >>1115846
But also, ask, diplomatically, what business it is of his what a free man spends his coin on.

>>1115846
>>1115847
>>1115851
The Councilman seems offended by your initial hesitation to declare your intentions. Flustered he begins spitting about how they intended to please Zeus by showing hospitality, which they needn't do at all with the likes of you.
He rambles on about how a free city can refuse anyone, even a free man entrance if they wish it.

You patiently wait for his fit to subside and explain that you simply intended to meet with the merchants directly. Mistaking his hospitality for intrigue.

He nods thoughtfully and you soon reach a common ground and begin talking about your wares and prices
Roll for negotiations. Beat the roll. 1d100, Bo2

Meanwhile, a suitable place for the grapevines is found, pointing almost directely south, and the fences are expanded.

Rolled 33 (1d100)

>>1115862
>>1115872
So you try and haggle with the man, but he brings some convincing arguments about the state of the market and prices of wine, that you end up agreeing on these prices:


A slave would be: 750
enough grape seeds for a vinyard: 300
Grain for a regular field: 200
One week worth of food: 150
a goat: 400
A cow: 600
A house at the city: 3000
some shiny armour (to add to what you already have): 1500

>what do you buy?

and:

>what do you build for next week?

>>1115880
>3 goats
>2 slaves
>grain
>grape seeds
need more slaves to work the fields

>>1115882
>>1115880
Oh, and we should expand the pens for the animals a bit.

>>1115880
2 slaves, seeds for 3 grain fields and 2 female goats. We should have 100 leftover fron the 3000 we started with.

>>1115886
Actually cut one grain off and add a grape, thatle get rid of all the money, we already have one field growing anyways.

>>1115884
Good point
>>1115882
I want at least three grain fields going, its exessive but sacrifices are important.

>>1115887
Reporting.

Supporting this.

>>1115880
Goat x2: 800
Grains x2: 400
Grapes x1: 300
Slave x1: 750
Week of food x1: 150
Total: 2400

We don't really produce enough food yet to be at able to support more than one extra slave

>>1115880

see the price of a horse (so this trip can be shorter in the future)

buy seeds for a vineyard and a regular field, 3 goats

don't buy slaves for now, we have enough and another mouth to feed might strain us

>>1115891
One of the first things i wanna do is slash and burn the undergrowth to make hunting easier and make a third field.
See >>1115869
If we follow this plan of action no one goes hungry and we can still sacrifice.

>>1115882
>>1115886
>>1115891

guys, don't buy slaves now, we are dependant on hunting to feed them until the fields grow, we should invest on food production before more mouths unless we want a famine on our hands

>>1115893
a horse is 1500

>>1115898
Its fiiiiine, food just needs to be top priority thats all. And it already was, really

>>1115896
>>1115898
The way I'm figuring it, we have 2 slaves/grainfield, a slave and a sister-in-law for the vineyard, and two boys for the goats.

>>1115899
>>1115901

why don't we change the 2 slaves for a horse so we can make more regular trips to this town to eventually pick up the slaves later?

>>1115882
>>1115886
>>1115887
>>1115890
>>1115891
>>1115893
I realize its difficult to reach a Consensus with this many available Options.
What i gathered so far is:
>2 Slaves
>2 Grain
>2 Female Goats
>1 Grape

However because of numerous other opinions i'd like to call for a vote. Either Support this, or discuss amongst yourself a bit further.
If you bring in new suggestions it would help a bunch to list them using >

>>1115880

also ask him when is the next trade caravan scheduled to pass around that region?

A real small thing we should consider getting in addition to more fields:
>a quern
And perhaps expanding the smokehouse to have a little bakery oven
So we dont have to eat just damn grain
>>1115904
Take the goat down to one we have enough manpower
>>1115905
Well get a horse next time we visit

>>1115907
Do we really need that one slave guys?

>>1115907

>2 grains
>2 female goats
>2 grapes
> a horse
> a slave


I don't want slaves but anons want so I added one,
The horse is to make the trip to town easier so we can bring wine to sell when we have
Grains and goats for food cheese

>>1115914
Why 2 grapes? We only have one field and if we were to find another one we could just buy an extra with the horse

>>1115910
2 slaves a field is pretty efficient. Two fields and hunting will absolutly be enough

>>1115914
This is good, i justwant two slaves.

Can we forego the wine right now?

>>1115914
Hmm, with a horse to help plow, we probably wouldn't need the extra slave.

>>1115918
Thats a really good point, they dont need grain for feeding and making a post for it should be free.

But we dont have a plow

>>1115917
We need wine posthaste, for the satyr if nothing else. But also because it'll boost morale, and is very marketable.

>>1115917
>>1115916

the grapes and wine will be our source of income, so we can expand the temple town further.

we should get two now and focus ourselfs on hunting, we stay put and produce food until they are ready

I can let go of the horse as I don't see us doing much traveling with all the hunting we are going to have to do to feed all these people

>>1115922
And we would only need to plow one or two extra fields, at least immediately.

>>1115923
>>1115924
Okay, good points. We can sell the grapes for a horse or two later

>Horse
>2 Grain
>2 Goat
>1 Grape
Totals to 3000

>>1115926
The issue is the wine press... oh bloody hell ill make a plan right now.

>>1115926
>>1115924
>>1115923
>>1115922
>>1115918
>>1115917
>>1115916


so, how about this...

>2 grains
>2 goats
>2 grapes
>1 slave

Alright it appears we have general agreement on:
> 2 Grain
> 2 Goat (female)

Discussion seems only about
> slaves
> horse
> grapes.

>>1115929
for the sake of my sanity, this is what I'm taking.

So you are traveling back with 2 goats, 2 grape seed barrels, 1 slave and 2 grain seed barrels. you're on your way home

You begin to expand your pen anyways, as your first field starts bearing fruit.

It is sacrifice week.

And you are not at the temple. What should Protage sacrifice in your stead?

>>1115944
we consume 3 food and produce only one, the fields won't produce food instantly, and the milk won't come until at least 2 weeks (one for travel one for goatfucking) so the risk is very real if our hunts are not succesful

>>1115945

Luxury unit? and one food unit?

>>1115947
Fair enough, but its one week with insufficient food. Not a biggie if we ration.

>>1115945
Can the protige bleed himself by the palm?

>>1115949
you have the potential to produce more luxury units and food units, not actual ones.

>>1115950
>Can the protige bleed himself by the palm?
I don't get this reference. But your sister in law is named Protage.

>>1115949
Actually this is good

>>1115951
Its not a reference. I though our protige was our son. And if pur sister can sacrifice a bit of her blood to sweeten the deal i would be down with that

>>1115945
also, that money should read 1450

>>1115952
sure, either her or the boy you brought might cut themselves, but it won't make for an impressive sacrifice. The goat of last month was a pretty damn strong sacrifice, and you wouldn't need to sacrifice this strongly again. But just a bit of blood is the other extreme.

>>1115945

>>1115956
How about the antlers and fur from the stag with food and our families blood on the side?

>>1115961
Charon. The ferryman that works for our patron, Hades.

>>1115961
I assume he means Charon, ferryman over the river styx. a fine sacrifice that would be.

>>1115962
this is around what one would expect from an average sacrifice. or a unit of food, for example.

>>1115958

Protage, awaiting your arrival sees the sun set on the last day of sacrifice week, and so she takes Mentes and two slaves, gathers the iron reserve you have left back at home, 200 drachma in silver, and travels up the hill, to the temple of Hades.

Inside, the light coming from the window above the black statue of the underworld king colours everything red, harmonizing the white marble with the ever roaring fire.

She calls to Hades "I bring a sacrfice to you, that Charon may bring you souls too unfortunate to pay the toll!" and throws the bag of money into the fire.

Immediately, the cloth evaporates in the heat, and like parchment, the silver coins follow suit, becoming bright and wrinkled, then ash, then nothing at all. No smoke is emitted throughout.
Alright, roll me a 1d100, best of 2, to see how Hades liked it!

On the last day of the week, on your way home, you sleep uneasily.

In your dreams, you are enveloped by a dense mist, a smoke that obscures the world around you. There is nothing tangible, and even yourself seem to have lost all object like qualities, a breath more than a man.

And there in the distance, a figure appears.

A god calls out to you.

"Astanos" you hear. "Come, Astanos, that I may reveal to you the game of the gods."

>what do you do

Walk towards the figure, say 'quite the honor, i thank thee'

Through some movement of what you are, you close the distance, but instead of finding yourself any closer to the spectre, it merely gains clarity.

Not Hades appears to you.

Instead, there is a woman, on a throne sits there, a fruit in the one hand, and a torch in another.

The void speaks: "I am Persephone, Queen of the underworld, herald of winter and mother of spring. You have favour with my husband as you honour the memory of his basterd son justly.
As a favoured subject of this brother of Zeus however, you have gained the attention of other Olympians, some favourable - as I am - and some vengefully, such as my mother, Demeter.
I come to you to tell you that Hades will reward you, but his rewards are cold and deathly. If you seek to advance your station in the world, devotion and sacrifice to other gods is in your highest interest. Rewards of gods manifold will assure your dominance upon Kodros.
And dominance you shall have.
Only remember: Every ally you make will bring enemies, and even abstaining is a decision."

The goddess, the only thing in this world of yours, looks coldly from a faceless visage. You know you could wake up.

>do you wake up?
>Or do you stay and try to attain more information?

>>1115994

I think our personal action should be hunt every week, and on the last 2 weeks we should hunt with snares to try and catch a live animal for sacrifice

>>1115997
Noted

>>1115996

Witch gods may view my alliance with Hades as positivew? so I can honor them properly too

>>1115996
'I very much appreciate your kindness. Indeed i shall take your advice to heart, for my patron is hades and you know him quite well'
Then exchange pleasantries and wake up

>>1115996
Ask what we could do to please her, and ease the wrath of her mother, Demeter.

>>1116000
Most gods dont like hades if i remember correctly. Thats why there is disdain for hades worshipers

>>1116003
Also so much this

>>1116000
"His brothers will see you fondly, but might want to tempt you away from him. Be cautious however to follow their call, as the brothers on the thrones play a game of oneupmanship that might spell your doom.
Ares however, Artemis and Aphrodite might be more safer divines to favour, albeit less mighty.
>>1116003
I, as all gods, appreciate sacrifices, but above all, a temple, a mark of mine upon the world. During the winter, I may hear your prayers to Hades even, as that is the time when I am with my husband.
My mother I fear you could only appease by rejecting Hades. Anything else would be therapy not cure.

And thus you wake up.

You arrive at your homestead at the start of week 9.

>Reply to this with what you're gonna do next


I WILL TAKE A BREAK NOW. I MIGHT RETURN IN THE EVENING. I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING THIS IMPROVISED MESS OF PIXEL ART.

>>1116017

Make a grapefield on the new discovered hill

Ask our sister-in-law to make a small altar for Persephone to mark where we will erect a temple for her in the future

Hunt while the slaves build, take our son with us

>>1116017
>>1116018


Also, I'm loving it and I hope our shopping list discussion didn't bother you much, we are anons we are bound to argue.

I really like your stuuf and hope to see more of it.

>>1116017
This,
>>1116018
And plant our second field, if that hasn'tneen done yet.

>>1116017
Fuck ye. Its good shit

Alright anons thoughts on >>1115994 ?

I understand one anon wants to put an emphasis on hunting as personal actions.

>>1116018
Ok theres a temple as well, ill slot it in a bit gimme a moment

>>1116020
>>1116018
one thing I want you to make clear is where to put that altar.

Don't forget that it doesn't have to be in the discovered area.

>>1116023
Theres an elevated bit to the right of it on the map. If thats not possible than between the grapes and grain would be fine

>>1116023
Near (but not on) the coast at the base of the cliff south of the temple of Hades. It is right that the wife is below her husband (silly Greeks), but with a fine view of both the ocean and our fields.

Ok I thought of three options

Red one is on a part of the map near the mountains where the land may not be suatable to farming so it wont get in the way

orange is on a prime spot near the road and on fertile land, but this spot could be used for other more powerful gods

and light blue is on the demeter's gate where we would erect a shrine for her doughter as a big fuck you.

there is another option too, on our hunting trip we could look for a glade full of flowers, that die on the winter (underworld) and are born again on the spring when persephone leaves her husband's side

I thought it was more appropriate to put the temple at our 4th set of actions right now. Review and critique please.

>>1116036
Oh forgot to add hunting if possible on the 3rd, 4th and 5th

>>1116032
It being the temple of hades

>>1116035
Orange is nice. We can plant things for Her there, to capture the same effect as the field of wildflowers.

Also reminder we have one more slave so construction should be slightly easier.

Does everyone aprove of biulding the temple asap? If so i have to move finishing the pen down or remove hunting for this week. Then that puts the quern in jeapordy, but i can move it down to the 5th. That does mean we'll only be eating straight up grain.

We all need to be on the same page people, come on

>>1116055
Change to this?

not a temple, just an altar, a temple would require a lot of work(and marble if we are doing it properly), lets focus on the field now while we dedicate our sister-in-law to buil the altar and clear the imediate area around it

for position I will go with this>>1116032 and red position on the map>>1116035 if it doesn't work out

>>1116032
building it up there would first need you to carve in stairs to move up there effectively.

That'd be it's own small building project but can be done.


(still on break tho)

>>1116071
Alright i switch my vote to the red position.
>>1116067
Yup, got it switched to altar

So everyone is at least in agreement with the immediate stuff?

>>1116071

lets leave that spot for a more air oriented god

I vote for looking for a glade during the hunting trip

please direct your votes guys to give a better picture to the QM

>>1116077
He could just do a final destination vote

>>1116075
this is ok

>>1116082
and I will


Post here where to put the shrine to Persephone. But even if you doN't do me the curtesy, I will count all the votes so far

Game's gonna start back up in a bit, I will use the responses to this comment as an indicator when there are enough people around again.

>>1116133
putting trip back on

>>1116133
Red, between the grapes and grain

>>1116133

I'll go with red if we don't find someplace better on the hunting trip

>>1116140
Weeeell we have a plan. >>1116075
If we go on the trip now we cant finish the pen. The goats will be overcrowded.

Unless you can convince me and this >>1116126 bro otherwise

>>1116144
please don't overdo it with the plan. If everything's preprogrammed for the next five turns there's not much for me to interact with.

>>1116144
Unless op says otherwise, we do have an extra slave after all.

>>1116147
Well this is really subject to change due to random events and such. The plan is there to avoid excessive bickering

For example succesful hunting on multiple occasions might warp it to include a celebration instead of continued hunting.

You can easily throw wrenches into the plan btw with major events, which i encourage, so the plan doesnt become blatent chargen defacto

>>1116144

I thought the actions were this>>1116018

but I can postpone the hunting trip for next week, more than hunting I want to explore and open the map around us while we don't have an overwhelming amount of work on our hands

>>1116153
Its really for organization is all im saying.

>>1116154
So you want to explore. Noted, however im not convinced thats the most important thing to do

>>1116157
Actually mabye if the hunt goes well then we will explore, who knows

While we wait, have any of you guys played Rimworld?

it's a space colony sim where you can juggle resourse administration colonists moods and random disasters, it's pretty funny

>>1116161
sure

that works, but the hunt inevitably opens up the map as we have to brave the wilds to find game

>>1116147
Yeah, having future plans is okay but this plan takes the fun away,
Also loose anon I don't want to be a dick but your playstyle is kinda ruining this game and you should calm down a bit

Reinvigorated by the dream you had, you return home, with goats and slave and all.
Quickly you have the slaves start construction on a shrine to the goddess, while the rest of them begin putting up the frames for the wine to grow upon.

You also complete the pen.

You yourself, after having paid respects to Hades at the temple, make a further hunting trip, deeper into the forest this time.
You note that the grass grows thicker here, the vegitation lusher, and the bird cries more beautiful.

And I would you guys to roll 2d100 for me please - one's for hunting, the second one is for the construction of the shrine.

>>1116165
Feels bad

Plan scrapped then

Autistic ramblings may commence

>>1116162
Yeah its pretty fun, i tend to god mode it cause im lazy and easily bored.

Rolled 7, 56 = 63 (2d100)

>>1116166

Rolled 82, 28 = 110 (2d100)

>>1116166

>>1116169
>Feels bad

lets maybe find a happy medium, eh?

do your plan, so we have something people can orientate themselves after, but lets not present "this goes counter to the plan" as a valid argument against something.

Rolled 60, 74 = 134 (2d100)

You stalk the greener pastures until you find a boar digging for mushrooms in the forest floor.

With a quick throw of your spear you dispatch of the beast, but as you go forward to take your prey with you - the boar is indeed marvelous, one of the largest you have ever encountered - you see that there, hidden in the mud, the tusks of the pig are gold. Solid gold, just growing out of this animal's mouth.

>>1116189
forgot pic

>>1116189

Is the wineyard finished?If it is send those slaves to make a 3rd regular field

is the gold on the ground or did it actually came out of the beasts mouth? if it's the later we should smoke his meat and put his fur on the rack to make a fabulous coat.

If its on the ground we should start digging asap

>>1116198
>is the gold on the ground or did it actually came out of the beasts mouth? if it's the later we should smoke his meat and put his fur on the rack to make a fabulous coat.

It's a literal boar with golden tusks.

>>1116189
noice.. I guess we could make a 3rd (grain)field
otherwise maybe tell a few slaves to start cut wood since our building supplies is quite low..

>>1116201

Yeah, I only saw the pic after I posted.

we surely made an enemy of a god that gave those tusks to the boar

>>1116204
>>1116206
also, how do you want to proceed with the boar? Smoke it, eat it, salt it..?

>>1116210

Let's eat it fresh, we save on our food stocks and keep a tradition going.

save the fur to a tough week where we can't find sacrifices

>>1116210
>>1116213
this

>>1116210
are we actually the only one besides the merchant to use the road?

>>1116218
which road are you refering to?

you're the only one to travel to the temple in the last nine weeks.

>>1116220
no I meant the one south of our home and farm, at the road post thingy

>>1116204
Ill support this

You continue construction of the shrine to Persephone, and start a third field.

The slaves split up between doing these tasks, cutting more trees down and smoking the bore. The tusks you keep for yourself, inside the villa, in a sealed box. You feel uneasy displaying them as trophies.

On the last day of the week, your new slave, Politheus, does not return from the forest. You search the woods for the evening, but find nothing before nightfall.
Alright, due to lowered interest I will call it quits for today. I probably will pick it up again over the next two weeks some time. I will announce over twitter here:

I apologize if this is an abrupt or inconvenient end to the thread, I hope you'll join me again next time. Tell me here or on twitter which time frames you prefer and I see if I might be able to accommodate (I probably won't).

Hope you liked my flailing!

>>1116231
and loose, i didn't think you ruined the game. Please don't mix up what I said with what this guy >>1116165 who at no point posted anything constructive said. I'd love to have you back

>>1116236
Its all good my man. I dont ussually do civ stuff cause i can just play eu4 and shit. But whatever your quest is cool dude

>>1116233

Awww, damn, had to make a trip to the market, that's why I was quiet for some time.

will be here when you continue


can we spend next weeks action looking for the missing slave? either he was eaten by something or he tried to run, and if he tried to run I think I already have an idea for the next sacrifice
