Ok /qst/, lets do this.
Rules:
>Everyone get to pick a civ
>Everyone chooses a starting area on map, capital city, other city. Also population distribution is decided by player (Capital city must always have most pop)
>Two 'development' actions along with one regular action
>Development actions can develop magic, tech, or culture
>Regular actions are limited only by the people in your civ. You can use them to build, explore, fight, etc.
>civs start with 1000 guys,
>civ population will rise to food production (not immediately)
>food production starts @ 1000
>once a civ is picked, give names for civ, cities, culture, and who populates it. Just a sort of intro to the civ and what kind of culture it has. As a point of reference, progress is around Bronze Age tech, and you can have whatever knowledge is included there.
Magic:
>although its fantasy, all races will start with no magical abilities.
>magic has a price. Every research into magic you must sacrifice something (population, food, land, water, etc.). Amount that you sacrifice determines how powerful the magic will be. Eg. I sacrifice 20 people to learn fire magic, I can heat things up with touch. I sacrifice 2000 people to learn fire magic, I can shoot jets from my palms.
>every 'magic unit' will require a similar sacrifice, but of a much smaller scale. You will essentially need to purchase the research with a large sacrifice, and every magical unit with smaller units of that sacrifice.

[hive intro coming up]
>>
the hive are a race of humanoid insects whom stand at roughly 7 feet average, and are all connected through a mental connection to the queen, whom can birth new children at an exponential rate. the children often take a week to be born and grow to full size from a first layed egg. this gives them a very high birth rate and almost no self preservation.
they often construct large hives out of stone and occasionally spare chitin. the hive focuses upon technology and adaptability, the only culture around the hive is "mother says, we do"
very poor thinkers.
they make their throne hive where the queen is, deep underground in the centre of the desert, with only a 29 meter high stone entrance as a way in or out.

Fierce and territorial they are masters with bow and spear, using the rivers near their homes to launch boats to explore and hunt and fish for the creatures of the ocean. They also hunt the plentiful game of the plains and forests near their cities.
They seek recompense for any slight the with blood of the offender. Every male and female is a skilled hunter and warrior.

Well population growth needs to be the same as everybody else, but we can say that your home of residence is hostile enough to justify your rapid growth rate. Also, pick a territory and distribute your population to what towns you want!

Dryads spend time exploring the riverside. They find a thorny, black mess of deadwood and feel an ominous presence. Corrupted woodland spirits congregate here, but your scouts know it is time to leave. While it is a small area and grows slowly, if not dealt with sooner or later it will threaten Ralia.
A fine sum of gold is sacrificed to study how to weave wood into usable items. The extent of their Greenweaving magic is limited to creating small items such as beautiful furniture and small arms such as bows and spears.

The hobgoblins build a market and mine, increasing their treasury income and giving access to gold ore. They learn to create a written language into stone tablets. They sacrifice money to develop geomancy, for now limited in eroding ores and rocks faster. Indirectly, this lends itself nicely in ore purification.
Finally, they will explore the land for a strong beast. They succeed if the roll beats a 7.

The elves build a port at the river junction of Sverlfan. They are now able to construct naval units and trade/explore on the sea. Their barrack training fruits one hundred gallant fighters, experienced in the bow and spear. Unlike their brother fighters, they are focused on hunting those who deem harm on elfkind.
They explore their territory. They find the grasslands largely vacant and free, perfect for farming. The western dustlands have some forts of devious elves who live outside the jurisdiction of Sverelfan and its territories. They cause little trouble now, but may soon cause trouble in the future

I spend 250 gold to build more farms, grains, fruits and small animals (Goats,sheep)

As the hive is all concentrated in one location, they will do whatever it takes to protect their nest. They have assembled crude fortifications around the nest using wood and tough sand.
Exploring their immediate surroundings, they are attacked by robed wanderers, leading large waterbacked horses. The desert is not empty as they had feared. The Hive will remember those who attack, and will never forget.

I think it would be a good idea if each civ had a basic amount of income from the get go. I myself am only making 25 per turn from the introduction of a market worth 250. I feel like the basic income should be like 100 or 200 from the local economy.

>>1571153
Yeah, I'm not sure what we are suppose to do if I'm the richest and getting 35 a turn when buildings are 250.

>>1571153
Are you saying that because a civ might hypothetically not have the funds to buy a market and gain an income at all? Or some other reason?
>>
>>1571153
And food and population growth
>>
>>1571216
To be fair only one food action has been completed so far.

I also feel like increasing the production of some facilities wouldn't be bad. Something like increase the production of markets from 25 to 50 and mines from 10 to 35. Also maybe give docks an economic bonus with like 25 per round. These can all be increased by upgrading the buildings which would cost money.

Italians create barges to move their river goods, along with creating a form of tariffs to promote internal trade. Their income has increased as a result of both techs.
Food is traded for building a port town in the north. Italians will need to accrue more food if they want their population to exceed 1000.

Remas builds a market and boat units in Remas itself. Their primitive boatmaking knowledge has led them to create boats made from carved trees attached to a wooden platform, where the platform is supported by two of the canoes on either side, and cargo/ is held on the platform. These boats are used to navigate in the calm waters inside, primarily for trading.
Both kingdoms of men use their shared lake and river to trade, increasing commerce of both nations.

The golems create a market to trade various stone trinkets and masonry services. Some of the finest pieces of stonework form the continent come from these golems. A market is also built, starting the Golem income and emptying the treasury.
The mine strikes gold. Supported by the invention of carts, treasury income increases rapidly. The carts also increase the stone stockpile, and it will continue to increase until capacity is reached.
A port is built, where 50 golems are moved from the Capital. The waves are alive and choppy. Its unadvised to sail the barges down these waters.

Some Hive soldiers discover the merits of using flexible bark wrapped in plucky twine to launch projectiles far. They are able to build archer units now.
Fortifications are improved by including spiky wooden barriers between the outside and the hard sand and wood wall. Their defenses rival the rest of the continent
Bugs are sent towards the green shore. They find a settlement of wild creatures, twenty giants standing ten feet tall with scant clothing and giant clubs. They are peaceful, but prefer maintaining independence. They also have a healthy stockpile of treasure. What will you do?

Elves build a mine, striking iron and gold. Their income grows steadily.
The increase in the food stockpile is a result of the farms being built in the country side, in all the small hamlets.

The hobgoblins select some more adept at magic to help add funds to their treasury by distilling more gold from ore.
Some clever hobgoblins use their knowledge of simple ropes and wheels to create pulleys, allowing them to speed the rate of construction. These pulleys are used in a new weapon that can launch large bolts faster, but take a while to load.
The borders are navigated around. Hobgoblins find a tribe of redskinned orcs. They are led by a shaman who foresaw your arrival. He tells you that the destiny of your tribe and theirs will end in either conquest or genocide. The orcs hold this faith strong and attack your scouts. You fear which prophecy may come true.

The Countess orders a mine to be built, allowing access to a healthy income of gold, as well as a source for iron.
She helps increase the food stockpile by learning of the effects of water on crop health. They irrigate in all the cities.
After the uneasiness of the forest was reported by the scouts, the Countess greenweaves a large and intricately designed weapon that can shoot fast and thin projectiles. The Dryads can now train archer units.
More scouts wander the area. At the lake, to the south of Estrellander, they find beautiful water spirits who are called the Naiads. They are shy and peaceful, and never leave their lake grounds. You find the site is a nexus of magicka, and researching near the shore may greatly improve your magical research. However, it would also mean having to deal with the Naiads somehow.

Italians make a mine, and strike iron and silver. The latter shall help fill their coffers nicely.
Crude Italian smithing creates a heavy, clunky iron plate. Their soldiers (when they are ever trained) will have good protection from physical attacks.
The barge is improved by adding a hull underneath. These boats have more storage underneath the platform and can go through tougher waters. At least 20 oarmen are required to pilot it however.

The Remans build on their rafts to create larger versions. The dugouts are traded for sleek hulls. The platform traded for a proper deck. They have made a primitive wooden catamaran.
Remans search for a ridable horse.

Golems attempt their Geomancy on a tree. Nothing happens. Except for the tree being uprooted.
A tradition is laid out that the leaders of the golems wear golden heads.
A special kind of golem is crafted to assist in pulling carts. The rhinos are created via golemancy to act like a mindless beast, obedient to the whims of the more intelligent beings.
Golems explore east. They find a strange warmth is coming from underneath the beach sands. Lack of magical knowledge cannot confirm whether it is a magical nexus point, or some sort of resting place for spirits?
The fishmen tell you they have vast magical experience in illusions. They would agree to help on condition that you assist them move into an internal body of water. They tire of the dirty sea, and wish to swim in a large, expansive, and most importantly, still lake.

The sacrifice of fifteen dryads is well worth it. They learn how to cleanse corruption, or rather, how to remove it. Purification (I) allowed them to stop the growth of corruption, while Purification (II) allowed them to transfer it into a living creature.

Dryad mages perform their corruption magic to help transfer the corruption into a single tree. All twenty mages die to give the proper magic for the ritual. The dryads celebrate as the uprooted tree floats off into the sea, believing it will be the last time the corruption will infect these lands.
Clever dryads have a better understanding of tracking down wild animals, and use this skill to hunt for friendlier, domesticatable, animals. A bonus to scouting is added.
Carts are created, affecting both trade and agriculture.
Southern scouts find the foothills of a mountain, and their cave troll inhabitants. The creatures are very virile, and sought to prove it by capturing some of your scouts. All but one scout are imprisoned in the caves, alive, but...disrupted.

Elves create a type of boat by smoothing out logs into slender canoes, attaching large sails on top. The ships are marveled by their speed, but do not excel in agility. These boats, along with the initiative to carry extra guards in caravan travels, greatly impact income.
The Isolationist Elves reply that they may consider an alliance if they are permitted to practice Corruption Magic in their desert. They give an offer to teach you this magic as well, for the price of sample ent-folk.
An innovative elven magician creates a heat based lift using the accumulation of smoke. These lifts are limited to carrying small cargo, not even able to carry the lithe elves.

I have a question. How exactly does food production work? I'm a bit confused because back when I built farms I thought that would lead to a increase of food per turn similar to markets with money. I didn't miss something did I.

The golems dig a reservoir for their new fishy friends. They are delighted to swim in fresh, inland water, but are a bit disappointed by the size. For now, they teach you how to disguise still, flat surfaces to look like other surfaces.
They explore the peculiar sand. An eye opens. Then a giant mouth. 2 fishmen and 5 golems are swallowed before the rest of the party escape. They bring back word of some sort of giant creature submerged in the sand--or making up the sand.

With the iron, the Hive are able to manufacture better quality weapons.
The Hive is sent along the coasts to look for the 'man-meat'.

Building a farm increases your capacity of food.
Population naturally grows until it meets food capacity. It stops growing if capacity is equal or less than population.

Combat Engineers are trained, understanding the intricacies of warfare fortifications and explosive handling.
A road is built to improve trade.
Red orcs board ships and are on standby to attack the Nagas. They will engage on the elves say-so. After this turn, they will have two days left before bloodlust tears either the hobgoblins, or themselves, apart.

The Preist-King of the Elves decrees that the mastery of fire magic is paramount. Twenty elven mages give their life in the selfless sacrifice to gain mastery over the flame.
The Innovative elf experiments with using pots of burning, rendered fat to lift large, waxed leather balloons. After attaching them to a longboat to study their lift he realizes he is in fact hovering over the weaves After hours of being stranded inches over the water he figures out the secret to steering the craft back down.
(Basic Airship Developed Perfect for moving small cargo or few passengers across impassable terrain)
After returning from Italia, a enterprising merchant begins crafting a large, box shaped cart with four wheels! Pulled by a pair of docile elks it is filled to the brim with massive amounts of goods!
(Developed wagons. Moving in convoys of of to twenty these will surely spread the goods of Sverlefan to its allies)
The Elven Warriors stand near the border to the Nagas nests. Arrows sit ready at the string, spears glimmer in the light. A brave warrior marches forth, holding a white cloth attached to a sheet. Ranks of Orcish warriors stand by, ready to charge at a moments notice. A parley is requested of the Nagas leadership.
The Isolationist elves are allowed to practice their Corruption magic but only under the watchful eye of a Priest of the sun. No monstrosities will be created.

Hivedrones monitor the hobgoblin trade routes, successfully undetected by the hobgoblins. They see a hobgoblin caravan, protected by Italian caravan guards. The drones settle nearby for now; they await the Hivemother's commands.

Action: The Dryads search one last time for useful creatures in their domain. Not even a carrier pigeon to be found? So much for teeming woods.
Action: The Countess sends a new envoy to the Naiads, seeking a closer alliance, hoping to learn from the Naiads and share with them if they'll have it, still respecting the wellspring the Naiads are protective of, but wanting to learn more about it and any other tech/magic the Naiads know. The Countess is willing to negotiate terms with their representative in person.
Develop: TECH - Ironworking to improve our arrows.
Develop: MAGIC - Warding magic to protect our settlements and scouting expeditions, as well as future troops. 500 Food units are sacrificed for this endeavor.
also we sent 15 mages to cleanse the corruption but "all 20" died / not sure if this was an error or if the cost of the magic took other Dryads with it

Hobgoblins shape thin, pure iron rods using their Geomancers. With the sharp edge, they are the most dangerous bolt throughout all the continent, strong enough to not splinter, yet light enough to fly true.
Medicinal herbs are studied for their regenerative properties. They are manufactured in glass bottles, and noted for their healthy green glow.
Food is sacrificed to continue Geomancy study, but the sacrifice is not sufficient enough for them to achieve the next level. They will need to start over with a fresh sacrifice next time.
The explore the mountains for other rare metals. They find silver ore. Treasury income reflects the discovery.

> Military Units: None
A healthy sacrifice is given in the pursuit of powerful magics. The Hivemother, through her children, has the ability to read and manipulate minds.
Telepathy (I) gives the Hive the ability to read minds via touching an individual.
Telepathy (II) gives the Hive the ability to read minds without having to touch an individual, but through an amplifier and minor sacrifices.
Telepathy (III) allows the Hivemother, through her children, manipulate thoughts and emotions of individuals, given a significant enough sacrifice.
Large farms are built around the nest to feed the Hive.
Some Hive soldiers observe that with enough dirt and mud on one's chitin, they are indistinguishable to a dead log, provided they don't move.

Golems continue excavating the reservoir with modifiable shovel-arms. They find the larger the diameter, the more the river recedes. As a result, the reservoir water is shallower. While the Finfolk appreciate your efforts, they would like more water to be routed deeper to fill up the reservoir.
The mine is upgraded once more. Gold coins are fashioned from the gold veins they discover.
Some elder Finfolk know what the sand monster is. Or rather, who created it. Some malevolent wizard has created a spell called Nightmare, that manipulates the environment into unnatural monstrosities. The wizard was a former Finfolk. With his magical knowledge, he was able to trap enough souls to fuel his spells. The sand monster was a sign of his presence their. Perhaps looking for more Abnormalities, they could locate the wizards to reverse the spell.
The beast itself is trapped in the sand. He had come from some unknown realm, and its speculated that your swallowed companions slipped into this realm when they were swallowed. Killing the beast may create a crude portal into this world.

Hobgoblin scouts venture southwest. In the plains of the Hive's country, they find a wandering tribe of centaurs. They wield staves double edged with blades. They are a proud, warrior race, but not bloodthirsty. You may choose to interact with them if you want.
>>
>>1575103
Ten are sacrificed to read the being's minds. A garble of foreign thoughts and images are observed; of kingdoms, races, cultures, and techs. The Hive mother has a long memory, but will take a while to sort and interpret through the alien language and significance. They can choose to interpret one of these thoughts every turn. (NOTE: The being is Italian, so thoughts/culture/knowledge is limited to the Italian guard)
>>
>>1575144
If the centaurs tell us what they know of the area (7), they may come to Hobgoblin lands to trade riches, food, tools. Should they work with us we also shall be a stronger force together.

The elves experiment with lifting craft. They would need a large and more efficient fuel source to move large craft like their boats. In the meantime, they use small ballooncraft to lift up baskets of large cargo, or up to seven passengers.
Elven mages work to master flame magic. They gain Flame (II), which gives them the ability to create more intense flames that can dance around their body, as well as launch these flames at moderate distances. A reasonable sacrifice is needed to activate this spell every use; the size of the sacrifice directly impacts the intensity and length of the spell.
Elks are hooked onto large carts to increase long distance trade and mobility.
The Isolationist elves agree to the conditions. The priest notes they have mastered Corruption magic, and are experimenting with their applications with various inorganic substances. They keep pleading to have a live sample to experiment.
An envoy is sent to the Nagas. He doesn't return. Battle is inevitable; roll a 1d10 for your troops, and 5d10 for the orcs.

> Military Units: None
Dryads send one final envoy into the woods. It would be most bizarre if they return with no animals.
An envoy is sent to the Naiads. They are very protective of their secrets, not having built that trust for you yet. After asking what they want to gain their trust, they tell you of tales of purifying crystals, naturally occurring in the south Mountain. The crystals themselves are regular crystals, but their properties enhance any purifying magic enchanted inside them. They want to use these crystals to baptize their newborn to maintain purity and prevent any possible dispurity from infecting their lake. If you deliver these enchanted crystals, they are willing to share some secrets with you.
Iron arrowheads are created. The sharpness of them will serve nicely to ward off any possible corruption.
Warding magic is researched at the price of 500 food units. They gain the Warding (I) skill, giving them the ability to embed into the environment wards. The wards are dormant until activated, at which point a phantasmal wall will appear and block any physical beings. Each ward installation and activation requires a minor sacrifice.
Also you're right, it should be all 15.

Italians build a market in the capital.

Reman blacksmiths discover the right proportions and manufacturing techniques to create crude steel weapons. They are of a stronger quality than their iron counterparts.
The Catamaran is transformed by creating a massive hull around the two hulls, and installing a sail on top. Their adventures on the waters can hold more people and be for longer periods of time

The elven army have a hard time wading through the shallow puddle. Nagas gruesome appearance stiffens fears a little, and their scales are thick enough to deflect elven arrows.
The Red Orcs had to take charge. Their notorious bloodlust was released upon the vapid creatures. The first two flanks hacked and slashed away at the monsters successfully while suffering acceptable losses. The third flank absolutely demolished their nagas, and helped assist with the weaker latter two flanks, surrounding and pinching the Nagas off. The nest is cleansed, but at the price of the lives of many elves and more red orcs. The orc chieftain is happy; the bloodlust won't come up again until five turns.

Action: Send a group of 10 Dryads to the southern foothills to place wards, sacrificing the necessary food to do so to prevent the Trolls from edging further into our territory. Hopefully this will keep them contained for the time being.

You can have all of the trolls to study that you can take alive, provided any crystals we find remain within Dryad jurisdiction. You don't have magic anyway so that's no real loss. We would be willing to implement some wards for you in exchange, we also have iron and some gold, and lots of food. What would be an acceptable compensation for your assistance in this matter?

The water scouts find a solitary witch hut sitting on giant chicken legs. When they approach the hut, it runs away. When they leave and come back, the hut was back where it was the first time. There is no doubt that whoever enchanted the hut must have great magical knowledge.

I accept the migration treatise, with the caveat that any humans who dwell in Ralia must abide by all of our customs - most importantly, our agreement with the Naiads to leave their lake unadulterated. I will make a barracks this turn, next turn my forces will be ready to roll with your assistance (and/or that of the Hobgoblins).

The food stockpile increases with the addition of more variable crops.
Wards are installed all around the southern foothills. An adequate number of food is sacrificed to install it, but none so far has been needed to activate it.
Although dryad physiology provides a somewhat natural camouflage in the forest, they appreciate to have better tools to fool even the most perceptive. They greenweave portable trees that they can hide inside and observe, completely unnoticed.
Dryads join the Hobgoblins in understanding the formula to the Health Elixirs.

Elves invest properly in their barracks and market.
Experimenting with fuel sources, elves learn that Hobgoblin Burning Elixir can catch flame for a while. They order large vats and burn them underneath balloons; the fuel source create enough smoke to lift large objects at heights just large enough to sail over the trees. The elven airships are definitely an impressive tech, but depend heavily on the fuel source and good piloting.
Trade is developed for all goods but the burning elixir. It seems every shipment brought in is used up in the next voyage, and too many vats will cause more weight than lift.

Golems like stability. Their flatships have wide decks and thick hulls, built so that they can experience as little rocking as possible. The ships hug the coast, not daring to explore the deep seas for concern of more rocking, and capsizing.
They develop stone hammers to knock out hostile creatures, such as the sand monster they found. They can train hammer units.
The golems ask the fishfolk what they want. They maintain what they want; a large lake. Your modest pond was fine, and they appreciate efforts to expand the lake. If you do it succesfully, either rerouting water, or finding a magical solution, they would bless you with more illusion knowledge. When asked what they know of water magic, they disappoint you and say they have no knowledge of generating water, else they'd fill the lake themselves!

The Hivemother learns how to take advantage of the cover of night to develop dark, dusty charcoal all around the drones skin, shielding them during the night.
They expand their knowledge of traps to make nets, when triggered pulling unsuspecting prey into the air, ensnared. Many are built around the hive.
As the Hivemother interprets Italian, she learns of the Alliance, comprising of hobgoblins, elves, humans, and dryads. She understands that they live with their kind but send people to give things to each other, like her beloved underground burrows.
You can attempt to learn more in later turns.

Hobgoblins are sacrificed to study how to enchant their runes. They have knowledge of how to create runes that glow bright when magic is nearby, but has no ability to deflect magic itself without knowledge of warding. The power of the magic detecting runes are variable to the sacrifices used to create them.
The hobgoblins make an offer to the centaurs. Being a wary nomadic race, they refuse your offer of coming onto your lands, stating that no land belongs to anyone and such ideology is toxic. Their knowledge of the stomping grounds is limited to the plains; they have little knowledge of the desert. If you are to explore that way however, they are willing to escort you for the price of recovering an antler or horn from a magical creature, such as a minotaur or a silver stag, which they like to use to make potent health elixirs. They are also willing to trade resources for nonfood items.

The elven Skyships are retrofitted for their current limitations. All excess weight is trimmed from the craft, wood replaced with leather where possible, using a single large jug of Burning Elixir in a controlled burn, maximizing their fuel efficiency by using heated air instead of smoke. the crafts grow light and swift in the skies. They can carry up to moderate loads of cargo or Up to 6 passengrrs (Develop airship upgrade, Streamlined airship)
Upgrading their Boats further, the Elven Craftsmen begin crafting large, long ships perfect for the massive amount of ore produced by the elven mines. (Develop Large Longboat)

Hobgoblins scouting the desert observe from a distance the farms and insectile activity around the Hive. They try approaching, but one has fallen into a pit trap, and after being rescued, they cut their losses and return to report to Stone Crown.
Gold is spent to research methods to ward off magic. The sacrifice is enough to just research simple wards, similar to the dryads, but incapable of protecting against magical prying. A larger sacrifice is required for such an endeavor. With their previous knowledge of runes, they can automate wards to be activated upon a runic detection of magic.
The market is upgraded to increase income. Hobgoblins also research better tools and stone throwers.

After cutting up a tree, they build a wooden golem. It is easier to create and is capable of swimming, but is flammable and light. Regardless, access to wood increases the golem population.
After geomancing the earth to allow for more river water to flow, the lake is filled up. The finfolk are pleased, and bless you with further illusion knowledge. Blanket (II) allows you to disguise non-flat, 3d objects to look like other objects, provided they are stationary.

Elves try and use three development actions. I have chosen two for them.
Elven skyships are streamlined so that the carriage has as little weight as possible while still supporting passengers and cargo. Passengers and cargo are able to ride among each of the Elven villages with a single cauldron of oil, needin at least three to cross the borders into their neighboring states.
Elven longboats turn into longships after careful engineering of the hull, cargo hold, and oarmen quarters. Ore production and trade are greatly affected.
The elven stag riders are sent to scout their territories for useful items. They find a field of giant mushrooms. It is unclear if any creatures live near here, but the properties of the mushrooms are undoubtedly useful in alchemy and spellcrafting.
One of the isolationist elves has used corruption magic on himself. He doesn't profess any overt bad intentions, but the sun-priest observing him want him killed. The elves themselves protest to this action greatly, even going forth to request for a different observer. The corrupted elf himself contains the corruption and for now is operating quite healthily. No elf, yours or theirs, understands the effects of the spell. What do you want to do?
> Kill him
> Talk to him
> Leave him alone
>>
>>1577957
What do you want to say to them?
>>
>>1577986
Greetings those of flesh, I wish to speak with your delegated leader/alpha/ superior
>>
>>1577981
The Priest-King sends a delegation of mages, Scholars and warriors to inspect tie corrupted elf. The overzealous priest is removed from his position and sent home. (Speak carefully with the corrupted elf)
The Elves decide that Their troops should focus on the traits that make them strong. A combination Iron mail and Leather armor is created for use by Eleven warriors and caravan guards. (Develop Light Armor)
The Mushroom field is to be inspected carefully, each specimen tested for use as food, medicine or poison. (Examine mushroom field thoroughly)
Spend 100 gold on troops. 1 unit of Elven Rangers (Mounted Troops) and 1 Unit of Elven foot soldiers (Spearmen/Archers)

Dryads scout east, finding large berries and fruits. They plant these, increasing their crop yield.
An envoy is sent to the Italians to ratify a mutual migration agreement. Italians and Dryads both have citizens of each other living in their towns. They prepare to send troops to attack the troll camp south of them.
An envoy sent to the Hobgoblins, discussing among other things a road between their capitals, and a possible magical knowledge exchange. They take the long road around the troll hills.
Tariffs are eased on Italia, resulting in a dip of Dryad income and increase in Italian.
Technological advances are made in transportation methods, facilitating trade.
An archer unit is trained.
>>1577935
True Hive population should be 1000.
>>
>>1577990
Go to the town between 2 rivers then
>>
>>1578016
Wouldn't that be offset by more people willing to trade with them because of lower tariffs.
>>
>>1578016
Unwise decisions have left our treasury empty, but if you are offering to build a road we can send a unit of Crossbowmen with fire launchers to help with the trolls. Perhaps we can work together in future military endeavors.

Italians upgrade their market and scout for natural resources. They find, in the forest, a variant of tree that is white in hue. Its unknown whether the tree has any magically or alchemically advantageous properties. Its also unknown whether the trees is the property or home of any unseen creatures...

Action: Scouts are sent south with the archer unit to search for any crystals previously requested by the Naiads.
Develop: CULTURE - The Dryads seek to exist in harmony with nature, and strive to better use their resources, recycling food waste as fertilizer and generally giving back to their territory to help it grow and flourish. No tree will be cut down if it can't be avoided, using Greenweave instead so that all goods, furniture and tools are still living wood. Any tree that IS cut down will be replaced by planting 3 more where it stood.

Golems learn how to perform combat on rhinoback. They can train ranged and melee cavalry units.
They send merchants to the hobgoblins. What do they want to trade?
A massive boulder is geomanced, eating up stone and wood. After being thrown in the monster's mouth, they start shooting at the eyes. The creature is blinded. It panics wildly. The boulder slips inside its throat. The monster chokes. With a final lurch for air, the creature falls silent. Victory to the golems this day!

The Hive scout goes to the hobgoblin town of Twin Rivers. The scout can interact with the hobgoblin leader here now.
The hive is further fortified with more traps. They can't possibly be more fortified.
Their stealth technology now includes barky camouflage, where they knit large wood shirts on their back and hug trees, where they can pretend to be part of the tree. The ruse is easier to fall for when it is in heavy forest.
The hivemother wants to learn surveillance but since they dont have satellite technology she instead deciphers the Italian's knowledge and learns how to create boats.
OP is getting real tired of Hive's lazy turns and kindly requests hive to be more specific in future turns or OP will make up turns for him.

>>
Turn 9 begins now!
>>
Rolled 9, 8 = 17 (2d10)
>>1580397
Initial attack rolls.
>>
>>1580542
Action: Send an envoy to the Naiads bearing three of the crystals we found and work toward strengthening our trust and alliance - hopefully they share useful information about how to use the crystals properties.
Action: Upgrade our Market, Mine, Barracks and Dock
Action: Scout our lands for a useful agricultural product (cotton, bamboo, enchanted plants).
Action: Another set of scouts sets out to catalog the wild creatures within our domain that were possibly overlooked in the previous attempts. Maybe there's something off the wall we can learn to enchant with magic over time. Literally something has to live in the woods bigger than a mouse.
Develop: MAGIC - The iron of their arrowheads and the steel of the Italians inspires the Dryads. They strive to enchant wood to be as hard/durable as steel, while maintaining its light weight. The density should hopefully also offset the flammability of armor or weapons made of the material. They dub this Ironwood, and sacrifice 400 food for the magic to do so. idk, is that greenweaving II? a new magic? you choose!
Develop: CULTURE - The Countess strives to impress upon every Dryad their responsibility to self-sustainability. To this end, each Dryad and immigrant human is expected to plant and maintain a garden, grove or orchard as part of greater service to Ralia.
>>
>>1580528sorry about the "lazy" turns, I was just trying to be prepared in case things turned sour
using the knowledge of these hobgoblin structures the hive seeks to become even more stealthy
tech: research urban camouflage
interested that these beings carry weapons even in their home hive. the hive endeavours to improve
action: make flying archer drones [around 10 units of them]
felling hungry the queen decides that current food supplies are insufficient
tech: improve farming techniques to get more food quickly
and finally the scout continues its mission
action: speak with the hobgoblin leader
>>
>>1580984better? yes, no? or was it the repetitive tasks I was doing?
>>
>>1580548
Develop: The golem and fish folk remove the boulder from the beasts mouth and prepare that portal to the next plane they discussed.
Develop: The wood golems study buoyancy to develop better sea faring ships.
Action: We offer the hobbos to be hired guards for as many turns as they need. Mercenary work is also acceptable as long as there is payment.
>>
>>1580548
Hobgoblin Aid roll?
>>
>>1580542
>Develop a system of small tunnels that dump waste to make towns cleaner and allow for faster growth (Sewers)
>Develop troops that wield iron armor and shields with spears (Spearmen)
>Sacrifice a mixture of 20 Hobgoblins and 250 food to improve Geomancy
>>
>>1581260
Also to add
>Start imbuing wards into necklaces for important and military hobgoblins
>>
>>1581260
Still not enough, sir. We had to sacrifice like 700 stone to get geomancy 2.
>>
>>1581351
Life is worth much more than food / stone
>>
>>1581351
Also you went from 0 to 2.
>>
>>1580984
The Hive can now speak with the hobgoblin leader. What would they like to say?
>>
>>1581407
greeting leader of the small ones. this one greets you on behalf of the hive. we seek to procure certain assets from you to better ourselves. the ones whom brought this one here called them rebels? the hive will take these dissidents from you and leave you unending of containment. if you have none, may you please show this one who does?
>>
>>
>>1581364
Also it took 1300 stone to do. And stone is life for golems. We cannot reproduce without it.
>>
>>1581443
Also Golems are offering to fight for you as mercs.
>>
>>1581448
I'm just saying, living people take more off than what is used to make more people. And your offer is known, but we have no use for mercs right now. Perhaps in the future we will.
>>
>>1581443
the hive is a helping hive, we must be better than you to help you. the hive wants to help. the giants need help, we help.
and besides the hive dislikes hurting their Nabors and Nabors might try eating hive if no food found. killing the giants would be most sad
>>
>>1580463
The corrupted elf is too dangerous to be left with us. We have heard tell of a great, barren desert to the far south. He will venture there, alone, to die in the wastes. A place as cursed as he is.
>Exile him to the Bug-lands
The Elven Smiths Develop a particularly hard, light iron. Using this they create long slashing swords of exceeding sharpness and Axes that can fell a tree in two strokes. (Develop Superior iron tools and weapons)
The Elven Herbalists begin gleefully crafting various Potions and elixirs from the Mushroom Fields. (Develop Pure Health Elixirs and Agility Elixirs)
Action-The Elven warriors grow bored. They send contacts to their allies, The Italians and Hobs via Airship. If conflict is to be had, Sverelfan will be at the front.
>Spend 50 Gold to Upgrade our Port in Sverelfan (increase amount of ships sent on convoys)
>spend 50 gold to Train a unit of Light archers/Swordsmen
>>
>>1581663
Perhaps we could make an exchange. Tech to create your own simple fuel in return for the shipments of mushrooms to create invisibility potions.
>>
>>1580356
>>1580548
Research a writing script
Research composite bows
Construct a temple to the Cyrod, the ruler of the heavens and master of storms.I expect something like lightning magic from building a temple to a God of lightning/storms.
Send an envoy to that witch with some gold. See if she can be swayed into entering our services or teach us any magicka
>>
>>1581773
This trade suits the Priest-King and the Merchant caste. We will supply you with the spores and Stalks of the mushrooms to experiment with and to grow your own
>>

>>1581412
>>1580749
The dryad-italian coalition is a success! The trolls were lured out by the taunting humans, while the dryads drilled in many greenwoven arrows into their necks. Once inside, hobgoblins move in for close-range crossbow attacks, absolutely destroying all trolls without any casualties on their side.
The defiled dryads are found inside, their green composure turned blackish-blue from abuse and lack of sunlight. A large treasure room is found, containing a huge gold chest and a single large egg. The room is decorated in crystals adept for purification magic.
>>
>>1581663
thanks for the new resource cursed, it wont come back to bite. the hive promises this]
>>
>>1580987
your actions are better, I just dont want to come up with a tech when you write 'stealth' or 'camouflage' three times in a row. I can deal with repition if you differentiate it.
>>
>>1581872
I think we can split this nicely. Crystals for dryads, money for our mercantile humans, and mystery egg for hobgoblins?
>>
>>1581880
I want this to be as fun for you as it is for I, so I will make my actions better if I can, I will even propose how. eg for the urban camo suit the hive rolls around in a blue paste looking like concrete or whatever stuff the goblins make their stuff out of. sorry for annoying you
>>
>>1581890
I mean where you gonna get paste in a desert?
>>
>>1581893
Poo
>>
>>1581893
i wont, I will get it from you of course, your building wont be in the desert so why should that particular resource be from here either]
>>
>>1581901
Except we aren't trading
>>
>>1581900
I didn't think of that, but still shit?
eh the hive would do it I suppose
>>
>>1581906
details details, besides ignoring the fact that that was hypothetical, whats to stop me from just taking something that resembles what you make your homes from? like rocks or some other item
>>
>>1581911
That makes sense, I mean you have grasslands and woods in your own area too.
>>
>>1581907
Bugs like ants and termites produce a gluey material from their jaws when they gnaw wood and mud.
>>
>>1581872
>>1581883
The Dryads harvest the crystals and the egg, and tend to their wounded.
The treasure within the troll cave is split between the Italians and Hobgoblins, and the Countess will send more resources to both as recompense.
Don't forget, Hobgoblins, we're financing a road that will benefit you as well. Iron and gold will flow to you as we become less reliant on metal and learn more woodworking magic.
The egg is taken to the Countess for study.
>>
>>1582020
Fine with me, more resources are never a bad thing.

he will be cared for, and from there a place will be made for him. when he dies he will die in peace. the hive helps]

pfffft

Did anything ever end up coming out of the white woods?
>>
>>1582283
No, I don't think they want to talk. I may have to send an expeditionary force. Hence me making soldiers. If you want to come with, you can. I can't guarantee your people's survive if they come though
>>
>>1582311
There may not be any 'creatures' there - that's why I suggested letting us look at the trees. Our mages may have insight into their nature if they're enchanted in some way. Fighting is well and good, but figuring out what you're fighting is more important, no?
The Dryads are prepared to join the expedition with the Italians with mages to study the properties of said trees and share what they learn with the Italians.
>>
>>1581872
Oh, also how many crystals were we able to loot from the cave? And how do they rank compared with the super rare crystals?
>>
>>1582253
Like real talk, maybe try exploring your own land or developing something else. Don't want to waste an action getting something you don't want since gunpowder is super far ahead on tech

Hobgoblins improve geomancy by sacrificing lives and food. This time, they make a breakthrough, and learn Geomancy (II). They have the ability to carve stone and earth into their desired shapes, given a proper sacrifice.
They create spears and a sewer system, which improve defense and growth.
The hobs get a healthy sum from their adventures in the troll caves added to their treasury.

The Hive researches 'urban camouflage' by sticking rocks to their shells. If they are still, they can pass for a piece of road.
Flying archer units are created. The hobgoblin leader discussion proves unfruitful. What does the drone and the hidden brotherdrones want to do?
On aside, Hiveanon, you are almost there, but not quite. When you say 'improve farming techniques', that is way too vague for me. What will I add to the Notable Tech List? 'More Farming'? Theres better ways to increase food, like building farms, or specifying HOW FARMING IS IMPROVED!
I hope Im not asking for a lot by asking you to BE CREATIVE.
I will write fertilizer for now.

Wood golems, understanding the principles of buoyant wood, create primitive smallhull ships that can easily navigate coasts and cut through the sea. They use oar-arms to pilot them.
The boulder is removed from the beast's mouth. The portal structure is engineered around the decaying corpse.
While patrolling the town, shoregolems find a tree growing laterally on the soil! It seems washed up, but miraculously alive. There is ritualwork beneath the branches on the ground; the finfolk report that these must have been the workings of their malevolent wizard!

The port is upgraded and a unit of soldiers are trained.
Pure Health Elixirs and Agility Elixirs are created. I think thats two development actions, so I'm gonna stick with that, sorry.
The Elves renew their alliance with the Hobgoblins and Italians.
The elf is exiled to the southern desert. He first finds the centaurs. They smell him as containing some evil, but hesitate to kill him on the word of the shaman. They escort him to the edges of the desert and let him wander. After two days, he falls in a pitfall trap. The corruption feeds him, and in turn, he feeds the corruption. Hive scouts wander and find him, bringing him forth to the Hivemother. What his destiny is belongs to her now. >>1582605
>>
>Is anybody still here?
>>
>>1582837

> Military Units: 150 Archers
The naiads are grateful for the crystals. They let you observe and learn both their properties and the magic behind it. The crystals are valuable is that they are natural absorbers or corruption. The dryads tell you that, very small traces of corruption are in every being. The crystals, when casted with Purification (III), can contain a HUG vat of corruption. However, like other corrupted objects, once broken, the corruption escapes -- and these crystals are quite fragile.
They teach you Purification (III)! You can store corruption inside INANIMATE OBJECTS now!
Upgrades are made to the market, mine, barracks, and dock. They can produce more marine and army units, and have an increased income from the market and mine.
The land is scouted out. They find beautiful cotton.
They scout in the forest for animals. They bring back a squirrel.
Food is sacrificed in the pursuit of enchanting living creatures. There is a small chance with every enchantment of the creature targeted to be corrupted. There is no way to destroy this chance, but there are preventative measures. Biochanting (I) allows you to embue plants with enchantment properties; whatever you want the plant to have, it will have! Enchantment cost is variable to what sacrifices are given, of course.
Gardens are grown inside Ralia. This has the effect of beautifying the city, as well as increasing food stockpile a bit.
>>
>>1582932
Kind of. Although I think just research gunpowder like that is somewhat of a slippery slope. There could be missiles being developed in the next couple turns or the magical equivalent of them.

(fixed food, Italians have been growing at a rate of +100 food until they reached 1000)
Italians make heavy infantry units. They are awesome and powerful in their steel shields and armor getup.
They try and create a device for long range communication. They dub it 'mail'
They find a crop that when crushed, makes a black powder. They use it to season their food. Italian food is known among the allies as very spicy now.
They also have a hefty sum from their adventures.

Remans construct a temple. The foundation of the temple gives them Static (I)! They can create soft currents from their bodies, and upon contact or very close range, can transfer a bolt through any conductive surface. The voltage is quite safe; it tickles most creatures, except for the tiniest ones.
The witch is tried to be sent gold, but the house runs away every time. Oh well.

Italians build as many markets as they can afford.
They find Red Spices in the southern regions of their lands. All the continent is crazy over its flavor and aroma!

This is a message to all other leaders except for the bugs. I propose the insects are a threat that must be wiped out. Their entire population is able to fly and armed, they also insist upon getting meat from those of us that have it. Should you accept, prepare to march.

Cotton is planted. They are able to harvest it now, and learn to spin it to make string and cloth.
Food is sacrificed to enchant an Ironwood tree. No corruption is created from this enchantment.
An iron sphere is commissioned as a vessel for corruption. After purifying the egg, all the corruption is deposited in the egg. They learn iron and other metals have a very low capacity for holding corruption, after finding that purifying the egg of what little corruption existed completely filled the iron sphere.
Older dryads understand that the egg holds one of the legendary Dragons of the continent! There are seven total at a time, one for each region. A new dragon is only born if an existing one dies. Next turn the egg will hatch a Crystal Dragon. Its scales can be harvested for crystals similar to what they harvested in the cave. Dragons live for very long, and grow very fast.

Elves upgrade their farms. Their stockpile increases. They also train a unit of naval warriors.
Elvensmiths make their own kind of iron, long and light. Its about as hard as iron can get without being steel. They are sharp and curvy.
Elven archers recreate their bows to be bigger and stronger so that they can shoot thicker arrows farther.
The navy is sent along the northern coasts. They find a cove the home of beautiful mermaids! Many an elf stays behind, professing their love and staying behind. No obvious malice is apparent from such an action.

Mine is upgraded. The golems find iron. A market is also upgraded.
The barracks is built. Military units can be trained in larger units.
Golems construct their bodies to become spiky, effectively becoming a weapon by itself.
A group of finfolk and wood golems go through the portal. After some seconds of their tethers to this world being undone, and grasping to the other world's tether, they emerge -- wet. On the other side, they are in a sea. The sea is purple. The sky is black. Where in the world are they?
They find the missing finfolk rather quickly, as they are adept to the sea! Unfortunately, their stony companions sank to the bottom--of where it turned out there was none.
The finfolk tell you you are in a mirror reflection of the continent, and in fact the world. The sky has a ceiling. The sea has no floor. They tried going landside, but did not want to get lost, so gathered near the portal, which took up a whirlpool in the sea.

Hive scouts negotiate where they may find the elves. Will the hobgoblins tell them?
A large sacrifice is given to study warding magic. They learn Warding (III)! The magic allows them to embue environmental wards, which are dormant until activated, at which point a phantasmal wall appears.
Warding (I) allows the wards to block physical attacks.
Warding (II) allows the wards to block physical and magical attacks
Warding (III) builds on Warding (II) and destroys the physical or magical assailant as soon as the impact is born onto the ward.
Every activation of the ward by an attack will have a sacrificial cost.
A home is made for the corrupted elf. He doesn't show any obvious signs of gratitude or remorse. It is speculated if he is now as empty minded as the drones. He rots in the tunnel, most likely containing the corruption inside of him for a very long time.

Hobgoblins build a lot of farms, a market, a barracks, a mage tower, two watchtowers, and an alchemy workshop. They also train a lot of military. Nearly all their population has a role.
Additionally, two roads are constructed. The treasury room emptied out quickly this turn.
Finally, they did trade potion tech with the elves. The elves can now manufacture their own airship fuel.

Upon reaching the coast they will take to the skies, the Elven foot soldiers and cavalry (Also equipped with bows along with their main weapon) will make their way through the desert following the south east most river into hive land. We will link up with Hobb,Italian and Dryad forces and commence the assault on hive city from the air and land.

Action: The Countess learns of the plans of the Alliance to march on a new enemy in the southwest. She instructs the barracks to train 2 new archer units.
Action: The archers march with the rest of the Alliance.
Action: The Ironwood is propagated from the existing tree, so that several begin to grow in each settlement.
Action: The first Ironwood tree is harvested via Greenweaving to outfit as many troops as it can provide for while being left alive and growing.
Action: The Countess sends additional crystals to the Naiads, and can promise them many more if they properly join the forces of Ralia as citizens. Food is bountiful, the culture is peaceful and eco-friendly, and they can keep the Naiads and their lake well protected.
BUILD: The Countess commissions the construction of a greenwoven roost for the dragon, with a dais upon which the egg is seated. The Countess presides over all business in the presence of the egg, intending to be the first living thing the hatchling sees upon emerging into the world.
Develop: TECH - Ironwood armor, light and flexible but hard as steel, made via greenweaving

action: try to decipher another memory from the human guard. about their cities this time, I would like to know the rough location, population size and standing defences. as much as he can remember.

>>1585331
Our peoples are in constant contact, communication and trade. As soon as the Hobgoblins and Italians became aware of you, so did the Elves, Remans and Dryads. And I guess Golems. They've kinda been doing their own thing but now they're joining the party.

Hey man, feel free. You have seven hundred flying archers and a kickass fortress. You've done well for yourself.

If we find Giant lizards I want them.

If you think we're going to murder you without trying diplomacy first, you must be thinking of the humans. Who have so far treated your envoy with respect and brought them to parlay with the Hobgoblin leader, no?

>>
>>1585678
[point taken, but you said it yourself if your not in the alliance that seems to be a good way to be on the receiving end. so by logical course it would seem you would join and the humans seem to be in control, and the leaders choices are often the only ones that are passed through]
but as I said blindly trusting so, eh who can tell
>>
>>1585694
Also they probably eat humans. Not that I'm a humie or anything but that's really bad.

Golems create wooden stake bolts, and stony quivers for them. The bolt launchers have increased capacity for these bolts now.
They make the first wave of Iron golems from iron. They are very heavy, but very tough to bring down. They are ten to start with.
A group of 200 battlegolems are trained.
The shore on the Mirrorland is explored. They find that the land's soil is tough, but brittle. Trees here are made of some sort of metal, and bear glowing blue fruits. No sign of any creatures are apparent. The finfolk wizards tell you they sense a great deal of magicka about this place, and would like to establish some folks here to research magicka, with your permission of course. They can even help build a platform and bridge from the portal to the shoreland.
The golems send 275 to the edge of the Hive desert.

Elves increase their stockpile after using the plow in their agricultural endeavors.
A more purified recipe is created for the hobgoblin's Burning Elixir, designed to produces more smoke than flame, and to burn for a slower period, ideal for ballooncraft journeys.
The elves send their entire army and five airships to meet up with their allies at the edge of the desert.

The Crystal Dragon hatches. The Countess is overjoyed. She can care and name her pet if she pleases.
Ironwood is propagated, harvested, and planted. A grove of ironwood is established. Its bark is strapped to the archers being sent out.
More crystals are sent to the Naiads. To your proposal, they cannot comprehend what is meant to be a 'citizen'. Naiads spend their entire time in the lake. They need not leave, nor do they wish to. They will be very upset, but unwilling to prevent, if you decide to claim the lake as yours. Protection is appreciated, and they would like to recompense by allowing you access to some vials of Purified Water, a basis used in only the purest of elixirs.
Work is being done to combine magics. They cannot make any kind of corruption arrows, as corruption must be drawn out through spells. Wards cannot be corrupted, so there is no need to purify them. The only combinatory magic they can understand is with greenweaving shapes and they biochanting the shaped plant. In this way, they can create great iron structures without needing to mine or cast large amounts of iron.
Archers are trained and sent south with the Alliance. They send 450 total dryads.

I was planning on sending at least twenty. In my mind the streamlined large Airships are about 25 feet long and 10 feet wide. constructed from thin wood and leather sheets the hulls are light and strong. A trio of long, cylindrical balloons are above the "carriage". A pot of burning Elixir provides the hot air needed to lift the craft. A pilot, a propellorman and four archers make up the crew of the Airship.

The sneaky bugs at the hobgoblin city know of the plot to march on the desert. The Hivemother can now make the appropriate preparations.
The scout drone asks about the elf from the hobgoblin. The kill on site prerogative initiated by the hobgoblin regime has forced them to lock the bug up to be killed.
Wards are placed all around the hive, consuming food. A food unit or equivalent will be sacrificed for every activation by an oncoming foe.
The human guard does not know specifics about population size, but he knows the pathway from his lands to the hobgoblin city. The Hivemother knows the trading routes built now. She also looks into the defenses at the time of the probing, but has no idea of any recent military developments the Italians or their allies may have made.
A drone is sent to the giants. At the word that you have found a food source, they grow agitated. They howl in glee and delight and plead you to give them the manmeat. You tell them you need to figure out how to get it safely, but they cannot listen to this. Had you been made of flesh, they would've eaten you and the dirt beneath you. You might have an idea now:
> Attempt to recruit the giants (1d10)
> Promise them their manmeat
Finally, the drones learn how to be sneaky in the desert.

Roling for horses
>>1586243
I thought you were talking about some kinda hindenburg stuff, hence why I gave you 5.
>>
>>1586293
Remans cannot find horses in the Eastern Elflands
>>
We can save the inevitable conflict actions for the next thread! Excited to see what will happen. If the Hive does get completely wiped, Hiveanon will be eliminated from the game, I'm sad to say. Such are the consequences of running a civilization
>>
>>1586311
I have question about the game itself. Is it possible to find new landmasses. Perhaps even landmasses that could be the starting points of other player controlled civilizations.
>>
>>1586320
There is absolutely no way I will manage more than 7 civs. If Hiveanon dies, perhaps I can introduce a new one to take his place.
>>
>>1586320
Also answering your main question will affect your playing style either way so i will neglect to answer.
>>
>>1586328
But I already have plans on how to carve up his land. Maybe have another continent for new players that we can colonize as well.

Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>1586293
the man meat attempts to eat the hive, so you can catch the food fresh.
action: dig a tunnel away from the hive, move the queen with it as far as it will go near the sea.
action: hide half my forces under the sands nearly a kilometre from the hive in the direction of the green sea.
tech: make a new trap a giant beartrap made of chitin and stone teeth, designed to impale the unfortunate being in its stone teeth
action: speak with the hobgoblins
"what has the hive done wrong? if the hive has hurt this one in any way please let us fix it. may we speak with others to repair this harm, the hive does not wish to harm anyone"
action: try to convince the hobgoblin to call a meeting of the leaders to plead our case.
action: make the described trap
[I'm still going to monitor this thread and occasionally comment if I'm killed.]
>>
>>1586330
That will be unfair to new players. They arent just NPC civs you can conquer. No, its best not to introduce new players.

Here's a five minute doodle. Excuse my shitty handwriting

>>1586331
You have managed to convince the giants to join you in the final stand. They number in total of 150, with the strength of 750 men. They are all manmeat crazy.
>>
>>1586331
Why not just take a royal egg? There's bound to be at least one laying around it would serve as a good escape boat.
>>
750? shit my chances just went up
well 1500+750= 2250
huh I might not be fucked
>>1586338
I will consider it

>>1586343
and question, what are your objectives? pure extermination?, slavery? or beating me into a vassal state
I would put out a point that if you were going for slavery you would need the queen, so that's unlikely
>>
>>1586180
100 food? Is that an error or did we spend everything with ironwood and the dragon?
>>
>>1586224
Research onagers
Train a unit of archers/composite bowmen
Look for horses in the Italian lands
At this point I might consider buying horses from anyone else if they can find them. I'm also considering changing the name from Remas to Rema.
>>
>>1586354
For me personally it's nothing personal. I want close trade relations with the people in the pact, and if going to war with you will help lower the tariffs or have them help me in a time of need in the future, then I will march to war.

There is no locking up to be killed or diplomacy from bugs. They are killed on sight.
>>
>>1585390
You can see the bug people in Twin Rivers with your traders.
>>
>>1586331
Also hey sucks to suck. Geomancy and Sappers mean you your underground and traps will be your undoing.
>>
>>1586389
yeah I would like your motives please. its a bit strong for someone whom I have scarcely interacted.
>>1586399
we will see. I pray to my gods that we don't, but it seems diplomacy will not help me and force must be used.
its a good thing you wont know about traps until they pierce your army's hides
>>
>>1586402
>units trained in the art of trap spotting and disarming
Ok
My reasons are that you value the alliance of these giants enough to openly ask for the meat of our people. Now this is all OOC because your bugs are killed on sight, but if you say killed the giants. This could all be stopped.
>>
>>1586404
its a bit hard to know that when you cut off the ear I proffered. and besides I say this once, I say this a thousand times. I seek to help. if you had say brought your grievances to me then it would have been resolved. but I have a feeling this train of death has no breaks
also SHIT, when did you get fucking sapppers?
>>
>>1586409
A long time ago.
>>
>>1583435
>>1586354
>>1586402
This is all most of the alliance knows - that you're a swarm of military units desiring manflesh. That's pretty threatening, and yes, it's a game of telephone that's distorted, but ICly all we know is what we've been told. Once the other races meet you, that can change, should you make efforts to communicate instead of simply killing us all.
Dryads would prefer to remain peaceful. We only act when threatened, and as it stands, we're given to see you as a threat. You're psychic. Use that.
>>
>>1586419
well I have only one trick left in my book that can be used in such a way.
gods lets see if this is good.
and from your view, I sort of understand this now.
but on the opposing side I have a large amount of beserker units who probably wont listen.....
>>
>>1586311
Are we doing another turn here, or saving turns for next thread?
>>
>>1586429
Well if we are saving conflict actions I think we are saving them, though the hive already did their turn.
>>
Did anyone look at awful doodle?
>>
>>1586432
actually that was prep, and at the countesses request, I have only one last plea to make you all reconsider. but I don't know if it will work, if I'm honest I think the only people who could be dissuaded are the dryads and the hobgoblins
>>
>>1586450
But we the Hobgoblins are who started this all. And you will get a final plea as we almost open the first battle, yeah.
>>
>>1586450
The Elves could. We can all turn this against the giants who we can all assume are evil (desiring manflesh) so lets look at it this way. The elves will call off their attack and focus on the giants. They are the reason this was started.
>>
>>1586450
You need to do something ICly. We can discuss the game all we want, but it would be metagaming to use that knowledge to guide our actions and motivations.
>>
>>
>>1586450
If hobbos dissuede, the golems wouldnt march either.
>>
>>1586459
the hive will open psionic communication before the battle is to be made, our final plea will go through. after that that's up to you all.
[my ideas were, hobgoblins are angery at the hive for helping the giants, so they are truly trying to target giants, hive or no.
the dryidas are passive, ergo want to avoid conflict.
the elves ooc you said were for the laugh it would bring. to stop your humour is unlikely
and well the humans already have decided how they want to divvy up the loot
>>
>>1586467
Golems have no reason to attack if the hobbos stop. Soooo yea. Bank on that too.
>>
>>1586467
Now magic has a large cost associated with it. Sending out a message to all the leaders will likely have a big cost. I shall wait for next thread and for OP to count the cost before I give an official response.
>>
>>1586475
hmph, if that is true a single drone will not make much difference. anyway when is the next thread? in a couple of hours?
>>
>>1586479
I don't know exactly. I actually will be busy today and my first post will be with the accidental ID I used for my other quest just to confirm it really is me.
>>
>>1586467
The elves just want to kill SOMETHING
>>
>>1586564
It isn't that I forget, it is that I'm too lazy to change while I'm running my quest sometimes
