I just want to clarify something, re:
>>>1586180
>>>1586359

I wasn't sure if that was a typo.

>>1586720
Its not

>>1586722
Actually no, it should be 200 food.

let it begin
>parlay
send out a drone this will be the last time for such talks

Hobgoblin leader here, sorry but I'm very busy today.

>>1586762
its alright, I remember your terms. I will assume your envoy will say as such?

>Elves stand ready. Blood will be spilled this day. Either the blood of the demon giants or the blood of the hive.

>>1586722
>>1586728
Okay then.

Action: The Countess, realizing how many of their food stores were expended recently, sends three teams of scouts in different directions to find new food sources.

Action: The Dryad forces on the edge of the desert are ordered to maintain their distance, bows strung and ready but playing a defensive role until moves are made. An envoy is sent by the Dryads to meet the Hive's parley.

Develop: TECH - Hanging gardens. With the settlements and lands around the Dryad territory full of fertile farms and gardens, it was only a matter of time before they started using their treehomes for more room for crops.

Develop: CULTURE - The Countess decides to formalize education. All Ralian citizens, be they Dryad, human or any interested Naiads, will undergo a structured period of tutelage in their youth to better prepare them for life. They learn magic, science and cultural mores, as well as practical skills such as farming and naturalism to reinforce Ralian identity.

The Countess names the dragon Starsong and appoints 3 trusted mages to assist her in personally training and educating the dragon. If Starsong is intelligent, the Countess hopes to bring it up to the highest possible par.

Hey guys.

>>1586779
hi, will you send your envoy with the dryads?

>>1586795
I'll send one

>>1586795
Yeah.

>>1586795
A elven envoy will join, under heavy guard.

>>1586753
>>1586809
>>1586799
Who will speak for the Alliance? The Dryads are troubled by what we've heard of the Hive, but avoiding loss of life is why we're here to begin with. If there can be peaceful resolution, we will support it.

>>1586824
>the hives drone stands midway from both forces, waiting

>>1586714
Action: They agree to the fish people terms and leave 50 Golem with them to assist with any construction they need.

Action: The mounted rhino riders hold the front line, like a wall, waiting for the signal. A GoldHead leader approaches the hive for their parley.

Develop: The golems begin a several turn project. They attempt to make a water golem core, figure out the cost and the type of magic needed to create such a thing.

Develop: 100 golems sacrifice themselves to create rain and windstorm magic. This should assist the fishmen with what they need. Hopefully the fishmen understand the weight of this sacrifice.

>>1586824
I can speak for the alliance if that's okay with you guys.

>>1586714
Action: Search for horses in Italian lands

Action: Train a unit of composite bowmen

Develop: Research into the construction and usage of onager siege engines

Develop: Take our spears, shorten them, make them a tad lighter and get javelins

The envoys meet: a dryad, a hobgoblin, an Italian, a golem, and a Hivedrone with the Voice of the Mother. They can now discuss the situation at hand.

Since hobgoblin anon will be away, the discussion terms will only conclude when he returns. You can leave any offers for him to make the process easier once he returns.

>the speaker chitters at the approaching beings

the hive greets you, in this a dire hour.
why have you come here?

>>1586862
Whose leading the negotiations for the alliance

>>1586867
Greeting speaker for the hive, we are here because of the threat you pose to us all. Now we can forgive this, but for a price

>>1586714
Interesting thread OP but can you tell me the average GDP per capita in the merchant state of italia and what their import tariff rate is?

>>1586868
There is no leading. I'll make my proposition while I have the chance.

The Giants are the problem here, if we all work together to tell them there won't be an issue.

>Action. The elves send forth a envoy to speak with the hive. These giants, if the rumours are true, are the real threat.

>Action- A group of elven explorers are sent to search the dustlands thoroughly for anything of note. The Isolationist elves are to be asked if they know of anything.

>Develop-a elven engineer who was inspecting the schematics for a Hobb crossbow begins sketching up the idea for a larger version. Created from strong wood, sinew and bronze strips and bolts this "scorpion" can throw a meter long bolt hundreds of yards with deadly accuracy. The Larger Elven Airships and the Elven navy commission dozens of them (Develop deck scorpion)

>develop- The Sverelfan fisher-elves begin using a new method of fishing. They pull a large basket shaped net between two ships and then hauling up the fish. In VERY large amounts. (Develop Fishing fleet)

>>1586872
you insult the hive even as you complement it, this is rather blunt of you. the hive seeks to help.
that is all.
>the drone seems to sneer at the thought of anything else

and what price would you have us pay?

>>1586867
We have heard troubling rumors of your kind. We have heard you seek man-flesh, and possess a flying army of enormous size. What are your aims?

>>1586881
Fell them that is. There is no price that needs to be paid by the bugs

>>1586887
you trust roumors rather than looking at the source?
you are all very bad with this diplomacy.
we seek only to help, the giants are hungry we feed them, or try to.
the elfin man like him
>points at the elf
is sick and lost we care for him

>>1586885
The blood of the giants. The flesh eating brutes you have in your employ. Either they die today or your race dies today.

>>1586894
You said the giants crave meat, that is against 4 full nations. Choosing a small group bloodthirsty tribals over the rest of the nations is not a smart move.

>>1586894
You must understand, we are many nations, and many people. This is why we are here, for diplomacy rather than violence.

The man-flesh is for the giants, not yourselves? Why ally with such vile creatures?

>>1586896
>>1586897
if you all dislike the giants themselves, why bring this to us. we attempted to help you by removing the scum, the filth that has been outcast by yourselves. we sought to help them with thier hungar

>>1586899
because they are Hungary and the hive wishes to help

>>1586901
Because you are stronger than the giants and claim to be an ally of them. The giants have t left your land yet either

>>1586901
Do our lives mean so little to you? This is what troubles us - you amass an army and are willing to disregard our lives and cultures. We have much to offer should you choose to ally with us, and we will help drive the Giants from your lands should you agree to coexist peacefully with our peoples.

>They are Hungary

>the speaker seems to argue with himself for a brief moment

>>1586897
you are no less bloodthirsty in your friends
>points to the orks
>>1586896
that is a threat? or an fact?
>>1586902
hmph. if this will result in the hives destruction. we have no choise

>>1586907
It has a point. We should deal with the orcs at some point. But right now, they fight with us, not against us.

>>1586907
The Orcs are a problem, but can be satisfied with a plan we have perhaps.

[Now I must go, good luck friends]

>>1586907
A fact. Hive city will be rubble by sundown and your race will end if the giants do not fall. Either fight against them with us or fight with them and fall.

Choose. Elves are long lived but our patience has limits

>>1586921
you have still not answered why there was one who looks like you roaming through our lands in pain.

and what would you have this one do? strike while they are on our doors?

>>1586921
Threats do not serve to endear our alliance to these new people. We must offer them respect if we can expect it in return.

>>1586907
We seek only to secure our own lands against threats - and you are not a threat. Misguided and perhaps morally questionable, but it is the influence of the Giants who have brought this upon us all.

We must choose to be a better, stronger alliance. We can select a better course than annihilation.

Let our Dryads examine a giant - perhaps they are corrupted and can be cleansed. If you can allow us this, it will be seen as a step of good faith toward one another, AND toward the Giants, who may yet live.

>>1586924
You KEPT that cursed creature? That foolish demon who endangered his entire race with his idiocy? He was meant to wander the desert until he died. Where his corruption could harm NO ONE.

With the hive from the rear and above and our forces from the ground we can crush the Giants. If you would live, you must turn on your so called "Allies"

>>1586930
this one is more weary of you, than of the flint ear.

but it would probably eat you. *sigh* the hive has a plan.
if we order the giants forward and attack from behind, you can kill them quickly and effeciantly

the hive does not like this.

>>1586932
>the speaker clenches and unclenches what passes for its hands
you sent one of your own.... to our desert.... TO DIE WITH NO PURPOSE?

>>1586937
The price we ask of you is the death of the Giants, no more, no less.

>>1586937
If the Giants are your allies, can you not ask one to submit to a simple examination? We can still avoid all bloodshed. We will not harm the Giant, but perhaps it can be cured of its hunger for man flesh.

>>1586939
>when the speaker calms down he nods

the hive wants 3 prices of its own,
1. knowledge of the cursed one.
2. that the elf never comes back to our lands, if they do we hold the right to kill them.
3. the hive seeks to help. we wish to help those in need in any way possible. even [chittering] wasteful elves

>>1586937
He was too dangerous to remain among us. He accepted his exile and was on his way to a place as cursed without as he is within. You should have let him be. He will return with us. An eternity imprisoned. Unbreakable chains. His corruption WILL. NOT. SPREAD.

Now choose. The giants or your race. We grow tired of deliberation.

>Elven Envoy leaves to his troops.

>>1586945
it tried eating the drone that told them we found some food source, even thought it knew we were not eddible

ready your armeys the giants will advance in a few moments, we will strike from the rear. this negotiation is over, do not fail.
>the speaker turns and walks back to the hive

>>1586950
We can purify the Exile. We have the magic to do it. Send him to us and we will draw out the corruption so it cannot spread or infect other creatures.

>>1586952
Then it seems battle it is. I am sorry we could not avoid this travesty.

>Dryads fall back, but will only act defensively to protect the back lines. They will not attack unless attacked themselves.

Rolled 53, 9, 28, 82, 27 = 199 (5d100)

[I will roll for the giants, okay first rolls for the giants, lets go]

>the lumbering beasts of flesh begin a loping run at the alliance

>>1586976
whoops never mind this, we have to wait till the other one gets back]

[Using the trip to prove it is me back on my PC]

So if we are all in agreement then, the giants die and we go back to peace? Perhaps we can all find a common enemy to unite against.

>>1587770
I think Hiveanon doesn't agree to give up the giants

>>1587958
No hiveanon is attacking the giants once they charge

>>1587770
Kill them all

>>1586949
>>1586976
Isn't this roll for him controlling the giants to attack the Alliance?

>>1588038
He is attacking the giants, but roll d100s anyways. Don't we use d10s?

>>1588051
We do, thats odd.

I need clarification from hiveanon when he comes back. Your plan is to attack the giants?

>>1588072
I think he said he lives in the U.K. and it's almost midnight there. This may or may not be a slow day.

>>1588072
>>1588051
Oh, I miswrote in the OP, I want you to use 1d10

>>1588077
He said his plan was to have the giants attack the Alliance on their own then flank the giants in the back.

Golems wait patiently for a decision to be made. They really have no stake in this outside of resources should the hive or giants fall.

Golem asks the Hobs if those orcs are a good idea to have around.

>>1588099
If my solution doesn't solve their blood lust then they won't be worth having around. Speaking of I should do my turn.

>>1586714
Develop: Blood Ball. One where players fight over a ball of animal skin and try to get the ball to the opponent's side of a field. No weapons are allowed, but any body part goes.
Develop: Basic learning for Hobgoblin youth. With so much food the population will be growing and it will save time if they are taught things in groups.

>Upgrade Market in Twin Rivers

>>1588141
The hobgoblin forced take the back line while letting the Orc act as our front line. Geomancer will prepare to use left over gold to counteract anything involving the ground.

Rolled 5, 10, 7, 1 = 23 (4d10)

>>1588149
>Elves attack.

The elven airships burn fuel, rising rapidly to fire down upon the giants from beyond their reach. Using their powerful bows they fire heavy tipped iron arrows into the faces of the giants.

The elven stag riders charge and kite the giants riding in circles around the giants and peppering them with arrows. They aim for the eyes and throat.

The elven light soldiers charge, firing as they go. They slash at the giants feet and legs, attempting to hamstring them. Using their leather armor and natural agility to avoid the clumsy behemoths.

The Elven spearmen jab at the giants groin and thighs, attempting to open the great arteries with their razor sharp spears

Holy shit this has been a slow day

>>1588527
Are you OP? Get a trip or a name man come on

>>1588541
Nigga I'm >>1586854

Wait, these conversations are confusing. Are we battling?

>>1588554
NIGGA PROVE IT

>>1588583
Im attacking. Join in if you want spoils

>>1588623
Ehhhh

>>1588624
The hobgoblins invited the golems. We dont wanna make enemies by attacking unprovoked.

>>1588662
Im attacking the Giants only.

>>1588680
Oooh. Alright.


The golems attack the giants as well as new information has come to light.

>>1588259
>>1588849
We are literally just waiting for the giants to walk into us. No need to rush things.

Rolled 7, 7, 4, 7, 8, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 9, 6 = 87 (12d10)

>>1588149
Eh fuck it, no reason not to roll at this point, we have a plan and everything. First 5 dice are Orcs, last 7 are Hobgoblins

>>1589389
>inb4 the hive decides to switch plans and attacks you alongside the Giants

>>1589502
I think those rolls assured no backstabbing

Rolled 6, 4 = 10 (2d10)

>>1588849
>>1589389

>>1589502
Theyre outnumbered more than 3 to one. They'd literally have needed to roll all 10's to have even the slightest shot at beating us.

okay I'm back
the hive can confirm I am ordering the giants forwards, then plan to shoot them in the back
and yes in from the UK and yes it was mid night

>>1590169
Are you going to roll to attack the giants as well?

Is OP kill?

Rolled 3, 8, 6, 1, 7 = 25 (5d10)

>>1590169

Giants are overwhelmed by the allied forces. The elven airships shoot a barrage of arrows from above, keeping their gaze high while hobgoblins drill bolts in their chest. About half of the giants fall for it. Elven riders manage to incapacitate many a giant, saving potentially eaten allies. Elven soldiers slash at the giants feet. They fell more giants before being eaten themselves. The spearmen face the worst luck, being picked up in groups and swallowed whole by the monsters.

The golem bravely threw their bodies into the legs, toppling the giants down for they to be hacked to death by elven spears, mad orcs, and golem hammers. Giants try eating them, and finding their teeth broken, throw them far to be smashed by ferocious velocity.

Orcs are most effective, many heroically climbing up a giant using knives to hack at its heart. Hobgoblin geomancers sacrifice their lives to shuffle the ground and topple the giants over, allowing many an orc to slash and hobgoblin to shoot them to death.

The battle wasn't without casualties, of course. The giants recover wounds quickly after gnashing on the bodies of stray hobgoblins, elves and orcs. They had decimated a good number while on their feet, but once fallen they were quick to die.

> Casualties: 30 orcs, 70 elves, 50 hobgoblins, 65 golems

The allied forces will take the next turn to tend to their wounded in the desert before they can be ordered for further actions.

More barges and mariners are made and sent to the buglands. They guard the supply routes.

They find a plant that when crushed makes a white powder that is very sweet. Demand for it is once more popular, and commerce increases as a result.

They investigate the white tree. Some of the more magically attuned detect it as a magical nexus! Settling near the tree will surely advance magical research. The tree bears some apples, also white. When eaten, they taste like regular apples.

Isolationists, when asked, tell you of a rich city in the desert built with gold and jewels, and stocked with a full magical library. It is shrouded in powerful illusion magic, so it is quite difficult to find.

The elven explorers go as far as they can. They find nothing.

A deck scorpion is created to launch projectiles. Fishermen use large nets to haul fish, increasing food stockpile.

50 golems are assigned to create a platform for the Mirrorlands. It is a modified Smallhull ship with large side hulls to help maintain its position.

Golems attempt to make a watery core. They discover they cannot create themselves out of non-solid material, and such knowledge would require knowledge of Element manipulation, such as those for water, fire, or lighting.

Golems are sacrificed in the pursuit of weather manipulation magic. They reach Storm (I), which gives them the ability to create clouds. They learn that these spells are very sacrifice intensive if they want to harness its awesome power. The minimum amount of sacrifice simply creates one cloud, and with variably more, they can create a group of clouds that has a chance to rain more likely to the number of clouds, but they do not have the power yet to manufacture lighting clouds.

Hobgoblins upgrade their market.

They invent a sport to keep the red orcs entertained. It seems to work for delaying their bloodlust. They now can live ten turns before needing to slaughter either themselves, the hobgoblins, or others. With the sport being introduced, most likely it will be themselves in tournament.

The hobgoblin youth are treated with basic learning. They are taught alchemy, warcraft, sailing, and siegecraft

The Hive immensely increase their stockpile with their dead giant brethren.

They mimic making their bows like the elves, able to launch large arrows at farther distances.

An envoy goes to meet with the dryads and hobgoblins at the allied recovery camp. What does the hive drone say?

Turn 11 I think starts now!

>>1590661
How many horses are there in total?

>>1590671
dryad ambassador: this one wishes to speak with you regarding three items of intrest. a possible chance for the hive to assist in any way.
the infected elf in the hive, we seek to help him and you said you could.
and finally when can this army be banished from our desert?

hobgoblin: the hive greets you. the hive has a wish to help these new races how may we do so?
and when will your army be ready to leave our desert?
and the hive has an idea on how to sate the orkish bloodlust, would you like to hear it?

action: make these new ballista on the hive we must be better.

action: make another mine

research: the hive wonders if the new weapons can be made mobile? they attempt to make a craft similar to the airships in shape but that roll along the ground

>>1590682
You would know, you caught them. How many horses have you caught?

>>1590687
Is it an action to have my merchent guild expand using my funds? I kinda want it to become the mercantile body of my republic

In that case I captured 80 horses, 40 of which I gave to Italians in the nearest village.

>>1590671
Construct a a quarry near the town of Segesta. That way I'll be able to get stone very quickly

Upgrade the market in Segesta a second time.

Train/construct a unit of onagers composed of 5 onagers.

Scout the mountains in the south near Alte for anything interesting.

>>1590687
Hey OP :) if its not a bother can we get a updated map for reference.

>>1590671
Action: The Dryad envoy gladly meets with the Hive representative, details to follow as it is sure to be a dialogue.

Action: The Countess establishes an order of scouts, the Wardens, who routinely travel through Ralian territory in search of new resources, threats or travelers. Native humans are encouraged to join and work together with the Dryads.

Action: The Countess and her special mage handlers begin to study Starsong to understand what it is capable of, how best to foster its growth and power.

Develop: TECH - Fermentation. Some grapes and berries get sweeter when left to ferment in special circumstances, and produce delicious wines.

Develop: TECH - Improved shipmaking skills so that we can go beyond the river and engage in seafaring for better trade opportunities. Some of the Italian humans who immigrated may help in the construction of seaworthy vessels.

Also I'm not sure I understand our current situation with the Naiads. We had a partnership, and then we proposed a closer partnership/unification and they didn't understand what citizenship was, but did they accept? It sounded like they accepted the protection. At what point do we absorb them and all of their knowledge?

>Develop- a enterprising eleven captain purchases a scorpion for his vessel, attaching a spool of light, strong chain to the bolts. He later sails back into harbor with a dead whale strapped to his hull. his crew report that they had shot the beast and allowed it to tire itself out before spearing it to death. (Develop Whaling ships)

Develop-the elven soldiers report that they feel unprotected on the front lines. Elven Smiths begin producing overlapping armor crafted from their light iron and mail. It is engineered to be a balance between protection and strength (develop Light Iron Armor)

>Action- the Priest-King sends a envoy back to the isolationist elves. A large wolf is brought in a cage. He wishes for them to experiment their corruption magic upon it.

>Spend 50 gold to upgrade market in Sverelfan (just increase the amount if convoys sent out to our allies

The people of Ralia and the alliance are grateful for your assistance in ending the perceived threat - we only wish we could have done more to find a peaceful alternative. If the Hive truly wish to help, they will agree to join the alliance of our peoples, allowing traders to travel and supporting the other nations if called upon.

Regarding the corrupted elf, we can draw the corruption out of him and safely contain it. If you will permit it, we will remove that threat from your people - otherwise the corruption could spread, endangering you all.

We will work to remove ourselves from your lands with all quickness. However, we would like to request your leave to station a small outpost near the border of your lands as a way for you to communicate with the alliance.

Speaking personally for the people of Ralia, we would also ask your blessing to search the grasslands of your territory for animals we may find useful, if you will permit it. In exchange, we can share with you our knowledge of healing elixirs that can keep your people healthy and whole.

>>1590724
No. The corrupted elf will return with us. His shame is ours. He will spend eternity in a coffin of blessed iron. He will never see the sun again

>>1590729
You aren't in this negotiation, I believe the Hive came to our camp to speak personally with us. We would agree to send the elf with you, but let's obtain him and purify him first.

>>1590724
>the speaker nods its affirmation

the hive thanks you for your assistance and will help you with all your endevors that we can,

we would like you to cure the elf but he shall remain with us, he is our responsibility now and I distrust the elves to care for him properly but there is one stipulation to this all. if any of your alliance comes to this place without our permission we hold the right to kill them. so the hive hopes you make the borders very very clear.
other than that the hive wishes you well. there will be a drone for any authorised outing into our territory to avoid unpleasantness and with your consent the hive would have this speaker travel to your capital so that you may contact the hive immediately

>>1590731
Purify him? His curse is his shame. His selfish bid for power could doom thousands. He returns with us as he is to suffer imprisonment or he dies here and poisons this land

>>1590733
Insect. The hive would do well to remember its position. The heretic comes with us or dies.

>>1590717
uh, where did you get a wolf from?
>>1590707
you haven't absorbed them. you offered to, but they refused.

Here was your offer for full citizenship:
> 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.
Here is their refusal where they want to stay in the lake as independents:
> They need not leave, nor do they wish to.
Here is there counteroffer where they offer lakewater for protection:
> 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.

>>1590738
I figured in the massive grasslands and forests of my territory there's bound to be at least one wolf.

>>1590736
feral beast, you would do well to remember YOUR position here. the "heretic" as you call him will not be coming anywhere near any of you, let alone outside the hive.

[and yes you are not in this negotiation... in less your spying on the dryads?]

>>1590742
have you scouted for a wolf?

>>1590744
(Your drone came to the camp, my forces are IN the camp. Youre speaking to the officers which I assumed to include my elves.)

Then it is death. Bring the elf or prepare for war.

>>1590746
Fine then. Disregard my action.

>Action- send the finest hunters and trackers of the elves to find a predatory beast of which there is a physical impossibility of there not being one

>>1590747
[nope only the dryads and the hobgoblins]

can op please confirm?

>>1590750
>The allied forces will take the next turn to tend to their wounded in the desert before they can be ordered for further actions.

Although the elves should not be able to overhear this discussion unless the dryad or hobgoblin allows him imo

>>1590733
We would remind you that the elf corrupted himself and possesses dangerous magic that could be used to do so again, or potentially do so to your Hive. Keeping him around may not protect him if his ambitions grow and his thankfulness for your asylum expires. We would strongly advise you reconsider keeping him - especially so close to your Hive. We cannot make you change your mind, if you wish us only to purify him, so be it, but know that it may be a temporary fix if he is not dealt with another way. bind his magic

We will respect your borders, provided you respect ours as well. We can provide you references to our established territories. We can accept the offer of a drone for authorized outings, as they would likely know many useful things about the land.

We welcome your envoy to return with us to Estrallander.

>>1590738
Thank you for clarifying.

>>1590749
Don't be so sure. We had a tracking bonus and huge swath of fertile riverland/forest and didn't find so much as a fox or owl. We found one (1) squirrel.

>>1590755
the hive thanks you, but what is this binding you speak of? if he brought this upon himself then he will be shown the error of his ways, he will be taught that corruption only leads to death and dying in pain and suffering. but should he refuse to listen, refuse to change... may the mothers mercy be granted

>>1590718
can you please please please specify what you mean by
>Development: Learn how to make basic machines with cogs and gears
What kind of "machine"?

>>1590761
He probably means geared watermills, windmills, etc. Basic things

>>1590761
I'm not sure but I think he might be going for da Vinci type stuff. Maybe stuff like primitive windmills or clocks which use gears

>>1590760
(the spoiler was my ooc suggestion for figuring out this puzzle without killing the elf)

We would recommend researching a method - together, the Hive and Dryads and maybe even others of the alliance - to remove his access to magical abilities, preventing the spread of greater corruption. He chose this path, so trusting any potential change of heart he has is difficult, but we would prefer not to see him killed. The Dryads would be willing to sacrifice much for a peaceful resolution that puts all of our allies at ease - Elves included, we hope. May we communicate with them about the situation? The corrupted is a member of their people.

Also, to clarify, did you authorize us personally to scout in your lands before we leave?

>>1590671
Develop: Higher quality metal (Steel)
Develop: Experiment with new materials we can access to see if any of them burn better than animal fat.

>>1590683
With the giant threat gone our troops have returned home.

>>1590683
We are open to suggestions for how to handle the Orcish blood lust.

Also this is an open invitation for all other races to try Bloodball, perhaps we can organize a small set of matches and give the winner some prize?

>>1590770
[oh whoops, and no the hive said well your leaving anyway if you see something on the way out make a note and come back latter with a drone]

the hive would be willing to sacrifice 300 of our own to assist your research, but that can wait until you are outside of the hives lands. and it was the elves that sent him here, it is the elves that wanted him in chains before the battle and it will not be the elves that get their wish.
we trust you because we see a similar goal in you.. to help others and the hive is willing to extend this to your alliance, but be warned if these beasts you call allies are similar the the flint ears we will have no dealings with them, short of mutual extermination threat

>>1590775
the hive will contravute a 100 drones to stage mock battles with the orks, this is not effeciant but it will be good every [5 turns, not sure what amount of time that would be in the game]

>>1590780
If you are willing to have drones battle the orcs then you may. Though it does not need to be THAT often.

>>1590783
just inform us when they get...restless

and the hive offers you this drone to become uor speaker to you, and your speaker to the hive. do you accept?

>>1590785
We will pass on the offer, but if you wish to communicate you maybe visit our towns as the other races do.

>>1590778
That is a very large sacrifice, but we suppose we are asking for a very potent magic.

We would need to consult the Elves before we can commit to that course of action. For now, we will gladly send 5 Dryads to purify the exile. It will require sacrifice, and we will bear that cost in the name of peace to show all sides our commitment.

>5 Dryads purify the exile and contain the corruption in a crystal to bring back to Estrallander.

>>1590790
the hive understands, we bid you farewell
>the goblin speaker attempts to find the humans

>>1590792
this is acceptable, but the dryads need not be sacrificed, drones are for that, they are expendable your dryads are..less so

dice+2d600

Missing golem's turn

>>1590794
If you insist, we will share the sacrifice together. We will tell the alliance of your participation to ensure they know you intend only goodwill.

The Dryads send an envoy to the Elven portion of the encampment to discuss matters.

>>1590801
The elven envoy is preparing to return home but can spare a few moments to speak. What is the matter Dryad?

Hey OP!
If I wanted to create rain to fill that lake, how many lives are needed?

>>1590835
Lake is filled I thought, do you want to make the lake bigger?

>>1590843
Yes.

>>1590830
We have devised a potential solution to the issue of the exile that we would like your feedback on. We propose binding his magic so that the threat of him is eliminated - that, in addition to our purification, will leave him a harmless thing in the asylum of the Hive. Since we cannot force them to give him up, and we prefer to avoid any further conflict or loss of life, we feel this should meet the needs of all parties.

The Hive feels helpful by keeping him without threat.
The Elves do not need to worry about him spreading his foul magic.
He gets to live.

Does this sound agreeable to you? And if so, would you be willing to share the cost of the research of this magic?

>>1590845
Ok, sacrifices to at minimum create rain would be about 10 lives, the bigger the lake, the more lives you need to create heavier rain, just to give you an idea.

>>1590671
Develop: Between the giant monster and the giants felling their brothers, golems develop a sense of mortality. They begin a traditions of bonefires to honor their fallen.

Action: Upgrade barracks

Action: Search for more magical beasts.

>>1590851
Got it. Do the fish folk even realize the amount of lives given for this endeaver?

>>1590858
[for reference the hive only values the drones like penny's so he is willing to sacrifice many bodies if they think it would help, you might want to ask about that]

>>1590846
The Elven envoy considers the proposal.

"Bind him in body and in spell. Draw forth his corruption and seal it away and leave him in the "care" of these overgrown vermin. The Hive may keep the Heretic. But without any ability to practice his magic. Also we will not contribute to this folly, as we are denied the rights to the Heretic. We sail home for Sverelfan. The priest-King must be notified."

>>1590872
Then bind him we will. The Exile will be unable to leave the Hive or spread any further poison.

>>1590872
[thanks for being reasonable]

>the hive wonders if the humans have already left

>>1590858
They will

right I'm off to bed, and countess my offer is open take the 300 drones for research if you want

>>1590911
We'll have to do it next turn, I believe OP is writing.

>>1590790
The elves wish to know if the trade of a small herd of silver stags is acceptable for a shipment of runestones inscribed with magical detecting runes? They may serve a project of ours well.

>>1590922
That is acceptable.

Hive creates a very large bow. They plant several around their settlement.

With another mine, they have increased gold production.

They design and construct a platform similar to the elven airship. It is quite difficult to pilot in the desert sand.

I propose that the Italians start a new trade route with the golems to the south, this shall benefit both parties and make allow our cultures and people to mix. Hopefully this makes Italia a true mixing bot of ideas with all those trade deals.

Hobgoblins not only upgrade a mine, but build deeper into the mountain. They find reservoirs of coal and quartz veins.

They upgrade their market as they mine.

Scouting around their mountain, five hobgoblins are picked up, one after the other. Looking up, the scouts find rocs! The kidnapped hobgoblins are dropped in the roc's nest, where before being eaten by the giant chicks, they see plenty of shiny loot probably not made or laid by the savage birds.

The living quarters and barracks are upgraded.

The golems search for magical beasts. Rolling for current world and Mirrorlands.

>>1591054
Golem scouts are lucky to catch the infamous fish wizard performing some sort of ritual underneath the Evil Tree! The scouts, accompanied by Finfolk, scare the mage away, who used a Planeshifting spell to escape to the Mirrolands! In his place, lies a large dark ovoid shape. The Finfolk correctly identifies it as one of the seven dragon eggs! The finfolk are fearful of what the egg may contain after the rituals the wizard performed.

In the mirrorlands, the finfolk find shadekin. They tell you the creatures only exist in the mirrorlands. They can identify shadows in the mirrorlands, created by large magical residues in the real world, which can act as locations to create a portal to link the two realms.

They begin to create lighter iron armor by combining traditional armorsmithing techs.

They begin to search for a predatory creature in the woods.

A military unit is trained, and the barracks are upgraded.

BUILD: The Countess commissions the construction of an official Ralian winery to improve the process of winemaking for pleasure and profit.

Dryads scout the Hivelands as they pull out. They meet the proud and nomadic centaurs. They may interact with them in any way they please.

The Wardens scout through Ralia. They find a unique grove with peculiar large stones arranged in a circle. Evidence of magical life perhaps?

The Elven exile is purified, his contamination placed inside a crystal. The elf collapses from the strain of the crystal, his muscles and fat drained from himself until he is a walking bag of skin and bones.

The winery processed is improved, netting in a healthy profit from demand of it all over the continent.

The Dryads attempt to research a very powerful magic -- the ability to completely cut another being's magical abilities. Due to the complexity and severity of the spell, the sacrifice only allows them to reach to the first level -- Silence (I). This tier allows members to silence a being's magical spells temporarily.

Elvensmiths mock Italians and produce steel weapons and tools.

Stag riders are tooled to be entirely strapped with steel. They can now train these lancing units.

I'm sorry, you realize 400 lives were sacrificed to cut off the magic from one person, right? That's not a little disproportionate to "temporarily can't use magic missile"? It's not like it's magic we're going to be using ....ever outside of this instance. I'm just checking. That's kinda bullshit. I get that you need to balance magic and it's been more or less fine, but it's getting to the point where it costs way too much to be absolutely useless. Yeah, build a temple for 250 and get shit magic, but that was an enormous sacrifice from the Dryads AND the Hive. Like almost a tenth of our population. I'm gonna have to ask for a second opinion on that.

Golems take back their egg to the capital, where they build and nest and learn to purify it. With a sacrifice of so many golem lives, they reach Purification (III), where they can learn to extract the corruption and place it inside an inanimate object. They extract the corruption and place it inside a Golden Head for now.

Mirrorland team use their shadekin to locate the place in the Violet Sea where the Golem Capital is located. They do not know how to link the worlds, however they know it will demand a lot of sacrifice to learn and cast.

They increase their efforts to build golems by increasing their resource stockpile of materials golems are made of.

Hobgoblins build a stable to store their silver elk.

They have a 'steel revolution' and renovate all their tools to be steel.

Water mill construction increases their food stockpile.

They send 100 crossbowmen and an unknown number of elven units to deal with the rocs. They are high in their nests, and they are a little larger than the balloncraft units the elves have. Whats the game plan fellas?

What say we use it this one instance and then the power of it overwhelms our minds and we don't learn it, we just managed to make it work this once so it goes away again?

Using ironwood arrows and armor, the first unit aboard the elven balloons aim for the Rocs eyes to defend the balloon craft.

The second unit is with the Hobgoblins, using suppressing fire to hold Rocs at bay and keep them from snatching up their allies, pelting the bird's bodies and faces when they get close.

Italians explore their lands. They find cows guarded by a horde of very aggressive minotaurs. You notice their cow herd has a lot of Italian women.

You find red peppers that when crushed give red powder. You figure out it is a spicy spice. When thrown in an opponents eyes, they cry.

The Italians cannot figure out any drawbacks to settling and learning magics near the white tree. The only note of concern is the lack of life surrounding the tree, and overwhelming sense of magicka.

Remans construct more triremes, keeping their biremes.

They learn to use their horses in light scouting. They make one unit.

An envoy is sent to negotiate with the witch. This time, they manage to catch the house with their horses. Upon entering the house up a ladder, the witch looks up from her knitting. A broom is sweeping the floor by itself.

"Alright, alright, you caught me, you little boys. What do ye want from ole Granny Mammers? Spells? Potions?"

Thank you OP, again, not trying to be shitty about it, but with the dice success threshhold already being so high just... consider being a little more flexible in how you can not break the system while facilitating storytelling/rewarding cultural building and actions that reinforce identity a little more? Just consider it. This is a great game and a great concept, just a lil more adaptability and being willing to work with us maybe could push it even further toward greatness. We aren't trying to break the game - at least on purpose. We appreciate the effort and time you've put into it, we've all been having fun and want you to be able to have fun too!

also is there anything the hive may help with

>>1593404
[the hive speaker seems to wither on that statement of friendship is magic. okay I'm serous now]

>the speaker scratches its head
this one could attempt to teach you but the hive is a master of it due to our queen, you may find it difficult. but did you not say that the salves were for looking for animals in the hive lands? you have already found one. instead could you teach us this strange moving circle, that will help with our project.

>>1593417
[woops i totally forgot]

The Dryads share with the Hive the methods of crafting healing elixirs even though we only found centaurs. Close enough.

Which moving circle?

>>1593401

We are still very open to learning telepathy (I), and would be willing to teach you purification (I) in exchange to ensure no corruption reaches your people.

the hive wishes to not hurt anyone, we simply wish to help. we seek to take a non combat role in conflict, to heal those whom are harmed. but yes the hive promises to help those whom are attacked without considerable provocation [*cough*like not getting there own way*cough*]

>>1593438

We ask for military support, not humanitarian aid. A defensive pact goes two ways you know, we will also defend you if the alliance attacks. Unless you also just want humanitarian aid

>>1593447
it would be hiveitarian actualy, but never mind yes the hive agrees to help. this is a DEFENSIVE pact, so if you go to war the hive will only heal unless the opponent try's harming the hives wards. do we understand each other human?

>>1593360
I shall speak on behalf of the new nation, as my contemporary may be inactive for the time being

Develop masonry

There are five rocs, and after the battle, there remained three.

The elven airships were easily overswept by the giant birds. All of them were ravaged by beak and talon, sending fifteen of the twenty airships to the ground, killing many of the elven and dryad archers and hobgoblin crossbowmen who had boarded them. Steel armor helped avoid many more deaths for the hobgoblins and elves.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the allies had fired upwards into the rocs bellies. They find their blots and arrows hard to land on the fast flashes of feathers. The lucky rocs who manage to get pierced slow down, only to experience more pierces from the allies. The rocs retaliate occasionally by dropping giant boulders, crushing many an elf, dryad, and hobgoblin.

Despite the slaying of two of the fowl, they had came later in the battle when the allies figured out the rocs tactics of going for the airship's vulnerabilities. They had retreated with better knowledge of their enemies and fewer men. Surely, next time will be more fruitful.

The Hive speaks with the nomads. They have little to offer, but immense knowledge of the desert. They can share a secret if the Hive has something valuable to offer them, preferably of a magical kind.

They bring the exile back to strength and tell him that he will get his magicka restored when he is redeemed.

The Hive sacrifices food and gold to learn the principles of Golemancy. Their golems are not as intelligent as the golem civilization, and they can only construct such constructs out of crude materials like dirt and stone.

They scrap the giant camp, recovering the corpses of many dead prey, and adding to their stockpile.

The dragon egg hatches. Out pops a rocky dragon! The finfolk tell you that the scales of the dragon are an ideal source of stone to create more golems! They are fused with energy so that when constructed, they can cast spells for a much lower sacrificial cost, but the material is as weak as regular stone. The golems can name the dragon if they care.

After developing steel, they develop steel golems.

A forge is formed. They are able to construct more iron and steel golems.

Commerce increases as golems go by sea to Ralia and Roma.

The corrupted golem head is buried deep in an unused mine, far from anyone's attention.

Dryads share the Hive their knowledge of healing elixirs and the wheel. They also trade magickas.

The dryads send an envoy to the centaurs. The centaurs have great alchemy knowledge and some magickas, with a basic understanding of the "Spirit World". They are proud, nomadic species, believing not in property or permanent housing, preferring to sleep underneath the stars that their ancestors share.

But is that what you want to hear, child of the forest? In the centaur hordes, they believe that a guest must bring a 'gift' or 'offering' to the host upon first meeting. What would the dryads like to give?

They biochant the squirrel to be more intelligent. The squirrel is now as obedient as a dog.

They also develop brandy and support units.

(might do roma a little later today if I dont soon)

Does the dragon die if I make a golem from it?

>>1594600
We offer the centaurs brandy, wine, 3 crystals and cotton cloth.

>>1594605
No, the rocks are actually scales, similar to those shed by the crystal dragon.

Wall are constructed in the major cities of Italia and Alte.

A lot of infantry are trained to protect proud Roma.

The witch is offered money. She throws the bag away.

"Aha! Money? You think these spells would require such meagre a sacrifice as money? Nay! I say, if you want to learn magic young men, bring me a token of a magical creature. A roc's beak, a minotaur's horn, a dragon's tooth. Then, I shall teach whatever ye desire! Ahahaha!"

Rocs swoop into battle. This time, they aren't so lucky. Hobgoblins crossbowmen manage to predict the great birds path, this time hitting their mark more often than not. Once they are low enough, due to heavy bolt injuries, the orcs climb high and leap onto the backs of two of the birds, sending it tumbling down to be stabbed to death by the elven spearmen.

The final roc falls after lucky archers hits the eyes, where it crashes into a dead tree, impaled by the heavy stems.

Casualties: 30 hobgoblins, 15 orcs, 0 elves

Climbing up to the nest, they find two heavy treasure chests, two roc eggs, and a pile of spellbooks. The spellbooks are written in an ancient script, so even if taken and learned, it will take at least one turn to interpret and learn one spell. However, magic experts can make the name out of some of the spells, so they will know what they are learning. The book mainly contains combat elemental spells.

>>1595820
Hobgoblins shall take both eggs for now, but there is a promise to the Elves and Dryads to let them have Roc eggs in the future.

The elves search for the desert town once more. Their check is lowered from a 7 to a 6 from the different avenues of approach.

You don't need to spend food on a festival since the 'food' category is the capacity of the population that your civ can support. Regardless, a festival is thrown to increase the population.

Elves scout the southeastern reaches. They find a cool spring guarded by a forest fairy. They note the springwater is used in powerful alchemy. What would the elves like to tell the fairy?

The elves train the wolves to become companions in life and war.

They develop formal study for their children.

A market is built in the northern and southern most towns. Their price would be 500 gold. A temple is also constructed. With its completion, the elves learn of Flame (III)! They are able to conjure elementals to assist them in battle now. The elemental's time in the realm is variable to the amount of sacrifice.

The elves find the town and are able to break the illusion! The town doesn't seem to live up to its praise; it is in ruins, and the buildings that stand have no hint of gold or jewelled architecture. After going deeper into the city, few elves fall as a result of a hidden Level 3 ward. Elves lack knowledge of Silence, which allows for temporary ward deactivation, so they camp outside.

Both roc eggs are kept by the hobgoblins.

A spell book is translated. The hobgoblins have knowledge of Ice (I). The spell allows them to chill objects via touch. A wisp of cold air extends from their fingertips, similar to how fire extends using Flame (I). They can continue studying Ice to master it, or learn another spell.

A tower is built to take care of the roc eggs.

The centaurs are traded with for improved healing potions. Alchemists are able to understand their ingredients now, which include the horn of a magical creature.
