Putting this out there if theres interest
Rules:
>Everyone get to create 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.
> I will assign a starting magic/tech based on your civ intro
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.
We will begin when all seven areas are chosen.
>>
Example Civ Intro from last time
>Ralia
>Race - Dryads
>Capital - Estrallander (pop 750)
>Villages - Grovespring (pop 150), Seedbrook (pop 100)
>Culture - Peaceful and fond of beautiful things, the Dryads of Ralia tend to gardens, orchards and vineyards along the bountiful rivers of their domain. With an eye for entertainment and a penchant for luxury, they craft living wood into tools and items they use in their day to day life. Ruled by a benevolent but mysterious Countess, they keep largely to themselves, shying away from the other nations.

Villages: Argon, Trelew, Canava, Parde (100 each)
Culture: Ablions pride themselves on being excellent artisans and the more macho pride themselves on being superb swordsmen.

Map so far. Can Acionae describe what their fantasy race looks like?>>1617186
>>
>>1617162
>>1617535
Aelins look virtually identical to human females but the surface is where the similarities end. Aelins were created to be playthings but the fickle nature of their creators blessed them with the ability to procreate as a form of spite from one angry God to another. As they became too numerous to be controlled but too useful for the God's dependency to be removed, they were cast out to this world. From there, they could cull each other, and only the best would be taken to fulfill their purpose. Inherently each Aelin knows of their creators, and believes they were created in their image. They also know that becoming ascended is their true purpose.
They reproduce through a process called "Offering" in which two or more Aelins bathe a small figurine of bone, wood, clay, or stone in a small basin of the blood of those offering. The figurine shatters, and one of the Aelins is chosen to carry the offspring to term.

Popitopia
Race - Fungus
Capital - Opitopia (500)
Villages -Ipipiopia (250), Topi (150), Ptopipop (100)
Culture - The mushroom people of Popitopio have a distinct cast system based on the strand of fungus, divided between warrior/slave, and nobility. The warrior/slave caste, known as Popi, are large, dull creatures, slow-witted but with the advantage of mobility via their trunk-like tubular appendages. The smaller, cleverer, nobility caste on the other hand, the Poia, are rooted to the ground, but emit a chemical pollen that reacts with the Popi, allowing them to be controlled through intense pain (delivered at will by the Poia) if they are regularly dosed. This relationship has turned the Poia into a callous, arrogant race of masters, who take advantage of their brutish slaves to build monuments to themselves, while they research into the nature of the world around them, and plan ambitious conquests for domination over the other 'lesser beings' they share borders with.
>>

Which territory?

Location 2,
Opitopia to the north, around the center of the darker green blob of forest. Ipipiopia resting at the fork of the two rivers just below the forest. Topi in between the two rivers on the eastern edge, but away from the sand, more into the green. Ptopipop to the south west, at the clump of dark green on the border of 4.

>Nation - Serrum Sa
>Race - Humans
>Capital - Svet (550)
>Villages - Vroosh (300) Frss (150)
>Culture - Explorers, the Sers spend most of their time conquering nature, observing the lands and creatures around them. Due to the widespread worship of the sun and the belief in the ""fire" and "heat" that flows through all creatures the Sers seek to triumph over the dark and cold night and all shadows that reside within it.
5th area
Svet lies at the first split of the eastern twin river.
Vroosh lies between the twin rivers where they are the closest to each other, at the border of the green and brown.
Frss lies near the seaside on the eastern side of the eastern twin river

>Amduscae, Kingdom of Knowledge
>Race - Humans, elves, gnomes
>Capital - Sanctum Hold (Pop 500)
>Villages - Guildspire (pop 300), Wyrdenhall (pop 200)
>Culture - The nation of Amduscae is one of discovery, innovation and learning. Called "The Kingdom of Knowledge" and the "Land of Night and Day", the chief philosophy of the Amduscans is that when it comes to knowledge, no stone should be left unturned and every secret of the world must be uncovered and put to use. To this point the Amduscans seek to build great universities within their towers which serve as arcologies for the upper class while the lower class labors outside. Another odd fact about Amduscae is that the castes are split between night and day. The top class - the leaders, researchers, scientists and mages, are awake primarily during the night, while the lower class - peasants, farmers, craftsmen and their supervisors, work during the day. Their upper class works tirelessly from dusk to dawn researching things such as magic, technology, literature, arts, science and humanities, among other things.

>Urtuph,
>Race - Trolls
>Capital – Hanrak (650)
>Villages - Thanwet (150), Korval (200)
>Culture – The trolls of the Island of Urtuph have had a hard life, clinging to subsistence on their inhospitable island. The north is a rocky wasteland, the centre barren hills with little but heather and grass. Winters are cold and the land is constantly swept by chill winds and currents from the north. Only in the south west, where the rest of the island provides a little shield, does the climate approach bearable, where a river runs that does not freeze in winter and trees grow in the swampy valleys.
Perhaps nothing else would live here, but the trolls have managed, living off fish from the river and shore, roots from the ground, and the herds of swamp-pigs they have domesticated. They brew their beer, carve statues of their many gods, and build round houses of stone and thatch. A little taller than a man, but far heavier, they are amazingly strong and have nearly unlimited endurance. They also tend to be conservative, superstitious and somewhat stupid.

Only one territory left. Mushroom anon, I think the dark blob you were talking about was actually a lake, so I put your capital near the shore.
Here are the nation's starting magics/techs
> Acinoae: Creation (I) - allows the creation of other Aelins through ritual
> Alba: Iron Swords
> Popitopia: Greenweaving (I) - allows one to manipulate roots and vines to create small objects
> Serrum Sa - Flame (I) - heat objects up via touch; at maximum power can eject one inch flames from their fingertips
> Amduscae - University - reduced sacrifice cost for magical research
> Urtuph - Poisonthorn Club - attacks result in additional casualties for the opponents
>>
>>1618273
Never mind, its definitely not a lake.
Just waiting for one more. You can plan your actions and researches here in the meantime. Everyone has 1000 gold treasury with 0 income to start. Action costs:
> Build Settlement (500 gold)
> Build Building (Barracks, Market, Mine, Temple, Watchtower, etc.) (250 gold)
> Explore (free)
> Build military unit (50 gold)
> Upgrade Building (50 gold per upgrade)
> Build road (variable)
>>
You should maybe adjust the price of things OP. If someone wanted they could just turn their whole population into military from the word go and march on someone else.

I thought this had died OP. or did something happen?

huh nice to see it back, welp good luck.
enjoy yourself and ill make my way out, I will just play the hive again and I think you want some more variation. enjoy guys hes a good QM.

I'm not a math guy, maybe something like that. Or you could have a military require upkeep.

1) Most of the Sers worship the searing flames, but there are those few, mainly in Frss, who worship the warm, guiding light that grants life
2) Research "light torch" (sacrifice 50 pop)
1) Build fishing huts

>>1618720
What do I roll btw?
>>
>>1618720
We roll 1d10, doesn't seem like any of your actions require a roll however. Also, your magic will be related to creating/giving life/resurrection?
>>
>>1618743
I take it we won't roll for every action then. What determines whether we need to roll or not?
>>
>>1618281
Regular action)Build mine at base of mountain east of Ptopipop
Development 1)Research Greenweaving to create pillars of vines/wood in the mines, allowing us to go deeper into the earth. (Sacrifice 50 pop)
Should I roll for greenweaving?
Development 2) Research into wheel/cart, to carry loads from the mines, and to carry the Poia rooted in soil.
>>
>>1618748
We will only roll for battle. I had required rolls for scouting animals in the past, but that seems to only slow the game. In combat, you will roll xd10 where x is the number of units you have. Units are what you train after spending your 150 gold on military. Its supposed to be structured so that a unit of every military type has the same strength.
>Ex. I have trained three units of orcs. Each unit is 150 strong. Total 450 strong.
> I battle against 3 units of giants. Each unit is 50 strong. Total 150 giants. Although I have more soldiers, we are of equal balance strengthwise

The City of Rome has fallen on hard times. After being weakend by decades of war against its neighbors and a plethora of incompetent rulers, the barbarians from beyond the eastern mountains have finally delivered the coup de grace and penetrated its defenses.
The last hill inside the city still stands against the invaders but for how long? In there desperation the roman people made a pact with unholy forces. In exchange for worship and submission the Vampire dinasty of the "Thredars" slaughtered the barbarians and freed the city from their clutches. But would have death been a mercy in comparison to what the people of Rome will have to endure now...

>Culture - The ruling class of Vampires are more feared as monsters then worshipped as living gods, though they are generally fair to the general population perception will only shift slowly. The Rex(King) holds absolute power but the court is corrupt, filled with intrigue and not uncommoly, dead vampires. Slaves are abundant and serve as cheap labor and food source. The military is proffesional, honed by decades of war and a military career is rewarding and highly respected.

The trolls of the Island of Urtuph have had a hard life, clinging to subsistence on their inhospitable island. The north is a rocky wasteland, the centre barren hills with little but heather and grass. Winters are cold and the land is constantly swept by chill winds and currents from the north. Only in the south west, where the rest of the island provides a little shield, does the climate approach bearable, where a river runs that does not freeze in winter and trees grow in the swampy valleys.

They brew their beer, carve statues of their many gods, and build houses of stone and thatch. A little taller than a man, but far heavier, they are amazingly strong and have nearly unlimited endurance. They also tend to be conservative, superstitious and somewhat stupid.
Development 1: Fish is a big part of troll diet, but we can only fish near the shore with our primitive rafts. Try to develop better ships to go out onto open water.
Development 2: The poisonous trees we use to make our clubs is one example among many of poisonous things on our island. Trolls are naturally resistant to such things, but not immune. We should research healing so our shamans can better treat our people.
Regular: Build a market at Hanrak for 250 gold. Fish and seaweed come up from Thanwet, meat and leather down from Korval, and Hanrak is where all these goods meet and are sold to the bulk of the population.

Trolls start their turns creating large rafts from uprooting logs and tying them together to create massive rafts capable of supporting their weight. Food stockpile increases as a result.
The shamans discover quite by accident that crushing bones of a pig (not just by sitting on it) yield an ingredient that when mixed with nearby wildflowers yield a strong health elixir! It will prove handy in tough times.

They learn to record their scripture in stone tablets. Along with the storage of information, the Albans are one step closer to creating some forms of runic magic from.

The Serrumians sacrifice to learn the power of the light. They learn of Glow magic, which allows them to create an illuminating ball of light that they can hover and place in locations anywhere.
Glow (I) creates a dim ball, about 10 inches in diameter.
Glow (II) allows them to create balls of sizes up to five feet in diameter, and can vary the colors of the light, and is quite bright. They notice it has adverse effects towards dirty creatures and men of impure hearts.
Casting and dispelling a Glow will require a very minor sacrifice, but the upkeep requires no sacrifice.
The construction of fishing huts increases their stockpile. Their population will grow to fill it in consecutive turns.

Carts are invented to help carry loads from the mine, accelerating resource accumulation and income directly.
>>1619070
I think discord might be a bad idea as some in the previous quest grew quite bitter when anonymity was removed. But you can just build a mine, you don't need to explore.
Everyone can post their next (or first) turn now. I will continue it after the other two anons come back or enough time has passed and I think they won't.

Magic: Creation (I) - allows the creation of other Aelins through ritual
Action 1: Develop Markets in Orthena and Hera
Development 1: The construction of ships and exploitation of the seas become a key industry in Thebius. To this end [Shipbuilding] is researched there.
Development 2: Monetary practices are improved. This means that the use of and circulation of coinage is brought under control by the individual city-states and a set of metal standards are introduced by the 3 cities to provide stability for their markets.
>>
>>1619129
>>1619028
Question, OP. What difference does a higher population make? What difference does the population of a settlement make? I assume there's some sort of trade off between a few big cities or lots of little ones?
Also, I'm slightly butthurt that I wasted an action on building one market when Alba demonstates that I could have built one in all three settlements I own at once.

Development 1: The big rafts aren't terrible, but once you get a bit away from land there's still this tendency for the waves to come over the side and knock things off into the water. The crew in particular. So lets carry on trying to build better boats. Maybe something with sides?
Development 2: Inspired by their success, the shamans carry on with their experiments into herbalism. What else can they discover?
Regular: Our island is mostly a barren and empty place, but lets explore it a little and see if we find anything useful.
>>
>>1619236
More towns mean access to more land, which affects effectiveness of farms and number of building slots.
Popultion is a factor to determine how fortified a town is. A player civ can take a 250 town easier than a 1000 pop town.
I can redo the turn so you can buy more markets since you were unaware you could buy multiple.

Sorry, I work so I won't be around to post all the time but I can definitely do it when I'm off. Will I be allowed make-up turns?
>Amduscae
Race - Humans, elves, gnomes
Capital - Sanctum Hold (Pop 500)
Villages - Guildspire (pop 300), Wyrdenhall (pop 200)
Bonus: University - reduced sacrifice cost for magical research
Regular: Every nation starts with a good infrastructure. Begin building mines to strike deep into the earth and extract the wealth within.
Development 1: Our studies should begin with the study of magic. It is true that there will be some lives lost in the process, but we will perform our research ethically. Subjects for sacrifice will be drawn from those nearing death, those sentenced to capital punishment, and those with terminal illness. We can start with elemental magic, as the fundamentals are most important.
Development 2: Next we can research architecture to further improve our arcologies and build better structures in general.

>>Military Units: None
>>Special Buildings: University
The Amduscaens begin by researching elemental magics. The first that catches their eyes is flame. They now share the ability to master flames to the extent that the Serrumians do. (If you wish, you can chance a much larger sacrifice to gain other tiers while researching a magic, that will be at your own risk however)
They begin to integrate into their structures a respect and acknowledgement for their surroundings, understanding the necessary forces, materials, and manpower required to build stronger and larger structures on these environments.
They begin to build a mine in every city, increasing income and giving access to resources.

I'm glad you're still playing anon, I'll try not to rush turns and I can wait for everyone of course. I think I will begin posting when we have at least five players, but won't move on in turns unless we know for certain we lost a player.

>>Special Buildings: University
Regular: Now that we have a steady supply of gold and iron today we can begin trading and bringing in much needed income.
Development 1: We should also look into our safety. Before we develop peacekeepers we should give them suitable armaments to use. The basic sword would probably be the best start.
Development 2: For our magical experimentation, we should turn our focus to earth magics. There are a variety of theorized applications for this, such as the ability to shape greater stone structures, dig and mine with greater efficiency, and strike at our enemies with jagged spires of stone. We wish to explore as many of these possibilities as possible. We have accepted most of the ethically acceptable subjects for our rituals from Sanctum Hold, but Guildspire and Wyrdenhall remain untapped. We can try to gather suitable subjects from there, so as not to put too much strain on any one city.

>Earth Elementals
We trolls have many gods. One of the most important is the Stone Father, who rules over the ground and the rocks. These elementals are surely his servants, so should be respected. Some chieftains and shamans go to visit them and give them small gifts in an attempt to make friends.
Does that use my regular aciton up? If not, then we'll do some more exploration of the island.
Development 1: Trolls aren't great at thinking about things, in general. They're even worse at thinking about more than one thing at a time. In order to combat this, a guild system is developing, so trolls can specialise in a single profession and not have to think too much about other aspects of life. Hopefully this will help the economy and boost production.
Development 2: The first guild to properly establish itself is the new Shipbuilders Guild, based in Thanwet. More boats will be made for fishing and for transporting goods up and down the river under the guilds supervision.

Many scouting expeditions are sent out across the island. Here is what they find:
> A herd of manticores roaming the desert in the southwest, seeming to be protecting an ancient temple of some sort.
> A large, floating, spherical boulder with a large vibrating sound emitting from below its body, on the surface. Certainly, this serves as a powerful magical nexus, and settling here will grant easier research in magicka
> Squid faced men in the east, who are masters of telepathy but otherwise cannot speak. You may choose to interact with them if you wish.
By forming their fishing methods to be more effective and constructing more fishing docks, they are granted a higher stockpile of food.

>>Magic: Greenweaving (II)
>>Military Units: None
Question: So how does population work in relation to food, can I now make 250 more population through development, or do I just have to wait for them to produce by turn?
Question: Also, does Greenweaving (II) mean I can sacrifice anything to build buildings? Since it's magic, can I build things during my development action? Like if I wanted to sacrifice 250 pop, could I build a barracks during my development action, and still do other things during my regular action? Just hypothetical for now.
Development 1: Satisfied with their carriages, the fungus people look for other uses for iron, since they do a good job of shielding carts, could they shield the large Popi as well?
Development 2: The Poia blossom with pride, and order the Popi to begin using wood and stone to construct and carve monuments in the Poia image around the forest cities.
Regular: The Poia have the Popi pull their carts around the empire, exploring the land for any oddities or resources.
>>
>>1620723
1. Population will grow until it hits capacity i.e. until it equals food stockpile. Standard rate is growing at 50 per turn.
2. Yes, although sacrificing 250 people would be more wasteful than 250 gold. We can say you can sacrifice anything of equivalent value to a building cost or upgrade when you cast Greenweaving (II)

>>Other Units: Fishing Boats
The trolls establishes a shipbuilders guild. They are able to construct a variety of ships to navigate the rivers and seas at larger volumes and lowered costs. Trade is accelerated as a result.
The elementals are talked to. They are fairly independent, having little want or need for any material thing in particular. They do agree however, that they want to improve their material form with a special material only found in the snowy regions of the world. Blackstone is said to be imbued with magical properties and is ten times as strong and half as heavy as their current materials. However, it is only located in mountainous terrain, such as those in Serrum Sa and the peak in Alba. If you manage to complete this quest to fetch the stone, they can pledge their whole tribe of 750 to your ranks with no bloodshed.
Trolls scry their island once more. They find a massive, bottomless pit in the northwest, the diameter nearly fifty feet long. Some more magic sensitive claim it is a magical nexus, though the more attuned warn it is a particularly dark and volatile nexus.

Romans implement a tax on trade and create barges to facilitate trade at an improved rate. Along with the construction of a market, the Romans accrue a much larger income per turn.
They explore the land out west. They encounter a wizard's tower, protected by a small cohort of demonspawn tethered to the earth and the wizard's commands. Despite his grand and obvious power, the wizard only displayed such magic as a warning to those who wish him harm. He senses you may be friendlier, and is willing to trade magical spell knowledge or alchemy knowledge for a monster's token. A troll's eye, a minotaur's horn, a manticore's wing, a fungi's spore, what have you, you bring it, he will trade, one item for one magical skill.

Wood and stone are used to carve monuments to celebrate the Poia, decorating the cities and cause for great unity among the fungi.
Carts are sent out to explore the land. They find a forest of living ents, able to uproot and travel upon their heavy oaken feet. They see in their camp an enormous tree bearing golden fruits. The fungi are feared by the ents as in the past the fungi ancestors had cannibalized on the dead forefathers of the ents. How will the fungi approach these forest fathers?

The squidmen, called the Illithids, are received by the scouts. They are proud, if not arrogant folk. They communicate via their minds, unable of common speech. They recognize the potential and power of the Aelins so choose wisely not to harass them, instead asking for a favor. A rival Illithid faction exists on the mainland, on the eastern shore of the land known as Alba. They are willing to pledge their troops to yours if you go forth and help them conquer them there.
Archery is researched. The Aelins can now train archers.
>>
>>1620851
The Poia in their iron cart deliberate over what to do about the enormous tree-men in their way of what will surely be a glorious prize for the nobles of the capital. While painfully chastising one of their Popi for groaning under the weight of the cart, the Poia realize what an asset these Ents could be as slaves. They order their Popi to risk their lives subduing one of the Ents, so they can take it back to the capital and experiment on it with painful pollen, or some other means of control. If all else fails, it will surely be a wonderful banquet for the masters.

Development 1: Beer is a key part of troll culture, so naturally, the Brewers Guild is quick to form in the new system. Much more beer is made and consumed as a result.
Development 2: Trolls are naturally somewhat aggressive, and fights over small problems are pretty common. With troll civilisation progressing constant brawls tend to get in the way of things. The chieftains introduce a system of ritualised duels via wrestling, where weapons and attacking unconscious opponents is banned. Hopefully a reduction in casualties over spilt beers and insulting peoples mums will aid society.

Heran scouts sail to the Alban coast. They observe the Illithids. They have constructed a temple and village via geomancy, ripping up stone in crude and ugly ways. They have brainwashed five giants to protect their town, each of them wielding heavy wooden trunks. The Illithids themselves number 100.
The Aelins learn how to make their smallhull ships taller and more streamlined so they can travel faster and sustain damage. They start with enough to carry their whole infantry.

Regular: The incident with the centaurs has taught us the importance of having a good defense. To rescue the captured citizens and ensure we do not fall victim to such ploys again we should raise an army of peacekeepers using magic and the weapons we researched.
Development 1: We should research suitable armor from the metals we acquired to aid our troops further.
Development 2: We should also begin to research how to domesticate the various fauna to use as beasts of burden and beasts of war as well.

I don't think that's correct. I didn't find illithids and the location of the ice dragon says it's in Serrum Sa's lands. The Ice Dragon should be at the mountains or mountain in the center of Alba.

1) Being such large beasts, any resource or use the mammoths can provide will surely come in large quantites. Their thick, strong fur could possibly be used to create warm clothes or to tie things together.
2) The leaders of Serrum Sa has provided the population with great things so far and it has begun to show itself on the treasury. To make up for this it is decided that each citizen must pay tax to the state.
1) The world must be so much bigger than what has been seen so far and Serrum Sa seeks to shed light on all of it. Several expeditions are sent out to explore and map out what they find. [Cartography][Mammoths]

Development 1: Excited by the developments with the Ent-Popi, the slavers guild forms from the market to fund expeditions to capture Ent from their forest and convert them to fungi. The ones not bought by wealthy nobles as exotic slaves will be sold to the military as battle resources.
Development 2: Young Poia now make a game of battle, rolling around the forests in their carts, waging war against their fellow sporlings with Poia as soldiers, forcing them to battle to near death for their amusement. When the elders catch on, they are impressed by the inventiveness and daring of their progeny, as their Popi limp off the 'battlefield.' A school is formed to train interested Poia in strategy and leadership, using the model formed by the sporlings.

1) Aware of the bizarre dangers that exist the need to arm oneself has become more apparent. Work is put in to develop long blades of iron to use as weapons.
2) Using the thick hide of mammoths to make armor seems like a good idea if battle were to come. Boiling the leather seems to make it several times harder and able to withstand more punishment. Using boiled leather to cover big areas and unboiled on joints and to segment the breastplate makes it a good option for defense.
1) A larger than usual expedition is sent into the harsh mountains to the north. Using mammoths and clothes made from wool will hopefully make the difference between success and death. [Mammoths][Wool Products]

They create a market to sell exotic slaves such as the ents. Slavers go out in regular expeditions to bring back ents. Not many return alive, but they pace a hefty price for the rewards of ent thralls.
A battle school is formed, moreso for battle leaders than soldiers. The fungi are able to train heroes, who when accompanying an infantry troop, can boost effectiveness in combat!

Only two members of the expedition party approach the elves, just in case they turn out to be savages.
Serrum Sa offers up food, iron, maps, wool products, leather armor and mammoths to trade with the elves in exchange for gold, items or information.
Serrum Sa would also like to propose an alliance. We know there are harpies living in the mountains and they looked quite vicious. Who knows what else might loom out there.
1) Research bird saddle.
Being able to ride the giant land birds would be a great asset in both battle and travel. Using mammoth leather should make the saddles comfortable and have good fit for the rider.
2) Research placer mining. Although the amount of gold to be found with this method is not as much as with actual mining it is much cheaper and another source to draw from.
1) Due to the need for more gold some of what we already have is invested in upgrading the mine. More workers and better techniques while also increasing the focus on gold will hopefully help if not at least find new resources.

Action: Construct a new settlement at the Magical Nexus discovered earlier. It will be named Epira.
Development: Research Telepathy
Exposure to the illithid has awoken some of the latent power of the Aelins, and with access to the Nexus they seek to improve their command over mental magics.
Development: Pantheon Worship
Aelins have long known of their origins and the details of their Gods. Until now though the idea of dedicating oneself entirely to the pursuit of a God's aspects in the hopes of Ascending to their favor had not been realized. Now the Aelin do just that. Their Gods: Hera, Orthena, Thebia, Epira, Sophitia, Victoria and Apollonia, take on new roles in the daily life of Aelins as they attempt to curry favor through deed and sacrifice to their patrons.

Development 1: A troll has a bright idea. If you take a small tree trunk raft and turn it sideways, you've got a really big, thick shield. Now they just need to add a handle. Researching shields.
Development 2: Continue weaponising the smelly elixirs. Maybe try and put it into a form where it can be thrown at things?
Regular: Boats, beer kegs, clubs, lots of troll things need wood. Build a logging camp to supply this wood and help the economy.

You can sacrifice resources to have a +1, +2, and so on bonus to your attack rolls since you are using magicka.
The resources you sacrifice have differing values and you do not know the exact amount required at the moment per tier. If you wish, you can say you sacrifice gold/people/food until you get +7, or just say you sacrifice 100 gold and see how much of an edge you gain.

The Aelin warriors faced a tough battle with the Illithid's Giants. Tens of warriors are crushed and mashed, though the Illithids bore arguably worse. Still, their combined efforts brought the gruesome beasts down.
The rogue wizards attempt powerful telepathic magic on the aelins, of whom many are injured, but have negligible effects on their brethren. The camp is cleared, and chest of 250 gold is uncovered, along with a promise of the Illithid's allegiance!

The fungi of course send a few Popi in first to test, with vines attached to their waists to pull them back. If they don't return then a retinue of Poia go in to punish the lazy Popi.

Fortunately, the Amduscaens are able to sacrifice enough resources to defeat the centaurs. Their fields are burned, mares blown on their sides, and legs trapped underneath sanded rock. They gain a large bounty of 250 gold, and a map of an ancient temple to the far north!

The trolls turn rafts into thick trunky shields.
The smelly elixirs are tinkered in a form where they are less smelly, but more smoky! When thrown on solid wood or earth, a huge rush of steam forms, toxic to inhale!
The trolls build a logging camp, giving access to more wood and the ability to construct more wooden units, such as ships.

The Aelins learn, with the help of their allies and a sacrifice of their stockpile, how to read minds. They only have the ability to so far read minds by touching the subject, not yet mastering long range communications. A sacrifice is necessary for each spell casted.
They formally set up a worship to their pantheon of gods. Sacrificial research and general casting becomes cheaper when envoking the name of their gods!
The Illithids formally join the ranks of the Aelins in thanks to their cooperation.

The cyclops never knew what hit them. The superior roman tactics managed to not only minimize casualties to acceptable levels, but also managed to fetch in five cyclops to make the trouble worth it! The rest are brought to the mage at the tower, who teaches you Ice (I), the ability t frost objects by touch and create one inch icy crystals from your fingertips.

Albans strike coal in the mines!
They create an institution for blacksmiths so that weapons and armor can be better formed from dug ores, as they already know how furnaces and smelters work.

Serrumians research a saddle in order to properly ride these new land birds.
A new source of gold exists from placer mining.
The mines are upgraded! Serrumians strike silver!
The elves accept the gifts and trade gold for your products, as well as information of their mountainous door. Inside is an ancient corrupted egg from an evil dragon centuries ago. The elves have been forever silenced by the forces of darkness, and as such are unable to purify the egg. If they try to destroy the egg, they know the corruption will spread like a disease, turning every creature into brainless, rotting, savaging corpses. Perhaps if you were able to help them with the egg, they will consider joining you in an alliance. They tell you they know not of any other foes living in the mountains, having only been settling in their own quarters for generations.

>A large, floating, spherical boulder with a large vibrating sound emitting from below its body, on the surface. Certainly, this serves as a powerful magical nexus, and settling here will grant easier research in magicka
Action: Construction Academy in Epira, Large Temple in Hera
The various city-states undergo infrastructure developments, but few moreso than Epira or Hera. Epira dedicates a portion of its funds to go toward the construction of an academy, to teach mental magics while benefiting from the Nexus the city was built on. Hera, for its part, dedicated a large portion of the funds from its adventure against the Illithid to the construction of a magnificent temple to the God Hera - patron of the City.
Development: Research Telekinesis
Telepathy was merely the first step toward the Aelin's awakening. With access to the Nexus, their abilities continue to improve and enhance themselves and they develop new powers to use.
Development: Aelin trade ships begin trading pottery and fish with Alban markets and make swift moves to corner their respective markets.

Regular: It was an excellent victory, but we should not grow complacent because of it. We should train another round of peacekeepers to assist in defending the homeland from further threats.
Development 1: We should send a research team to investigate the northern ruins. Perhaps if it is safe we can establish a permanent camp to properly excavate them.
Development 2: The few captured centaurs we've found have been tried and proven guilty of kidnapping, war crimes and other acts of aggression and shall be executed along with the usual criminals and terminally ill to further our magic research. This time we will further our knowledge of magic, this time focusing on water magic to round out our understanding of the elements. The applications of water magic are many as well. Faster sea travel, better irrigation for our crops, the ability to weaponize the forces of water by flooding and freezing, and more.

Development 1: The Blacksmiths guild comes up with the idea of a form of armor which is iron chainmail. It is told of in forgotten tales but the practice of making it has fallen from immediate memory.
Development 2: Through some experimenting with sand and high temperatures, glass is discovered.
Action 1: Train a unit of Swordmen
Action 2: Train a unit of Archers
