>>1756356
Ye Ye Yea YETI! .... wait noooo

Not gonna lie, Yetis are not fun sounding considering they can hardly breed.

>>1756359
Roll doesn't count as a vote so it's invalid. Yeti democracy is the only way

>>1756361
Who needs sex when you're a giant fucking Yeti?

>>1756362
>Rolls don't count
Except the person said they're voting based on the roll you tart.
If they had done the roll off-screen nothing would have changed except you wouldn't have a valid reason to complain.

>>1756363
Us. Without population growth we're going to die no matter what. You can't found a civilization on a stagnant population, or just pray that OP just hands out free yeti tribes to assimilate like candy.

>>1756362
>Dice aren't allowed to vote
Women have vote why can't dice or attack helicopters?

>>1756365
Is it really impossible to survive with bad breeding? I haven't done a civ quest before so I don't know, apologies

>>1756367
It depends on how OP runs it, but logistically speaking if out pop doesn't grow then we'll eventually all die out unless we go super peaceful and don't try to get any yetis killed.

Which:
>We're damn Yetis
Of course we'll be raiding and killing everything.

>>1756368
Inbreeding

>>1756371
The breeding rate isn't an inbreeding problem, it's a fertility one. It's just vastly hard for Yetis to have kids.

>>1756376
Oh I figured it was an isolation issue of Yetis wanting large areas to themselves.

>>1756368
If we're strong enough Yetis won't die

>>1756368
Yetis live long and they are hard to kill, just saying.

>>1756379
Death is always a possibility. Having a locked down population number is pretty much like saying our population is how many accidents and failed rolls we're allowed to have.

>>1756382
I'm fairly certain the only alternative for the super low yeti population is collecting a heavy slave population of other races. I'm not sure if we'll be smart enough to do that, we'll just have to see how The GM works everything out. For all we know we could still be going Centaurs.

Centaur wins

Now, to decide where you live

>A Great Plains, where the land is miles and miles of soft flatlands. You will be smaller centaurs, allowing you to move faster and weigh less. The land also lies within the path of massive herds of large herbivores that travel through the area the same time every year.

>A robust highlands, where the land is hilly and mountainous, and the cold is harsh. Living hear, you will be far larger than average, and hold much greater strength at the cost of speed and stamina. You will also be more resistant to cold climates. While there is nothing much to say on food, the access to mountains, cliffs, and caves will provide easier access to ores.

First to three wins

>A harsh Desert, where the sun blazes hot across a seemingly endless sea of of sand. The environment is harsh, the creatures deadly, and food hard to come by. However, what few oasis' that exist provide special areas that have an abundance of water and food. These places replenish slowly though, so beware of taxing them to hard with your presense. Your people will have greater endurance, and will be more Resistant to hotter climates.

>A mighty forest, where the trees grow to the sky and the rains come often. Your people will be smaller than even those that live in the plains, taking on the features of deer instead of horses. You will consume less, but will be weaker and less durable then your larger cousins. However your closeness to the ancient forest will bring to you arcane knowledge, granting you the first tech in the Druidic magic tree.

Your clans wasn't always here. These lands once held many clans, many strong groups of the bravest warriors your people knew of. Heroes of the previous age were like gods now, spoken of reverently around your bonfire. Great archers were said to have shattered walls with their mighty arrows. Warriors were given the ability to call upon the quaking earth to rout armies. One, a elder of some strange clan, was said to have bent the sky to his whim and cast light from his very eyes.

These stories, no matter how exagerated they might be, brought pain as well as happiness when they were told. The invaders, cruel monster who lacked equine lower bodies, had come. the clans fought against them, unifying to stand a chance.

However, for every hero that rose from the clans, a thousand invaders stood to overwhelm them. For every arrow that could shatter a wall, the invader brought a hundred drums that spit fire and thunder to shatter mountains.

The clans were broken, scattered to the wind and their ancestral homes burnt away. Then, as the clans facewd their end, standing tall to die fighting so that they join their heroes is the afterlife, the invaders disappeared.

They left no trace they were ever there, save for the destruction they left and a tall stone wall of white smooth stone that blocked those that remained from their ancestral homes.

Now you all sit, gathered around the bonfire. Once enemies and rivals now clinging to each other in the dark, their clans lost and homes stolen.

They look for guidance, for a clan needs leadership.

Who shall lead?

>The elders, those who freshly remember the past and cling to their past clan histories and rivalries, but possess the greatest knowledge?

>An elected council of five, representing the clans of the past, chosen by majority vote?

>A single clan leader, determined by trials of body, mind and spirit, whose descendants shall rule as well?

>Clan decisions are made by all, everyone having a say and everyone having a vote, with a few chosen to mediate and oversee at the cost of their vote?

>>1756527
>An elected council of five, representing the clans of the past, chosen by majority vote?
>A single clan leader, determined by trials of body, mind and spirit, whose descendants shall rule as well?
Can we have both of these? Popular vote only will result in shit politics, but a rule that passes on to descendants regardless of qualifications is even worse. Ideally, we'd have a council of clevermen lead by one who has actually proven himself worthy through some sort of dangerous trial, both restricted by each other.

>>1756527
>An elected council of five, representing the clans of the past, chosen by majority vote.
This should ensure little to no possible clan bias which could cause disruption and discontent.

>>1756527

>A single clan leader, determined by trials of body, mind and spirit, whose descendants shall rule as well?

The rule of one is strong.
Trying to mix it with councils or bureaucracy increases the chance for corruption further on down the road when we got real government and not just bumbling tribes.

>>1756466
Should allow us to have the Smut and lewn things OP.

Through ancient trial and fateful right, the leader of the clan is chosen. He is not the wisest, not the strongest, and not the bravest, but he was deemed good enough in all three to deserve to rule. And while he did not specialize in any of the areas the trials tested, he was clever, and held in his hand a sword stolen from an invader hero's dead hands.

[Gained leadership form: Monarchy]

>Monarchies are very stable forms of rule, where a single person and their descendants make descisions that affect their subjects. Leaders tend to be higher quality, allowing them to more skilled in diplomacy, single combat, or commanding armies. However, the risk of revolution will grow if the current ruler displeases the populous to much. Also, they are the target of plots made by their subjects to try and steal the throne.

[Gain new hero: Clan-King Berethon]

>Clan-King berethon has the following traits.

>Average stats

>High intelligence

>Clever: Gains bonus in strategy and diplomacy

>Legendary weapon: "Mountain carver: A large war blade that can cut through armor. It nullifies any bonus's from armor an opponent would recieve when facing the wielder.

With the leader chosen, the clan consolidates what little of their culture remains. Two artifacts were kept safe from the destruction.

>Choose two

>Stone of stories: A sizable stone that has three sides, each side holding the tale of a mythical hero to your culture. Obtain the writing Tech, which gives a a stack small bonus to food gathering, diplomacy, military, and research for every member of the civilization that is literate. Start with five literate members, and to learn, a pop needs to dedicate three years total of their life to become literate.

>Ancient anvil: a runic anvil that was used to craft the armor and weapons of the clans. Gain the tier 0 and tier 1 smithing tech, allowing you to create Leather, padded gamasen, and studded armor. Can also create bone, stone, and Copper weapons

>Calender stone: A small sun dial like item that can be used to accurately predict the seasons and track the days of the year. Gain tier 1 farming, giving a bonus to food production.

> vial of Breath: a glowing blue vial filled with a magical elixir said to be able to bring a single person back from the dead. Gain a mythical item [Vial of breath] and gain the tier 0 alchemy tech.

>Tome of the ancient: a book written by the first clan, and filled with spells. Requires a literate person to read in order to learn it. Person must spend two years total studying it to be able to use the spells. Gain tier 0, tier 1, and tier 2 Runic magic tech.

>Totem of the harvest God: a carved totem depicting the god of harvests. Gain the favor of this god, and recieve an increase to your farming tech level.

Hard choices, but I'll vote for early boost to everything through writing, and bonus for arms and armours.

About others
Calender and totem almost same thing, the farming tech. Probally usefull early on, but with literated researches we should research some farming in no time.

Tome would be really neat, but we would need to get writing tech for it to be any use...I'd rather have armor and weapons for whole tribe instead.

>>1759107

> Calender stone

> Totem of the harvest God

Food surplus. Abundant food makes for happy subjects. Happy subjects are willing to do more for their liege...

3 for anvil

1 for totem
1 for vial

Anvil is the first winner, one more eneeded

You fools don't understand the importance of the vial. Imagine a king who actually participates in battles, leads his people by example. Loved by all, a fearsome leader whose name inspires courage in his own kind and terror in his enemies. With vial, this is possible since a you can get another chance if you fall in battle. Without vial, you really can't do this without risking everything since the king falling would drive the whole nation into chaos. You can get food by warmongering, but you can't warmonger if you don't win over the people

>>1759227

Changing my vote to:

> Anvil

> Stone

I guess we're literate blacksmiths now.

>>1759241
right you are

Berethon looks over what remains of the once proud culture your clans shared. The epics of the three heroes remained intact, and with it brought the very basis of your people's written word. Alongside the anvil, and the secrets it held, your people were not completely lost.

Over the month, those who could already read and write took it upon themselves to ensure that the knowledge would not be lost. They gathered the few children the clan had, and began their lessens. Over the month, the children were introduced to the basic alphabet. Thanks to so many instructors being available, the children quickly were able to get the hand of the sounds and memorize the characters.

>Two months worth of literacy training achieved. 34 more until the children are completely literate.

As for the rest of the adults, their massive effort brought about the construction of three crop plots, and proper storage for each. Fruits, wheat, and vegetables were planet. In six months the food would be fully grown, would need to be harvested or else it would go to waste with the winter cold.

>Possible food gain, 8 months worth

The month goes by peacefully.

Your people take this time to evaluate the area.

You clan currently has taken refuge in a valley between a rocky hill and a grassy slope. To the north, there is a misty forest that no one in the clan has ever explored. To the south is the old lands, and the invader's marble wall. To the east is more highlands, though the wind coming from the east smells of salt. To the west are the great mountains, their peaks dispersing above the clouds.

Hunting failed by 1 degree of failure

Your hunters come back empty handed and ashamed. While they had found prey, the creatures had slipped from their grasp. The area seemed to have few animals to hunt from what they report.

In a desperate bid to keep the food stores full enough to last until the harvest season, the entire clan that can heads off into the wilderness in order to gather food.

Thanks to the help of the Professional gatherers, the clan gathers 2 months worth of food.

While they were off collecting food, a small group of people lead by the clan smith went to forging weaponry. Using some wood and the supply of herbs, they managed to fashion two bows, and ten stone spears.

The children spend this time freely, as their teachers had left to gather food for the clan. During this time, one of the children fell into a crevice and became stuck.
