Fantasy civ quest ep.1 - A new world awaits

>>344167
I like being a sciency race, so let's be humans.

Hope we get halflings for subrace, cause that sheriff looks boss.

Mind linking the civ quest? I'd like to see one that actually finished.

>>344167
Humans

>>344167
Feeling Ogroids feeling like running a war band.

>>344167
I'll choose humans.
also bulgar can we have giants within some factions?
it'll be fun to see how humans and giants could work together.
Maybe they can be a sub-race of humans.

>>344167
I vote for humans

>>344172
Here's a 4plebs
http://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/boards/pol.tg/subject/Tundra%20civ/
I started this civ quest(the only one I've ever done) on the 4th of January, so it's been half a year, 77 threads, lots of hours in paint, wikipedia, google images, thousands of dice rolls, hundreds of images, endless and priceless memories.

It was a standart civ, started out on /pol/ then moved to /tg/ for almost all the threads. Decisions by vote and dice rolls, maps by paint(started learning how to use photoshop just recently) and lots of flavour images(got a folder with 800 of them that I've used).
I never got around to asking my drawfag friend to make some OC for those threads, so maybe I'll get him for this one.

>>344184
Ah, that's what I thought you were talking about.

>>344176
seconding this

>>344167
humans

Humans it is.
Humans are a younger race in terms of civilization. The hearts of man yearn for adventure, conquest and wealth.
Now we decide a starting location - humans adapt to their environment over generations and so those native to one biome would have a natural starting affinity for it.
Select a starting biome, which will determine the breed of humans you START with. As time goes by, anything may change.

A.The cold northern tundra
B.The foothills of the sunrise coast
C.The forests of the sunset coast
D.The varied terrains of the mainland's interior
E.The harsh desert with its oases
F.The humid southern jungles

>>344201
>C.The forests of the sunset coast
i'd choose the tundra but we already did once.

>>344201
>F.The humid southern jungles
Cool research items to find here. Over growth will make it easy for us to defend with hit and run tactics.

>>344201
F.Humid Jungles.
It gives us a natural barrier against invasion and a natural immunity to common/uncommon tropical disease

>>344208
jungle are inhospitable for eveyone not only invader, it's too humid we'll get too many diseases and we'll struggle to get crops to cultivate

>>344201
>C.The forests of the sunset coast
or
>D.The varied terrains of the mainland's interior

>>344201
>E.The harsh desert with its oases
dangerous environment with constant struggle for survival

>>344201

>>344201

>>344212
>humans adapt to their environment over generations and so those native to one biome would have a natural starting affinity for it.
We will have an edge with this. We could also trade with our available herbs giving us great wealth. That should cover food if we are in need.

>>344201
>B.The foothills of the sunrise coast

Discuss it for a bit, throw some ideas around, I'll be back in a bit, gonna get something to eat.

>>344222
welp thank for thinking about me, i guess timber and herbs will be most of what i can trade i guess.
Anyhow the terrain while being an advantage against warriors due to our possibility to build traps will eventually be negative for our growth, i hope we'll find some animal to use wheels with in there otherwise our economy will be slow and unorganized.

>>344232
We could try building out post where the jungle ends. Plus there's magic in this game. We could fly around on rocks to move goods around. That or making a tunnel system using earth or nature magic to speed up the work.

There's no horses in jungles, I like cavalry.

>>344251
We can beast tame. Running jungle cats is the same, right?

I like cavalry too. As well as siege engines. So, unless we plan on cutting down the entire jungle, my vote is "not jungle".

>>344201
F.The humid southern jungles

>>344247
>We could fly around on rocks to move goods around
That would require all traders to be mages and humans aren't that good at magic.
We'll be mostly getting nature magic i think and it most likely will help us grow more trees.
>>344254
I doubt jungle cats will be very adaptable and cheap enough to tame and maintain to have an use early on.
I don't think they won't eat weak traders who only want a animal to haul their goods.
>>344255
Cutting down the whole forest is not possible but we could create roads at least and import some horses.
But i do agree that jungles aren't an easy choice but hey, only kids play on easy mode.

>>344201
Oldfag Checking in, Civ, I'm gonna go for an hour in like 10 minutes, if I come back, and assuming others are interested, I think I can do another Civ thread, however for now I'll play with this.

>D. The Varied terrains of the Mainland's Interior.

WE MONGOLS NOW

>>344201
C

>>344262
feens got btfo last civ early on, I don't think we can make them work knowing that each time our cavalry will run into a wall or a defended city we'll be essentially forced to retreat.

>>344201
>C.The forests of the sunset coast
I'm here and ready to go

I'm back.
Seems it's a tossup between C and F
the fairest way to decide is with a dice roll
Somebody give me a 1d2
1 for C, 2 for F

>>344259
Maybe we can shape the trees we grow into a road system then.

>>344259
Then we will only have strong traders that no one will mess with! Yet I can still see your point. Hm, maybe we will get lucky and can breed giant beetles. (Not sure on the QM's style to think of much more.)

Rolled 1 (1d2)

i would have like inky to roll this

Rolled 1 (1d2)

>>344276

>>344280
Nice job Obelix

>>344282
i just tossed the dice.

>>344284
I know but you landed it on C that was the one I was hoping for.
But I must also thanked the dice gods

All right, C it is.
Now for another choice - our starting era
Earlier eras will mean more unexplored lands, which also means more lands for colonization. Later eras will mean we'll start with some country set up already, etc.

A.Ancient era - early copper-age farmers with basic animal husbandry. No starting factions, our civilization is still developing - players will either make joint decisions(classic civ style) or be leaders of clans(extended bloodlines) within the tribe
B.Classical era - we now know of the gods and magic, bronze is common, writing is rare, cities have begun to spring up
C.Early medieval - iron is common, small nations dot the world, a time of struggles and wars
D.High medieval - a well-developed feudal society, steel and blood in plenty

>>344299
>A.Ancient era - early copper-age farmers with basic animal husbandry. No starting factions, our civilization is still developing - players will either make joint decisions(classic civ style) or be leaders of clans(extended bloodlines) within the tribe

>>344299
>A. Ancient era

All right, gameplay choice now.
Eventually we will move on to faction-based gameplay, but how do you want to start?
A.Classic civ style - every turn we vote on how to direct the civilization together
B.Start faction-mode - all players must assume the role of the leader of a clan. Every clan makes its own moves, like a game of risk, but you all exist within the same tribe. A clan can rise to lead the tribe or you can have democracy - many paths await you. Eventually clans will evolve into other kinds of factions. You can abandon your faction if you want and start anew whenever you want, though that will mean starting from the bottom.
C.Mixed mode - whoever wants to lead a clan can do it(put a trip on), those who don't control the rest of our tribe


>>344314
Hey Councilor, that you?

>>344299
>A.Ancient era

>>344327
Faction mode

>>344327
>C.Mixed mode - whoever wants to lead a clan can do it(put a trip on), those who don't control the rest of our tribe
I'm not sure everyone want to have to get a trip to lead a faction or be part of one so i'll go with mixed so that new players can get right in.

>>344327
When will this usually run?

>>344334
here have his twitter he'll always announce it.

>>344327
I like mixed for later. Yet for now A.

>>344334
I make announcements on the twitter

These days I'm pretty free, so most evenings for several hours. Starting usually around 1pm EST/5pm GMT and continuing until at least 5 hours usually.

I've seen what the other two lead to and it is a hard to cultivate, maintain and generally inadvisable thing assuming you want a functional game and not "Polish noble republic; the simulator".

>>344381
>"Polish noble republic; the simulator"
that kindda was the idea.
We know we can do well if we all follow common interest but it would much more interesting if we all followed our own goals while trying to protect our civilisation.

>>344327
>A.Classic civ style - every turn we vote on how to direct the civilization together

>>344381
Seeing some posts I'm not sure if everyone noticed, that we will move onto faction later no matter the choice now.

>>344392
that kindda was the point of making a new civ game, to experiment a new system.
But this choice is still important and we don't know when factions will arise.

>>344392
But when we move onto factions is the question.
I would like to do stuff during the ancient era since it allow me to see the impacts of it.

We'll go with classic civ for now.
Your people have lived in this region for generations. You were once separate clans of hunter-gatherers, who lived off nature's gifts. The first chieftain, Rog, was a man blessed by the spirits - all the shamans could see that. He fought man and beast and united the clans. In communion with the elements, he showed our people how to grow crops and craft tools of copper ore. One day, however, he was gone. For months storms raged, the earth shook and the skies grew dark. Eventually the weather cleared, but the tribe found that the shamans had lost their powers. We moved away from the contested lands where human tribes fought each other and the beastly ogres and cruel goblins. We travelled towards the sunet, reaching the place where the large river met the great sea. Here we've brought our sheep herds, built our new village and sown our crops.
A year has passed and now winter is giving way to spring. A new dawn for our people, the tribe of Rog.

>>344436
Clans was an idea for early factions, but it seems it'll wait until we develop further, maybe reach the Classical era.
My idea for factions is to have each player control a political entity of some sorts - a noble house, a banking cartel, a merchant union, a mercenary band, a magic school.
I'm wondering if I should just have the factions as mini-civs or give them the ability to have heroes, but that may be too many stats to keep.
So, researching fishing - we've known how to spear fish from the river, but it's always been a minor source of food. We've now built our first fishing boats, rickety little waterborne bundles of wood. Combined with stone and copper fishing spears and some nets, it will allow us to go into the river or the sea even to hunt for fish.
Still, most tribesmen are wary of this new method and prefer to stick to hunting, while the women and children pick fruits and work the fields.
Incidentally, I am watching an episode of Hajime no Ippo that has a lot of fishing in it right now.

A year has passed, more children have been born to the tribe. Sticking fairly close to the village, our hunters are safe from wild beasts and the winter was gentle.

could be kindda hard to keep up with both but i'm too greedy to say no to a thread.

Our tribe is made up of a dozen clans, each made up of a couple of bloodlines. It's been five years since the great Rog. The shamans have lost their power and the clans are restless.
How shall our tribe be ruled?
A.Elect a chieftain every 5 years from among the clanheads
B.Hold a great contest to determine which bloodline is favored by the spirits - the winning bloodline will rule the tribe. Every year at the beginning of spring such a contest can be held if someone wants to challenge the chieftain
C.A council of clanheads will rule the tribe together
D.Other idea
>>344506
Yo, saw your civ. I think I took the original format from you anyway, so whatever. I made the racepick picture myself, but haven't watermarked it or tagged myself either(then again, I did get "inspired" by other such pictures).

Only problem I can see long term is it doesn't favour certain skills which can't be done in a contest. Like administration but admittedly by the time that is a concern we will have other worries.

The First Great Contest has been held. Participants had to compete to show their skills at hunting, their knowledge of crafts, wisdom of traditions and character of leadership.
Our new chieftain is Borig.

>>344585
Okay, I hope the anons know how to search for stuff.

>>344571
Deer, squirrels, birds, boars, rabbits - the usual stuff. We've got a couple of sheep herds.

D - Military
Our men are tough guys, life ain't easy in the fight against nature - hunters know how to use bows and daggers, fishers get plenty of practice with spears and every clan needs to send some men to chop wood now and then with our stone axes. Copper is used for some spear and arrowheads, but mostly for tools, as it can bend fairly easily.

What should we do about our military?
A.Teach everyone to use bows - more reserve hunters available and we'll have archers to defend the village
B.Have everyone train with spears - an easy to make and reliable weapon, the spear can be used for fishing, hunting and killing
C.More axes - we could certainly stand to use more wood. Chopping trees makes your arms and back strong and those axes can also kill
D.A bit of everything, have the men take turns to train with their weapons together
E.Have some men train to be fighters exclusively, knowing how to use various weapons and fight together

Pick only one. First three will boost the profession as well as providing warriors, D and E are a focus on fighting

>>344611
>E.Have some men train to be fighters exclusively, knowing how to use various weapons and fight together
Organized military is the best military

>>344611
>A.
Let them never get near us.

>>344611
D
We need Flexibility.

>>344611
>D.A bit of everything, have the men take turns to train with their weapons together
I would like a elite military that allow everyone how to use any weapon that is on hand and flexibility

>>344611
E, have some guards and raiding parties.

>>344611
>A.Teach everyone to use bows - more reserve hunters available and we'll have archers to defend the village
Bows are invicible before there was armor, the only weakness is if the enemy have shields which make them slow.

>>344611
B
Metal arrows cant melt plate armour

>>344611
>C.More axes - we could certainly stand to use more wood. Chopping trees makes your arms and back strong and those axes can also kill

>>344611
E.Have some men train to be fighters exclusively, knowing how to use various weapons and fight together

Having expendable warriors is important, we can't lose every hunter but we can lose every warrior.

>>344611
D

>>344611
D.A bit of everything, have the men take turns to train with their weapons together

here have my break down of the choices
>A.I want to hide behind my wall and kill the entire enemy army.
>B.I want to use a powerful and realiable weapon to defend but never ever get into a fight because i'd get fucked by bows without armor and shields
>C.I want to be a warmer viking
>D.i want to adapt my strategy to my enemy but will get fucked early on because jacks of all trades aren't that poweful.
>E.I want to never win in a fight against any race, since humans will never get into melee against elves unless they're full of arrows and will never over power most of the other races.

>>344611
A.Teach everyone to use bows - more reserve hunters available and we'll have archers to defend the village

>>344655
Obelix we could use another turn of military and go with A that turn. For now we give a basics of each weapon than teach them the bow.

D it is
Throwing this in as a boon.
The 7-day week is based on the tribe's schedule, in a way - Axeday, Fishday Bowday, Lumberday, Spearday, Huntsday and Godsday. Weapons training and gathering competitions depend on the day - on axeday the lumberjacks all train with their axes, while on Lumberday they hold a competition to chop the most wood and so on.

We know there are orcs and goblins.
Orcs are weak against bow and unlikely to attack a city protected by a pallisade so we're likely out of risk from them.

A
We've gone along the coasts on foot - our boats aren't suited to exploration.
The eastern forest continues for a long distance, while the western forest eventually gives way to open grasslands. The distance from the westernmost to easternmost points we've explored is 4-5 days on foot. We haven't encountered any other tribes yet, but we've heard howls from the deepwoods. We've encountered some herbivore species as well while exploring, particulary interesting are the bovines in the northwest.
This winter was tough, game was more scarce and some of our herds had to be culled.

It's my hope that our civilization developes to be like the Empire in Warhammer, gunpowder and magic working together. We can also bild a political system of having a single chief/king/emperor who rules for his lifetime and every new one is elected by nobles (these can be the factions).

Every four weeks a festival is held on Godsday - the tribe shares stories and makes merriment. Public morale is increased(and birthrates go up by a bit as well).

Heading down the river, about 3 days on foot later we reached a ruined human village - these are the contested lands in which we once resided. It seems whatever tribe settled in our place was destroyed. We found two interesting things, however - tools made of some metal, similar to copper, yet stronger were found in what must have been the craftsman's hut. Another interesting thing were the animals we found - fast, large herbivores - wild horses.
The two forests give way to open fields along the river valley, while to the southwest we've spotted some hills. The party returned home to report the findings.

Our civilisation could have been saved had we stuck to the defensive or just warned them of the devices existence. They'd have pulled out as quickly as possible to avoid us triggering it.


Bulgar stated our colonies were self-sufficient for what they needed to live. Add in the fact they in some cases are on planets with life-supporting atmospheres and the fact that no alien race would mess with us out of fear we might have another such device (at least for a time) and you realise that our colonies could've, and would've, recovered. Which is why I am considering running a continuation based around uniting the colonies and dealing with the loss of the home-world, most of our race, many religious sites and a large portion of our productive capacity.

Our colonies had a population of 3% of our combined population. This means there was at least 29.4 million of them on the colonies. This is also forgetting that one of them had a space fort and such which means they have at least some presence in space to build off of.

The only reason I haven't ran it is because I feel I am a shit writer and couldn't do Bulgar's setting justice.

If you're "sacrificing it" but still get to eat it and get the full value out of the item... All you're telling your god is "Hey, we don't mind doing what we're gonna do anyway and saying it's for you."

>>345219
Let me give you an example of one the ideas I had for what would occur;


The Ra'ktun imperium stops existing as the many races (and criminals, political disidents, etc) under it take advantage of a lack of any fleets resulting in it shattering.


The colonies lacking an actual fleet, or the ability to build one, are faced with a choice;

1) Repair the wrecks of the old warships (which are now highly unstable thanks to their age and a lack of experienced maintenance personnel), turning them into;

A) Orbital defences, cheaper and easier to maintain but unable to move between systems.

B) Repaired ships, able to move but harder and more expensive to maintain.

2) Adding weapons to their civilian vessels, turning them into Militia ships. Far weaker than actual military ships but entirely free for the nation to have exist, problem is that it discourages private business to own ships thanks to higher costs and risks.

3) Purchasing ships off of the other nations, this provides actual military ships but will be bankrupting the nation expensive.


I have one or two other ideas, like having to deal with the sudden lack of the Kaichou emperor resulting in them either revolting, committing suicide or just becoming depressed.

Or having to deal with the sudden lack of most government above the planetary level, another example being trying to keep all the colonies from trying to separate into different nations.

>>345314
You make a fair point

>>345313
Almost want to see how much we would have royally fucked up from my roll...

Try to sacrifice a sheep and accidently slice the chieftains throat.

>>345316
I would have the Ra'ktun empire be severly weakened with it splitting into many smaller states but to still have it as an active and looming threat to the colonists. Perhaps the new emperor can declare the colonists "enemies for eternity"?

>>345316
1.Some ideas are our allies will help us since we saved them from the Ra'ktun they lost their fleet but they can rebuild and offer us protecting for saving them.

2.We are protected by the alliance and mostly leave us alone or help us time from time.

3.Our allies take part of the Ra'ktun and give us some systems as payment.

>>345325
You're forgetting our allies systems are free and they can rebuild.

>>345325
Would you declare the nation that just wiped out your entire fleet in moments out of nowhere? Hell no!

>>345339
True but I'd point out a few of our allies are just allies of convenience. They'd rather not strengthen a potential threat.

By the way, is the sea we're next to a freshwater or saltwater? Sea implies saltwater, but there are some weird edge cases and nomenclature wiggles.

>>345345
I'm saying the least they can do is protect us from outside threats, Omi are our most friend we have. Having save them when the Ra'ktun attack them. We traded lots of cultural stuff we them, their the logically aliens to protect us, as we sacrifice ourselves, saving them in turn.

We sacrificed fish, deer, sheep, cattle and smaller game to the new shrine. Within a week, storms started brewing out in the sea and one day we had our first magical encounter since settling here.

From the waters a large serpent rose up. A flying one, with horns and blue scales and a pair of wings. A dragon.

It approached our village, getting ashore. On four legs, the dragon is about 40 meters long.

"Hmmm....humans. You've given offerings. To the Gods? Well, you won't get anything, they're gone. Your magicians are probably neutered, just like with the others. That makes it easier for me."
"Now, I could destroy this village and devour as much as I can stomache, but why put it to waste? I'm tired of fish, fish and the occasional mermen., so I'll tell you what - a regular supply of varied meats will make me happy and leave you alive. An extra-large offering and I'll come up for a chat. Not like there's much to do these days anyway."

Good point. The Ra'ktun empire would have collapsed after our planets detention and the death of their emperor and largest fleet. Of course our allies would be victorious and the colonys would survive, bt what would happen to the remnants of the Ra'ktun, from what we know they were a prideful race who controlled a number of lesser races wthin their empire. I think they would fall into a civil war of some kind to decide the next emperor or the new emperor would come to power easily and they would be all smiles and full of apologies now that they are in a far weaker position. Perhaps you could make them the spire lords of that campaign? Constantly in the background trying to claw their way back to power?

We've agreed. The dragon has taken the offering and returned to the water. We build an offering altar near the sea so that he doesn't go into the village every time he needs a snack. Every Godsday the Water Dragon, Syuuku, comes by to get his offering, usually game from the forests.

So, I thought to myself, man, I keep harping on about the ocean so much, I'm surprised no one's told me to marry it since I love it so much.

Hmm.. That's not a bad idea...

So I was wondering if I could start a faction as the chick on the left, being a powerful sea serpent/nymph that could offer the town a very simple "give me stuff, and I'll hang around your fishermen and save them whenever they fall overboard, help keep children safe along the river, scare fish into nets, that sort of thing.

And, as a faction, I'd have the following resources:

Prestige 0/100
A measurement of how many shiny things I've been given, especially things that can be taken underwater without corroding and otherwise shown off to other sea inhabitants. High prestige means I could attract other intelligent sea creatures to work under me, and therefore under our city.

Prayer 0/100
A measurement of how much praise and devotion has been heaped on me, giving me magical resources. Spending prayer would allow me to either gain passive powers or perform miracles. If everyone dropped a thousand prayers on me right now, being a sea-serpent with no magical powers yet, that would only let me grow powers, not do cool stuff.

Passive powers would be things like:
Hear prayers- Can actually hear the content of the prayers, things like "Oh shit, I'm drowning", meaning I could help from further away.
Send visions- "Hey, nymph recruit 3, save that guy drowning a minute upriver."
Increased Prayer Cap-
Weather Magic- Has parlor level weather magic (rainbows!), and can spend prayer on miracles related to weather. Maybe avert/weaken a horrible storm.
Water Magic- As above. Only water, maybe avert/weaken a tsunami.

Physical 20/100
A measurement of how physically mighty I am. Currently enough to completely wreck fishing boats and have a great chance of attacking like, a longboat, at 100 I'd be a glorious leviathan of navy wrecking.

This would just slowly advance with age, so when you timeskip 100 years to discover gunpowder, I'd be stronger from age. But also require more and more food.

And then I got totally sniped by that dragon. Maybe I could help you fight it

before making a lost of what you want your faction to have within our nation how about you help us to get them?

Help us to get them how? Everyone seems to be voting for "gear up to kill dragon" perfectly fine without me. Unless in order to breed a sea serpent we need to vote to have a lot of sex with fish, my character/faction there would be "OP says yes, sure you exist and can offer the town a deal" or "OP says no, fish lady does not exist. Go away."
