Another vote for machines

>>370639
Switching to cyclops tundra no one ever plays them

>>370652

Guys lets make cyclops great again

Switching to Machines, Mana Waste is a fun land.

Here too, ready when you are OP

>machines

You still remember your old master, a powerful wizard of the forgotten Empire. 25 years ago, the world suddenly changed, as doom came upon it. The ancient Empire stood strong for 1000 years, but its own hypocrisy and power hunger brought it down. As the 10 most powerful mages tried to cast a spell to destroy all their foes at once, something went horrible wrong. For some reason, you cannot remember a span of about 2 years around the apocalypse, despite the fact machines have a perfect memory. It seems like all information is blocked by some unknown means.

Before the catastrophe, you and your master were investigating some islands in the south. Now, 30 years later, you are still waiting for your master to return, as he is gone but you remain, untouched by time. The thing most worrying to you is that you are unable to remember your last command, as suddenly your failsafe sets in. As you did not get any commands for a set period of time, you are automatically granted your own free will.

A whole new world upons up to you. What will you do with your new freedom ?

assets :

1 exploration ship
1 run-down laboratory
2 bows, 100 arrows
2 sword and shields
10 normal(unnamed machines race members)
1 leader character(unnamed)

What will you do ?

>explore
>construct
>research
>write in

>>372496
We can also develop torpedoes and submarines the only way we can lose is through magic

>>372505

>construct

Let's make scouting units, and name the leader AM

>>372505
give names on numeric order (leader is One or Zero)
5 + leader to explore the island armed. looking for materials and such
5 others to check the laboratory and see if there's anything working/useful

>>372505
Leader CAP-T1N
Research battle ships

>>372505
did you play spellforce? pretty much the same plot.

>>372514
our leader takes on the name ZERO, for he is the first of the free machines
>>372510
you lack materials and technology to create new units
>>372519
nope
>>372515
our technology is still on a rather low level, battle ships are somewhat off for now

>>372505
Name: Copperbeard
>Explore those islands

>>372522
>we are humanoid automatons but we're using shit like bows and swords

go exploring in teams of 3 to 4

>>372505
Research how to make more of us.

WE MUST SPREAD.

>>372531
well we are more like magical powered constructs, but of medium quality

>>372528
you split your forces into 3 teams, 2 of four and one of three, lead by ZERO

you send the teams of four to explore the island your currently on, while ZEROs team takes a look at the lab

roll 3d100

>>372533
Research with all those resources we have

Rolled 64, 5, 93 = 162 (3d100)

>>372535

Rolled 67, 66, 75 = 208 (3d100)

>>372535

Rolled 16, 55, 19 = 90 (3d100)

>>372535

>>372522
Explore for materials to build things

>>372535

Rolled 53, 38, 38 = 129 (3d100)

>>372545
Oops

>>372535

Rolled 8, 28, 95 = 131 (3d100)

5+66+55=126/3<50
93+75+19=187/3<50

While the lab deteriorated in the last 30 years, you are able to find a book "how to create constructs", unfortunately for you some parts of it are badly damaged
you also find some units of iron and sail rope

one of your scout units finds a source of iron aswell as a decently sized forest, a source of lots of high quality wood

your third group doesnt find anything special except a small amount of some kind of glowing ore

>>372559
next turn coming up soon

>>372559
>doesnt find anything special except a small amount of some kind of glowing ore
i for one think that glowing ore is kinda cool.

Turn 2
all your people returned to the lab, with the third group bringing a small sample of the glowing ore

assets :
1 exploration ship
1 run-down laboratory
2 bows, 100 arrows
2 sword and shields
10 normal (unnamed machines race members)
1 leader character ZERO
1 book "how to create constructs"
20 units of iron
20 long well made ropes

what do ?
>inspect book (free action)
>gather resources
>inspect ore
>research
>explore
>write in

>>372559
Take ore name a group of constructs scientist have them figure out way it is

>>372570
inspect book and ore

>>372570
make tools to extract ore (4 units at that)
look for more ore (4 units at that)
all remaining to start build construct/gather materials for that

>>372570
>Inspect book
>Inspect ore

Guessing we already have the means to smelt iron etc right?

>>372570
Inspect book
Inspect ore

>>372570
>inspect book
>inpect ore

>>372579
>>372586
>>372588
this

>>372578
you use 4 of your units to make tools
you use 5 iron to create 3 pickaxes and 2 axes to chop wood

Rolled 17 (1d100)

>>372596

>>372600
at least you got dubs, mate.

Rolled 38 (1d100)

>>372596

Alrighty let's do it

>>372600
Well then

>>372598

>73
ZERO reads through the book
you need to create a basic casing out of the material you want to use for you construct, different materials obviously have influence on the quality of your new construct
after that you need to ...
unfortunately, the book is damaged quite a bit in the middle, so you only can read somewhat at the ending

to finish, you need to infuse it with magical energy through a ritual


>>372600
checkd
unfortunately, your people look at the ore but cannot find anything special to it except the glowing


how do you guys like it so far ? first time doing a quest

im also going to cut our assets down a little bit and only point out important things, otherwise it is going to be very unclear

>>372600
oh ffs

>>372609
use bastebin.com for our assets

>>372609
look around the lab a little. maybe some apparatus is still working

>>372609
It's okay so far

>>372609
I'm assuming trial and error until we figure this shit out.

>>372609
>>372615
what do we know about magic?

>>372609
>Start a mining/lumber operation for iron and wood
Got the tools for it, lets start stockpiling.

>>372619
We're talentless but I assume we might be able to learn alchemy

>>372620
stockpiling now wouldn't do anything good, because we don't know what to do with anything

>>372620
Good idea later we can search for more books that our master left behind

>>372609
we should send 3 guys to explore so we know the full lay of the land
while we do this >>372620

>>372620
>>372629
3 axes 3 units lumberjack, 2 unit to bring back wood
2 pickaxes 2 units miners, 1 unit to bring back stuff
1 unit to map the land

>>372612
im going to be using a pastebin later, but i still think we dont need to keep track of every little detail

>>372620
you send of some of your people to mine iron and chop wood, they will return in 2 days

>>372619
we do not know to many things about magic except that we are made of it
maybe there is more information to be found in the laboratory

>>372626
i think i worded it somewhat badly
you are proficient in general with technology, as your guys were mostly work force and ZERO also was a research helper
you can already do things like build a forge, create tools, but you know basically nothing about magic

turn 3 is about to come up

also tips on what to improve are always appreciated

>>372626
True let's research better weapons find magic race and use them as the core

>>372637
well state if we have to choose something to do or if we should discuss/propose what to do next until you tell us to choose.
so we can talk between us and focus on something to do

>>372647
Right now slime or elementales are the easiest way to reproduce but elementales are unstable and slime probably won't give up there core so it's easier to subjugate the slime because there weaker

>>372662
>Slimes or elementals

Are you like 50 turns ahead? As far as we know we're alone on an island - who knows if they are even in OPs setting.

>>372662
Slimes also reproduce faster but we are naturally weak to the so we should develop better weapons to kill them

>>372669
Sorry getting ahead of myself

>>372647
alright i really did that badly

turn 3
5 of your people a currently gathering resources, returning next turn

there are still more things to be found in hte laboratory
you didnt figure out what the ore does, i would advise trying again

>assets
laboratory
ship
10 constructs
ZERO

what do you want to do ?

from now on, you can do 2 actions every round
>research
>inspect ore(roll 1d100+17)
>explore
>gather resources
>construct
>write in

you are also able to make the laboratory your base and upgrade it if you want
i would recommend looking throught the lab again and inspecting the ore
im going to be back later with a pastebin and a map
(im going to be afk for about 2 hours, so you have plenty time to make a decision on what to do)

>>372675
Inspect ore
Search lab

>>372675

>>372681
Seconded.

>>372675
and explroe the lab.
going to be away, will come back maybe tomorrow not from the same pc.
have fun, rule the sea!

Rolled 13 + 17 (1d100 + 17)

>>372675

Rolled 20 + 17 (1d100 + 17)

>>372692
Think you meant to roll this.

>>372695
Yeah sorry. Roll was meant to inspect ore

>>372695
>>372692
Op hasn't called for rolls though

>>372692
>>372695
nice rolls :^)

well there is something special about this ore, but you simply cannot put your finger on it

you do another thorough search of the lab and you are able to find something you previously missed under some scrap
"the basics of magic" with some handwritten notes by your old master


turn 4:

assets:
lab
ship
10 constructs
ZERO
85 iron
100 logs of wood

im going to track resources, but i dont think i am going to keep track of every single tool we create

what do you want to do ?

>inspect the book
>gather resources
>explore
>construct
>write in

>>372802
Inspect books
Research better weapons

>>372834
Wait ores would be better changing to research ores read book

>>372834
roll me a d100

Rolled 95 (1d100)

>>372848

>>372848

Rolled 22 (1d100)

>>372863
Oops

>>372869
Rolling really bad today

>>372834
>>372858
you research new weapons
while you previously only had swords, one of your workers has the idea that a blade on a long stick would be better in most situations
you now have knowledge of pole weapons, but you cant craft them, as you are missing a forge

you read "the basics of magic"

magic comes from the outer plane, a plane of gods and powerful beings like celestials and demons
every living being can learn to use it, but is difficult if you have no affinity for it and will never be as good as magic cast by somebody with talent
there is a special metal called magit that is used to amplify magic effects and store magic energy
it is identified by its characteristic illumination effect (the ore you found is magit ore)

your master left some notes
he apparently was researching new and advanced constructs, especially those that can use magic and work autonomous, generally a forbidden research topic

he had the theory that if you build a construct completely out of magit he should be able to cast magic, but he was unable to try it out as he never had enough magit
another idea of his was to use magit to alloy an iron construct, but he went missing before he could do it

turn 5:

all your constructs are at your lab

assets :
lab
ship
10 constructs
ZERO
85 iron
100 logs

what do you want to do ?

>explore
>research
>construct
>gather research
>write in

>>372889
Have zero learn magic if possible if not build forge

>>372897
he cannot learn it right now, you need to do a bit of preparation for it, but the notes of your former master are correct

i also worded it badly, people that have no affinity for magic can only learn it by using special magit items, while people with an affinity dont need them

so you can choose a second thing to do this round

>>372889
>build forge
>gather research

>>372912
roll a d100 and specify what you want to research


also where did everyone go ?

Rolled 86 (1d100)

>>372917
Crossbow

>>372917
I don't know where everyone is?

Rolled 37 (1d100)

>>372917
Sorry I left for a bit

>>372930
At least my rolls haven't changed

>>372917
Op you still here

>>372945
yeah i was waiting for some more people but next turn is coming soon

>>372921
you continue researching weapons, and ZERO comes up with an easier to use version of the bow, the crossbow

you are also now able to craft crossbows as you built a forge
you can also now craft the polearms you researched last round

turn 6

assets :
lab
ship
10 constructs
ZERO
85 iron
100 logs

what do you want to do ?
>explore
>research
>gather resources (you will need magit, you saying)
>construct
>write in

>>372954
Make item of magit of ZEROs choosing
Have him learn magic

>>372959
well you only have one piece of magit right now, that is not enough

>>372960
How is our ship fairing, maybe we should try and find another nearby island.

>>372973
we havent done aynthing with it, it is in an okay condition

>>372978
I'd vote to go explore the nearby waters then, leaving 2 constructs behind for research/construction.

>>372978
Improve mining equipment afterwards mine magit

>>372990
we improve our mining operations and transport, giving us more ore per turn

>>372982
you send 4 constructs to explore the other islands close to yours
they will be back in 3 turns

turn 7
assets :
lab
forge
ship
10 constructs
ZERO
85 iron
100 logs

what do you want to do ?

if you want magic, you will need lots of magit, you cqan also double vote for mining, giving increased payout

>research
>explore
>construct
>gather resources
>write in

>>373005
More mining
If we want our race to succeed we need to reproduce

>>373048
we send out our troops to mine
roll a d100

Rolled 4 (1d100)

>>373102

>>373141
nice :^)

you mine 30 ore this round

turn 8
your scouts will be back in 2 turns

assets :
lab
ship
10 constructs
ZERO
85 iron
100 logs
30 magit

what do you want to do ?

>research (specify)
>gather resources
>construct
>explore
>write in

>>373149
well it seems like nobody is here anymore
i think im going to kill this thread for good

thanks to all for playing

>>373149
Wait... Research to learn magic

>>373255
well you already know what you need to do to get magic, but you need more magit first

>>373272
More mining then

>>373149
More mining

>>373272
Mine until magic is possible

>>373272
Op you still alive?

>>374770
And thus I assume the worst
