Round 6

@Cha @willow @aah31415 @AnthropocenianAge

The world

93% Complete…

The Drought

The clattering ceased. The dull groaning of machinery stopped. Ships stopped landing. The Steel Wall had been constructed. The site abandoned by all but the autonomous security drones, patrolling constantly.

It remained this way for many days and many nights, until something changed.

The wall shuddered, sealing of the land behind, but most importantly, the water. Within days the powerful river had halved in size, becoming a small stream. Within months the plants started to wilt from the drought. Within years, even the lake dried up. The Drought was upon this world, and there was no stopping it…

Lake A Becomes Dried-up Lakebed A

False Salamander: No extra food from eggs/endosymbiosis in temperate patches.

All creatures: -2 Sustainable population (increases each round)

The Fungus
The Fungus has only partially been weakened by the new immune systems, still being killing as many creatures as last round.

Fungus Health: 4/9 (-1 per round, -1 per immune system mutation)

The Fungus lowers your sustainable population depending on it’s health (9-7 is 3, 6-4 is 2, 3-1 is 1, 0 is 0)

Immune systems reduce The Fungus’s health, and reduces it’s damage to you by 1.

All creatures: -2 sustainable population.

Creatures
cha - Greater Ompard

@Cha

A large grazer, with complex mating rituals using ultraviolet plumage.

The Greater Ompard’s large population was mostly unaffected by the drought, as it gained air sacs for swimming (+1 Movement, +1 Swimming), allowing it to spread to Lake C. It also gained a larger fermentation stomach (+1 Foraging), allowing it to process more food.

Willow - Pecuarius falsalamandra - False Salamander

@willow

An amphibious reptile that looks like a salamander. Lays slimy eggs that can digest food.

Despite the Drought, the False Salamander still has a large population, as it managed to spread to River C and plains C. It’s lung cells produce now lots of myoglobin (+1 Movement, +1 Swimming), allowing it to swim for longer. It also gained fins running down the sides of the torso, increasing surface area exposed to light (+0.25 food per humid, temperate or aquatic patch).

AnthropocenianAge - Precuarius taurum - Bull Ompard

@AnthropocenianAge

A stealthy, horned forager.
