Round 11

@Cha @willow @aah31415 @AnthropocenianAge

The world

98% Complete…

The Drought

Over time, the Drought only got worse. Many Creatures died, unable to find food or water. There was no hope…

Lake A Becomes Dried-up Lakebed A

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

All creatures: -7 Sustainable population (increases each round)

Tier 1

The Two-Headed Ompard is the first creature to reach Tier 1, and gain use of actions. It also can reason and think better allowing for more complex traits (such as traps, sociality, and eusociality), that can provide significant advantages.

Actions

You get 1 action each turn. These actions can provide temporary bonuses for a few rounds (such as hiding from predators, or foraging more), longer term benefits (like migrating to far away patches, or constructing protected nests), or even research and carry out projects (requires Tier 2 Intelligence). Below is a list of default actions, however other actions can be taken. I will decide what the results of those actions are, and add them to the list below:

Default Actions

Migrate: Inhabit a known patch within 3 hexes of an already inhabited one (lasts Indefinitely)
Forage: +0.5 Vegetation per patch (Lasts 1 Turn)
Hunt [Creature]: +2 Units of Meat for each stat you are better at than [Creature] (Lasts 1 Turn)
Hide: Predators of you get 25% Less Units of Meat from you (Lasts 1 Turn)
Reproduce: +2 Sustainable population (Lasts 2 Turns)

I advise trying to reach Tier 1 within the next 2-3 rounds…

Also, sorry it took so long for the Round the come out. Ill try to get the next round out by this time next week, hopefully sooner.
