Planet genesis

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Also you need swimming of high level to control where do you want to go in the big water…

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Just don’t drown, and a tail to help direction and you’re set in reality you can be dog awful at swimming as long as you don’t drown which is likely how sauropods did it. Thanks to their airsacs adding boyance.

Though it’s up to cat in reality and what he thinks.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

You may freeze to death before you’ll reach the desired shore…

[CatSquared]

Because of the strong waves/tides, in order to survive you need powerful swimming, regardless of your size.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

If I develop a good enough flight ability, will I be able to fly to the other islands?

[CatSquared]

Yes, flight is one way of migration. However, the islands are quite far away, so you will need good flight.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

By that you mean which flight “level”?

[CatSquared]

The nearest Island would need 15.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

That will… require quite the much more mutations.

[CatSquared]

It’s the same as what is needed to swim there, as it takes a lot of swimming power to get there.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I see. And beyond the islands lies a much more vast expanse, correct?

[CatSquared]

A lot of the land outside of the continent you reside on is just islands, but there are some large landmasses, far away.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

They will only be reached in a way higher amount of rounds I can imagine though.

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…

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.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Looks nice.
Will higher intelligence tiers give more actions?

[CatSquared]

At higher intelligence (Most likely Tier 3) some mutations will potentially be able to be used as actions, however that might change. The main thing for Tiers above 1 is new technology.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

And I can assume certain techpieces will be locked behind higher tech levels, correct?

[CatSquared]

Yes, as each Tier except 0 is similar to a thrive stage. 1 is Aware, 2 is awakening, 3 is Society, 4 is industrial, 5 is space. You can’t gain nuclear fusion in the stone age, or spaceflight before the space stage.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

@CatSquared

Tier except 0 is similar to a thrive stage

You mean macroscopic?

[CatSquared]

Good point. I think it is a bit more than macroscopic, but probably partway through.
