The Ocilayads are governed by three Dernstu of Wisdom, Fortitude, and Empathy.

The hive mind of the Scaar is worked by near mindless drones, following pheromones and little else. The queen of them all is the only one with a will. The queen has more on the mind than just survival.

@BowlDawg
While inherently difficult to gather supplies for the journey, nobody else wants wants to go, so they offer up the supplies they can give and the group goes to explore. This adventure is quickly halted, however, due to the fact that not far along into the tunnels, none of them can see anything.

The Pei Falso can be a rather simple people. Their actions are dictated to make their own lives easier. How will this carry out into their culture in the future?

@PositiveTower
Giving one primal Smitzlerz to each adult Smitzlerz becomes a problem based on the fact that they do not have enough slaves for as many adults that are in the tribe. Aggression and infighting begins to occur.
Further lands are explored and settled by the Smitzlers.
Action Points: 3

Life

Plants
Waximus: Rarely, a tree leaking sticky wax is found in the hills. This tree bears nuts which can be picked up and blown far away by the wind.

Nuck: A nocturnal creature that is very weak roams the night, searching for discarded nuts.
Slink: A snake like organism resides around the trees of the hills and will coil up them to eat the nuts.

Final Round

Based on the fact that this game is extremely complicated and extremely big, I’m going to have to end the game here. Already, there are dozens of factors I have to plan for while doing every round. As the game continues, those factors will only multiply, and I simply can’t handle that.

Without further ado, I present the final round.

@Svrangite
Improvements to farming are successful, now the grasses yield a greater harvest.

@PositiveTower
While first contact with the Quadras is met with aggression and some bloodshed from both sides, continued efforts prove fruitful as the two species seem to derive a basic understanding of each other.
More primal slaves are captured and given to more adults, still not enough for every adult, but enough so that tensions are no longer rising.
Total Population: 3
Discovered Species: 4
Land Explored: 3

Final Culture: Tribal Dictatorship
Award! Your species was the first to create weaponry!

@serialkiller
The Saifs start to make the Crush show less aggression.
Saif population increases once more, but this has caused the tribe to run out of food. Many go hungry and are understandably upset by this.
Their ability to obtain food from the bushes is increased, but it is still not enough.
In the wake of the issue of mass hunger, a Saif elder has decided to begin drawing. This elder gathers children around and tells the stories of their drawings.

Non-Player Societies

Antidernstu:
The Antidernstu were the group of Ocililayad that turned up their noses to the idea of the Dernstu leaders. They broke away from the main group and formed a new society in a forest near a river.

New Queendom:
Not wanting to commune with her mother, the new queen of the Scaar left with her drones. They covered their tracks and went to the other side of a nearby lake.

Quadra:
The sworn rivals of the Smitzlerz, believed to be primitive animals, they had actually formed their own society and had already made several advancements in communication by time the Smitzlerz had discovered them.

As a developer I never really look at forum games so I’ve never seen you around. I must say as a person who has been a DM and GM for numerous tabletop games I fully understand how hard it can be to maintain things like this. Good job :slight_smile:
