Story
Tensions rise as troops are beginning to mobilise in preparation for the conflict that is about to unfold. A powerful new material is now in possession of one of the civilizations, which might tip the scale in their favour one day.

Round 52 - 500 BC
Phoenicia
Leader: Tekis
Actions: [Global] Government, [Global] Send your new soldiers to defend Bananarama
Result: 17/20, 11/20
It was time to unify the entire civilization under one government, so a government was formed. Tekis was named the Tea King and was now the head of the Phoenician monarchy. A government facilitates research by unifying everyone, so you get +2 to tech research rolls.
You sent your new soldiers over to Musa Sapientum Fixa. They accepted you as backup and let you stay in their village.

Result: 13/20 -8 +5 = 10/20, 18/20 -9 +4 = 13/20, 20/20! -8 +1 = 13/20, 15/20 -8 +8 = 15/20, 18/20 -9 = 9/20, 14/20 +4 = 18/20
Your blacksmiths fail to create good iron armour, despite their best efforts. The ones they made were either too heavy or too hard to recreate. They have to try more models.
Your inventors and healers get to work trying to develop a system to remember things. They remembered that the Laestrygonians would colour bits of animal hides or tree bark with weird symbols to keep track of their goods. Your inventors decided to copy that idea, making a system of symbols and words to make a writing system. Writing gives +2 to tech research.
You send a crew over to the Hollow Sandpeople to trade. When they arrived at Hollow Dust, they chatted and traded goods. Through diceroll, they traded their irrigation methods, which will help tremendously for farming when water can be far, for war rhinos, which give +2 to combat rolls or +3 if they’re aimed towards buildings. Although Hollow Sand splintered from the Bananarama because of differences in ideology, you still get along relatively well, but not enough to raise reputation.
Excess food can be stored in numerous containers, but when you have a lot of food to store, such as grains, you will need a building dedicated to it. That’s why you built granaries, which store various crops while keeping them relatively out of reach of pests. This excess food contributes to an increase in population.
You send your four explorers to the Spanish regions. Their trip was brief, because they packed very lightly, and they found nothing of interest.
Iron is a very useful metal, better than bronze in both durability and strength. That is why you abandoned copper tools in favour of using iron tools. These much more efficient iron tools increase food production, and in turn, your population.
Also, you were visited by the Laestrygonians. They complimented your militarised society and got along well with your population, but not substantially. They traded their knowledge of sailboats for your pottery.

Britannia
Leader: Arthur of Londinium
Actions: [Global] Establish a new village
Result: 14/20
Your village was getting a bit crowded and it was time to expand, so you sent a crew to build a new village. Winchester was built in no time, leaving lots of new room for people to move in.
Also, you were visited by the Laestrygonians. It had been a while and you were glad to see them again, so you threw a welcome party for them. They traded their longbows for your furnaces, but you were so grateful, you did one better and threw in ironwork, free of charge! THese longbows were tipped with inferior bronze arrows, which you discarded in favour of more durable iron arrows. You are now allies.
You now have a second global action.
You now have enough population to become a civilization.

Laestrygonians
Leader: Orko
Actions: [84] Smoke signals, [80 (Farmer, fisher)] Waterwheel, [20] Wagons, [37 (36 traders)] Trade with Britannia, [Global] Fertilization, [Global] Trade with Hellenes
Result: 15/20 -6 +5 = 14/20, 13/20 -7 +7 = 13/20, 14/20 -9 +5 = 10/20, 16/20 -8 +12 = 20/20!, 10/20 +5 = 15/20, 18/20 +11 = 20/20!
Watchtowers are great to spot enemies from a distance, but they still had to be built close to villages so that they may alert them. This can change with smoke signals, which your humans engineered to use different smoke shapes to deliver messages at a much farther distance. This enables you to build outposts, which can alert main villages, giving -3 to an attacker’s roll, which will be upgraded to -4 with outposts.
The millstones were successful in crushing grain, but they still had to be done by hand. It was tiresome, so your people tried to find a way to use the environment around them to their advantage. They noticed that a river’s current can be very powerful, pushing things along. SO, they made wooden wheels with protrusions all around the outside, and placed it above the river, so that the planks could be pushed by the current. It was a success! The wheel would spin through the sheer force of the current, which meant that the millstones could be attached to this wheel so that they may continually spin without human intervention. This waterwheel is a lot more efficient, so you can produce a lot more food, increasing your population.
Your goatherds take good care of their goats, but they didn’t think they could hook them up to carts so they may pull things. They were simply too small to be able to efficiently pull carts full of goods or people.
You send an expedition over to Britannia to see if their situation improved. When you arrived, the people looked cheerful and happy. It seemed that the dark days of sickness were gone. They were excited to finally see their favourite trading partners again, so they threw a huge festival for you. It was lots of fun. When the festival was over, you traded some of your longbows tipped with bronze arrows for their superior furnaces. On your way back, you were surprised with a parting gift, a free lesson in ironwork! You traded enough to become allies.
Back home, your farmers were starting to notice that the earth’s quality would deteriorate if they farmed the land too intensely, they wanted to revitalise the land with nutrients so that they may keep farming for longer. They thought that, since fruits and vegetables were good for them, they should be good for the earth, right? So, they took all the rotten and inedible crops they had and ground them up, mixing them with some water and soil, spreading them around the fields. It did wonders! This recycling improved the land quality and helped harvest more crops, which increased population.
You send Gerla on an expedition to visit the Hellenes. When they arrived, they were pleasantly surprised by how militarised the Hellenes had become, with walls, iron weapons and soldiers with formations. They got along quite well on a few points, such as the importance of a good military, but nothing too important. They came on a mission. They traded their knowledge of sailboats for the Hellenes’ pottery. When they came back, they used these pots to store goods, which helped increase population.

Actions: [Global] Better… Food?, [Global] Improve Walls
Result: 19/20, 20/20! +2 = 20/20!
Your food right now is pretty basic, but it can use some improvement. You start farming more produce and mixing them up using various spices, which you also start farming, to make delectable dishes. Along with increasing your population, fancy cooking will be added to your culture tab, and spices may become a very valuable commodity later…
You improve your walls and incorporate anti-siege weapons, such as mounting catapults on the walls. These stone walls would normally give -2 to invasion rolls, but they will give a bonus -2 if there are siege weapons involved.
Also, you were visited by the Phoenicians. Instead of trade, they came with soldiers, offering them as backup soldiers for you. Obviously, you accept, keeping them safe in your village as reserve.
You were also visited by the Mongols. This visit was actually very concerning, because the Mongol horde came with their army, backed with herds of animals, a clear symbol of sheer power. They are prepared for war, and confrontation now feels inevitable.
Due to recent confrontations, your relations with the Mongols have degraded significantly.

Leader: Evolution4Weak
Action: [110 (44 builders, 32 scouts)] New village, [54 (22 philosophers)] Study the meteor, [54 (22 philosophers)] Mathematics
Result: 16/20 -4 +5 = 17/20, 13/20 -7 +8 = 14/20, 19/20 -7 +8 = 20/20!
It was time to establish a new village. You build one and name it Latipa. This new village creates space for more people to move in, increasing population.
You came to an agreement with the scouts of Kuegelland and brought the meteor back to your village to study it. This meteor contained a metal that was much tougher than iron, titanium! This titanium was in very limited quantities, so once you use it, it’ll disappear from your tech tab. It’s also shareable, unless you give it away, in that case it will also disappear from your tech tab.
Mathematics is a very important subject in warfare and everyday life. It helps solve problems and predict things, such as trajectories or quantities. That is why you decided to develop your society’s mathematics, which gives +1 to research rolls. As a bonus, it really helped create siege engines, so you made catapults, which give +2 to combat rolls, or +5 if they target buildings. These are upgradable.

Actions: [Global] Roads, [Global] Metallurgy
Result: 15/20, 20/20! +4 = 20/20!
Traversing the stretch of land between your different villages can be a bit of a challenge. That is why Montezuma ordered the pavement of roads between villages and buildings. These dirt roads facilitate the construction of buildings, granting +2 to infrastructure rolls and +3 to trade rolls if you establish a trade route. These are upgradable.
There may not be a lot of naturally occurring copper in the Mexican Valley, but that didn’t stop your people from using any bit they could scrounge up to smelt it into bronze, a tougher alloy.
Also, you were visited by the Kingdom of Coyotl, an NPC civilization that lives South from here. They are peaceful, but mostly militarily focused, which means your conflicting ideologies make you start off on the wrong foot. Maybe granting them favours of bringing them gifts may warm up your relations?
You are now officially a civilization.

Result: 15/20 -8 +1 = 8/20, 17/20 -8 +1 = 10/20, 19/20 -8 +1 = 12/20, 13/20
You’ve been nomadic for so long, you decided it would be better to settle down. Unfortunately, you couldn’t develop a proper form of permanent shelters, so you had to keep moving.
With your new knowledge of ironsmithing, you wanted to improve your weapons and cast them out of iron. Unfortunately, your researchers could not produce enough because of limited resources in the area they were in at the time.
You’re trying to develop siege weapons, but to do that, you first need to develop your mathematics. With mathematics, you can now research various siege weapons, and it even grants a +1 to research rolls.
You take your entire army and herds and you march towards the Bananaraman capital, Musa Sapientum Fixa. They feel intimidated by your bony and sinister armour and by your huge herds, a symbol of power. They understood the message, you mean business, and you’re ready for war. They will not back down though, so it seems that the clash is but a grasp away! The Bananarama are now hostile.

You task your researchers to develop better bows. They develop recurve bows, which, given its particular shape, increases the power of every shot. With copper arrows, this new bow grants +3 to combat rolls.
Your researchers develop new tactics to stay ahead and keep the advantage on the battlefield. They come up with the phalanx, inspired by the Hellenes, which grants +2 to combat rolls.
Your explorers stay near the crash site and eventually cede the meteor to the Tarkahmehd. They were mostly happy that they could work out a deal peacefully without compromising their relations.
Your farmers try their best to build farms, but they end up trying to cultivate in an infertile field, which produces mediocre yieldings.
Your warriors patrol the area once again, but are ambushed by a hunting group that mistook them for prey. The hunting group ran away before they could get caught. Two of your soldiers died from the attack.
