Action 3: Create A Form Of Currency
Ok for gantzos:(global) create a smithy
Also my number of smiths is 30 now
For my capital my bulders (now 40)upgrade my town hall into a palace,and my inventors discover math,also my invetor count is 20 and my healer 15, And my smiths try again to discover metal armor .The rest of my population try to create a government (citizen stratocracy if possible it’s like starship troopers or the roman Republic)
For cillis:(global)have my soldiers discover drilling in order to be more disciplined
Also I have a new unit of warriors
Called cataphracts (heavy cav/war rhinos)
And they are around 15
action 1: get down and dirty (make babies).
action 2: improve the strength of the wall.
With the change in demographics and the sudden growth of Laestrygonia comes instability. The human population rises up, and the nation is thrown into a terminal civil war. I’m thinking it will last 2 turns, during which there will be no conventional actions. 2 human splinter states will emerge afterwards: one in Belgium that’s an NPC, and one called Etxe with a capital called Berpizte, on an island in the Rhône delta (French Mediterranean).
I will continue playing as the human nation of Etxe, which will inherit the same technology but have a smaller population than Laestrygonia. Additionally, it will have some technologies reflective of its new humanity; namely a government, a religion and wooden houses.
The remaining neanderthals will be confined to scattered remote villages once the war is complete. This is all subject to game master approval, of course.
Chaos erupts around the globe, as one civilization falls into civil war from instability, while another begins to siege a village. It seems peace couldn’t last very long on its own…

Actions: [Global] Destroy the caltrops, [Global] Furnace
Result: 7/20 +7 = 14/20, 10/20 +2 = 12/20
Your reserve troops were sent on a special mission. They were here to convince the Bananarama that they were allies, so that they may destroy them from within. Once they entered the fortified village, their plan was to be set in motion. At night, while they were guarding, they took all the Bananarama’s secret weapons against the Mongol Horde, the caltrops, and destroyed them. Obviously, this won’t go unnoticed, and the perpetrators will soon be identified and hunted. Once the deed was done, your soldiers left the village and came back to Phoenicia.
Meanwhile, back home, you develop better furnaces to be able to smelt even better metals. These fire kilns use ceramic walls to trap the heat to create intense temperatures, capable of melting even stronger metals.
By the way, you have enough population to establish a third village.

The people of Gantzos build a structure dedicated to metallurgy, the smithy. Thanks to this building, all smithing rolls are a guaranteed success.
The town was hard to manage without a central building to organise everything, so your builders build a structure dedicated to that. This palace is very useful for organising research, so it gives +2 to research rolls, or +3 if you have a government.
Your people are interested in making more powerful weapons, which need more knowledge to be used. That is why you develop mathematics, so that you may be able to build even bigger and more complicated siege weapons. As a bonus, mathematics also gives +1 to research rolls.
This time, your blacksmiths succeed in making proper iron armour. This chainmail armour is very tough and grants +4 to combat rolls.
The village needed to be organised to function properly. That is why you decided to put a central government in place. You are a highly militarised nation that holds its military in very high standards, so naturally, it was a good fit to have your government run by the military, making you a stratocracy. This grants a +2 to research rolls.
Training your soldiers is very important. They have to have the perfect form and mentality, and what better way to train them than through drills? These drills are taught in training academies, which helps make your soldiers better, granting +2 to combat rolls.
By the way, you still have to assign jobs to 115 people.

Result: 15/20
The human population was outweighing the Neanderthals, who didn’t take that too kindly. Fights were breaking out, which escalated to civil war! To survive the war, you have to pick a faction (which you have already done) and decide whether you should try to win the war (which could be costly in lives) or run away, relocating somewhere else, which would let you keep your technology but create splinter nations that are hostile towards you.
So far, three fights broke out in the capital that resulted with eighteen deaths. The race for stability begins. You have 3 turns to come up with a solution or you will collapse from the chaos.

Result: 17/20, 10/20 +3 = 13/20
You increase your population through means I shall not discuss to keep this forum safe for work.
Your research into better walls leads you to reinforcing your stone walls with mud and adding crenels, which help to drop undesirables on top of the attacking army. This will grant -3 to enemy attacks or -5 to siege weapon attacks.
You finish your research just in time, because the Mongols have blocked your food routes and surrounded your village, declaring a siege! Through diceroll, you now have three turns to break the siege and emerge victorious before you run out of food. If you run out of food, you will start starving and losing population each turn after that.
Also, the reserve soldiers the Phoenicians sent left the night before the siege was announced, and your caltrops were destroyed.

Action: [Global] Standing Army, [Global] Titanium tools, [Global] Currency
Result: 15/20, 10/20 +8 = 18/20, 7/20 +8 = 15/20
Your villagers are ready to become an official army, but for that, they need formal training. That is why you construct training academies, which help these soldiers train to be fit for the standing army. A training academy grants +2 to combat rolls. Now all you need is to assign some people to become soldiers.
You task your expert smiths to forge tools out of the precious titanium. The tools are durable, much better than your current bronze ones, and are exponentially better for harvesting materials. They increase your population drastically. You have lost your titanium technology.
Bartering can be a tough system, as sometimes it’s hard to define a value for each item. To combat this problem, you design a currency out of gold pieces. You choose gold because of its relative rarity and ease of malleability, which allows the addition of intricate designs on each coin so they may be hard to copy. These new coins help with trading with others, granting +2 to trading rolls or +5 if the other party also has currency.

You weave an intricate basket and fill it with goods native to your civilization, such as maize, honey and even a little bronze. The Coyotl kingdom is impressed and is ready to warm up to you. Their king tasks you to find a nation he can conquer. He gives you 3 turns to do so, or else he will turn hostile and conquer you instead. Until then, they are neutral towards your people.
Following the success in improving your relations with the Coyotl, you decide to further strengthen it by proposing a trade route. They accept, paving the way to their capital Tlacopan West from here (yes I retconned their location). Trade routes are an excellent way to increase your civilization’s wealth, which helps keep happiness high. The Coyotl have also started pilgriming to Sola Tempa to participate in their own sacrificial rituals.

Actions: [Global] Permanent Housing, [Global] Government, [Global] Siege
Result: 17/20, 15/20, 5/20 +16 = 20/20!
Your people find an ideal spot to settle down and finally create permanent housing. These houses are made of mud and wood, and are much more spacious than your yurts, which increases your population. You are now a sedentary civilization and can build more complex structures.
With permanent homes, the village was a little chaotic to manage without a central government system. So you set up a monarchy with a caste system, where the emperor and his family are the most important, and slaves are the least important. This new government system helps with developing technology, and grants +2 to research rolls.
You order your army to surround Musa Sapientum Fixa and cut their food sources by blocking the gates, declaring a siege. Since you brought your herds with you, your army will last 8 turns before they start to starve. While blocking the gates, you met a nation declaring themselves from Kugelland, who were just passing by, visibly unnerved by your intimidating army. Your relations with the Bananarama are now unsalvageable.
Also, you were visited by the Hollow Sandpeople, who came in search of trade. They gave you writing for your wheels and improved your relations.

You send an expedition to search for more civilizations. You sent them South, past the Hellenes, to the land of sand and sun. There, your people met the nation of Hollow Sand, who told you of a nation more Southern from there, from which they split from. When you went there, you met the Bananarama, but couldn’t interact with them because they were in a siege, which is how you met the Mongols.
Your people are starting to be very experienced with clay, so they start making containers out of it, which they use to store food, making it last longer, since the pots are rodent proof, increasing your population.
Your warriors defend the area around your territory, renewing the defense bonus.
You now have enough population to establish a new village.

Ah, that king guy is bad. I guess I have to prepare myself for war now 
Action I: [Start the construction of walls around Tenochtitlán] Montezuma was worried about the Coyotls, as they seemed rather savage. He decided that they’re dangerous plague that must be eliminated at all cost, but slowly and tactically. He ordered to his men to build big walls around the greatest capital on the world, Tenochtitlán, but didn’t declare the true reason and instead claimed that the walls are for defense from the wild beasts that live outside the mighty city.
Action II: [Send scouts north to search for other civilizations/allies] Montezuma sent scouts north so they can find a potential ally against the savages in the west. Of course once again the true reason wasn’t declared and Montezuma claimed that he’s just finishing his task.
Action III (not global): [Spy on Tlacopan] (I don’t have jobs yet so sorry for not using numbers) Montezuma orders to his most loyal traders that go inside Tlacopan to draw a map of the city - it’s roads, walls, towers, farms, once again the reason is not given.
Action IV (not global): [Create job: Soldier] Montezuma kindly asked for the king of the Coyotls to send him some soldiers who can train the Mexicans (like 100 Mexicans) into the arts of war. Montezuma explained that he doesn’t know who may be lurking outside Tenochtitlán and Tlacopan and that both Mexica and Coyotl must be prepared for a war against a dangerous civilization with lots of resources.
Action V (not global): [Start storing food] Montezuma was worried that if war broke out, the farm in Tenochtitlán may become unusable or unproductive and large amounts of food must be stored in case, so the population won’t starve.

Result: 15/20 +5 = 20/20!, 14/20
You decide to send an expedition to the Mongols with the desire to trade in hopes of building up your relations. When you arrived, you offered to trade currency (now upgraded to gold coins since you can smelt) so that they have no more need to barter for goods. The Mongols are pleased with this offer, and give you the knowledge of ironsmithing. On top of that, they were so excited about a new form of trade that they even gifted you some horses, a symbol of great respect from the Monglian empire. They were pleased when they learned that you helped them during their siege, destroying the Bananaraman caltrops, which increased your relations with them. Now that you have domesticated a mount, you can create cavalry units.
Getting exercise is great for health. Wrestling is a great way to stay fit and healthy, while developing your strength. This can prove to be useful in battle, granting +1 in combat rolls. As a bonus, this new entertainment improves your population’s happiness.

Result: 17/20 -4 +3 = 16/20, 19/20 -9 +12 = 20/20!, 19/20 -9 +3 = 13/20, 19/20 -8 +5 = 16/20, 20/20! -9 = 11/20, 12/20 -9 +2 = 5/20, 17/20 -8 +6 = 15/20, 10/20 -8 +13 = 15/20
You build a great temple for your priests to use for worship. This temple is very grand, with chiseled details and great spiraling columns. It’s pretty good on its own, but with a little more work, it can really become a landmark.
With your extensive knowledge of mathematics, you develop siege engines capable of hurtling huge projectiles at long distances. Although the catapult can be useful, it doesn’t have much flexibility in terms of angle. That is why, in addition to developing catapults, your inventors upgraded them by making ballistae, which are far more accurate and portable. These ballistae are much better for sieging than catapults, granting +3 to combat rolls, or +6 if they are aimed towards infrastructure. Maybe with a little more development, you can find a way to scale the mechanism to make a portable mini-ballista…
Treating the wounded can be difficult without a building dedicated to doing so, which is why you built hospitals, which your healers use to treat their patients. This prevents the spreading of diseases, keeping people healthier, increasing your population.
People would usually dock their sailboats anywhere near the shore, tying them to a tree, but it can get difficult to carry merchandise without proper infrastructure. Your builders and shipbuilders got to work and made docks, so that ships can now get a dedicated docking area and unload with ease. This also helps with shipbuilding, granting guaranteed success rolls for shipbuilding rolls.
You go to Kugelland to trade with them. You traded your knowledge of mathematics for their currency techniques. Currency grants +2 to trading rolls or +5 if the other party also has currency. Your trading increases your relations with them. You now tolerate each other.
From your visit to Kugelland, you learn of a nation East from here of great wealth. You go there, hoping to meet them. When you arrived, you discovered the Phenicians, a great trading nation. They were fearful of your militaristic viewpoints, but were naturally trusting of strangers, so it evened out to neutrality.
You tried to develop barracks for your soldiers to train,but they burned down in an accident involving an unextinguished campfire. The whole building collapsed, halting progress.
Your soldiers develop pikes, an excellent weapon against cavalry, with the downside of having to be held with both hands, lowering protection. This gives you the possibility to create heavy spearmen and grants +2 to combat rolls…
By the way, I just realised you don’t have a mount, so you can’t have cavalry units. I converted your cataphracts to soldiers for now.

Result: 19/20 -7 +4 = 16/20, 9/20 -7 +2 = 4/20, 18/20 -7 +2 = 13/20, 18/20 -9 +2 = 11/20, 16/20 -8 = 8/20, 11/20 -8 +2 = 5/20
The time for Arthur to govern his nation had arrived, as he had finally crowned himself as the first king of Britannia! A government makes coordinating research easier, granting +2 to research rolls.
As his first decree, king Arthur I ordered all the children of Britannia to receive the same education. To do so, he ordered the construction of schools to standardise children’s education. This angered parents, who refused to send their children away, fearing for their safety. No one uses the schools, which become vacant and lose all their value, being repurposed into houses.
Your hunters went out looking for a good steed and found horses. It took a while to capture them, but next turn (because of the passing of time) you’ll have tamed horses.
Your mathematicians are tasked with developing a good system to calculate simple equations. They come up with integer mathematics, which helps to calculate trajectories, costs and other such potential problems, granting +1 to research rolls and unlocking siege weapon development.
The other hunters, tasked with finding potential companions, fail to capture wolves, who either escaped or died from their traps.
Your philosophers try to develop proper theories on the composition of nature and matter, but can’t come up with anything concrete.

Result: 20/20!
The humans decide the physically superior Neanderthals are not worth fighting, and decide to flee South, to the Rhone delta. There, they are lead by Egoi, a shamanistic man full of new ideas. These ideas were previously unestablishable, because of the materialistic viewpoint of the Neanderthals, but now that the population is human, a new government is established. Government grants +2 to research rolls. The forest-rich area they settled in made your people build houses out of wood, rather than sod, which is sturdier, but less hidden. Humans are also more spiritual, creating a religion, the details of which are up to you. 321 people followed you to the delta, while the rest continued North-East, to an unknown location. As for the Neaderthals, they probably weren’t too happy to be deserted, which means you probably shouldn’t cross them again. Laestrygonia now dissolved, resetting all of your relations, but you get to keep your technology. You establish 2 villages with the possibility to establish 4. Please name your villages. Stability isn’t completely reestablished and people are still tense from the situation. (The event ended in one turn because you got a 20. Sorry if you wanted it to last longer!)

Result: 19/20, 16/20 +3 = 19/20
Since your farms are inaccessible, you build gardens within your walls to produce food even during the siege. There isn’t much space to do so, but this gives you an extra 3 turns before you starve, with a total now of 5. Your people are starting to worry if they’re going to make it…
Meanwhile, the people pray to the banods for something, ANYTHING to happen so that they may have the upper hand. It seems the sky answers with… rain. Lots of it. Torrential rain, turning the loamy ground to mud. The river is starting to flood and the army is forced to relocate for now. The siege is canned, but the army will be back next turn, and your crops are ruined, so the timer still isn’t cancelled. However, you have the freedom to annex villages or move troops outside your walls safely.
Due to not interacting with them in a while, the Farenit forgot about you.

You send an expedition to establish a new village. Aether creates space for more people to move into the old villages.
Another expedition is sent over to build Lilac, a new village. Lilac also creates more space for people to move in.
With the rise of so many villages, it’s becoming increasingly harder to manage every village under one government. That is why the Elders decided that every village will have its own governor, who reports to the capital. This sovereignty removes the stability handicap, allowing you to have as many villages as you want, but it may instigate revolution from the villages if they are unhappy.

Unfortunately, while you were trying to build walls, the Coyotl were growing weary and ordered you to stop, otherwise they would send their soldiers after you. Not wanting to start a war until you were prepared, you obliged, and ceased all activities pertaining to wall building.
You sent your scouts to do a perimeter of the lake, to see if there were any civilizations willing to cooperate. On the eastern bank, they found the Ocelomeh in their capital Texcoco. THey were friendly and were more interested in trade, but when you voiced your concerns to them, they weren’t exactly ready to help you, since you were strangers. They decided to test your trustability by entrusting you with a mission. They wanted to be sure you were a reliable trading partner, so they want you to establish a trade route with only them, so that they may be your only client. Only then will they decide to help you. They give you 3 turns, after which they will refuse to help you, but still be willing to trade.
You send your traders during their usual trade run to Tlacopan with an unusual request: To map out the capital’s layout, paying close attention to fortifications and weaponry. When they got there, they requested a guide to take them around the town, under the pretext that it’s to figure out what the people would need the most. They passed the speech check and the guide believed them whole-heartedly, taking them around the city, where they noted all their observations on a sheet for future reference. Here is what they figured out: Tlacopan has 60 warriors with obsidian weapons, 20 archers with basic bows and flint arrows, stone walls and catapults stationed at the gate. The soldiers were wearing cloth armour.
The king of Coyotl was pleased by how quickly Montezuma obeyed him when he ordered him to stop building walls, so he felt like he was trustable enough to send his army generals to train Montezuma’s people, especially when he mentioned that he found a nation, but it was powerful and hostile, so he needed to train an army. So the king sent a few generals to build training academies where they taught the Mexicans how to properly fight. These training academies grant +2 to combat rolls.
In preparation for war, Montezuma orders people to build granaries to stock up on food, since farms may not be available. These granaries help protect against vermin and preserve the food longer, which increases your population, and can prolong your starvation metre in the event of a siege or a famine.

Actions: [Global] Research hub, [Global] Better weapons, [Global] New village
Result: 13/20, 19/20 +4 = 20/20!, 18/20
You build a research hub in your capital, which is a hotspot for scientists and philosophers to gather and discuss new ideas and experiment, which grants +3 to tech research rolls.
To have the upper hand in battle, it helps to have a better weapon than your enemy. So, you improve your weapons using your knowledge of ironsmithing to make iron weapons, which grant +4 to combat rolls. Not stopping there, you develop a unique weapon, the halberd, a two-handed double-headed spear, which you outfit your heavy infantry with, granting a bonus +2 to combat rolls when used, with the drawback of having shields be unequipable (which makes sense since heavy infantry is even more vulnerable to archers than regular infantry).
You establish a new village named Baltakhand. The new area gives space for more people to move in, increasing your population. Villages are starting to become hard to manage, which decreases your stability…
Also, during your siege of Musa Sapientum Fixa, it rained so hard that the ground was becoming too muddy and the river was flooding, forcing you to relocate for one turn. After that turn, you can go back to sieging for free (but attacking will require an action).
Also, you were visited by the Phoenicians. They informed you that they infiltrated the Bananarama before you and destroyed their captrops, helping you in your campaign, which pleased you very much. They gave you their knowledge of trade by currency, to which you responded by sharing your knowledge if ironsmithing, as well as horseback riding, as a gift for helping the Mongolian empire. Currency grants +2 to trade rolls or +5 if the other nation also has currency. You improve your relations thanks to the Phonecians’ services.
You were also visited by the Hollow Sandpeople. They traded their knowledge of agriculture for your iron shields. Now that you can farm, you produce a lot more food, but lots of your land is unfit for farming, so it doesn’t increase by much. Your trading improved your relations.

You establish a new village, which opens up some room for more people to move in, increasing your population.
Your researchers play around with fire and find out that, if covered, a lantern can float if it’s light enough, such as a lantern made from thin, smooth bark. This might work on a larger scale, but your technology is too limited right now.
You send your explorers on a quest to find an NPC civ. When they explored West, they found a distraught nation that looked familiar. That is because it was in fact the remains of Laestrygonia, or at least, some remains. This is now the nation of Aitor, demoted from civ status because of its weakness. It was a relatively small village, almost your size, but they weren’t exactly open to trade right now.
Farming is Stadburg’s curse. No matter how hard you try to improve your farming, something always seems to go wrong. This time, when your farmers tried to fertilise the soil with repurposed animal droppings, they would clumsily drop some of it on the crops they harvested, which poisoned the people. Only two people died, but it’s still a pretty big deal.
Your guards do another tour of the perimeter, renewing the timer yet again.
Also, you were visited by the Hollow Sandpeople. They traded their knowledge of better furnaces for your knowledge of division of labour. This trading increased your relations.
You have gained a second global action.
