The Thrive Odyssey

Mr.Pigeon · June 28, 2020, 7:17am

I am honestly conflicted, both Coyotl and Ocelomeh don’t seem reliable, plus the Coyotls have catapults which is very bad. But I guess the cycle of lying has to continue for now

Action I: [Stop the trade route with the Coyotls] While this action seems rather hostile, Montezuma tried to explain to the KotC (King of the Coyotls) that both Mexica and Coyotl must stop trading for now, as the enemy may harass the trade routes and cause instability. The trade can, of course, continue once we destroy the threat outside.

Action II: [Research/create bowmen] Montezuma, alone and worried stared deeply into the stars looking for answers to his troubles… And then magically an answer came to him - those “catapult” things seem flammable. In fact the whole city of Tlacopan seems flammable! If only there was a way to throw something towards the city and start a fire… In fact if only there was a way to just throw something sharp towards the city from safe distance… And then a second answer came to Montezuma - [insert bow and arrow physics here]. Montezuma was pleased with his ideas, but for a moment he stopped and asked himself if that was possible. But then he remembered that the Coyotls, too, have archers. So it wasn’t something that only the Gods could achieve. Of course the real question remains… Can the arrows start making things on fire…?

Action III: [Research gunpowder]/(If it is too early for gunpowder…) [Research primitive catapults]

Action IV: [Search for more civilizations/potential allies]

Action V: [Create new job] (still not sure if that’s an action, lol) Montezuma, by seeing how the Coyotls train his people, wondered if his people can start training each other for different stuffs. And thus the job of the “Scholar” was created and 50 Mexicans became scholars./(if creating a job isn’t an action) [Create bronze weapons] The scholars had the genial idea of melting the bronze into a little deadlier shape (swords and spears).

Townsville is now called Uharte, and straddles the location of our world’s Marseille and the nearby Frioul islands.

Religion

The religion of Etxe is called Iragarmen. It is unusual in that it is silent on the subject of deities, although it is easily mixed with other traditions that do feature deities, and does assert the existence of some sort of greater beings. The religion centers around the concept that reality as we know it is a small slice or island within a much greater reality that can’t normally be understood by humans.

Worship by the followers of Iragarmen typically takes the form of meditation on short passages known as egia, which are recited or written on holy cylinders or cone sections called obos that are rolled along the ground. These egia are said to have been provided by the mythological enlightened ones of the past who learned of the greater reality, and to reveal truths about it. While a few are straightforward, most are nonsensical (at least to the unenlightened).

Iragarmen says that a person is a part of a greater being that is passing through our false reality. When it enters, a person is born, and when they die that part of the greater being has continued out into the greater reality. Most followers believe that a different part of the same greater being will eventually pass through again, but there is a minority who say the greater reality is so large that never happens. The goal of the followers of the faith is to understand and connect with their greater selves and the greater reality, to end all the struggles of their life.

Politics

The government of Etxe is a chaotic oligarchy, with both hereditary temporal leaders and charismatic spiritual wise men wielding considerable influence. Maybe someday a more formal system will be established to cut down on the infighting.

To simplify things, I’ve combined healer and scribe, as well as farmer and goatherd. There’s also only one species now. Here’s a new CSV population breakdown:

CSV

,Farmer,Fisherman,Trader,Scholar,Soldier
Berpizte,85,25,50,10,30
Uharte,40,50,0,6,15

Actions: The traders, 5 scholars and 10 soldiers from Berpizte trade shields with Hellenes for mathematics. The remaining citizens there develop evangelism. The people of Uharte build port facilities.

Pentaphon · June 29, 2020, 4:41pm

Actually, I’ll trade camouflage with Hellenes for the math.

Story

Lots of trading is happening between the Golden League as the Bananarama desperately try to escape their fate. In other news, the Mexicans are preparing for war and are gathering as many allies as they can.

Result: 11/20 +2 = 13/20, 19/20
You heard rumours about the collapse of Laestrygonia, which sounded unbelievable, so you had to go investigate yourself. You sent a crew to explore the coast, where you met the remains of Laestrygonia, the human civilization of Exte. They looked a lot less brutish and more peaceful, and were pleasant to interact with. You got along well thanks to your diplomatic nature.

There was a set of unspoken rules among humans in general, such as basic morals, like how killing and stealing is wrong, but Tekis standardised these rules into laws that every citizen must follow. These laws help reduce the crime rate.

Also, you were visited by the Persian Empire. They are very militaristic and want to become the most powerful empire there is. They offer you to join them and ,in exchange for their protection, they will collect taxes and goods, as well as all your new technology. They give you 2 turns to think about it.

You were also visited by the Hollow Sandpeople. They gave you wheels in exchange for your bronze tools.

Result: 15/20 -9 +3 = 9/20, 11/20 -9 +9 = 11/20, 16/20 -5 +3 = 14/20, 18/20 -9 +4 = 13/20, 20/20! -8 +3 = 15/20, 12/20 -8 +10 = 14/20, 17/20 -9 +3 = 11/20
Your builders tried to construct an academy, but they lacked the resources to do so at the time.

Seeing the success of the ballista, you ordered your inventors to try and make a version soldiers could use. They make gastraphetes, which are more powerful than bows, but take a bit more time to reload. Nevertheless, they grant +3 to combat rolls.

Unhappy with the result, your men continue to improve the temple. They furnish it with tapestry and murals depicting religious scenes. In the centre floor, there is a mosaic with a top-down view of the entire city, with more room for it to be updated and expanded upon. The temple is now intricate and elegant enough to be considered a landmark! Landmarks are useful because they are a source of great prestige and wealth, used for tourism and pilgrimage. The income generated from this landmark increases your population.

You send a crew by boat to explore the nation that was once plagued by disease. When they arrived, they were greeted by soldiers patrolling the area, who escorted them to the nearest village. There, they presented themselves to the Britannians, who were happy to have visitors, although they were a little weary of your war-centred nature.

(I have to admit, I am a little confused by this action, since a shipwright is a job, but it was too late to ask you to clarify, so I just went along with it. Please tell me if you want to change it to something else, I’ll do so for free) Launching a boat in the water can be difficult, especially if it’s big. That’s why you built a slipway in your dock, which helps make boat travel easier, giving +3 to sailing rolls.

Your wooden shields definitely needed an upgrade, ever since you had access to ironsmithing, so you forged roman scutums out of iron, which are a lot stronger. You also made iron targes, which you pair your pikemen with. Iron shields grant +4 to combat rolls.

The rest of the Cilisians manage fields for farming, increasing your food production and population.

Also, you were visited by the people of Exte, who came to trade. They gave you their camouflaging techniques for your knowledge of mathematics. Camouflage grants -3 to invasion rolls to your enemies or grants you +3 to ambush rolls.

I forgot to add that docks add +2 to sailing rolls.

You send your settlers to establish the village of Liverpool, which makes more room for people to move in, increasing your population and granting an extra global action.

Your hunters finally capture wolves, which will take 2 turns to domesticate (because of time frames) before they can become proper hunting dogs.

It seems that Britannians really don’t like school. No matter how hard you push it, people refuse to send their kids over. You know what they say: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Your scientists come up with a theory about how the world around them works. They establish the theory of atomism, or how matter is composed of finitely tiny particles, too small for the eye to perceive, which can connect with each other in different combinations to form different materials. Although flawed, this theory is close enough to reality and cannot be disproven due to limited technology, so it helps with tech research, granting +2 in that field.

Your engineers have gotten good at glassblowing, being able to make lenses out of it, which they use to make microscopes. With these wondrous new machines, the secrets of the world of the small can finally be attained. These grant +2 to research rolls in the scientific field.

Basic mathematics was an excellent way to solve problems in everyday life, but life isn’t always full of integers. You revised your current mathematics system to include numbers in between integers, which help with precision, granting +2 instead of +1 to research rolls.

Also, you were visited by the Hellenes. They are a militaristic nation, so they might seem a little pushy at times, but you still greeted them.

You can now ride horses.

You decide to try to build up your relations again, so you start with your nearest partner, the Hellenes. They were surprised when you arrived under a new name and new face. Nonetheless, they traded with you, offering you their knowledge of mathematics for your camouflage. It was a pleasant exchange, and the Hellenes were glad to know you were OK and that you were now back on track.

Iragarmen is held in very high importance in Etxe’s society, so preaching it was definitely encouraged. You would send missionaries to different local villages to try and persuade the people to join your faith. Their pitch was pretty convincing for a lot of people, who would convert and then move into your villages. This increases your population.

The people of Uharte live near the shores of the Mediterranean, so boats are a very important part of daily routine, from fishing to transporting goods. Docking boats is normally tough without proper infrastructure, as well as unloading merchandise, so when you built a port to accommodate the boats, it helped a lot. Ports are great shipyards, granting guaranteed success for ship-related rolls, as well as granting +2 to sailing rolls. The easier unloading of merchandise also increases your population.

Also, you were visited by the Phoenicians. They were obviously shook when they heard the tragic tale of your fractured nation, but they were glad that you were safe and sound.

Fearing for your life, you send a boat on an expedition to try and take over a nation. They find the Muppans in Spain, who were more spiritual and were very easy to conquer. You butchered their village and emerged victorious with no casualties, even managing to capture 15 prisoners who join your ranks. Their village is now yours to claim.

Back at Musa, while the Mongols were away, you decided to attack, bombarding them with artillery from your walls and charging with all of your villagers, hoping to drive the invader away. Your surprise attack gave you a tactical advantage, but your small units compared to the huge Mongolain army was of no match. You managed to shoot down a few of them and suffered few losses, totaling in 13 deaths out of 22 for you and 38 deaths for the Mongols. This can be considered a small victory, but your people are now worried that they have now angered the Mongols and that they will show no mercy, reducing your stability.

You decide to attack and destroy the Farenit. Although they had grown larger since the last time you visited them, they were still fairly weak in comparison to all of your combat technology, so you easily outmatched them, with only 2 casualties. 17 captured prisoners decided to join you, while the village is now yours to claim.

The flood now over, the Mongols go back to besieging you, preventing you from leaving the capital.

You send your people on an expedition to build a new village. They make it with a lot more space in mind, so even more people can move in. Hooray! You’ve reached the village cap. To increase the cap, your villages must become cities, which happens when they reach 500 population.

Your traders go to Kugelland to trade some of the bountiful resources they have acquired from the meteor to their less fortunate partners. They are eternally grateful, making you now allies.

Watchtowers would have been an excellent way to scout the area to ward off invaders, had it not been for the fact that you built your towers higher than the surrounding trees, which made them act like a beacon, revealing the location of your villages. Before you could finish constructing them, you were raided by bandits, who set fire to them and plundered your village at night, stealing your resources and killing your people from the fire spread. You lost 120 people to these raids.

To make research easier, you decided to construct a building so that all the scientists and philosophers may congregate and spread their ideas, which helps in tech research, granting +3 to them.

Your dirt roads can wash away with the rain, so you decide to upgrade them by making pathways out of stone bricks, which degrade a lot less and grant +3 to infrastructure rolls or +4 to trade rolls if you establish a trade route.

Montezuma was troubled with the task offered by the Ocelomeh, but he needed all the help he could get if he wanted to take down the Coyotl. He spent many days in his think tent scheming the best way to present the news, and he came up with the perfect excuse. He told the King of Coyotl that he must sever the trade route to protect both nations, since a trade route is the most vulnerable to raids. The king agreed and held no grudge against Montezuma. Task updated: Now you must set up a trade route with the Ocelomeh.

A weapon that sets things on fire from a distance would be very valuable to take down those catapults near the gate, so it became a priority to try and develop a potential weapon. Flaming arrows were what the people came up with, by igniting an arrow with the tip covered in cloth and fat, which can be sent flying from a bow and burn whatever it lands on. Flaming arrows with basic bows grant +1 to combat rolls or +2 if they’re against infrastructure.

Before you can build siege weapons, you have to have good knowledge on mathematics, so that you can predict trajectories. Mathematics also helps with tech research, granting +1 to those rolls.

You send your scouts on a mission to find another civilization. This time, exploring South, they find the Nahuatl. These people are currently going through a bit of a drought and would be eternally grateful if you could gift them some of your reserves so they can survive. In exchange, they promise to become your ally. You have 2 turns before they starve and collapse.

Assigning jobs is free, so you forged your weapons into more powerful bronze. Bronze weapons grant +3 to combat rolls.

You send a trading caravan over to Kugelland to give them iron and furnaces. In exchange, they gave you the Kongming lanterns. They are very happy with the transaction and you are now on good terms.

To combat the instability that comes with spreading yourself over many villages, you decide to grant sovereignty over them, so that they may function without you. The drawback is that if they are unhappy they may splinter and form their own nation, so you have to keep your villages happy.

The Mongol empire is prosperous and the living conditions should reflect that. You upgrade your houses by making them out of wood and stone, making cottages, which can fit more people, increasing your population.

To make paths between different villages, you decide to make dirt roads, which help when building infrastructure, granting +2 to infrastructure rolls, or +3 to trade rolls if you established a trade route.

Also, you were attacked by the Bananarama. While your army was camped West because of the flood, they used that occasion to stage a surprise attack and catch you off guard. You fought them back thanks to your superior army, but you still suffered 38 casualties, while the Bananarama suffered 13. You managed to push them back to Musa Sapientum Fixa, which you began to siege again. You have 6 turns before your army starts to starve.

You were always fascinated by the spider’s intricate web and how it can make such delicate but powerful traps that can stop insects midair. You decided to capture spiders to try and get your hands on your own silk. In this parallel universe, spider silk is easier to farm and obtain by raising spiders, which you start doing. You now have access to silk! Now if only you had a way to weave it…

Your people built watchtowers, but they were of poor quality and collapsed when no one was around.

It seems the problem really was Stadburg, since there was no problem managing farms in Zweibach. This increase in food production increases your population.

This time, while repurposing the pig droppings, your farmers were extra careful, and it worked wonderfully! Fertilizer increased food yieldings, which increased your population.

Your guards do another round, resetting the timer.

Also, you were visited by the people of Tarkahmehd. They came with the sole purpose of delivering excess resources to you, with nothing in return, increasing your population and relations.

You were also visited by the Mongols, who came bearing the gift of furnaces and iron. You gave them your Kongming lanterns in exchange. This pleasant surprise increased your relations with them.

You now have enough population to become a civilization.

My actions

All Philosophers must establish a school to educate the population.
All Peers must establish a Royal Federation (see details below).
All Farmers try to establish a permanent farm (see details below)!
All Mathematicians research on Mathematics N (Numeral characters).
All Engineers research on Vehicles N (Wheel).

Royal Federation

The King will now have a constitutional role, which means that a new Constitution will be made to limit his power. There will be three provinces, and three Lords will rule each of them. A mayor will rule each village. The King will share his power with the Lords and Mayors, even though he will still have more power on the Federal level. Another detail: each province is divided into regions. Regions are only for administrative purposes and do not possess a capital. Here are the provinces, regions & cities/villages.

Sussex

London

Londinium

The Capital City of Britannia and Sussex.

Wessex

South Wessex

Winchester

The Capital City of Wessex.

Norshire

West Norshire

Liverpool

Permanent Farms

Permanent farms are intended to produce crops every round. The only disadvantage is that it needs at least one group of farmers to maintain its crop production. If there is less than a group of farmers or none, then it will be considered inactive until there’s a new group of farmers for the upkeep.

Okay, I have to do something stupid now, as my time is running out. I hope it works:D Also, the “Find a civ quest” should be 1 turn now, not 2, but with my plan this shouldn’t be a problem>:)

Action I: [Inform the KotC about the existence of the Ocelomeh.]

Action II: [We offer to the KotC to help him] Montezuma’s plotted a scheme. He offered to Kaajal (yes, that’s the name of the KotC now:D Of course you can change it if you want) to help him in his conquest against those “brutes” in hopes that can bring the two nations together. He explains that his army will follow proudly behind and nothing will be demanded in exchange (except of course the absolute and utter destruction that will follow…).

Action III: [Send some supplies to Nahuatl] (Finish Quest)

Action IV: [Recruit around ~100 archers from Nahuatl]

Action V: [Research Catapults] (might come in handy soon) (I also use my scholars for that, because they’re smart)

Action VI (That one is really so risky, Montezuma has lost his mind:D): [Send a messager to Ocelomeh] Montezuma sent a messager during the night to the city of Ocelomeh. The messager had to warn the King of the mighty nation to prepare all his defenses, because a big army is coming towards him. The messager was ordered to stay in Ocelomeh and await Montezuma to pick him up.

New population CSV, with a total population of 551. Some traders have specialized to become missionaries, and traders/missionaries now take advantage of Uharte’s ports by primarily residing there. I don’t think the numbers quite add up, so if the 521 figure was correct rather than the 240 more figure, discard 10 traders and 20 missionaries:

,Farmer,Fisherman,Trader,Missionary,Scholar,Soldier
Berpizte,185,25,0,0,20,45
Uharte,40,75,90,50,6,15

Action: The people of Berpizte build a road system from the eastern mountains to the western mountains. The traders, missionaries and scholars of Uharte head east, trade metallurgy for some sort of societal advance (I’m angling for laws), and spread Iragarmen if they can. The remaining people of Uharte build up their defense infrastructure.

Story

The conquest has begun, as the Bananrama capital is toppled and the road to destruction is being paved. In the Americas, a war of deception is being played, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Volume 2: Diffusion
Round 56 - 300 BC

Phoenicia

Leader: Tekis

Actions: [78 (26 farmers, scientists)] Cheese, [67 (41 builders…)] Temple, [69] New village
Result: 20/20! -6 +3 = 17/20, 10/20 -6 +1 = 5/20, 20/20! -6 = 14/20
Sometimes, one can turn a sour situation into a tasty treat. This happened with a shipment of goat milk, which spent too much time out in the shade of the sailboats while travelling between different trade destinations and spoiled. This didn’t stop one particularly famished crewman from guzzling down the jar, before spitting out the chunky mixture. The man wasn’t sick from the stuff, which didn’t even taste bitter, rather salty instead. This cheese was quickly adopted in Phoneicia’s diet, and it increased population slightly.

To honour the elementals the Phoenicians hold very dearly in their hearts, the builders were tasked to construct a large structure suitable for worship. They get to work, tirelessly building and designing a great temple, and when it was finally complete, disaster was soon to follow. One night, someone was awakened by the smell of smoke, which they traced back to the temple, which was set ablaze! When the fire was finally put out, there was nothing left but smoldering remains. The only clue left about the perpetrators’ motives was a small note saying that nothing could be built that would reflect the greatness of the elementals, and that all attempts to do so would be heretical and be met with violent repercussions and swift justice. It seems there is a small cult within the Phoencians. Perhaps it’s worth investigating?

Carthage is situated very far away from the main Phoenician empire, which reduces stability. However, its location means it can expand trade routes to places farther away, which makes up for that decrease in stability. The foundations of this village also open up new space for people to move in, increasing population.

Also, you were visited by the people of Etxe. They came to trade, granting you bronze armour in exchange for your system of laws. While there, they also preached about their religion and managed to persuade 40 of your people to leave with them (This was the only way I could make the exchange adequate and fair). This obviously soured your relations more than anything. Bronze armour grants +3 to combat rolls.

The Persians are growing tired of your lack of response, and give you one more turn to decide before they take you over forcibly.

Hellenes children need a proper education to become the best citizens, so to make sure every child had the same education, you ordered the construction of academies, where kids will be sent to learn how to read and write, as well as learn about the sciences and train. Academies help form better and smarter citizens, which helps form the scientists who research, giving you +3 to tech research rolls.

You send an expedition to form a new settlement in the Eastern Italian shores. While building the foundation, they found a small village already settled there. They persuade the people to join the Hellenes, and expand the village, increasing your population and granting you an extra global action. You may name the village.

To help combat criminality, the government put in place a rigid code of law, which defines the punishments for each crime, ranging from fines to death. This new code of law helps lowering the crime rate.

You decide to go visit Britannia once again, but this time for trade. When you arrived, you decided to trade your cattle for their horses. They accepted, and you came back with a new mount.

When your workers end up with excess goods, they usually store them wherever they want, and those goods can sometimes get lost or spoil. You decide to combat that by building a structure dedicated to housing excess goods. This new warehouse helps organisation and distribution of food and other goods, which increases population.

Your soldiers come up with a different formation, this time being a more defensive type. The testudo isn’t very effective offensively, but it’s very useful to boost your defenses, granting -2 to opponents’ combat rolls.

Your people find no viable improvement for their current houses.

You currently have 689 jobless people.

While schools at first might have been hated by the old generation, the new generation found great wisdom in giving the same education to all the children, so they were very enthusiastic about it. Schools help form intelligent villagers who can help with research, granting +3 to research rolls, and as a bonus, these new schools attract the attention of the Celts, another inhabitant of the British Isles. The Celts are very druidistic and concentrate a lot on spiritualism. They really like your ideas of standard education and even send some of their people there to be instructed, which increases your population.

Managing 3 villages at once can become a strain on internal stability, which is why king Arthur has decided to delegate some of his power to the different provinces, so that they can regain stability. This Royal Federation, as it is presented, separates the land into three different provinces, each ruled by a lord, then separated into the different villages, each ruled by a mayor. This system releases some strain from the central government and allows further expansion without the risk of collapse.

To cope with the increase in food demands, your farmers implement permanent farms, which produce food every turn, increasing population every turn, as long as one group of farmers is taking care of it. It starts off at 40 population.

You improve your mathematics once again, this time by introducing numeric characters (I tried to research what that implied but I couldn’t find anything, so I’ll just give it +3 for now. If it’s early algebra, that’s as far as you can go right now, since the development time in between each improvement is too small to keep going)

While trying to find ways to improve transportation beyond horses, your engineers discovered wheels. Wheels on their own aren’t very useful, but they are a necessary component for a lot of technology, making them essential to have.

Also, you were visited by the Hellenes. They traded their cattle for your horses. You now have a new source of food, which increases your population.

You will have hunting dogs in one more turn.

Your people successfully create a pathway between the two mountains. I am unsure of what the benefits of such a pathway can bring to the game, so feel free to suggest one. The closest thing I can come up with is that this can be used as a trade route between the Hellenes and Este. Is that good?

You send your traders and missionaries East to trade with the Phoenicians. It was a short and uneventful journey there. When you arrived, you traded bronze armour (closest I found for metallurgy) for their judiciary system. While there, you also preached about Iragamen, and managed to persuade 40 people from Phoenicia to join. This hinders your reputation slightly with the Phoencians, but it’s nothing you can’t make up for. On the way back, you also managed to convert a small island nation to join you as well, increasing your population.

To build up your defenses, you decide to upgrade your walls, building them out of stone rather than wood. Stone walls grant -2 instead of -1 to attackers’ combat rolls.

Bananarama

Leader: Barando

Actions: [Global] Government, [Global] Take over the village
Result: 6/20 +5 = 11/20, 15/20
While under siege, it gives Barando a lot more time to think. He establishes a new government, a monarchy with a royal family which starts with his father, Zen’Zon. Governments are great to organise tech research, granting +2 in that field. The palace now grants +3 to research rolls since you established a government.

The raiding party present in the Muppan village take over, making it now Bananarama territory. The people there are assimilated, but the distance between this village and the capital reduces stability. Nevertheless, you gained a third global action.

Alas, your preemptive strike was met with retaliation from your aggressors with power tenfold yours. Catapults were fired, arrows were discharged, and lots of yelling ensued. The full charge decimated your troops, leaving 26 dead and only 5 remaining. Unfortunately, that is not enough for your people to keep on fighting, so you have forcefully yielded and your village is now in control of the Mongols. What they do with the village is up to you two to negotiate, but in the end, Kada Khan makes the final decision.

The defeat at Musa Sapientum Fixa was not the only thing on the Mongols’ minds, as they attacked your fields next. They killed 3 of your farmers who tried to fend them off, then proceeded to burn your crops, creating a famine. You will now starve in 4 turns unless you find a solution. You are NOT besieged yet, so you can still move around freely. Also, this famine only concerns LOSERVILLE, not your other village.

You now have 2 global actions.

All this commotion reduced your stability yet again.

Action: [Global] Iron, [Global] Windmill, [Global] Watchtowers, [Global] Better houses, [Global] Parchment, [Global] Better fishing
Result: 16/20, 17/20 +3 = 20/20!, 15/20 +3 = 18/20, 13/20 +3 = 16/20, 3/20 +11 = 14/20, 11/20 +11 = 20/20!
It was time to improve your metalworking skills by introducing a new and more powerful metal into your skillset, excluding titanium of course. Iron is more durable and tougher than bronze, making it more valuable.

Millstones were great on their own, but they still had to be activated by hand. Then, the idea of automating it came to mind when you were reminded of how sailboats can move with wind power. You use this knowledge to build windmills, which can power the millstones automatically, crushing grain at a much faster pace and increasing food production, which increases your population. As a bonus, these windmills are also great for other uses, such as powering furnaces, which grants guaranteed success for smelting rolls.

You learn from your mistakes, building watchtowers at a smaller scale so that they can’t be seen from afar. Finished, these watchtowers make invasions tougher, granting -2 to combat rolls from any opponent who attacks you. And if you use them, maybe you’ll find these bandits who’ve been attacking…

You try to upgrade your log cabins into something more appropriate, since your nation is growing so fast. You build your houses out of a combination of stone bricks and wood planks to create cottages (I can’t think of a different name lol), which are more spacious and can accommodate more people, raising your population.

Writing was a great invention, but finding a proper material to write on was hard. Usually, tanned hides were the most widespread, but they weren’t the easiest to write with. Instead, using softened tree bark pressed together, you create parchment, which makes writing easier, granting +3 instead of +2 to research rolls.

To fish better, perhaps you had to find better fish? That was the reasoning behind upgrading boats so that they can go further out at sea, to catch better fish. These vessels have a lot more space and can in turn collect a lot more fish, which increases population. They also grant +3 to sailing rolls.

Result: 19/20 -8 +2 = 13/20, 19/20 -8 = 11/20, 18/20 -8 +2 = 12/20, 17/20 -8 = 9/20, 17/20 -8 +10 = 19/20, 10/20 -8 +2 = 4/20, 17/20 -8 +10 = 19/20
You finally reveal the location of this “barbaric” nation you’ve been preparing so long to fight, revealing the location of Texcoco, the Ocelomeh capital. Kaajal thanks you for helping him, and faithful to his promise, he becomes your ally.

Loyal as you are, you decide to tell the Coyotl that you will help them fight, mobilising your army at their gate and ready to march. Fully trusting you, the Coyotl allow this and make no remark to it. This will grant a +3 to your initial attack.

You send some supplies to the people of Nahuatl, sacrificing your granary for one turn, completing your quest. The Nahuatl are eternally grateful, vowing to help you whenever you need it.

Unfortunately, once you followed that with demanding one hundred of their troops, the Nahuatl had to refuse, as they were still recovering from their drought.

On a brighter note, your engineers replicated the Coyotl catapults and made their own, which grant +2 to combat rolls or +5 of they’re targeted towards infrastructure.

It was a gamble to send your carriers on a quest to deliver the bad news to the Ocelomeh. Unfortunately, they didn’t arrive and died of exhaustion, unbeknownst to you.

To minimise soldier casualties, you research into ways of defending yourselves from injuries. You make bronze shields, which grant +3 to combat rolls.

You have one more turn to establish a trade route with the Ocelomeh, the same turn which the Coyotl will attack them by surprise. There is a possibility for one last attempt to at least warn them that the attack is coming.

You attack Musa Sapientum Fixa by full force. Your archers use their flaming arrows to burn down the catapult-mounted walls, while your chariot riders ride around, picking off soldiers as they go. The Bananarama’s strong point was really their infantry, so the ranged attack really crippled them. 26 of their people died, leaving only five alive. On your hand, you only suffered 3 casualties, from the initial bombardment of the catapults before they were brought down. The village is now yours to claim, weather by reaching an agreement or by force.

After the fight, you sent your army over to your next target, Bananaraman farms. You cut down any farmer who opposed, leaving those who were wise enough to run away without confrontation. You raided any crops you could harvest, before burning it all to the ground. This will create a famine for LOSERVILLE, as farms were the main food source. You also gathered more food for potential sieges, bringing it up to 10 turns without needing to resupply.

Back at home, you reach a deal with Kugelland, creating a trade route, the main export being horses and the import being silk. This trade route strengthens your relations with them.

When you initially traded for the Kugelland Lanterns, you were intrigued with the way they worked. Your first thought was wondering if one could use this device to step off the earth and master the sky. So, work was now underway to try and make a design big enough to carry humans. (It’ll take more than one turn since it’s a pretty significant invention)

You send an expedition over to Kugelland in search for new wares to trade for. You are intrigued by their flying lanterns and decided to trade your knowledge of fishing for it.

You decide to improve your weapons once again, focusing this time on your ranged weapons. You make the longbow, a stronger and more accurate bow, granting +1 to combat rolls. As a bonus, you make arrows with iron tips, which upgrade the bow, granting +3 instead of +1.

Spider silk on its own was very pretty, but without a proper way to weave it, it was useless. That is why you came up with looms, which are used to weave the silk into silk fabric, which is much more valuable and can be used to create clothing and other things.

In our universe, Roman concrete was formed in Rome, but here, a more appropriate term would be German concrete, but to keep things consistent, we’ll use the real-life name. In search of making a tougher building substance, your researchers mixed various components together and tested their strength. One mixture stuck out, that being of lime and volcanic rock. Roman concrete is useful to build sturdy structures that will stand the test of time.

Your soldiers develop better weapons so they can have a higher advantage on the battlefield. They forge iron weapons, which grant +4 to combat rolls.

You send your explorers West, past the former Laestrygonia to try and find any civilizations. You were surprised when you found a Bananaraman colony out in Europe. They seemed tired, like they were recently fighting. They were ambivalent to your presence.

You were always intrigued by the honeybee, especially by its honey. You went as far as trying to tame it, which you did successfully by creating artificial hives in which honeybees can nest. You then gassed them with smoke (which you discovered had a calming effect on them) and collected their honey when it was ready. Honeybees are great for farming since they can pollinate the plants and increase yieldings, increasing population.

Also, you were visited by the Mongols. They established a trade route with you, trading their horses for your unwoven silk.

You were also visited by the Hollow Sandpeople, who traded their fishing for your lanterns, increasing your population.

Disaster is upon you! While trying to improve your houses using your new Roman concrete, you felt the ground shaking, indicating an earthquake! This one was particularly powerful, and the results will be displayed in the disaster roll below.

You soldiers do another tour, renewing the timer.

Disaster roll: 11/20 (1-5 = total annihilation, 6-15 = destructive, 16-20 = all’s well)
Some of your houses are crushed by the rumbling and collapse, killing 16 people.

You are now officially a civilization.
