Story

The first intercontinental contact has finally been established! This may mean a new age of exploration and expansion. In other news, the Kugelland plague has finally been eradicated, which is welcome news to everyone.

Result: 17/20, 7/20 +7 = 14/20, 9/20 +7 = 16/20, 15/20 +7 = 20/20!
By boiling sea snails in huge vats, your civilization now has access to very valuable and rare purple dye. It’s sure to make you very rich, provided you find a potential buyer!

To make the merger a little smoother, a new government is put in place, a constitutional monarchy. Being the best of both worlds, you get republic officials elected by the people representing them in parliaments, while being supervised by the Phoenician monarchy. Both provinces’ stability increases.

You improve your ships once again, building them very large with trade in mind, so that you may transport merchandise from place to place. These trade vessels grant +3 to sailing rolls and +2 to trading rolls.

In search of innovation, you study physics, improving it a lot faster than anticipated, granting +2 to research rolls.

Result: 17/20 +7 = 20/20!, 18/20 +7 = 20/20!, 9/20 +7 = 16/20
After a lot more experimentation with the soup, you find the cure for the Kugelland plague. No eating for 3 days gets rid of the disease, so the soup was actually pretty useless. Nonetheless, after one final deathroll, you’ll be rid of the plague and the Plague Busters will be disbanded.

Since basic chemistry is a prerequisite to gunpowder (if it wasn’t for other players, they researched chemistry afterwards so it balances out), you research extensively on chemistry. Standard chemistry grants +3 to science research rolls.

You improve Phoencian trade vessels by adding more sails to them, making them go further. These cargo vessels can even traverse oceans! They grant +4 to sailing rolls and +2 to trade rolls.

You cannot give Kugelland soup, since they do not need it. By the way, timebanks excluded, you have 5 global actions per turn since you federated, because it grants an extra global action along with your different city global actions.

Deathroll: 5/20 -4 = 1/20
The final infected person dies, as the Kugelland plague is finally eradicated.

Your secret is a success. I will explain more in a PM.

Your secret is a success. It grants -4 to you-know-what.

You establish the city of Oxford, increasing your population and granting an extra global action.

Your farmers work on the permanent farms, granting extra population.

Also, you were visited by the people of Tarkahmehd, who traded their walls, shields and catapults for your glass, ranks and microscopes. Bucklers can be used by heavy units and grant +1 to combat rolls, while cannon mounted walls grant -4 to invader rolls. Catapults grant +2 to combat rolls when used or +5 if used against infrastructure. However, since you don’t have cannons, these will disappear in 3 turns unless either a trade route is established, supplying you with cannons or you research them yourself.

You were also visited by Kugelland, who offered Roman concrete, which grants +4 to infrastructure rolls, Sewage and hospitals, which both grants -2 to disease rolls and increase population, and Science Hubs, which grant +3 to research rolls, in exchange of mathematics, cartography and linguistics.

You establish sewage systems around the city, which help improve people’s health, granting -2 to potential disease rolls.

You improve your understanding of physics, granting +3 instead of +2 to research rolls.

Using a combination of wood pulp, water and dyes, you make paper. Paper is better than parchments, and while it doesn’t grant any bonuses, it is a prerequisite to other technology.

In the event of an attack, you need to be able to defend yourself. To do that, you develop some defensive tactics, such as shield walls. By using those in battle, you grant -2 to an opponent’s attack roll. Unfortunately, you fail to develop any siege rolls.

You build the city of Larion, increasing your population.

You send a trade expedition to the newly formed kingdom of Britannia, where you trade your walls, bucklers and catapults for glass, microscopes and ranks. Microscopes grant +2 to science rolls while ranks grant +1 to combat rolls. Since Britannia doesn’t have cannons, unless they research cannons themselves or are supplied with cannons via a trade route, The reinforced walls will disappear in 3 turns.

In an effort to improve the fire rate of your guns, you actually design your guns with cylinders, so that you may fire more than one bullet without reloading. These are really useful, granting an additional +1 to combat rolls.

You build workshops for the builders, which grant +3 to infrastructure rolls.

Your secret is a success.

You develop leather, which you can now use for many things.

Disaster roll: 20/20! -3 = 17/20
Oh no! Without any warning, you were once again randomly selected to be targeted by a hurricane! How unlucky. The hurricane ravaged through Acirema, Anawal and Aether, damaging buildings and killing lots of people. Luckily, the cities weren’t destroyed, but reparations will be necessary. In total, 5306 people died from the massive storm. The attack lowered your stability and happiness rating. The cities’ global actions are locked away until they’re repaired. By the way, this isn’t a targeted attack. I rolled a few turns ago the number of turns before another disaster, and it just happens to be now. It’s just an unfortunate series of events.

After saving the Ocelomeh from the Coyotl, they feel they are ready to merge with you into one big kingdom. Since this is unity and not federation, you will absorb the Ocelomeh and Nahuatl, who will be treated like any other Mexican city. You have gained 4 cities and increased your population.

While exploring South, you came across very dense forestry. Braving the treacherous jungles, you come across an interesting civilization, building big pyramids similar to yours, used for sacrifices, similar to yours as well. You got along more or less with the Maya, who, while being distrusting of strangers, shared many qualities similar to yours, lowering their guard a bit.

While exploring the jungle, you were visited by Kugelland. You were startled at first by their different features, but grew to know them after a while.

Your strategists advised you that war with Persia could not continue, as it has already cost too many lives. You negotiate a ceasefire, then draw up a treaty. The Treaty of Babylon dictates that Persia will keep Bataar, but will stop their invasion of Phoenicia in exchange. It also states that your military count cannot surpass 30% of your population until both parties agree to lift the restrictions, i.e. if you become allies. If any of these conditions aren’t met, Persia will attack with its Indus ally. You have until next turn to demilitarize if necessary. Now that the war is over, the people are celebrating, increasing morale. However, since you lost the war in the eyes of your people, your stability remains the same.

You build an embassy in China and Hellenes, which will roll every two turns, starting next turn, and if the roll is over 5, you will increase your relations.

You build sewage and baths, which both grant -2 to disease rolls, and improve the quality of life of people, raising happiness.

You make gears, which may not do anything on their own, but are a prerequisite to other tech.

You make irrigation, which helps farmers grow crops in land where there may not be water, increasing food production and population.

Result: 13/20 +7 = 20/20!, 20/20! +4 = 20/20!, 6/20 +7 = 13/20
You always wondered what was on the other side of the seemingly endless ocean. To answer that question, you packed your caravels full of goods and embarked on a journey across the ocean. Surprisingly, after many days of sailing, you found land! This island is home to the Arawaks and is the location of modern-day Grenada, known as the “Island of Spice”. While exploring the main continent North, you also come across a new powerful civilization, the Mexicans!

You trade with Britannia, offering Roman Concrete, hospitals, science hubs and sewage (how charming) in exchange of intermediate mathematics, cartography and intermediate linguistics (Roman Concrete is the advanced form of masonry). Intermediate mathematics grant +3 to research rolls, while cartography grants +3 to exploration rolls or +2 if it’s a place you’ve already visited, and intermediate linguistics grant +4 to diplomacy rolls.

You develop physics, which grant +1 to research rolls.

Hollow Sand already found the cure, so you have another time bank action.

Due to lack of interaction, the Norse forgot about you.

Leader: Wilhelm Von Wilhelmland

Actions: [Global] Cadet School, [Global] Increase relations with Neaderthals
Result: 11/20, 13/20
You build cadet schools, which are useful to train up-and-coming soldiers in perfecting their combat skills before engaging in combat. This grants +2 to combat rolls.

To forge an alliance with these people, you have to have tier 4 relations with them. To increase your relations, you decide to trade with them, offering cats and hunting dogs for their goats and chickens. Goats can be used for their milk, meat and wool, while chickens can be used for their meat, feathers and eggs, which increases your population and relations with the Neanderthals, who prefer to go nameless for now.

You have enough population to become a civilization.

Story

The age of industrialisation is among us, as the steam engine is finally harnessed by a prosperous civilisation. Exploration is also rampant, as people keep sending their best boats around, looking for new land and exotic wares.

It seems the fate of the Hellenes is shrouded in mystery. There’s really nothing that points to what lead them to disappear overnight. Perhaps they were taken by a volcanic eruption? We’ll never know…

You establish a trade route with Kugelland, trading silk for purple dye, which is sure to bring in wealth and prosperity.

You manage to persuade Britannia to join the Tyrinics, adding another nation to the roster.

You develop basic biology and standard astronomy.

So uh, normally you’d be attacked by Persia, but I don’t feel like doing the roll, so you’re getting attacked next turn. Prepare yourself!

You Send some boats across the ocean in search of new land. You find the Warao in modern-day Venezuela, who greet you nicely.

Thanks to your knowledge of chemistry, you discover gunpowder.

To improve building, you make workshops for your builders, which adds +3 to infrastructure rolls.

By connecting buildings with dirt roads, you get +2 to infrastructure rolls, or +3 to trade rolls with a nation you’ve established a trade route with.

This time, you send your ships East, in search of some islands to colonise. They find a peculiar deserted island inhabited by strange flightless birds, unalerted by your presence. They look like pigeons and eat berries and… rocks? How strange…

Small reminder that you still have 3 timebank actions. They don’t expire, but I’m just reminding you in case you forgot.

You federate with China, which grants you yet another civ to micromanage mwahahaha! You also get their technology and relations. They had established a trade route with the Indus, whom they have good relations with, and have great relations with the Gojoseon civ (Korea).

To improve your relations with Kugelland, you offer stargazing to help them on their explorations, which makes you allies now!

Your secret is a success, it grants +3.

You establish a new city, granting you an extra global action.

Also, I decided that geology grants a bonus to infrastructure rolls.

To manage more complex things, a monarchy is established, which grants +2 to research rolls.

You sail South, looking for nations to trade with. You discover a big empire, presenting themselves as Mexica, who greet you kindly, despite your rude behaviour. Since it’s a 20, you can trade right away. They give you the knowledge of furnaces in exchange for your parchments.

You fail to repair one of the cities, but the other two are restored to their former glory. Only Lilac is still in dire need of repair.

The power of steam is now at your fingertips! With the steam engine, you can build lots of complex machines!

To restore the people’s faith in you, you deploy propaganda posters all over the towns, awakening the patriotism of the people and raising stability and happiness.

By building machine tools, it’s much easier to build things, granting +2 to infrastructure rolls.

You once again fail to develop anti-siege tactics.

You set up a disaster relief programme, which, using stores in the granaries and vacant bunkers, provides food and shelter to those affected by disasters. This grants -2 to natural disasters and increases happiness.

Also, you were visited by Mongolia, who traded their baths, spiders and embassies for physics and tier 2 maths.

To improve your relations with the warring Mayans, you offered your knowledge of ironsmithing and even threw in some iron spears and obsidian swords. The Mayans were grateful, and trusted you enough to send you on a quest. They give you 2 turns to build a city for them so that they may expand.

You build canals, which bring water where there normally isn’t which creates more land suitable for farming and settlement, increasing your population.

You explore to the East until you arrive at the shores of a lake with no end. Is that where Kugelland came from?

To educate the Mexican children, you establish schools, which help raise smart people, granting +2 to research rolls.

Tacho lacked the resources at the time to build more temples, so they’ll make do with pilgrimages to Sola Eclipsa for now.

While the explorers were still there, you hassled them about every detail about the old world. They tell you of an expanding empire of islanders, a coastline titan of a civilisation, mighty beast riding conquerors and a powerful trade mogul. Montezuma is dying to meet all these new civilisations, but until they can cross the vast emptiness that separates them, they will have to wait. Perhaps if you ask nicely, Kugelland will let you hitch a ride on their vessels?

Also, you were visited by the Canadians. They were a bit condescending on your beliefs, but you still greeted them, trading furnaces for their parchments.

You build two new cities and one fortress. While the fortress doesn’t increase your population or add an extra global action, it grants a bonus to defense rolls and can only be inhabited by soldiers.

You establish an intelligence network, which grants -4 to spy rolls of opponents.

You send a trade expedition to Tarkahmehd, trading your knowledge of baths, embassies and some silk spiders for their standard mathematics and physics.

Embassy roll: 17/20
You improve your relations with China, who reveal that they have federated with Britannia, which means you can’t acquire them unless you get them to leave the union. They also reveal their good relations with Indus, whom they have established a trade route with, and have great relations with Gojoseon, the Koreans.

The Treaty of Babylon is rewritten, you get Bataar back in exchange for the resuming of the Persian invasion of Phoenicia.

You establish a colony in the Arawak island, which you can use to expand your sphere of influence and expansion scope.

Once you lifted the quarantine, people were happy to be free again, increasing happiness and stability.

You develop chemistry, which grants +2 to science rolls, and accidentally discover gunpowder as a result. It’s funny how things just seem to happen by chance, wouldn’t you say? :wink:

You mechanise your tools, which helps increase population.

Also, you were visited by Britannia, who offered you their knowledge of stargazing to help with your exploration. Stargazing grants +2 to sailing rolls. You’re now allies.
