@yp364 you have 2 more days to post your actions. If you don’t post, since it’ll be the 3rd time, your civ will be frozen in time, like Pentaphon’s civ.

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.

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.

You implement basic laws, which help reduce the crime rate.

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 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.

For years, the Kugelland Germans have suffered the wrath of the gods. When the earth opened and tried to swallow us, we managed to survive. When a strange disease ravaged through our lands and killed many of us, we managed to survive. And now, when the plague has been erradicated, we discovered Gewürzland, and Nienstadtburg was established. Our population has doubled since the plague ended, and we discovered the secrets of a strange powder. The golden age of Kugelland has started. -Adalald Adalheidis

The great emperor of Mongolia has had a vision. Yargoyin showed him and abandoned village, far away, farther away than even the Egyptian province. Consulting his priests, he realizes this is a calling. He sends men to discover this strange village. (this is an action to find the first stage’s village.)

Kugelland is the next contender in the ever-expanding federation of Federacia, as tensions escalate between this nation and Mongolia, due to the controversial acquisition of China. Meanwhile, Phoenicia is still being raided by Persia and Hollow Sand really wants dodos to remain alive.

You study the dodos, observing their eating habits and habitat. You discovered that they’re very oblivious to your people because of a lack of predators. They like to eat berries and swallow rocks to help crush the berries, and they lay their eggs in nests. These nests have been the targets of some rats that had made their way aboard your ship, eating the eggs.

You interview the Warao about the surroundings and different nations they can find. They tell you about a thick, black substance they use to light their torches sometimes, the abundance of huge trees and varying fauna and flora. They haven’t really met other nations, but they have heard from hunting parties of the mountain empire of the west, as well as a huge lake civilization Northwards, expanding its way South.

You fail to improve your bombs.

You build walls around your villages, which grant -1 to invasion rolls.

You fail to develop your arts further.

You establish a colony on the dodo island, where the settlers use the fertile soil to farm tea and sugarcane.

To combat the rodent problem, you impose the Law of the Bird, which states that the exotic native birds of Dodo Island (Mauritius Island, but you can rename it) shan’t be eaten nor farmed for their eggs. A few rogue settlers here and there have taken quite a liking to the meat, and before long, a small black market centred around dodo farming was formed, but it quickly got busted by the authorities.

Shovels are already accounted for in tools, so you have one extra timebank action.

You didn’t post actions for Phoenicia.

Due to your great relations with Kugelland, after much deliberation, they accepted to join the federation! Since this is a player civ, you’re both granted a federation global action. Due to bridging the gap between Lucania and Britannia, Kugelland raises your stability.

To honour the ancient tradition of Iragarmen from the late Etxe civ, which mysteriously went extinct, you build a museum in Winchester, where most of the Iragarmen followers were. The people there are stoked that you would go out of your way to give them such an immense gift, raising happiness.

Your secret is a success, I’ll explain in more detail in a PM.

You establish Cambridge and Hugh town, which both increase your population.

You farmers maintain the permanent farms, increasing your population.

Also, you were visited by the Saxons, who gave you cats and told you about the existence of Neanderthals North of the mainland.

You repair your city and build a new one.

You develop scopes, which are neat to shoot people from far, granting +2 to combat rolls when used from afar.

After lots of failed attempts, you finally develop anti-siege tactics. By positioning boiling oil pots on walls, you can pour them over sieging adversaries, scalding them, granting -2 to opponent siege rolls.

You develop standard geology, granting +2 to structure rolls, and intermediate chemistry, granting +4 to science rolls.

You develop a watt-style steam engine, which is more effective.

You send your ships over to the fabled New World, in search of civilizations. You land in murky swamplands, where you meet the Tequesta, a very diplomatic tribe. You start off on good terms. (You are in Florida)

You put your steam engine to use in mines, draining them out and fueling the mechanised tools, which help harvest more resources, increasing your population.

Because Kugelland federated and gained new tech, I added your trade as a timebank action so you can rethink your trade deal.

Due to lack of interaction, Semetica forgot about you.

With your knowledge of chemistry, you discover gunpowder, which you can use for lots of neat stuff. One of those neat things is bombs, which grant +2 to combat rolls when used.

You build the grounds of Banampak, a city for the Mayans. Now that you have proven yourself to be powerful, resourceful and useful, the Mayans trust you a lot more. Their final task is as follows: You must bring them a special liquid they describe as “black fire water”. You have 3 turns.

After building the huge city for the Mayans, your builders were too tired to build another city.

You develop sailboats, which grant +2 to sailing rolls.

You establish a trade route with Canada, importing maple syrup and exporting honey.

You pass a speech check to convince Kugelland to give you some knowledge of the Old World. They show you how to build their caravels, which grant +4 to sailing rolls and give you the ability to traverse large bodies of water.

You develop Humanism. Will you use it as a new “religion” or as a science?

Also, you were visited by the Canadians, who traded maple syrup and big houses for biology and mathematics, increasing your population.

You sent a caravan to Gojoseon, a diplomatic civ, offering the gift of elk, sheep and eagles. These exotic animals became a fine addition to Gojoseon’s husbandry and increased your relations. To improve them further, they offer you a quest. They have been plagued for a while now by a seafaring empire from the East, sending skirmishes to raid their small villages. They want those skirmishes to end. They give you 5 turns to solve the conflict.

The Indus are big traders, always willing to trade goods to others. When you offered roads, mail and ports to help expand their trade horizon, they were delighted.

Using your knowledge of physics and smithing, you develop blast furnaces, which you can use to create strong alloys.

You build Machine tools, which can perform precise tasks, so long as they’re fueled by some energy source. They grant +2 to infrastructure rolls.

You fail to establish a new city.

You trade with Persia, giving research hubs and gunpowder for standard chemistry (The trade isn’t as advantageous due to your relations).

You build hospitals, which grant -2 to disease rolls, and a town hall, which grants +3 to research rolls.

You try to convince China to leave Federacia, but they refuse to do so. It’s very stable and offers security, as well as new potential trade partners. Perhaps if the nation was destabilised, they would agree to leave?

You need to have an established trade offer in order to trade, so you have an extra timebank action.

Also, Federacia dismantled your Chinese embassy, decreasing your relations.

With your knowledge of ironsmithing, you develop iron tools, which help with harvesting resources, increasing your population.

After scavenging for so long, your people have learned which plants to avoid and which plants to use to treat different injuries. Using basic medicine, you get -1 to disease rolls and increase your population.

You now have enough population to become a civilization.
