Action: Research boats.
make a farm on the nile river.
Yay, a new turn! I also would like to change my name for the next turn to Montezuma.
Action: Research āTheocracyā
Global Action: scout the area
Is research and action separate;
action: domesticate goats.
Research horse domestication and riding.
around this time horses would be small, and riding them would be hard, domestication means that theyāll be used as food.
I know. I can still domesticate and herd the though.
No, research counts as an action. You can split up your actions among your people if you want to do multiple things in the same turn, but global action is the most effective.
I changed my mind. My leaderās name should be William Luxford.
Also, when we research on a specific technology, do we get the upgrade from it in the same turn or do we have to upgrade in the next turn?
It is essentially an action. You would get it next turn.
Iām still thinking about my leaderās name. I want to use an old English last name that fits the title of a British monarch. I originally wanted to use Windsor, but it sounded too modern. There was also Thorn, but it sounded too āwarrior-ishā. What do you guys think about Luxford? Does it sound like a British kingās name from ancient times?
How ancient are we talking? It sounds like a modern British name, but it could be early modern or late medieval too. Go back far enough and you start seeing names like Ćlfweard.
Since everyoneās picking a ruler name, Iāll go with Crius.
Sorry @OmnipotentFNarr, but my final and official leaderās name is Arthur of Londinium.
Sorry for the moment it took me to decide on my leaderās name.
I like it! Distinctly British, unlike those old-timey Anglo names that almost sound more Germanic.
Iāll just keep ripping names from Greek mythology, myself.

Isnāt your civilization french wouldnāt to be more thematic to have names from Celtic tradition;
Also I want my name to change to Tiresias
Are Celtic Old Irish, Germanic, British or French? Iām confusedā¦
To be honest they are all that since all these nationalities are the evolution of the Celtic starting culture
They occupied much of Europe around the time of the Roman empire and a bit before. Modern languages in the Celtic family would include Gaelic and Irish. Celtic cultures were largely displaced; in the French case by the Romans and in the English case by the Germanic Anglo-Saxon invaders.
@yp364 Not quite. Thatās true for the Irish, but the French have more of a Latin romance heritage and the Germans are Germanic. Britain is kind of a long story.
On the names Iām choosing weāre still waaay back in time and in an alternate history, so Celtic stuff is barely more related, and I think picking Greek mythology names gives a heroic ring. I could blend some other names in as we go along. Maybe Basque as itās the last remnant of the language the neolithic farmers spoke.
Edit: Oh wait, youāre Greece. I can change now if you feel like Iām muscling in on your territory.
I have no problem if you use them but it is a problem from a world building perspective.
