Honestly, since the player count is dropping like flies, I think it would be best to let the game rest a little so people don’t get burnt out playing. I’ll post the next round in a few weeks, that should give enough time for everyone to rest and should hopefully reignite interest in the game.
About how much longer do you think the break will continue?
I don’t know, whenever I feel like picking it back up I guess. Especially since school started, I’m gonna be very busy so we’ll see

well, i am guessing that this has sadly died?
For now. I might pick it up later during a holiday or something, but I’m simply too swamped to continue working on this unfortunately.

After much thought (and thanks to @Nover452’s Politismos forum game), I’ve decided to reopen Pandora’s box and take a shot at GMing the Thrive Odyssey again. I think I just got burnt out before, but I feel motivated again and hopefully people will still be interested in continuing. Anyways, here’s Round 64, reworked with the new mechanics.
Story
It’s been a while, hasn’t it. A tonal shift in the universe ripples through the space-time continuum, transporting us to a different timeline where things are eerily similar, but still different. Some tech is revoked or reworked, while others are nerfed, but to get the full effect of these changes, check the entirety of your civ. Good luck explorers, and may you Thrive in this new Odyssey

By the way, one thing I’ve decided to change is the armour system. For now, instead of linear progression, all three armour types (chain, scale, plate) have their ups and downs:
- Chain: Cheap, heavy, good ranged protection, great melee protection, most flexible
- Scale: Cheapest, light, great ranged protection, good melee protection, very rigid
- Plate: Most Expensive, heaviest, best ranged protection, best melee protection, least flexible
Depending on your combat style, it would be more advantageous to choose one type over the others.

Yes the jobs are good. Since you’re at the third development level, jobs are percentage-based and will be dynamically changing in accordance to the resources present, as well as “dead weight” in the form of jobless people.
Trade routes should include the import you are trading with the nation and an export you are giving in exchange.

@Evolution4Weak I hope you don’t mind that I stole your format
and @OmnipotentFNarr my total population is off by 2000. is that because you aren’t counting Egypt?

It really has been a while, but glad to see we are back in bussines! (And with important logistical matter to be solved no less!)
Job Distribution
Total Manpower: 20,000
As of the moment, the Mexican workforce is as it follows:
The agricultural sector is the dominating one, having the astonishing 9,874 men [49,37% of the population] total working on the fertile lands. They deal with, as their name may suggest, crops, honey farms, livestock houses, etc. Most Mexicans outside the capital tend to end up working as farmers.
After the farmers follow the merchants, who have seen rise in their profession ever since contacts have been made with the outside world [Maya; Canada]. 4,653 men [22,815% of the population] have devoted themselves to the art of trade.
Then come the soldiers, 3,000 men.
Builders, 1,000 men.
Miners, 1,000 men.
Capital Militia, 200 men.
Priests, 150 men.
Astronomers, 100 men.
Administrators (of provinces, towns, cities), 75 men.
Scholars, 37 men.
1 - Montezuma.
Action I
Due to a recent shortage of tin - a material much needed for our economy/industry - we have decided to seek help from the outside. Sending diplomats to the Mayans, who we consider close allies of ours, we aim to find out if they know any places that may hold what we seek.
Action II
We send scouts across the valley into yet unclaimed territory to see if it is uninhabited - perhaps expansion of our empire may solve our problems.
Action III
Another possible solution to our problem is trying to find possible tin ore on our own soil. It is time to see if our scholars are worth their salt - they are tasked to use their knowledge and find land which holds tin and report back to the capital if their task is successful.
(A bit of an uninspired turn, for which I apologize, but I promise the next time I’ll try and do something bit more detailed)

Hmm, i wanted to play with religions here, but, i suppose, I’ll do it little later
And my actions, i wrote last round, weren’t described in your message. Can i know, why?
Actually, actions
- Create a new village on other side of mountains. It will be the new region “Baconen” (by Sweden “Bacon bergen” - behind the mountains). Old region - Har ( by “here” on Sweden).
- Create a council of elder, having a power in there region: king and elders → other humans. King has a bigger power of voice in council.
Oh, i suppose, i should create a religion to create the elders and strengthen the position in society? It will wait for the next round, if it’s an action.
I did not actually write a new round, I simply took the previous round and updated it with the new mechanics. That’s why I didn’t write people’s actions.

I’m sorry to let you all down everyone, but I’m going to drop the Thrive Odyssey once again, this time indefinitely.
It was quite a journey, from humble beginnings to massive civilizations, but it’s gotten too big for me to handle. It would take me more than a week to write a single round and I just don’t have that kind of time. It was a nice hobby, but I don’t see myself siphoning that much time out of my busy life, it’s unsustainable. I mean, it’s been more than a month since the last round!
Anyways, this is like my official farewell as GM. It was fun, but it had to end eventually, it just happened sooner rather than later.
If you would like, I can post the unfinished round and someone else might step up and take the torch, as I had when CalvinTheThriveling first designed the game.

This truly was a great journey, perhaps the best experience I’ve ever had with a forum game…
I’d like to say I want to take over for the game, but unfortunately I don’t have much time on my hands as well.
I guess I can work on the wiki for the history of the Thrive Odyssey world, as well as the nations (as long as I can get everyone else’s permission).
