Alright, time for the new Civ I promised. Would have pisted a couple minutes ago, bjxut my internet went wonky.
No Humans or Elves, they belong in the weekly Druid Civ.
>>45578656
Voting for Island Nagas. We can build society both in and out of the water.
Also Bump
>>45578751
+1 havent seen it done before so lets give it a try.
>>45578751
Looks like this is what we are doing. Give me a minute to write.
>>45578656
Mountain Harpy
Myceanea. I never see anything about them
I'll give 5 more minutes for the voting, just to be nice.
>>45578920
I've seen that one done pretty recently. Harpies are overrated anyway.
>>45578751
Following this but jungle instead of island
>>45578985
But Nagas are amphibious. Islands would be amazing for that.
>>45578985
Also I did the compilation, start dumping now
>>45578993
Well a real big lake could be hidden in the deepest part of the jungle as a starting point
Bees
Forest
>>45579045
>>45579045
Diplomacy bonus with Aquatics though. We could be eternal bros with them in and out of the ocean.
>>45579065
>>45579070
>>45578985
Well then I switch my vote to si
>>45579082
My vote to island instead of jungle
Alright, have we decided on what we are and where we live?
>>45579100
We're going with Naga and Island, correct? Someone plz confurm.
>>45579103
It would appear Island Nagas won
Since we're on an island, and I'm looking at OP's image, is it safe to assume that we'll be having some sort of not!Japanese culture?
>>45579070
Diplomacy bonus with Aquatics though
The bonus is with Reptiles, not Aquatics.
>>45579156
If we are going to be nagas, what colors are we or that doesn't matter?
>>45579168
We should have a not!Moai culture.
>>45579103
Maybe the middle ground is a tropical island. Filled with tiki tribes, and aztects, and.. giant orange tigers and.. giant orange tiger tiki aztecians.
>>45579156
Lemme start writing.
>>45579168
Maybe. If you guys want that. >>45579172
We still get the diplomacy bonus once we meet them.
>>45579177
Shoot, you guys can decide the colors. Be kind of cool. For story reasons, please make Males and Females different colors.
>>45579203
Dark green for males, and cyan for females.
>>45579172
Aquatics have Reptilian Descent. They count
>>45579177
>>45579203
How about Green Naga males and Blue Females?
>>45579203
I vote for hues of blues for males and hues of green for females.
>>45579220
>>45579226
>>45579232
green males, blue/cyan females
>>45579220
ayyy good taste
>>45579203
Let's not be Not!Japan. Don't want to attract weebs. I like >>45579177's suggestion for Maori culture.
>>45579249
Changed my vote for this.
>>45579250
We could be like Polynesians! Experts at deep water travel and able to colonize far-away islands relatively peacefully.
Alright, Island Nagas won.
For as long as your kind can remember, you have lived and spawned on the island you call home. The females of the clan have always been able to use some sort of innate chaos magic, whilst the males of the clan were almost always born with four arms, and grand staures, securing them as the grand warrior class of your clan.
The sclaes of the males are a grand Dark Green, whilst the scales of the females are a beauteous cyan.
We currently have:
>100 Males
>100 Females
>50 Eggs
>Simple huts
>A designated spawning pool, guarded by 20 Males and 15 Females.
>Plentiful amount of fish, no fear of hunger currently.
>What do we do now?

Because I genuinely don't know most of the ones you guys are talking about, can you describe them to me? I'd like to be somewhat accurate when I describe them.
>>45579413
I knew you would show up.
No. At least, not yet.
Rolled 46 (1d100)
>>45579417
I say we should be industrious Nagas. Masters of trade and sea
>>45579417
Aggressive.
Not starting fights with everyone they meet, but easily insulted and quick to action against perceived slights.
>>45579417
I support a sort of early Polynesian flavor, with a heavy focus on Exploration, Trade, and Expansion into uninhabited territory. Obviously this means we'll need a strong military for when others don't agree with our oceanic Zerg Rush.
>>45579413
We don't have Tools yet.
>>45579455
this. spartan nagas! but somewhat civilized and not too xenophobic.
we should explore our island and the surrounding waters
>>45579455
I would disagree. I do support a very strong military, but for intimidation and security more than for aggression.
Alright, I'll post again in about 5 minutes and wait for you all to agree on something/most popular vote.
>>45579519
i would put that as being aggressive, but i think he meant not dominating or invading everyone willy-nilly.
like, we can be reasoned with, but if you threaten or piss us off we'll kick your ass.
>>45579417
Savage, superstitious, spiritual, highly territorial, easy to trigger (at least the males, brute force is what they're born for), while the females often see leadership and religious roles. The males value honor and loyalty above life, and the females are pretty much born for politics with their silver tongues. But together they bring a balanced perspective in foreign matters, using words to deceive but also being loyal to a fault with those they strike a pact.
>>45579559
This.
That's what I meant.
>>45579559
Yeah, I can see that. We can build a huge empire just by virtue of being able to occupy underwater territory other races don't have access to.
>>45579562
I like where you're going, but superstition and savagery are a good way to get stomped when higher-tech Civs find us.
>>45579603
You can shake out of it in time, or turn it into an organized religion. Shouldn't sacrifice culture for meta
>>45579562
i like it, but also agree with >>45579603 about superstitious savagery. maybe we could start out like that and slowly move away from it as we learn more about the world.
So does anyone actually disagree with expansion/exploration/trade focus with military to back it up?
>>45579562
I like this.
>>45579658
expansion, but not at the expense of other races (unless they piss us off).
exploration and trade, yes.
strong military, yes.
>>45579726
I agree wholeheartedly.
Alright, I'm going to start writing now, it seems like the most popular action was exploring, correct?
>>45579742
yep
>>45579403
>>45579394
Why you guys have crap rolls again? I feel like just combining both of these, but oh well.
A scouting party is sent to explore the surrounding areas of the island, consisting of 4 males and a female. While exploring they find a den of what appear to be some sort of large felinid creatures, whose pelts are orange and black. They are known as "Tigers" and are quite dangerous. This den is remarkably close to the clan, and more importantly, the spawning pool.
What do they do?
>Try to kill them all, protect the clan.
>Warn the clan, and request additional forces
>Take them on and try to capture the kittens.
>Leave them be.
>Other.
Remember to roll a 1d100.

Tigers won't be able to accompany us to other islands unless we build equipment specifically for them. They're a threat that can't feasibly be dealt with as well as we did the wolves in the Druid thread.
Rolled 37 (1d100)

we dont have to take them with us. leave them as pets on that island, or we could trade them later.
Rolled 18 (1d20)
>>45579981
Trading them is actually a really good point. We could breed and sell tigers. Alright. I retract my suggestion >>45579931
Rolling to back >>45579915, since he rolled first.
>>45580033
Looks like this won. Gimme a min to write.
>>45579915
>>45580033
82+18=90. Awesome.
One of the males in the scouting party gets an idea, his idea is to take on the tigers, and capture the kittens. The female believes this to be a reasonable idea, and allows it. The males then rush at the fully grown tigers, while the female takes the kittens with her, whilst keeping an eye on the male whom suggested the idea.
This male, then decides that he would prove his strength to the female, knowing she was keeping her eye on him, and then grapples the largest tiger of the group, and then repeatedly pummels it with two arms, wrestling it with his other two. He recieves a nice, long scar down the side of his face for his troubles. But still, he won!
>Gained:

How big is our island?
Rolled 90 (1d100)
>>45580180
Explore some more
>>45580180
i think you should just take all 1d100 and use the average of all that voted for the same thing or it's gonna end up being too easy and uninteresting.
or if something gets a good roll we could just not roll any more so we dont risk reducing the average.
>explore more
>>45580240
Fairly large, the clan could live there comfortably without population/space issues for a long time.
>>45580254
Conversely, if there's a bad roll we would be able to just dilute the bad result with more rolls. I would suggest the average of the first 4 rolls for the same thing, assuming four people roll for it.
>>45580254
Meh, I'll just take the first roll.
Example
>Anon 1 rolls a 40 gets backed with a 5
>Anon 2 rolls a 70, gets backed with a 12
>Both Anons rolled for the same idea, Anon 1's roll and back is used.
Rolled 11 (1d20)
>>45580291
That works. Also backing >>45580211.
Also also is the clan on the coast? i feel like that's an important distinction to make.
>>45580278
yeah, this feels like the best solution (or first 3 rolls, depending on how many people we have)
>>45580291
yeah and then a below average roll gets 4 backers and end up being a great success either way just like every time in the thread yesterday and be boring as fuck
>>45580323
Only the first backing counts toward a roll
>>45580316
Aye, we are about a 15 minute's distance from the coast, with the spawning pool slightly inland.
>>45580323
Nah man, only 1 1d20 back per action, but the most supported roll is the one used.
>>45580352
>>45580366
oh, i guess that works ok
>>45579250
Kay. I suggested that because the fact that not all Naga can use magic sets it up some sort of political system were a small group holds most of the power
>>45580433
Now it's split by gender, which oddly enough seems better for our society.
Lets get some simple weapons next since I don't think the tiger are gonna be too friendly to people who stole their children
>>45580497
I thought the adult tigers were dead?
>>45580211
>>45580316
90+11=101. This thread's beginning is like the opposite of the Druid civ's beginning. Maybe tons of low rolls later on?
The scouting party is then ordered to scout more of the area, to the scarred male's enjoyment. They then head to the coast and go around the island, when they notice some sort of other scaled creatures scouting out the beach. The beach that belongs to the Clan. They then approach the scaled creatures whom then introduce themselves as the Aquatics, and are happy to see that they are not alone on the island, and state that they would like to form an alliance and band together to help eachother.
The female of the scouting party ponders on what to do.
What now?
>Accept the offer
>Return to the clan, and discuss it with the rest.
>Attack them/Take them prisoner
>Other.
>>45580497

>>45580579
Let's not.
>>45580592
In that case, backing >>45580573
>>45580613
The first thing they suggested was to form an alliance. We can spin this the way the Druids merged with the Elves, especially becuase Aquatics are good with Tech, and Nagas are good with Magic. Plus we get a diplo bonus with them, so my roll probably wasn't that bad.
>>45580618
Writing, gimme a sec. Also, Reptilian descent bonus as well.
>>45580557
So, since this roll was for taking them back home with us, and not necessarily to talk diplomacy right now, does this mean we get lost on our way home?
>>45580665
yes but we still should not take them back to our camp the first thing we do... we should be cautious
>>45580714
Well how else would we find them again except by accident? We don't know where they're from, and they would probably be just as cautious of us going to their home. We can take the first step in diplomatic relations, and if it goes far enough south that our home becomes endangered, Naga>Aquatic in combat.
>>45580573
>>45580618
37+9+10=56. It's not bad, but it's not super good
The Female of the scouting party suggests that they come with them to discuss the alliance, however, the Aquatics do not like this, as they feel that it could possibly be a trap. They say that they could meet with them here, and bring their leader, King Redscale, to discuss the alliance, if this was agreeable.
The scouting party accepts these terms, and returns to the Clan to bring a diplomatic party and the leader of the Clan to discuss the alliance.
Who is our leader?
>A grand and beautiful Female, who gained the position from her golden tongue, beauty, and startling control over her magic.
>A Wise and powerful Male, whom although is without magic, is able to lead effectively and just.
>The Manly Man Naga himself! He was the leader the whole time! This explains his extreme strength and bravado in the face of danger, for what kind of leader would he be if he could not go out among his people?
>Choose one and give them a name.
>No roll needed, only popular consensus.
>>45580800
like i said before, tell them to come back to the beach the next day
>>45580832
I say that our ruler should be a king and queen to represent both halfs of the tribe
>>45580832
>A grand and beautiful Female, who gained the position from her golden tongue
>>45580866
nah, males are brutes. females are the smart ones.
>>45580832
>>A grand and beautiful Female, who gained the position from her golden tongue, beauty, and startling control over her magic.
Manly Man can either be our General, or a Hero Unit.
Female has say over most of the clans well being, but all matters pertaining to Military are controlled by the highest military leader.
>>45580849
Agreed. The female could deal with diplomacy/politics while the male deals with matters of survival/conflict, and having equal representation in leadership should minimize civil unrest.
>>45580832
>thinking up names
The part I hate most of any game/story.
>>45580866
I'll allow this, should it be popular enough.
>>45580832
The Manly Naga for military and the Beautiful Female for diplomacy
>>45580910
Aye.Which is why I'm havig you guys do it.[/spoiler.
Also, keep forgetting to change my name.
>>45580947
i rather have a wise male as the second half of the council than some macho guy
>>45580973why not use both
>>45580866
>>45580890
We could combine these. I like the idea of both halves sharing power. Backing these without rolling
>>45580903
Decent point about civil unrest, this decision will be very important for the rest of this Civ.
>>45580880
Males aren't necessarily brutes, just very good at combat and bad with Magic. They can be just as skilled as leaders as anyone.
>>45580990
good point. i change my vote to 1 male 1 female. the wise male and silver tounge female.
>>45580832
>A grand and beautiful Female, who gained the position from her golden tongue, beauty, and startling control over her magic.
Alipheese, an inherited name for the position. Cause she's the only naga I can think of at the moment aside from Mia and no one has suggested anything else.
>>45580990
Originally, I put Manly Man as a joke character. But I love him too much to not use him.
Manly Man can be head of military affairs/King
The Female can be Diplomatic stuff and such/Queen.
And you are correct, not once did I say that the males could not be good leaders. Good on you!
So are we agreed on this?
>>45581027
I like that you're the only one who actually put up a name. It's now canon.
We just need a name for Manly Man now.
>>45581051
I like it.
>>45581051
Does Manly Man have the wisdom necessary to be a good leader? Because if we can say he does, then I'm all for having him as leader.
>>45581084
Randy Savage
>>45581084
How about Tino? It's Maori for Chief
>>45581097
"Macho Man" Randy Savage
Macho Man is the position's title.
>>45581116
Also easier to take seriously than Randy Savage
>>45581086
We can say that he's good when it comes to fighting and planning, but he leaves the more fragile matters to Alipheese.He's also a skirt-chaser, as seen earlier.
>>45581097
You. I like you.
>>45581118
This is awesome.
>>45581116
I like this. But unless this is backed, it looks like Randy Savage is our Macho Man.
>>45581116
Seconding this.
>>45581084

>>45581143
>not taking Randy Savage seriously

>>45581147
Alright, so Tino is the Manly Man Naga's name and Alipheese is the name of our Queen.
Looks like we have a monarchy!
>>45581147
You set me up with a "wrestler" who is a macho man
Okay, are we agreeing on Randy Savage, or Tino?

Macho Man - He's definition of it
Randy - sexually aroused or excited; Always hitting on the ladies
Savage - Always brutal in a fight
>>45581192
Alright, we're going with Tino. Lemme start writing.
>>45581258
The next leader should definitely be Macho Man Randy Savage though, assuming we don't have immortal leadership like Ohran
>>45581027
>>45581116
The Manly Man Naga from the scouting party tells the Aquatics that he is fine with meeting them here, as he is Tino, King of the Nagas, and tells them that he shall wait here and send his scouts back to retrieve his Queen, Alipheese, to discuss the alliance on this neutral ground.
The Aquatics look pleased by this answer, and about an hour later, both King Redscale and Queen Alipheese arrive.
The Alliance is discussed without problem, and an agreement is struck. The Aquatics will use their knowledge and combine it with the Naga's magic to make a worthy and respectable force.

Tino and Alipheese discuss what must be done next in order to further the Naga civilization, and crafting simple tools is a must. The Males set out to start crafting all sorts of useful tools, from farming implements, to mining tools, and set out to work.

The Males set out to begin farming and clearing areas for farmwork. They expect a large of amount of crops when they are ready to be harvested.
Another group of males begin work constructing a mine, and work hard tunneling into the natural caves among the coast.
Out of the hatchlings 19 Females are born, with the rest being male. The Females are sent to a nursery to be taught and versed in magic, whilst the Males are sent to be trained by a one if the stronger Males among the Clan.
>>45581909

Surely we'll get a good roll for this!
we need to build more housing to accomodate the new population

40+12=52. Not bad but not good.
The Females express their desire for more reinforced and comfortable shelters. The Males begin work on it right away, lashing together leaves and branches to reinforce the hits, as well as carving out smooth, wooden floors. This takes quite some time, but at least the huts can be called communal houses now.

What now?

Sorry if it seems like there aren't enough choices, or if the quality seems worse. I'm not feeling as good as earlier.

Let's see if the Aquatics have anything to share with us. We didn't keep enough correspondence with the gnomes in the Druid thread. Let's not make the same mistake twice.

90+12=102. Fantastic results.
Queen Aliphees and some of the more powerful females begin expiramenting with magic, seeing just what could happen, when all of a sudden, a strange magical mist appears, causing the participating females to feel renuvenated and relaxed! Further testing proves the same results on the males and hatchlings as well.
>Calming Mist spell is developed, heals and relaxes those in the area.
>>45582966
Nice. Continued or are more actions in order?
>>45583009
Meh, pretty much the same actions, I'm just feeling tired right now. Aparently I've got a bad fever is why I'm feeling sick.
