Rolled 11 (1d100)
Nobody is sure how the end came, but they are sure as hell know of what came after it.
This is the post apocalypse, a world where your greatest dreams haunt you and your wildest nightmares will come true.
A world of men and mutants, of Artificial Intelligence and terrible monsters, of good and bad with everything in between, of previous sciences and greed taken to now old and but still perverse heights. Here the dead walk, the living fight, and the gods laugh all the harder.
Now however its a new beginning and here you will lead a civilization. To greatness or ignominy, whether good or evil, for glory or shame that is entirely up to you.
New players are welcomed and even encouraged, old players are appreciated and have our condolences.

Civ Special Abilities Below. Every Civ gets to enjoy one as well as a hero unit. Hybrid Civs at start enjoy having two but at the cost of lower average between them.

When choosing Civ please include HQ option you wish to have for it.
If you lose your HQ without possessing another base its game over.
Feel free to come up with fluff/ideas it may even be used and you may get a bonus out of it too. Hybrids are not allowed unless proper fluff is provided or to break a tie.
After civs are chosen homeground, terrain, and hero will be chosen.
Your civ will receive bonuses when doing stuff within their homeground and a smaller bonus in terrain similar to it.
to get an idea of what goes in what its like this
Civ->HQ->Homeground->Terrain->Region
your civ being within your HQ is inside your Homeground, which is contained within the local terrain, and the terrain is within the Region. You are able to decide everything BUT the region you are in.
Heroic units by the way are VERY strong and when sacrificed count as a fate point kinda. Be aware though while alive they can offer both passive and active bonuses in addition to a guaranteed perspective. Without a hero being present you will only get to enjoy a summary report.
Heroic units are what you can get INSTEAD of fate points.
Every starter civ will start with ONE of the following heroic, special, bad asses, and an elite.
Good luck finding them all except for the hero is revealed for free at start.
Free Hint other units besides hero are based off the faction and any provided fluff. If its good enough it can even produce potential heroes and other special benefits including extra units.

Home is where you make it said the lord. We based our selves in the mountains to give our home a unshakable foundation like our faith. The terrain is plentiful with wood and bountiful hunts. With those the lord has given us a chance living in the harsh time. Although we needed to melt ice for water from the top.
We our leader of our faith keeping the word of god strong. We fight like the sun upon darkness and work to rebuild.
I remember that these take a while because of all the options we need to fill in like homeground terrain, area biome, and then hero choice.

I like this one.
Did you guys know if there's enough votes you can make a hybrid civ type?

>>46511315
Yeah the details take awhile to deal with.
I don't feel up to thinking about ways to counter the draw backs of hybrid civs.
>>46511371
Kek, it's hard enough as is trying to get a straightforward civ to be "perfectly ideal". It's fine though, three years of this stuff has taught me it's never actually going to start perfect.
You gotta make it great in game.

Not sure what to push for in fluff if we can get the hybrid done.
>>46512054
We can push for spreading our faith or attempting to bring our gods back into realitythrough fucked up rituals
Civ Name:Order of the Holy Oracle
Civ Type: Megacorp/Zealot Hybrid
Base: Fortress Monastery (Monastic Castle converted into a Military Base)
Homeground: Mountaintop
Biome: Alpine Mountains with green Valleys
Fluff:
In days of old, the holy Church of the Sun was one of the great faiths of the world, and perhaps the greatest. With a history spanning thousands of years all the way to the great Solar Savior. Under the leadership of the Holy Father who could commune with the Sun itself, we spread the word unto the world
In those days the Church often relied on hired mercenaries and paramilitary for its protection, many of whom originated from the nearby Schweizer mountains. By the time of the fall, the Church had grown to such tremendous size that its security needs had evolved dramatically. Rather than hire mercenaries directly, they established a Mega-corp using the Church's vast funds from tithes and offerings to build their own military forces, through hiring private mercenary and arming them with self produced holy weapons and armaments
But mere decades before the fall, the last of the Holy Father's made a terrible revelation detailing judgement day and the end of the world. So it was that he took one of the mountain strongholds and established the Order of the Oracle, and desired to prepare himself and the Church "a bastion worthy of the end times." Revamping this place into a shelter able to withstand the apocalypse, and "with the means to develop and produce new weapons to fight the very demons of hell itself.". In the final years before the fall it up with the latest production facilities for advanced arms and armaments, and taking with him only those of the fiercest faith
Little else of our history is known after that, or the fate of the last Holy Father. But it is known that we stand, that the sun shines, that our arms are strong, our faith pure, and our means prepared. Like our crusader forefathers, we are prepared to take up arms and spread the faith agai

Rituals cost either magical or psi components. Makeshift ones require resources.
>>46512194
Ka'tal came about with the the creation of the universe from the destruction of the previous one. Ka'tal knowing that history has already been written created the rest of the pantheon so that history would move forward as predicted. The holy monks say that the universe has died already 8 times and the 9th time is due within the next 10 thousand years. When the universe dies the new one is reborn and everyone relives there lives with no conscious memory of the previous cycles. We do have subconscious memories that guide us to or away from actions. The holy books say that the only way to end the cycle and join the gods in there kingdom is to bring them into this plane through the sacrifice of all souls on the planet before the end days. Ka'tal himself is a very dower man who views everything with a detached mentality expect for his only love, Knowledge.

>>46512328
It is also said that the human brain is based of the paths of destiny that Ka'tal wanders and whenever a new discovery or idea comes about is due to Ka'tal reaching a new path he hasn't traveled before

>>46512434
The Most important Goddess of the Astrolyph Pantheon is Schiel the Goddess of Foresight and Sacrifice. Schiel was the third godly entity created by Ka'tal and was destined to be his paramour. Schiel also known as the Goddess of the Antlers or The All seeing occupies all parts of time drifting between conduits that occupy every moment. Schiel is more benevolent then most of the gods and is know to give blessing or visions of the future to those that devote themselves to her and her desires

A group of worshipers decided thousands of years ago that the best way to control the world would be through Corporations so they built up a trade/banking corporation to economically get the world under its thumb. When they had enough of a strangle hold they started the apocalypse in an effort to wipe out all life on earth. But in the chance they didn't succeed they had a force stationed in a mountain sanctuary to cleanse the rest of the earth and make sure that every living thing was killed before the universe ended
