Yet Another Cultural Evolution 2.0 II
You are currently reading a thread in /qst/ - Quests
Welcome back to the five or so players who regularly lurk/play this series! Currently it looks like the Island Nation is going full SPQR with colonies n' shit, the Plains Nation got bread and is going mongols n' shit, the Sky Nation is going all dwarves n' shit, and the Lake nation really really want bear pets though they already have a monster pet who's still alive after like 40 years(?).
Updating turns shortly, I'm pretty sure I have everybody. Also, its about time a world event's gonna happen, so don't spam me with your next turn :DD
Oh shit yeah, previous thread
>>147367
Yay! thread is back.
Aww snap its back
I'm hyped
>>163511
Hey bro Long time
>>163515
Yeah, i was in the last one, but i didn't havr many time
Lake nation researches fermentation, but they forgot they already discovered that nearly half a century ago during their first scientific rennaissance! They also research bottlemaking, though it will take them a long time to be able to manipulate molten sand into desirable shapes.
The upkeep for bear domestication cuts into potential population increase, but their sole bear is somewhat comfortable in his cage. Fewer bear incidents have occurred while studying it. It appears that the bear requires a large diet of fish and only fights when provoked. Though Lake nation does not have a patron god, they do have some abilities to speak with natural animals, and who knows, perhaps within the near future they may be able to speak with beasts...
A scout is also sent to the Plains village of Ulan Batur asking to trade for horses. A reply is still pending.
The Island Nation do some real nation building this turn, taking lessons they've learned from the Lake Nation tide mill and applying it to their grains basket in Pompeii. They export the produce from their newly built farms to Winterfell, and as a result Winterfell flourishes in population, at least moreso than in previous years! Winterfell also has more housing to accomodate the expected increase in population.
yo i have returned
>>163680
Great! Got any ideas for future turns
Sky Nation decides to expand closer to the desert in order to spread Sky's domain across multiple regions. They now join the 4 cities club.
They also renovate their communal living caves by laying smooth brick along the interior. Though it makes the caves look smaller, It makes the place really nice to look at.
They also train their elk to draw carriages which they built with wood and wheels! Now they can travel within their nation at much faster paces, improving (if they want) intranational trade and commerce.
>>163713
Im gonna see what we got then we Choose
Rolled 14 (1d100)
>>162575
roller the explorer
>>163714
Idea: Like What about This: Written Language If we have that lets teach it the the children
Or Like
Canals or AqueDucts to get water into our towns
>>163731
Forgot my Name sorry
>>163731
Sure let's do those actions and afterwards let's start producing silk and glass and make a huge cathedral at the top of the mountain
Plains nation also do some hardcore nation building! They expand the number of houses and wheat farms in each village! Since the last diseased of the Necromancer's disease are dying out, the colonies actually have a population increase! It is expected that before the decade is up, Karakorum will have a fully immune plague population.
Everyone sends scouts nearby, but unfortunately due to the lower population and large land they now have, it was difficult locating resources. Perhaps next year, more perceptive scouts will find something?
Next turn is a global event!
>>163771
make up the turn post then.
>>163806
Its Next turn after the turn were making now
>>163782
So we have a turn now and then the event?
Any space in sky nation?
>>163806
Action:Aqueduct bringing water to our cities
Tech: writing
Culture :
All kids are taught to write
>>163835
Yes plenty
>>163835
Sure
Rolled 26 (1d100)
>>163776
1. Rolling for scouting terrains around cities.
2. Build brick walls around cities.
3. Tech create Triple-bow Siege Crossbow
>>163654
Time to get the capital back to 15 people per turn..
Action: export Bread to the capital and build proper labour with stone.
Tech: Steel (learn from neighbours)
Culture: Brothels become legal but there is no contraception. Brothels are celebrated rather than shunned
>>163885
I have a idea
What About Huge Towers In The Capital To Serve as a landmark and A way of being closer to the sky lord
>>163879
Why not make an autopsy to get better comprehension of the human body, have better medicine, and make surgery.
>>163899
Well our city is in a cave so that would be hard
>>163924
First lets get population up. We took a huge hit.
But your idea is gold
>>163929
>Well our city is in a cave so that would be hard
so what about then we cut a hole in the roof and make the tower there
>>163937
Sure. I also wanted to research glass so we could have sky roofs
Event 2: Banditry!
With the increase in population comes the increase of social outcasts from all walks of life! An international conspiracy of bandits 100 strong are disrupting trade routes and travel within the cities of the world! Plains horsemen, Islander legions, Sky lowlanders, even some bored lakemen join the ranks! You don't know where their hideouts are, or who their leader is, if they even have one! You can send people to look for them, though it will cost a turn and is extremely risky! You may never know if a bandit is among your citizens or not either, who knows what they plan to steal...
Under this event, Trade is impossible! Every hideout that is succesfully ousted will reduce the probability of a trade or travel being overcome by bandits! How will the leaders of the known world deal with this menace?
With this new mechanic, lets begin Turn 10!
>>163975
so should we make a Guard or something to combat this?
Maybe we could set up guard patrols around the nation to reduce bandit activity?
>>163987
I'm not here to tell you what you should do, but I'll tell you what you can do, and that you can do.
>>163987
Yep let our actions be scouting for the bandit hideout. Making the punishment tor being a bandit to be pushed out of a cliff and making it so that caravans are always escorted by mounted guards
>>163990
yeah so like
Culture:every town Has A Guard of villagers trained in the art of war
Action:send soldiers to Hunt around the towns for a bandit camp
I think that we should send some dovemen to find any hideout near our cities
Rolled 17 (1d100)
>>163975
ROGUE LEGIONARIES
RUGGGH
Okay
Tech: Do >>163924
Culture: Legionaries on active duty aren't allowed inside cities. They stay in forts outside said cities. The command structure is General, Legate, Centurion, Optio, Standard bearer, Legionary. any misdemeanour is met with corporal punishment carried out by centurions. Death to all traitors and dissenters. Death by crucifixion.
Action: >>164079
>>164087
Shouldn't our soldiers when they aren't fighting should be working on diffrent things needed from walls to trenchs
>Our army could clear a Forrest in a day if we needed them to.
>>163975
We dont trade with anyone so we dont care. Cities are self efficient....
Also we built Walls... SO...
>>164115
Well Legions are great engineers. Once we get aqueducts we can build tons of them. they also build forts where they rest
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>164136
>>164136
Thats Habor not Labour
>>164216
harbor?
>>164265
fuck my life
Its late
Yea harbor :D
Rolled 51 (1d100)
>>164029
Rolling for the search roll.
And adding tech writing to the mix to have 3 actions.
>>164274
OK, choose between harbor and exporting bread
>>164282
Bread
who needs a harbour on a lake
op are you still making up turn posts?
The plains nation was going to make a siege crossbow, but realized they didn't even know how to make a regular crossbow, which requires large resources of wood! Fortunately, scouts realized that not so far from their river settlement in the east was a lush forest! However, they still need to learn the art of woodcutting before they can harvest whole trees. Shouldn't take too long to discover though, as their neighbors have done it for decades! (Before this point plains nation has scavenged fallen branches for their wood)
They also build brick walls around each of their cities. It will take at least a decade before construction of the walls of an appropriate height and width are built.
The Island nation attempts to export bread to feed their capital and increase population, but they fail the bandit check of 10 from a 1d10 and have their produce stolen before it could even reach the islands! The monk and warrior senate is astonished at how this could happen five years in a row!
Rome is host to the first brothels! Though this increases the population, monks worry at how this affects their relationship with the Lake Lady, as they fear such rampant degeneracy might damage their spiritual connection.
Finally, they learn steelmaking from their brother nations! The iron supplied by the northern colonies is the bloodline of the steel industry, but they should be careful of exporting the weapons to other areas as banditry is out of control...
These games were called ' nation-builders ' on /tg/.
>>164469
hey kid wanna join a tribe?
>>164469
Thanks oldfag!
Also, gtg real soon, might be back lter tonight to post sky and wait for lake!
IM going to bed so we do
Action: on the bread shipments we hide legionaries on the boats.
Culture : Culture: Legionaries on active duty aren't allowed inside cities. They stay in forts outside said cities. The command structure is General, Legate, Centurion, Optio, Standard bearer, Legionary. any misdemeanour is met with corporal punishment carried out by centurions. Death to all traitors and dissenters. Death by crucifixion.
Tech: steel Helmets
>>164530
ITS island btw
A party is sent out to find the bandit camp. While resting in a natural cave, they find the interior and exterior painted with a language in black unintelligible to the Sky nation. They find the whole site empty, forcing them to ask questions. Is this the bandit's cave? Are there more like this one? Will they return to this site?
Guards are instated in every village to discourage banditry. Though citizens are definitely behaving themselves, some wonder if the guards are enjoying their roles a bit too much...
On the bright side, the Sky nation join Lake and Island in the literate club! Their language is similar to Island as they also developed it from representations of the runes they paint on their skins.
If lake replies soon, I'll do their turn, else, see y'all tomorrow!
its been a while guys, but just saying, we could rent out our cavalry to take out the bandits in exchange for tech/resources
Rolled 40 (1d100)
>>165477
o shid waddup
So here's my plan
They send small raiding parties right?
We send a small dummy carriage with a willing soldier, and we have lake soldiers stationed hidden close to it, that will attract the bandits out of their hiding spot towards the carriage, when they are completely surrounded by hidden lake soldiers, send the birds to distract them while they are hailed by atlatl fire
>>165477
Now
Other actions
Culture: Promote big families, if one can't support the entire family, the rest of the community helps, but one must pass a test before he's allowed a family, in order to seem worthy
We build many farms in Megara and Ctesiphus (we need the pop)
Continue with the bear domestication
>>164415
For turn 11
> learn the art of woodcutting
> learn the art of architecture and construction (to faster building from wood and bricks)
> Send message to local chief of the biggest bandit group. We can "trade", we offer supplies, food and arrows for robbed resources like animals, silk, steel, seeds and techs. Also offer peace treaty, you don't attack us, we don't attack you.
For turn 12
> Create city guard - law enforcement and security formation in our cities.
> Create new city in that place where we found ores and build mine(send horse archers to guard colonists).
> Create buildings for professional bowyer, fletcher and craftsmen (to open mass production of finest bows, crossbows, arrows and bolts)
Yeah we got everyone
>>166860
Who needs trade when they can take what they want ...
Culture: Guards are evaluated at the end of every year by the citizens and the priests and those who abuse their positions are blinded while those who do well receive extra food and sexual favours.
Action: Guard towers are built between every city with three being built between Limeville and Sandstown.
Culture:Trade is done in trade caravans escorted by lowlander warriors,priests and city guards.
And next turn if nobody vetoes:
-Build Aqueducts to supply water in our cities
-Make more houses
-Build multiple massive potato farms
After maybe we can maybe make walls, massive city gates, the Huge ass tower, a cathedral, sky roofs in the caves, etc.
>>166391
hmmm that is good idea
But killing all of the bandits will take many years...
>>166906
Where else they will sell stolen goods?
What they will do with this whole silk, techs and seeds without people, land and equipment?
I offering good deal. I will buy this stuff.
They need food, equipment and ammunition (arrows), we have a lot of this stuff.
>>167330
They already stole food, equipment and arrows
You aint the only one with bows and arrows
The lake nation set a trap to try and ambush the bandit party. They succeeded and lured a party of 10 bandits, but they lost eight men and managed to slaughter all but one who fled the scene and will no doubt inform the bandits of the ambush tactics of the lake nation.
The bear domestication yields progress! Proficient bird speakers learn the language of the beasts, and can command the bear to do simple tasks, though the bear is still a free spirit and will only comply when offered some incentive.
It is customary to have large families, but the population doesn't grow unless there are more farms. The lake nation would have built more farms, but that would make four actions in one turn...
Link turn 11 here!
Afternoon thread what are we doing sky?
>>167584
yes thats our turn the plan that the high priestess set up before she left
>>167584
yeah
>>167584
yea
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>164530
>>167629
Make the helmets roman
>>167584
More farms everywhere
Increase fortifications and have stationary guards
Expand fisheries
>>166946
yeah, exactly, we could make tons of money
op still making the turn sheets?
Sky nation builds multiple towers in between trade routes of their colonies. The massive structures are expected to be completed after 12 years.
Laws are established limiting guard's powers to prevent abuse of power, while simultaneously issuing guards to protect trade caravans between cities. Fewer incidents of banditry occur along the roads, and the sky nation can trade colonies resources in between each of their own cities relatively safely.
I just had an idea guys what about creating an international trading guild?
>>167838
I'm all for itSince we're pretty much the closest thing you'll get to Jewry
Plains nation issue members to become lumberjacks in their alpine colony of Kobdo. The lumber is used not only to supply crossbows, but also to build stronger wooden structures.
They attempt to send an emmisary to the bandit chief three times. The third emmisary returned alive, stating that the bandits are willing to trade their loot for large quantities of food, weapons, and horses.
The plains nation has still not responded to the request with lake nation to trade for horses, though with the recent mutual tolerance of the bandits, it seems unlikely they will without the bandits thieving the horses away.
>>167844
we need to keep horses a secret
Legions are posted on trading boats, reducing possibilities of trade on the coasts, though rumors surface of bandits taking boats of their own and interfering with the shipments on route...
Still, the measure increases their population increment by one, forgoing a potential higher count by incidental bandit raids in towns.
Legionaries are put through a military structure and posted outside of cities in forts to train. This causes a shift in bandit conspirators working more within cities to export to their base camps.
Steel helms are a symbol of the Island Legion.
Rolled 35 (1d100)
>>167857
Action: Mobilise army In Aquila and march on Capital city of Plains tribe.. We don't attack them we just wait for their trade with bandits. Then we send dove men scouts to follow the trade wagons back to their base.
Action: Build more farms in Pompeii
Action: Search for wild horses in the plains
With the sudden expansion of farms and fisheries, the population increases tremendously, but the value of fish and crops changed dramatically. The barter based economy is threatened as neither crops nor fish become desirable trade quantities as they are huge in quantity, yet that is all most have to trade.
Fortifications are also improved around towns, with atlatl guards posted around them, scaring off bandit raids along the frontiers.
The hydra is approaching the end of its life as well, and is growing sickly. To honor its legacy,
the farmers adopt it as a mascot of their party. To counter the action, the fishers adopt the bear as its party's symbol.
Nu turn, postem here
we need to repel the islanders occupation on our borders. We dont want them policing us. We have around the same population, and additionally we have horses. When it comes to steel weapons and helmets vs calvary, in history calvary ALWAYS wins. With longbows and shortbows we can win IF they try to attack us.
TLDR: fuck off lakefag
>>167905
That roll was for horsies
>>167916
Create a sort of currency made with shiny gravel, and start exporting paintings, oils, glass and the crushed materials
trade grains with the islanders
try to find a mate for the hydra
>>167923
we are observing the meeting using dove men. WE ARE ON OUR SIDE OF THE RIVER.
ALSO YOU ARE META GAMING
>>167923
Also check your facts on cavalry vs Legionaries.
Legionaries has hastaii. They carried large Re-enforced spears which they put in phalanx formation absolutely fucked horses.
>>167931
shit, sorry bro ur right, meta gaming
>>167934
Don't forget our support, without horse armor, steel atlatls are going to pierce through the hordes
>>167937
Are you seriously siding with bandits though :D
>>167942
what about ranged weaponry? Even if pikes can screw with horses from a close range. Atlatls can only Reach so far with archers? Additionally with a surrounding charge around a phalanx its formation breaks because its best only facing one direction.
>>167942
Wanna invade the plains :DDDDDDDDDD
>>167824
what should we do?
>>167953
no, i dont think we were going to side with bandits, remember i said we should kill them in exchange for goods. I just dont like the thought of other nations policing us to do their bidding.
Aqueducts, more farms, more houses , I think we have the biggest population and I want to keep it that way
>>167965
WELL THEN JOIN US
ITS SIMPLE :DDD
>>167956
Our atlatlmen come equipped with shields from what I remember, let's not forget the fact that only longbows can outreach atlatls
>>167934
Legionaries don't have chance desu.
Fcking Huns with stone arrows rekt their whole empire.
>>167976
Nice meme friend
>>167976
Obsidian actually :)
>>167965
I'm not a big fan of trading with the bandits but it was already done by the time I got back on. Something I think we should do however is use bug spying to learn more about bandits then feed information to our long time allies of sky nation, of course only the most trusted should be approached with this job
>>167976
>Legionnaires fought Huns
History is not your forte friend
Op is just loving this :DD

He must ask, about what kind of loot they was talking about and btw we can trade only food and weapons. No horses.
We need to know where is their base :^)
>>167916
-Build Aqueducts to supply water in our cities
-Make more houses
-Build multiple massive potato farms
op where you at you burgerbro
>>167930
What are the conditions of your trade? And are islanders in agreement?
>>168192
idk
What do the islanders want?
I'm open to offers
>>168205
hmm. what do we want? What ya got?
>>168205
CATAPULTS.. YES LOTS OF EM
Also atlatls tech..
We'll give you grain and bread
>>168262
I'll give you the catapults schematic for grain seeds and bread tech
>>168335
and atlatls. I just want pila for my legionaries.
Ill change the design into javelins

>New orders
Action: Mobilise army (mostly horse archers) in capital city, attack and burn islander farms and mines to destroy their food and ore supplies. Use horse archers to harass legion army, use our new tactic.
Custom trait: Logistc
We use horses to bring more supplies and arrows.
New tactic: Parthian shotThe Parthian archers mounted on light horse, while retreating at a full gallop, would turn their bodies back to shoot at the pursuing enemy. The tactic also could be used during feigned retreat, with devastating effect.
>>168411
yeah...
And you making catapults for bandits...
Not because we have brick walls...
>>168457
WHAT.. NIGGA I TRADE WITH THE PLAINS NATION... HOW DO YOU THINK WE GOT BOWS
>>168457
Hey nigger, why are you chimping out?
Also metagaming
>>168457
Oh i fucking hate Parthians
Never forget Carrhae
But desu that loss was crassus' fault
>>168457
bro we gotta improve calvalry, we have speed, so to destroy other kinds of military formations like phalnx we need to circle them so they're trying to focus efforts on two sides. Also horse armor like they suggested sounds like a BAD idea vs steel spears because they would pierce armor anyway, with lighter horses they can move faster. Anyway about metagaming, they're right, they havent even moved forces into our territory yet. Anway YOU GUYS WOULDNT KNOW ABOUT OUR DEAL WITH THE BANDITS IF IT WASNT FOR METAGAMING YOU GODDAMN HIPPOCRITES!
>>168494
Don't worry, based Heraclius rektd some Persian puss later on
>>168457
also nigga.. Our mines are IN THE FAR NORTH
>>168503
In other game just after building catapults he rekted my peacefull tribe... So i don't want to w8 for it here...
He just using that same scheme here.
We have leather armor and we have the best horse archers. We won't fight melee, we will just shot them down from distance :^)

>>168593
You're just chimping out m8, they dindu nuffin
Alright fuck this op
Leave all troops behind. I want 5 dove men to trail the bandits back to their hideout after a trade deal with plains people. Jebus
>>168608
HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TRADE DEAL????
>>168578
oh snap so they are too far to burn their shit in one turn...
>>168526
With small change, we will focus on one city.
>New orders
Action: Mobilise army (mostly horse archers) in capital city, attack and burn farms and mines near Aquilla city.
Send rain of fire arrows to Aquilla city and kill all of citizens and loot city.
Use horse archers to harass legion (island) army, use our new tactic.
Custom trait: Logistc
We use horses to bring more supplies and arrows.

>>168634
Nah Lake guys are ok.
You just have that same color of cities like island nation...
So they have only one city near me :P
btw OP can you change their color to idk red or something?
they both have very similar color on map.
>>168653
The problem is, if you, THEORETICALLY, completely destroy the Island tribe, it's going to negatively affect my tribe and my people, especially if you use scorched earth tactics, so if you don't want me to intervene, go fight somewhere where it won't affect me
>>168653
Also you think I'm retarded enough to put legions on a plain. Against cavalry when we don't have cavalry..
Op is lazy edition
Lake nation enters a trade deal with the island folk. What they didn't realize was that atlatls and shields were regularly raided on route by bandits, but within the half decade both nations have a less than decent supply of each other's weapons, among other items.
A form of currency is created to solve the barter issues. It becomes widely acceptable, though its usage is limited to domestic trade. Bandits also create a conterfeiting industry with the shiny gravel, though it is not very large at the moment.
They consider finding a mate for the hydra, but they remember that it came from a freaking meteor. The hydra is more stationary, and seems to only move two of its heads as of late.
>>168672
Make beer with the ground up grain, and produce bread
Feed mintleaves to the hydra and maybe it will expand its lifespan
Organize raiding parties to snuff out banditry in your area, also create a "gun for hire" policy, to hunt out bandits for ransom
>>168689
Can you give us beer too since we giving a lot of shit.. Plus grain seed is is very valuable
Don't be the Jew
Winter's Refuge makes widescale potato farms. Their population grows at a significantly faster rate.
Houses are built in the caves of Altodomino, along with an aqueduct. The city is able to host even more people than previously, and can afford larger population increases.
>>168708
sigh
>>168704
Sure, if you convert us to Lake Lady-ism
>>168718
Sure. Atheists btfo
>>168762
I just want some spells niggaWanna plan a whole lake x island orgy? It will help with the pop
>>168772
That's degenerate. The lake lady hates brothels.. How is she gonna feel and about mass orgies
>>168780
Brothel =/= Orgy
It's just some good ol' fashioned fun
You Romans oughta know that
Can we get op here. Where's our turns.
Are they attacking us or what. The reason to attack us is so meta it's fucked
The plains nation were considering a really aggressive action, but after remembering they had no in-game reason to suddenly chimp out they planned this move: >>168010
City guard is enforced, though some wonder why it would need to be enforced if the bandits were not gonna raid them.
A new colony is established in the south! Iron and gold ore are now accessible to the Plains nation!
New buildings based on professions are created. Most of them are weapon based.
The bandits respond that their treasure includes all material that is exported between colonies, which include:
- Wheat
- Limestone
- Wood
- Iron ores
- Furs
- Garlic
- Soybeans
- Stone
- Silk
- Potatoes
- Elk
- Sulfur
- Medicinal herbs
They agree that if they aren't allowed horses they want to build bases in the plains without any attacks from plains nations, and given plains doesn't disclose the location to other tribes.
>>168780
We'll need the pop, man, think about it

Islander scouts are sent from their plains colony to find horses, but they must establish a colony deeper inside the plains to properly capture the horses.
They also send dove scouts to find the bandit's potential hideouts. Of the seven scouts sent, six were shot by arrows, but the survivor returned with a confirmed location somewhere near the lake and plains border. The scout also confirmed that bandits seemed less aggressive around plains settlements, issuing concerns that the plains nation are behind the raids?...
It is a medium sized encampment with around 20 people, and its unclear if its permanent or not.
More farms are built in Pompeii, and their population grows faster.
Mupdate, and submit next turns here.

>Action: find and catch all horses in plains area, this our only advantage and only we (and our allies) should have a horses.
>They agree that if they aren't allowed horses they want to build bases in the plains without any attacks from plains nations, and given plains doesn't disclose the location to other tribes.
>>Action:
We have even better deal for them, we will give them the land. And we will send workers with tools to help them in building their base and some farm near your base. Also we will send them weapons for free.
But they must be our vassals and in time of war they need to send us part of their well equipped and trained troops.
In peace time they need to patrol our plains and also they need to deliver our nation one resource (which we do not have right now).
No taxes or saying what your chief must do. We do not interfere in religion or culture. We will don't give a fuck what you doing with other nations.
>Tech: Build Great Forge, upgrade our weapons to iron versions(swords, axes, spears, arrows and bolts etc).
>>169019
Hey, i was thinking that we should explore/colonize the desert, i dont know what we could qet, maybe dicover some cool thing in the south
Op actually has to go somewhere soon, gonna update your turns when I come backin like 5-8 hours
>>169114
Shit nigger, well, since it's basically midnight here
G'night Chief Dindu
>>169051
Someone a bit butt blasted?
>>169114
ok guys, since the bandits arent stealing from us as much i think we should focus on colonizing more land to the north east and north west. We should close off all the plains because its our home climate. Additonally were comming into conflict with other nations more frequently. We need to close off our borders from attackers. We need more cities and settlements next to the river. Also maybe we could do a Mesa Verde thing and build settlements into cliffs in our southern border if were running out of land. We're kind of land locked so we should start claiming as much as we can, then work on improving it. Maybe like building walls like great wall of china??? People are going to start walking into our lands and putting their laws on our people unless we stop it soon.
>>169051
we could also have royal marriages and install puppet government that has the same laws, however our shaman's chosen shall rule the land with the final say. (so they vassal stays under us) I mean we should allow them to continue their ways, but we have to prove to them that we can improve their nations if they stay loyal to us. Eg: giving our horses to the lake nation would make trade between cities much more effienct and much less suceptible to bandits. or teaching masonry to the lake people would be extremely usefull in building long lasting bridges.
>>169241
HOLY FUCK
If someone who is affected by bandits wants them to go would he also follow the bandits back to base and destroy them.
GOD I WANTED THEM DEAD
>>169375
EXACTLY.. They completely chimped out because I wanted to follow bandits and destroy them.

Water Legionaire started a whole argument about marching on our turf, then people got mad for meta gaming, we talking about blowing eachother up, and finally the islanders have a map about settlewhere we want to (desu i was typing that thing out and the guy put down his map before i clicked "post" and i dont have the auto thing on)
>>169301
so im thinking to the east because our capitol is so close to the edge, to the west, because the others already have a nearby village and they might come closer, and to the east because there's water for farms as well as cutting others from the plains land
>>169442
So i want a deeper plains colony WAY TO THE EAST
>>169441
You mean like this?
>>169442
then trade horses with us faggot. Also guys why dont we only trade MALE HORSES, that way they're of higher quality, AND we still have a monopoly
>>169449
anyway were willing to trade, we just dont want you policing us, threating us, or taking what land is rightfully ours. Our nations tribes have wandered the plains for genrations. We will not tolerate others stealing land from our nomad brothers. (see, our nation is divided between permanent city settlements, and nomad dwellers. Our nation is focused on the part of our tribe that stopped moving)
heres the places we should eventually have cities. The hollow purple circles are my recomendation. To the north to provide some cannon fodder between us and our city, to the east and west to close off our borders.
>>169476
shit
>>169465
kind off
>>169466
Look i don't know why OP put all the horses in the plains.. I want some so i can have wagons pulled by horses. Then we have all the horse shit.
I never even wanted to leave my highly fortified island until op made me.
You guys are also using bandits as a proxy army... FUCKING PROXY ARMY
>>169511
horses are from ukrainian plains, its why theyres goats in the mountains. You want it? Trade
>>169511
>PROXY ARMY
You have no proofs :^)
>>169549
If I remember correctly they did attempt to trade for horses but didn't get a response from us.
>>169625
yep
>>169660
Ok we can trade castrated male horses :^)
We need to have monopol.
>>169660
I am in support of trade, you guys can figure out what what will be asked in return but I suggest either demanding they vacate from the plains (that way we also get a sweet settlement for free) or they pay a tax/tithe/tribute in order to ensure peace while living on our land
>>169700
For army we should focus on:
+Horse Archers
+Cataphracts(later)
+Scorpions and Ballistae (on walls,later)
+Crossbowman (on walls)
they dont have a settlement yet>>169700
also if tensions do increase we need to build battering rams, not defences
Do I have a turn from sky?
Lake nation mass produces alcohol from their grain supply. It greatly enhances incentive to work, and is often purchased as an item for festivals and social gatherings. They also outsource bandit justice to vigilantes looking for bounties. In order for the state to afford bounties, however, a hefty sum of uncounterfeitable currency must be produced.
A third political party is born: The Lake Party! They believe that the lake people should worship the deity the island worships, being the Lake Lady, in order to gain her blessings and learn their magic. Their numbers grow thanks in part to magic enthusiasts, island born citizens, and super-radical fishermen. Both the Farm and Fisher parties are extremely opposed to the party, and often have to ally together to defeat the Lake party in the voting rounds.
The hydra breathes its final breath, and dies at the end of the five years. The farm party erects a monument around the beast to commemorate its life.

Wanna trade?
Sky nation improve their sky temple so its higher into sky's domain and has beautiful glass structures, which they themselves researched, bringing it divine skylight.
Research begins into a sort of weapon that launches projectiles with the assistance of gunpowder. A huge number of prototypes are developed, but before the decade is up, a working prototype is expected to be launched. In order to mass produce it though, the nation would need to train gunsmiths and gunmen, as well as mine large amounts of gunpowder, wood, metals, etc.
>>172447
HYDRA NOOOOOO
;;;;(((((((
>>172451
Not now because you don't have anything that interests us but maybe later.
The plains nation construct a huge forge where they can upgrade all their weapons to iron versions. Of course, they still need to collect the ore from their mining town before they can produce the weapons, but still, good for them!
The head chief sanctions that all horses on the plains must be captured so that no others can have them. Unfortunately, their stables are unable to accommodate so many horses, and some were forced to kill their horses for extra food, providing a minor population boost in some towns.
The bandits came back... at least partially. It turns out the bandits are NOT one unified body, though they tried to be for many years. Six bandit chiefs operate along the plains, mountain, and forest borders, and only two took up our offer of taking land and becoming vassals. One would take it if his band would not have to become vassals, and the others laugh at the thought that the plains nation even has land to give.
Plains nation has two plots of land they can give to vassals! Each bandit camp is 15 strong, place your regions on the map if you prefer, or I will assign them.
>>172451
What did I miss and what do we have?
Tthe island nation scout and find horses, finally! It seems the plains nation hasn't scoured every single horse! Their town of Arcanum is the prime spot for horses and other plains resources, and they quickly learn domestication after observing tricks that sky uses for elk domestication and plains uses for horse domestication. Arcanum should be wary though, as occasional horse thieves ride off to what some can only surmise as bandit camps!
Brothels are also banned, pleasing the Lake Lady, who promises to meditating monks a more magical apt generation in the coming years.
Turn 14 here!
>>172487
Tech: Bat domestication
Action:
-New colony near the sulfur mines called Yellowrock

>>172524
There mayor shall be named "sofa king" and he shall have a sofa.
Shit, I forgot about Island's new colony.
>>172542
Anyway, how many do you want to fight the bandits? You have 25 from the horse colony and 45 from the plains one.
>>172554

>>172656
Here lurking in another thread
I think that only lake is missing right now
>>172668

We can also inscribe runes on the guns to make them safer to wield
>>172678

name that new city "Dafaq Owtovit"
>Start mining, build mine of gold and iron. Name this south colony "Abydos"
>Build horse-stables in every city, like 70 more, mostly from non-flammable materials like clay, bricks etc.
>>172729
You can't give land that doesn't belong to you ....
>>172718
Is that the one before the Huge battles with hydra king and the necromancer?
>>172768
Yep
