Sup /qst/, let's start a civ! Rules are as follows, first race/location to three votes (Or popular demand if three votes can't be made) is chosen. The Civ get's 2 actions per turn, and all actions are decided upon by the majority and then rolled on by me. We'll use a d100, and I'll write up the stat block with all the nitty-gritty shit once we decide on what we're playing. Sound good?
Side note: If y'all want to play something not on the posted image, just say so, I'm open to custom races/locations.
>>294225

Oh in ruins

Okay, 1 vote for Skaven Ruins
(cool choice, I like the idea of rats living in the ruins of an ancient civ. Really embodying the whole scavenger archetype)
>>294236
I think there's already a Giant Civ that's been going on for a while, as much as I like the idea.
>>294237
Cool I am always late for civ threads. Glad I caught this'n.
skaven it is
>>294263
Cant draw for shit sadly. Think there are some pretty good skaven images around if that's what we end up with.

Skaven it is, I'm not much of a Warhammer fan and don't want to disservice the franchise by not knowing much about it. We'll just make our own universe/civ if that's okay.

>Homunculi in Ruins

Kinda just paranoid sneaky ass ratmen we'll get some approximation im sure. We gotta murder dwarves still though bruh.
small band of Skaven in the ruins of the Dwarven Fortress Karak Eight Peaks, inhabited by feral greenskins and other skaven brought together by a Grey Seer (skaven leader dude) who has a warpstone?

FUCKING GOD DAMIT! I wanted for so long to play as the Homunculi and I fucking missed it!
>The halls were silent. The historically bustling city brought to a dead stand-still. The smell of death filled every inch of the caverns, emanating out of each and every home. The furnaces were finally smothered, their ancient fires now little more than soot, ash, and remains. For a single moment, all was quiet. Then, from the darkest corner of the twisted caverns came the hint of scuttering footsteps. A pair of beady eyes gazed upon the now disease ridden ruins, and they found it good. With a shriek, the one pair of eyes turned to dozens. The Skaven, subjected to torture and mass genocide by all other races emerged from their final hiding place. Their leader, the enigmatic shaman who, after years of effort, organized the few remaining members of their one powerful race stood tall as his fellow rat-men rushed past him. They pushed and scratched, scrambling to reach their new city and loot it for all it was worth. But he knew that the worst was yet to come, and that they must prepare. They would be the second coming of the Skaven, but they must not be overconfident. They must hide in the shadows, as they always have, spreading disease and pestilence to weaken their enemies before rushing in to crush whatever remains. If they are smart, they will bring about an empire unparalleled by any before them.

>>294389
So what attribute gets a +1 on the hero?
>>294389
>research crossbow
>research farming
>>294389
Also practice magic
Fortify our holdings
>>294409
what too farm in ruins ? moss and mushroom ?
>>294404
I'm saying write some fluff, something like a leadership bonus or a bonus to mages. something character driven that that hero gives to the civ.
Action 1
>send out a 4 scout parties consisting of 4 nimble and quick skaven to assess the surroundings
Action 2
>get the larger skavens to start tearing down any weak wooden structures, gather wood from around the closeby
Skaven leader name: Ripnitch
>>294413
Mushrooms could work probably
Rolled 87 (1d100)
So you all need to decide on two actions for this turn, as a popular vote. Farming mushrooms seems popular so I'll roll that as the first action.
>>294416
>Ripnitch sounds like a good name and a bonus
to mages sounds good.
>>294417
Attribute: when in battle, when Ripnitch kills things and his follower rats see, they get morale boost
If he kills a lot of things they will enter a berserk state of fury, increasing their damage output while possibly taking more casualties
>>294425
This is also pretty awesome.
>>294421
Start to repair the forges
Research farming
>>294425
+1 good skill for leader
>>294425
Worded a bit awkwardly, but I understand. Pretty good ability.
>>294421
>The fields had long since died, the hideously complicated dwarven light-producing machines torn apart for scrap metal years ago. But the land was still able to be tilled, and the location was perfect. After a few weeks of testing, the fungus normally used as an herbal remedy and morale booster has been grown to also feed the troops. Large quantities of the mushroom are grown in the underground caverns, and the Skaven rejoice.
This levels out your food production, and you actually have a surplus +1 food per turn. Without proper care though, this surplus will consistently go bad every other turn. So unless you can find a way to stockpile your food you have a semi-permanent +2 food per turn. The Mushroom farm produces 2 food per turn, but you only have one field in your area of town.

Depending on the roll, Riptnitch either gives serious bonuses to his troops damage representing his unparalleled bloodlust and fury, or he fights as a coward, possibly becoming injured, leading to morale hits to his troops.)

or do we need some sort of refridgerator to keep the shrooms from going bad
also could you give a description of the ruin area we are in
Rolled 54 (1d100)
>>294454
Rolling to scout the city and the surrounding territory
>>294461
>The ruins are of an ancient Dwarven stronghold, once-high walls are built into a monstrous cavern. The scouts scuttle around the catacombs, keeping a watchful eye out for any survivors. But, as previously stated, the city is seemingly dead. It's made up of two distinct zones, a residential district, closer to the back of the large cavern. Filled with towering hovels built into the sides of the caves and open marketplaces. This is where you call home, your Skaven have taken over most of this part of town, and have begun to repurpose the houses for their own needs. This is also where your mushroom farm and base of operations is. The other, smaller, side of the town is the federal or government area. The architecture changes here, from wood and cobblestone hovels to impressive marble fortresses. A coliseum takes the center stage, and a large town hall adorned with multiple portraits and busts of dwarves kings gone by sits next to it. The Skaven have been afraid of entering these areas yet, the roads are mostly clear and there is little place to hide. The gate, leading supposedly to the terrifying outdoors, is built into the city. Ripnitch guesses that the entire city is built into the side of a mountain, in some sort of gigantic cavern that branches off into unknown regions that the Skaven used to call home. The biggest target of all is the barracks, stories have been told by previously captured skaven of armories that could bring almost any army to their knees inside that building. But the enormous steel doors are sealed shut, and there seems to be no other entrance.

Turn 2, Suggest your two actions
>>294489
Built into a mountain? Maybe we could do something with mining?
We should appoint 2 of the more intelligent Skaven to the roles of Alchemist and Engineer
>The Alchemist could start messing with those mushrooms, and use smaller, weak ratlings as test subjects
>The Engineer could start experimenting with fire and water and steam and whatnot
We should also gather supplies in order to commence production of spears. After all what are rat people without long pointy sticks?
>>294500
Yeah! We nee to make some of these babies.
Rolled 28 (1d100)
So, the two actions for this turn are food storage (First roll) And appointing an Alchemist and Engineer (Doesn't really require a roll, now their actions could require rolls.)
So since appointing those two doesn't require a roll, what do you want to do with mining?
>>294500
Mushrats! Let's do it.
>>294510
Guess we'll try and see if we can find any ore veins.
Rolled 4 (1d100)
>>294510
Look for some good mineral vein and start building mine or quary
>>294510
>Deciding that they weren't the biggest fans of watching their stocks go to waste, a few rats banded together and tried to stockpile the food. They tried this a few different ways, sadly none of it produced any effect. The only notable experiment was when they attempted to smoke the mushrooms, leading to a serious hallucinogenic and morale boosting phenomenon. So while no way of preserving the mushroom has been found yet, many of the rats no longer care due to the effects of the burnt mushrooms.
>>294518
Fug
Rolled 48 (1d100)
>>294516
Rolling for mining
>>294519
HA! We can use that later bottle it or some shit.
Okay, well if storing them isn't working, maybe we could figure out a way to change them chemically so they can last longer.
>>294523
>Using the ornate dwarven pickaxes, some stronger Skaven head off into the tunnels under the command of Ripnitch. Some small veins of iron and copper are found, but it only occurs after a few days of exploring that the collapsed Dwarven mines might produce better results if they were to be cleared. There are rumors of untold treasures down there, but that comes with mysterious dangers.
>>294532
Sounds like a job for our handy dandy alchemist this task and the captain ogre skaven project.

>>294567
In retrospect, these names are perfect. Going with these instead.
>>294575
Aye, we need Giant Mushroom Rat Abominations
Also Skaven need firelocks, ninja gutter runners, pikes, and if we find a Dwarven Gyrocopter we can get flying rodents
what a beautiful future
>>294541

>>294582
how are we going to make crossbows inside abandoned ruins man
first we need spears, then we need to find something to use those spears on
>Learning from both the oral histories of the ancient Skaven and the remaining weapons of the dwarves, the Skaven waste almost no time ripping the supports from unused housing to make simple stone-tipped spears. Some even adorn them with rotten and plague-ridden meat and juices for extra kick.
(Spears 1 researched, 40 spear-rats added to military, basic military developed)
Spear-Rats get bonuses to defense and fighting calvary, but are weak against missile units. They are not the strongest melee fighters, but will hold their own as long as a leader is present.

Aw shit stabby stick crew. Standing military is good.
>>294589
>Grizzle-Hide takes aside some of the smaller rodents, telling them that if they help him with his experiments they will be fed all the mushrooms they can stomach. What follows are horrendous experiments, seeing each and every way that the rats can respond to mushrooms and how the mushrooms effect everything from growth to psychological health. The results are inconclusive to the uneducated viewer, but Griz promises that with time results will come.

On the executive order of Ripnitch, Griz is to be given as many Skaven as he needs. This significantly speeds up the research process at the cost of 10 Skaven. What Griz discovers is that the mushroom can be mutated over breeding cycles to have significant impact on young Skaven, and they can be grown to be stronger, faster, and greener than the average Skaven. A few generations of these Super-Skaven and you'd have a significantly stronger, if not a lot stupider, version of Skaven. Just one generation of these Skaven stand at least two feet taller than the average, but they are not nearly as intelligent.
(Eugenics 1 researched, Mushrooms 2 researched)
:Using the dead Skaven and the remains of the dwarves, a particularly enthusiastic individual sets up shop making tanned hide and armor. Ripnitch seizes the opportunity and designates his front porch as the community shit-area, and then uses the feces to fuel their furnaces.

>Ripnitch stood over his subordinates, surveying the area. The slowly crumbling buildings still had a certain mystique to them, as if they were the skeletons of a king. And Ripnitch wanted nothing more then to rip them apart and find all the goodies hidden within. With a few silent commands, they snuck closer to the previously feared doorway, it's large stone form covered in ancient dwarvish. A large-eared Skaven pressed his body up agains the door as quietly as he could, and after a few seconds he turned to Ripnitch. "They're in there boss, gotta be a lot of em', their organizing plans about somethin". The Skaven shook in their dwarf-skin armor, in the past any fight with the dwarves was always lost in a hail of black-powder and fire. We've been pushed back long enough, Ripnitch thought to himself, and as they clambered back to their new home he began to devise ways to rid their settlement of the dwarf menace once and for all.
Sounds like getting rid of the gruffians in our city should be our top priority, we have furnaces right? Getting sharpened metal to throw, ninja star style would be good, and maybe shortswords and shields for fighting in small areas like caves and alleys.

>The Skaven band together, and after seeing the Dwarves fight so very effectively with shields they attempt to mimic their technique using wood. Sadly, the process goes horribly wrong, and due to a freak accident involving some stone tools, a wooden "Shield" and a fire, a Skaven dies. Shields are written off till later notice, most Skaven prefer to fight fast and loose anyways.

>Ripping apart some stalls in a market area, the Skaven transform the open space into a crude sparring arena. The military rats spend most of their days now training and fighting, it's honestly impressive just how dedicated they seem to beating the shit out of each other. One can only hope that the same vigor will be shown when they go up against a real foe.

Nice! good work on the squeeking legions part.
How's everyone feel about researching chemical warfare and magic next round?
I say we use the Dwarven Status, melt them down for their precious materials such as gold.
Then we somehow lure the Dwarves out of their building with said gold. These dwarves are probably not here to retake their city, so they might be treasure hunters. If they are greedy and it works, we can surround and slaughter them. IF we are to fight we must protect Ripnitch while also letting him slay as may Dwarves as he can.
>>294858
Statues*
Also we need to focus on Breeding more. Skaven are most effective in vast numbers, and against heavily armed Dwarves in small spaces we are going to take heavy casulties.
>>294858

As I feared. The magic fails but the forges shall be built.
>>294886
>The forges are the easy part, with some simple tinkering on Clank's part they fire back into life as if not a day has gone by. With mushroom-fuled vigor the Skaven jump into action, ripping metal off of every available surface and throwing it into the smelter with gusto. What is produced are smelted bars of iron and gold easily able to coax most dwarves out of their hidey-holes. Or at least, thats what the Ripnitch keeps saying.
Forges Repaired, the power of the dwarven forges is now at your command. Use it well.
> The Skaven set up the trap as well as they can, placing the bars of metal outside their door, and posting slingers to watch as scouts 24/7. The dwarves give no response, as there's no way for them to know that there's treasure out there yet.

Can you describe the perimeter of the Dwarves hideout? do we have access around the entire thing? If so what is it made out of (Roof and Walls, are there windows, etc.) and how large is it?
I have a master plan
>>294957
Dice god isn't nice today
Op should roll after votes are made. It seems to me like the person first to roll is making the decisions
>>294971
We need to make a skaven chapel to the great plague god!

I was going by highest and most popular roll, but if the majority wants this I can go back to doing it like that.
Cast the plague magic on the Dwarves!
>>294982
I just do the rolls for people who don't do it on their own.
>>294974
The dwarves hideout is a large domed building, built into the base of the cavern. It has no visible windows and is built to withstand most attacks. It was the town's barracks, and is regarded as one of the safest buildings in the entire area. it's made of stone, and has one large barricaded door in the front.
>>294982
Oh were you? My bad op...
Also just wanted to say discovered /qst/ today. This shit is so dope! This is my first thread!
We'll do a voting system, I don't like the idea of anyone's voices not being heard. So after I announce the beginning of the new round state what you want to vote for action wise, you can debate stuff but at least have one clear vote post so I can try to tally it and roll off of that.
>>294996
Welcome to /qst/! it's my first post in this part of 4chins too, I used to do shit like this all the time in /tg/ tho.
Anyways, everyone post their votes for this round and I'll do the roll. Sorry dice pope, as much fun as it was to have everyone involved in rolling this makes it a lot more clear what's happening.
>>295004
Sounds good Dice pope should still have a title though Plague pope? Screech Pope?

I guess you could roll after we vote on what everyone wants, actually sure that'll work. Once we tally up votes, you roll.

We can starve them out maybe

Yay! Thank you.
2 votes for finding ways to starve them out
Ok for some actual Actions now though
>Action 1
We use the Forge to make small blades which we fix on the end of our spears, turning them into Billhooks, Glaives and Halberds so we can pierce armor
>Action 2
We give Alpha Skaven males and mothers mushrooms so they experience a trip and fuck like rabbits to increase breeding
>>295039

>>295038
We could make a plague that makes them permanently hungry.
Third vote decides

I voted for Starving them out.
>>295047
Thiiiird vote where art thou?
That's 3 for starve out we still need another Action though

>After surveying the area the Skaven realize that there is no way in or out of the Barracks within the cavern. So there are two possible options, either they have a massive surplus of food in there, possibly the place where they would have kept food during a siege as that hasn't been found yet, or they have some way in and out of the city without using the gate.
>Using the already hormonal affecting mushrooms, Griz takes aside the majority of the population and gives them a special species of mushrooms that he's been cultivating for this purpose. Basically, they fuck like rabbits, or rats. This leads to a gigantic boom in population. Around turn 10 the population should double. Sadly, this used up all but a few of that specific type of mushroom.

One bad roll and you question your faith? It's only a few polearms. Besides, we suck at melee anyways.
>Enthralled with their new advances using the dwarven technology, the rat men bound to the forges. They chuck all they have into them, and with relentless vigor attempt to make the weapons. Sadly, the forges are completely overburdened due to not being rebuilt correctly, and they simply implode on themselves. The resulting explosion kills ten Skaven, and destroys the entire forge. Unless the Skaven have some other way of rebuilding the forge, it's completely useless for now.
(-10 dead Skaven, their bodies are charred and can't even be used for hide armor)
>On the Mushroom producing front, the Skaven attempt to squeeze little areas to grow Mushrooms. But without proper expansion all they can do is add a little to their growth rate, resulting in a net +0.5 per turn in food that rots after one turn.
>As the Skaven continue to grow in strength, they finally feel confident in their abilities. This is a good, stable ground to rebuild their empire Ripnitch thinks, maybe they will finally embody all that they can. As he sits in his humble abode, a small out of breath slinger comes rushing in "They've done got out sir!" He screams between panting. "What? How?" Ripnitch replies, before throwing the sniveling vermin aside and walking out onto his rickety terrace. The sound of cannons can be heard, and loud gruff voices reverberate around the caves.
Welcome to combat motherfuckers, the way we're going to do this is more like a D&D encounter, y'all say your actions, we roll for them, and they don't count towards the actions for the civ turn.

>They had organized themselves on the walls and in the homes, they had been waiting for a moment to bloody their spears for months and were bristling with excitement. Ripnitch tried to keep them calm, but even he was absolutely overwhelmed with bloodlust. These were the dwarven scum that had pushed back their entire race into the darkest caverns, and it was time they payed. The Dwarves had set up a circular defense, with the cannons on small pillars that look like they had been constructed within the barracks. The door to the barracks was shut, forty dwarves guarded it now. They had a defensive shield wall up, their axes and hammers waiting to smash on anyone that got close. The Ratmen shivered with anticipation, and with one swift movement by Ripnitch, they began to unloose all the hell they could. The slingers let loose, but almost immediately they could tell they would do nothing against the incredibly thick dwarven armor. The rocks simply bounced off of the tall shields, and Ripnitch could swear he heard laughter. Enraged, he began to relentlessly cast plague magic, bolts of green death-smelling plague rocketed down towards the dwarves, but once again, their armor prevailed. Only a few dwarves fell, and before the wall could be broken they were replaced, all in anticipation for a charge from the Spear-Rats. Following the plan, it was then that the Spear-Rats charged, covered ever so slightly by the magic and the slingers. Their morale was already weak, almost no dwarves had fallen! But it was the first ring of cannon fire that made them terrified, the huge dwarven cannons fired not gunpowder and lead, but fire! The dragon-headed cannons fired streams of molten death onto the already fleeing Skaven. And Ripnitch watched as his men were eaten alive by the orange flames. Without further ado, he ordered a full retreat, throwing more plague magic just to spite them as they ran off the walls.
25 dead spearmen, their bodies charred and unusable, their weapons burnt along with their armor. Morale is weakened (-5 to all combat checks for the next 2 turns against dwarves)
>>295695
Do the dwarves roll counter rolls?
If so
>>295737
The dwarves had a set difficulty due to them having prepared for a long time, but next time I'll give them counter rolls.

do you guys want to keep fighting? Or do you want to retreat?

2 actions
> Send the quitest Skavvies to posion the enemies water supplies
> Send More quite Skavvies to murder them in there sleep or when on patrol
(Action 2 is negotiable)
Well with iron polearms and even simple metal armors, we still won't be able to beat the dwarves head on if they are dug in. It would take dozens, if not hundreds of casulties. We either have to start breeding hardcore, and increase food production, or come up with an elaborate plan.
Someone roll me to check of there are any sort of aqueducts or pipes at all above the dwarves location
>>295754
Retreat! Skavvies don't win with brute force!
>>295759

we need to poison their supplies during battle, and we can maybe use large amounts of water to make their gunpowder inneffective
