Previously, The Slime King's child Hydaara took power, and settled a city outside of the subterrain. Unfortunately, she was forced to destroy an elf city after they tried to subjugate her people. Then, she made a donation to the College of Residology, and now, many years later, the world shall change once more.
40 years later, the slime empire has grown greatly. It has turned its focus towards Science, allowing both whole cities to be filled with biopunk technology. The world around you has also changed, as explorations to the east shows the Empire of Men, a powerful nation of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings. To the east desert, another racial Alliance has formed, between Orcs, Goblins, Giants, Cyclops's, and Lizardfolk. Your empire has only two races, though slimes greatly outnumber elves.
Luckily, there are two options for you. In the west is an independent group of Minotaurs, though the east desert has a large city of Skaven, which may tolerate, even welcome your kind. Then again, you could just create Homunculi.
>Ally with Minotaurs
>Ally with Skaven
>Permit creation of Homunculi
>>46843160
>Ally with Minotaurs
This is a tough choice. We need brute force also.
>>46843160
>Ally with Skaven
>>46843160
>>Ally with Minotaurs
>>46843160
Ally with the Minotaurs.
Minotuars
>>46843160
Is there a way to ally both? I voted for the Minos but can we ally with the Skaven later on or will they hate and/or not trust us?
You send a Slime Drale messenger in the direction of the minotaurs. One week later, through a mental control orb, you can see it fly near the Minotaur's city... Just for a javelin to pierce it through the core. The link screams shut. It would appear the Minotayrs aren't too friendly...
Suddenly, your astronomers burst into the throne room, apparently in panic about something. They inform you that two meteors have been spotted approaching earth at a rapid speed; One os predetermined to land in the east, and one in the west. The western meteor is going to land in Minotaur city, and possibly kill millions of people. The one in the east, on the other hand, is calculated to land in Skaven city, with the same issue. If no actions are taken, it could mean their total annihilation. You have just enough time to send a Slime Drake Screecher, that will scream a message at an extremely loud volume that can be heard in the surrounding area. Only one civilization can be saved
>Warn Minotaurs
>Warn Skaven
>Let them both perish
>>46844231
>Warn Skaven
Well, that wasn't nice of very them. Oh, well. We tried to play good neighbors.
>>46844231
>Warn Skaven
Minos had their chance to be our friend.
>>46844231
Skaven
Minotuars is dicks
The chances of two meteors falling at the same time at two cities is pretty astronomically small. Is there perhaps some marching empire who has mages powerful enough to cast meteor spells at their enemies behind this? Are they the next enemy we will have to face? I suggest we start preparing for a pretty big war and inform everyone that some genocidal force has appeared.
>>46844780
Let's all agree that some god or something just playing with us to make choices.*cough*QM*cough
Also, the Minos were dicks.
You send a Slime Drake Screamer to the Skaven City. In three days it reaches them, and emits an incredibly loud screech that they must evacuate. 30 minutes later, almost on cue, a large red orb appears in the sky, with a single piercing eye looking down at them. Within the hour, almost the entire city is evacuated, a large black furry mass running from the city.
The sky turns red as the meteor sails, and crashes into the city.
A massive red cloud of lightning flies out in all directions. Some Skaven manage to escape the growing cloud of death, while some are consumed and utterly disintegrated. To the east of your city, another meteor crashes at almost the exact same time, only this time is is a pearly blue with a radiant holy light. It crashes and creates a blinding light. Moments before it did, the minotaurs were going about their daily primitive business, the only warning of their impending doom being a shining ball of light.
Two weeks later, you receive word that the Skaven survivors are seeking refuge from anyone that will grant it, and that they are currently camping out in the Elven City Ruins. Letting them join your Empire will be beneficial since it will allow your empire a faster breeding rate and some additional technological advances, but your cities are already getting pretty crowded, and it seems hard to squeeze in an entire population.
>Wish the best and hope everything works out
>Take the Skaven in as:
Second Class Citizens
Slaves
Equals
Test Subjects
>Kill the Skaven. If your empire can't support them, they can't afford anyone else getting their help
>Give the Skaven some resources, hopefully they can rebuild their own empire
>>46845911
>Take the Skaven in as equals
>Help make another home but they acknowledge they are now under Slime rule
>>46845911
>>Take the Skaven in as:
>Equals
We good slimes. But they have to bath. Regularly.
>>46846070
This, too. We can convince them that the will ward off other meteor disasters.
>>46845911
Take the Skaven in as equals. On the condition that they follow and respect our laws and people. We don't have to take them in.
So, this the third thread?
>>46846220
Yes
>>46845911
>Take the Skaven in as Equals.
We will build up the ruin city and make it our own.
You send out a Messenger Slake(Slime Drake), that informs the Skaven leader, Prince Rodern, that your people will take them in, so long as they conform to your laws. He appears to be happy so long as anything takes his people in. The Skaven are more used to dank conditions, and throw less of a fuss to your dark, damp cities as compared to the Elves.
Months pass by, and by now you are an old woman. A blob scientist informs you that they have been studying the meteors that destroyed the Skaven and Minotaur cities are still there, and have appeared to have had an effect on the landscape. The blue-light meteor, dubbed the "Stone of Protection" has changed the eastern mountains into an ethereal celestial location, with Celestials appearing from it, and swearing to protect the Empire of Man, which already consists of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings.
Meanwhile, in the west, the dark-red meteor of lightning, the "Stone of Freedom" has had Demons appearing from it wielding flaming swords, and have been helping the Desert Alliance of Orcs, Goblins, Giants, Cyclops's, and Lizardfolk control their own fate.
Your blob spies report that both Alliance and Empire appear to be plotting against each other. Such large powers going to war with each other would surely be a world-altering effect. You must make a decision.
>Isolate yourself
>Join the Empire/Alliance
>Fight under your own banner
>Remain neutral
>>46847079
>Remain neutral
This won't end well.
>>46847079
>>Remain neutral
We are friends to all who would be friends with us.
>>46847079
>Remain Neutral
We Switzerland now
>>46847079
>>Join the Empire/Alliance
Call me paranoid but I think the side that doesn't have demonic influence would be better choice in allies.
>>46847259
I highly doubt it's so black and white.
More than likely the Celestials are Order-oriented and are entirely fine with cruel despots so long as order is maintained, while the Demons would probably prefer Anarchistic tendencies and free unions.
So let's be Neutral, let's be a Constitutional Monarchy with a great deal of power going towards the crown!
So hey.
I just realized that we are in a Valkyria Chronicles situation, where we are Gallia, but instead of being behind technologically we have extremely advanced Bio-tech.
Elves are Darcsens.
>>46847596
How did it end with Gallia?
>>46847628
Both of the super-powers around them either tried a straight-up annexation in the case of the Empire, their German-equivalents, or tried to stage a coup using greedy sympathizers that would lead to the same result from the Federation, their Allied Powers equivalent.
Ended up with the Death of the Heir-apparent to the Empire and several extremely important military figures and crippling any future plans on the part of the Empire, and the coup was stopped dead in it's tracks and every Federation sympathizer and general corrupt nobility getting a tribunal laid on them.
Basically, Gallia became Fins.
You decide the best action would be to remain neutral, but some of your subjects disagree. Your Slime subjects are alright, as long as they can do their science. However, your Elven subjects demand that they fight with the rest of their scattered brethren, and your Skaven's want vengeance against the Stone of Freedom that destroyed their proud city.
Many elves have been rallying their own fighting groups, planning to join the Empire's army, while some Skaven have been pestering you to do at least grant a few resources.
Meanwhile, an Alliance ambassador says that helping them in any way will be rewarded handsomely.
>Initiate a closed border policy(a)
>Initiate a tax, so any elves that want to leave will have to pay. It won't be discouraging their freedoms, but it will discourage some from going(a)
>Let the elves go freely(a)
>Make the elven soldiers leaving mandatory(a)
>Send soldiers to the Empire/Alliance(b)
>Send resources to the Empire/Alliance(b)
>Keep your own resources to yourself(b)
>Allow the Empire/Alliance to pass through the plains(c)
>Keep your borders closed(c)
Meanwhile, your people have been working on their own projects, some are specifically for possible war. You have the power to ban any one you wish, and the funds and sources going through to that one will instead help with other projects
>Ban Homunculus Creation
>Ban Military Science
>Ban exploration of the unterrain
>Ban Private Warbands
>>46847852
What is the unterrain?

*sniff*
what a time to be alive
Why are you guys banning military science?
Seriously, you cannot possibly be this retarded.
>>46847987
The cave network work empire lives in is the subterrain. The area beneath the subterrain is the unterrain. You do have three cities in it, but the majority of it is full of Sludges, magically deformed subjects of your own people that escaped and bred, and escaped elves, though they are hardly seen. Nobody really knows if they survive in their own isolated communities or have been killed off by Sludges. Or maybe they all starved to death.
>>46848075
>>46848039
Fine, I switch to Ban exploration of the unterrain
>>46847852
Ban unterrain, no clue about the other stuff
>>46847852
Ban Private Warbands
>>46847852
>Ban exploration of the unterrain
You give the elves permission to go help their brethren, prevent either side from passing through your territory, and prevent any advancement of Military Science, as well as keeping your resources to yourself. On a small thought, you send two ambassadors to both Empire and Alliance, hoping that they could just "talk things out" The Empire says that the Alliance breeds chaos, and would bring about a world of madness and anarchy. The Alliance on the other hand argues that life is precious, and shouldn't be locked up by society or laws, and allowed to roam free as an eagle. Both sides also highly recommend you join their sides, yet you state you maintain your neutrality.
Much of your Elven Population's men leave to fight for the Empire, while your Skaven citizens are happy, that "atleast you're not helping those heathens."
Two weeks later, your people create the first ever Homunculus. They are practically made for work, and so they do the mundane tasks of your empire, providing a minor boost in production.
A few independant explorers of the unterrain make a startling discovery, that there is another empire underground, the Darkhart Folkdom, composed of Machines, Trolls, and Dark Elves, who claim to be the Elves that escaped from your empire. They are not upset with your empire, in fact they thank you for putting them on a path of "Enlightenment"
>I'm really out of ideas right now, so you guys just come up with a move and I'll try to put it all together.
>>46848819
Diplomacy!
Let's make friends.
>>46848819
>Diplomacy
Plus, they're in our land.
>>46848819
>composed of machines
How do they work?
Make friends
>>46848819
diplomacy with the darkhart folkdom
>Alliance and Empire fighting
>we just want peace with everyone
>team up with new Darkhart friends
>forcefully bring peace to everyone
>>46848819
Let's improve our Homunculi.
>>46849248
this
The Darkhart Folkdom accepts your proposal of friendship. After two weeks, your Homunculi's breeding genes have been improved, and they evolve from small goblin like workers a more humanoid strain.
A month passes, and tragedy strikes. The Empire has crossed into your territory, and have ransacked your cliff city of Dilita. Survivors of the attack say that your sister and governor of Dilita, Deltaraa, had prevented the Empire from passing through the area outside of your territory. They also record that many slimes have survived the attack, though unfortunately, Deltaraa was not one of them.
>Declare war against the Empire
>Confront the Empire for their actions
>Do nothing
>>46850479
>Confront the Empire for their actions
Also, convince our Elven people to return. We let them work for our sister's killers.
>>46850554
can't
>>46850479
>>Declare war against the Empire
Welp, time for murder.
>>46850554
Didn't the Elves go to the Alliance?
>>46850569
They went to the Empire. The Alliance are the orcs, goblins, Giants, Cyclops, Lizardfolk and demons
>>46850596
Ah, I had the two mixed up.
Alright, I'm gonna go to sleep for now. Be sure to keep the thread going.
>>46850684
Goodnight.
If we are going to war then I suggest we start breeding battle Homunculi and ask the Darkhart for help. Not to conquermaybebut to tell everyone to back the fug off.
Late night bump
