This will be a simple suggestion-strategy type of game where you (Those who suggest actions) lead a group of survivors trying to stand, or survive against the hordes of darkness. You will decide which Gods your people will follow, what structures to build, what troops to recruit, who leads, and everything else a ruler would do. You'll have to fight hordes of undead, stave of starvation, and begin the construction of a new world for your people to live in. Now lets get down to the fun part, creating our group.

To get started all you need to do is select a Region below, and then I will write up the first turn.

Spoiler: Region (click to show/hide)

The Shadowed Forest - The Shadowed Forest is an expansive  jungle covering hundreds of leagues of land, and has a large variety of animals, and plants contained within its confines. It will contain vast amounts of lumber for your peoples use, numerous herds of animals to hunt, and numerous other benefits. Even with that though the Forest is plagued by the remnants of undead used by hundreds of Necromancers who have used this land as their home, and they are sure to come hunting you with no one to command them otherwise.

Stone Peaks - The Stone Peaks are expansive, and largely uncharted, and unexplored, meaning much of its riches are yours for the taking if you work hard enough. But beneath the surface, in the caves, and caverns the goblin hordes roam, and hunt for their next meal, while packs of orcs scour the mountain for anything to kill trying to sate their blood-lust.

Savior's Sea - The Savior's Sea is home to hundreds of islands that have never been set foot upon, but their location makes them highly isolated to any other groups that may have survived the Darkness. Here you will be mostly left alone except for the rare Mermen raid, or Frogmen Assaults, but not much space is available to you, so numerous islands will play home to your people.

Spoiler: Combat Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Combat will consist of me rolling opposing D20s with modifiers from Attack, and Defense, the larger the difference between the Attacker, and the Defender the more damage will be dealt, until the unit is completely destroyed, or manages to flee.

There are several damages that can be done, and they are ...
Unit is Destroyed - 6+ points higher then the defender
Defender Routes - 4+ points higher then defender
Unit is damaged - 1+ points higher then defender (Defender gains -1 to all rolls, and next time it is attacked, and the Attacker wins the unit is destroyed.)

((If you have ideas on how to improve this please tell me as this is the only simply way I found to do it.))

Spoiler: More Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Food - Food is gained through hunting, farming, gathering, etc. and is used to feed your populace, and your troops. Hunting, and Gathering only gain 1/2 the amount of Food Farming will, so they are meant only to supplement your food stockpiles in Winter, and times of need. Each unit of Food feeds 100 citizens, or 50 soldiers for one week.

Construction - Construction is the building of structures using some of the materials your people manage to collect. Every structure has varying requirements for its construction, and there are numerous types of materials that may be required to build them. Lumber, and Stone are the main types of resources used in building structures, and vast amounts will be used throughout the game.

Sorry about the lack of rules at the moment, but the majority of the game will be explained at the start of the game as your 'Adviser' (Me) Gives you the run-down of whats going on, and suggests several actions which you don't have to follow.

[adwarf]

After two weeks of travel, down river, and through the sea, your people have finally arrived at an island in Savior's Sea. Here they seek to scratch out a new life, and begin a new with less worry over the forces of Darkness. Many of your people died on the voyage here, either from starvation, or as their ship sank into the ocean, and now only 200 of the original 400 still remain alive. Now it is time to begin the work that must be done to survive.

On the beach people mill about dragging lumber into pile, and organizing crates, and barrels of food as they await your orders. Not far from the beach is a rather wide grassy area, surrounded by forest, and with one side covered by the beach. From the forest you can hear the chirping of  birds, and high above the forest you see a snow capped mountain peak reaching into the sky.

The horizon by the beach bares the marks of five islands, two extremely close, and three far out in the distance.

This will be the beginning to your town, your current duties are to organize people into groups, and begin construction of any buildings you see fit, naming your first town, and naming the island you landed on.

Hunter's Lodge: [1 Wood, 1 Week, Requires 10 People to Build] The Hunter's Lodge is where your peoples' Hunters organize, and prepare for their Hunting Trips as well as they come to skin, and prepare the meat, and hides they get from the animals. [Afterwards 20 People are Required to Hunt, and each week they do hunt this Lodge will Produce 1.5 Food]

Hovels: [2 Wood, 2 Weeks, 30 People To Build] Hovels are where your people will live, and they are required if you wish your people to survive through winter, and manage to survive the numerous illnesses they are sure to encounter. [Houses 50 People, Makes Illness Less Likely, and Death from Hypothermia (Freezing to Death)

Woodcutter's Hut: [1 Wood, 1 Week, 10 People To Build] Here is where your woodcutter's will repair their equipment, prepare trees for usage in construction, and do all actions a woodcutter would require. [Requires 20 People to work, and produces 1 Lumber a Week]

Spoiler: Author's Note (click to show/hide)

I'll make some Hexographer Maps tomorrow, so everything will be a bit more coherent. Any Questions you may have just ask

[Nirur Torir]

Are buildings usable on the week they're built?
Are resources usable on the turn they're gathered?

We have enough food for two weeks. If either of the above are true, we can wait a week for the Hunter's Lodges, and should probably build five Woodcutter's Huts this week. Otherwise, I vote we go 2 Hunter's Lodges/3 Woodcutters' Huts.

[Houses 50 People, Prevents Illness, and Death from Hypothermia (Freezing to Death)

You might want to reword that, unless having a spot on the floor to sleep makes people immune to diseases.

[Phantom of The Library]

We only have 200 people so we only need 4 huts max 

[adwarf]

Are buildings usable on the week they're built? Yes
Are resources usable on the turn they're gathered? As Long as they are in the town you want to use them in

[Evil Marahadja]

>Build One of every building. (We need to start getting resources asap.)

> Search for suituble farming soil.

> Scout the local area

[adwarf]

- Build two Woodcutter's Huts
- Build two Hovels
- Search for Fertile Farmland

Your people set about their work immediately with half of them beginning the construction of hovels, and Woodcutter's Huts that will fill most of your basic needs. Over the next week the Woodcutter's Huts are completed, and the majority of the Hovels are completed, your people say they will be finished by the end of this week. Meanwhile, your search for fertile farmlands goes well when you find that the grasslands near the beach seem to be quite rich, and useful for farming.

Besides those going-ons several of your people have claimed to see boats on the horizon, or going between the closer islands, while even more claim to have seen groups of creatures moving within the forest. If there is something out their you believe the strangeness of your group will hold them at bay for a little while, but eventually they will get used to your presence, and come after you.

Spoiler: Author's Note (click to show/hide)

As you can probably tell you'll gain new structures by building other structures, or discovering new resources. The Larger the construction the longer it will take, so building a wooden keep right now is possible, but it would take several months, a large quantity of lumber, and a large work force to build it.

[adwarf]

Adding a Glossary to the OP for any creatures, or things you discover, so they'll be readily available.

[RulerOfNothing]

Put 40 people on woodcutting, have the hovels finished so our people don't die of exposure, and build a farm and a palisade. Prioritise the construction of the farm. Also call the town "New Hope".

[adwarf]

- Finish Building Hovels
- Build a Farm
- Man the Woodcutter's Huts

Your orders are given, and a large number of men head off to man the woodcutter's huts, and begin producing lumber for your use. Throughout the week the supply of lumber flows in, but is quickly used as the hovels are finished up, and work begins on a farm to supply your people with food. Towards the end of the week your food begins to run low, and you are forced to issue half-rations.

This enforcement may cause riots if it last more than two weeks, and if that happens you won't be able to contain the following chaos that would erupt. Several citizens have expressed an interest to call this new town "New Hope" in commemoration of their survival, and new home.
