This feels like an SMBC comic or something, we're a council discussing the future of our caveman civilization.

Well, not so much the future of the civilization as the future of the poor sad bastard heroic explorers we're eventually going to sacrifice to the unknown in an orgy of violence send to expand our knowledge of the world around us.

Deciding the future would involve more rumination on how we're going to ruthlessly rape the land of its virgin resources (and/or virgins, really) respond to what those damn stupid saps brave scouts run into face first carefully investigate and catelog. Wait, I think something went wrong with that last one...

Of course, the only actual decision to make is just how hard we pillage the ever-loving fu- ah. Wait... uh... Is. Something. How we respond, right. And won't really know that 'till we have a target actually learn more. Or something. KILLFRENZYKILLFRENZYKILLFRENZY

Just a note, Boksi, please go ahead and double post if you have the last one in the thread when an update is ready. Editing your last post to include the update leaves us with no notification that it happened.

Agreed.

How un-DeGaulle of you.  The DeGaulle way of doing things is "Spit at that tub I haven't used since moving in, grab some wine and drink the bottle for breakfast."  :P

Alright, here's the update. Didn't intend to take quite this long, especially for this short update, but it's not like I can do anything about it now.

Anyway, we start building a Village Hall, the smallest of the administration building line. It increases the maintenance costs of our city and increases crime as well, but gives a free specialist!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then we develop music.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And dance. Now we just need to research Personal Adornment and we can invent disco!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The gatherer finishes the first part of the path.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We invent ritualism, the first religious tech in the game. We could change our religious civic from Irreligion to Folklore now, but I decide against it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently we're not the second most cultured civilization in the world anymore...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We invent cultural identity: There's us and them, and we're better than them so we should kill them and steal their stuff. By the way, the elder council will increase our science output by more than five beakers.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The trail is finished. I switched the order of carving and skinning around because we don't have the resources to benefit from skinning.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And here we research carving.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And here's the finished Special Stone Workshop providing us with stone. In case you're wondering why it took so long after we finished the path, it's definitely not because I misclicked like an idiot. Definitely not.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Geen heads out to hunt and spots his first victim.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And captures it! That's great, that is! I don't do anything with the bird yet.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

He then kills another eagle.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And then he spots a Neanderthal! No doubt the same one that killed MonkeyHead! The coward retreats rather than face Geen, however.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And finally...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)



So the question is, what do we do with the bird? We have several options. We can use him to build the Myth of Birds, which provides +1 beaker of science. We can use him to build the Song of the Sky, which also gives a beaker of science and is a prerequisite for building the Nazca Lines. Or we can use him as a military standard, which increases the experience of most units built in the city. There's also the option of using him for a small food and production boost or a small culture boost, but those options aren't as good.

Right, I'm gonna take a shower and grab some breakfast, then I'll get another update up.

Damn, my sleep schedule is seriously messed up right now.

Song of the Sky, unless Myth of Birds adds more bonuses or is much sooner.  We might as well get a prereq as well as the one beaker.

This, definitely. We need to build the Nazca Lines so that even if we lose, we'll be able to confuse the inferior civilizations that don't die into believing we had the wisdom of aliens or something.

Why in the world do you guys want something that is functionally identical to Song of the Sky, but doesn't give us Nazca Lines?
