GUys, keep in mind that on the grand scheme of earth, Microbes arose early, then stayed like that for a billion or so years. If you could compress earth's histroy into a day, microbes woudl rule for 16 hours. I think more. By comparison Dinosaurs holdswayy for about a half an hour. Humans are a few minutes.

Indeed.
Granted, we have no idea how long each turn is...and it would be REALLY boring to direct the growth of different kinds of microbes for a hundred turns or whatever before getting to the rest, then having entire civilizations fall in under a turn.

Yes, but just keep in mind we should keep progress of the microbes up.

I'll do my best, but A. they're losing the limelight, and B. I'm more of a zoologist than a microbiologist.

There is one source of materials that each and every one of us has overlooked when providing benefits to these growing species.

Lord Draken reaches into the cells that comprise himself and from them pulls their DNA coding to survive in oxygen rich environments and grants each of the races this resisitance to the gas as he starts to turn the Sulfur Dioxide into Ozone and removes the sulfur to Tranquality where he stores the sulfur in a solid mass.

*Draken's DNA grants increase oxygen resistance to all currently alive races*

[GreatWyrmGold]

Azeroth will call Draken a cheater and threaten to make poripinnans sentient.

That sulphur is important you know. Some species are eating it. Also, it's an important antigreenhouse gas.

Faced with the increasing dangers of the surface life, the algae start to clump together, and also gain a much stronger cellular wall. They attach themselves to the rocks along the coast, but even to other organisms.

((Also, did we almost skip a stage of evolution again. I believe it was supposed to go like this.
Normal cells-->Clumps of cells-->Blobs with limited specialization--> plastic bag organisms-->"modern day" multicellular organism))

More! More parasites!
 
Parasites got to be simple compared to the thing they bring down though.

less than a second in fact. Reported to the entirety of the Earth's existence:
0h00: clumps of rock begin to gather
0h08: Earth is formed (still a lava ball), and 1 second later is hit by what will give the moon.
0h16: the aftermath of moon's birth end.
0h50: water come.
1h00: first rains.
1h20: life appear, in the form of archeobacterias (super primitive bacterias).
3h25: proper bacterias appear.
around 5h00-5h45: photosynthesis.
13h00: oxygen levels rise to significant levels.
21h00: plants appear. Still unicellular.
21h06: first multicellular organisms.
21h22: fishes.
21h40: mosquitoes.
22h20: reptilians.
22h50: dinosaurs and mammals appear.
23h40: Apes appear.
23h59 and 30 seconds: Man appear.
23h59 and 59 9/10 seconds: civilization appear.

This explain why games like this works on a reverse-logarithmic scale.

I'm not sure what you mean by "plastic bag organisms," but the poripinnans are nothing more than sponges which use their "pumps" to move, so they're pretty simple.

It's a stage of evolution when organisms had an inside, and an outside but no inbetween. (ak, no internal organs., Just a single membrane. In effect, the creature looks like a plastic bag) I just couldn't remember the proper name for it.

That's how I visualized the macro-phages to tell the truth.

Azeroth will call Draken a cheater and threaten to make poripinnans sentient.

Support by threatening to make Yisfjlelh sentient as well.

Macrophages are unicellular. "plastic bag" organisms are pluricellular, akin to jellyfishes.

I love it how my suggestions are always under the radar.

Ah. Okay then.

Macrophages sound unicellular.

Oh dear lord...we're not even to real tissues and we're a step away from having interspecies war...
