The year is 100, the year of the Movement, or so you have named it. Your tribe was one of the few to move, many others where killed in the torrential rains and terrible storms that drove you from you homeland, but you still have 20 goblins ready to serve. You are their leader, [NAME], and the tribe is named [TRIBE_NAME]. While you ran from the storms, you walked to exhaustion, then walked even more. By the time you reached the river, you where convinced that you had gone far enough. So here you settled, a forest to one side, a river to the other, mountain peaks visible far off in the distance, and behind you plains stretch into the distance. The forest is a menacing place, and you can only see a few feet inside. The river seems to be perpetually fogged, and across you can barely see across to the other bank. The river seems to be around half a mile wide. Deciding this is a good place, you found [SETTLEMENT_NAME].

Grey is unexplored, the mountains are assumed, you can only see peaks. You should be able to figure out the other colors.

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

You have four actions per turn and each turn equals one month. The more goblins you assign to a task the faster, or better, it gets done.
Female goblins have a chance to get pregnant every month. Birth (or miscarriage) happens after 6 months. Infants take 1 year to age into children, children take 1 year to become adults. Average lifespan is 10 years.
Adult goblins eat 1 food every month, children eat .2 food per month, infants eat none.
The game will be starting as soon as we have a Tribe name, Settlement name, and Leader name. If you wish, you can also name the river, forest, mountains and whatever else.

I think we should call our leader Two Oceans Marauder and set out to found a continent-spanning empire like Temujin.  Also, try to become a lich or vampire so we don't eventually die of old age and have our legacy ripped apart by mismanagement by our squabbling incompetent sons.

[Scelly9]

Read the directions, and try again.

Name:Dornt
Tribe Name: Gobrillii
Settlement Name: Gobria

[Scelly9]

The settlement is quickly named Gobria, a fitting name for the tribe. Several tribe members seem to be worried about the forest, and they say they hear growling from inside. For now, the camp is quiet, but there is talk of shortages coming in the next month if you do not gather more. It is your job as leader to keep the goblins happy, and decide what they must do to prosper. Good luck, Dornt, leader of the Gobrillii and chief of Gobria.

((Four actions for the first month, this is a suggestion game, so jump on in!))

[GreatWyrmGold]

Send 8 men hunting, 3 men and 3 women gathering, and have the other able-bodied adults scrounge for materials to make weapons and make them. Any hunters who wish to can join the weapon-making group.

[Scelly9]

You send goblins hunting, but the forest seems to be much less inhabited than you previously thought. One of them gets a rabbit, bringing home 5 food. Another finds a surprise. A bear charges out of the forest, and nearly kills him. He manages to get away before it does any damage, but is shaken. The gatherers have more luck, bring back 9 food. The weapon makers appropriate one of the knives and manage to create a spear, a club, and two knives. Several goblins are complaining of cold and lack of shelter.

Spears, knives, clubs, and other weapons increase the chance of your goblins getting game. If one is used by the makers, it is unusable by the hunters.

[evilcherry]

Repeat last month. We need tools for everyone before going on.

[Scelly9]

The hunters are more successful this time, bring back several rabbits for a total of 10 food. The bear doesn't return, luckily, but the hunters are still on edge. The gatherers hit the motherload. A large patch of berries is found in the forest, and picking it brings back 10 food. It should grow back, with time. The weapon makers do well again, making 2 knives, a club, and a spear. More goblins are complaining of the weather, and by the looks of the weather, it will be getting much colder soon. However, a boon strikes the camp, two of the female goblins are pregnant!

Just a note - Various groups will do better if more specifically instructed (Have the weapon makers make spears, or have the hunters hunt the bear or something.)

[evilcherry]

9 hunt using spears clubs and knives. 5 collect berries and also forage sturdy leaves.
Have the pregnant 2 do light collecting work/general helping out, and other 4 start felling trees and making shelters.

[Scelly9]

The hunters have a lot of luck in the forest this month, mostly. They brought back a boar, and a lot of rabbits, totaling 14 food! However, another of the hunters was not so lucky, and was mauled by a boar while he tried to stab it. His effectiveness will be reduced for anything requiring walking or running. The berry collectors find nothing, apparently the frost that is now appearing killed the berries before they where ready to pick. The tree fellers try and tackle a large tree, but can't without tools. They do manage to take down a few saplings, and built a large lean-to with the leaves that the other collected.
It is now winter. You can see snow back in the distance, but nothing has hit your camp yet.

You still have 4 idle goblins from those actions.

[GreatWyrmGold]

The pregnant women can teach the child stuff.
The baby can stay quiet.

...Still two more, actually. Have them help the stone-finder.
