Wow, nice. Don't think you can make stone saws. But once we have access to even copper we can start to cut even rock.

[Maxinum McDreich]

Righto. Till we get saws, a lot of our stuff's gonna be a bit... clumsy. Half-log shields are gonna be ruddy heavy. But hey, should save lives against archers. They'll get a good test in the practice combat. Large elven archer division there.
I'd imagine you'd have to drop them for melee at the moment, though.

Actually... screw the shields. I'mma make moving wooden walls. Since their purpose is just to stop archers from killing us. Gonna edit post.

Next turn I'll be focussing on finding clay, heating it up and making clay ovens (along with house building, ofcourse). We can make forges and whatnot from there.

See, I am now totally happy I decided to focus entirely on the economic side of things ^^.



Oh yeah... my 'see below' comment referred to the dragcart. Forgot to mention that XD.

[Edit: Welcome: Squad shields. You can BET plenty of 'formations' and strategies will arise from these. I'd put one in now, but I'mma be roleplay like and wait till the practice combat is over so I could atleast say that Mick has some combat experience and thinks this may work ]

[Ashsaber]

The fact that you've gotten into the game brings a nerdsmile to my face.

@Maxinum McDreich
I may have met my text wall match. :3

Duly noted.
Also, "and associated skills" is too ambiguous (der). Either leave it blank (no skills) or choose something concrete. I'm pretty lenient with skillsets and what they're capable of doing so don't fuss over it. :p

@Everyone else
Does the images show up okay for you guys? Not like there's anything interesting to see yet, but..

@More notes
Ooh boy. I'm gonna have so much fun with those shields. hehehehe.

 Once upon a time I heard this phrase called "mending fences". I'm not quite sure what a fence is, but I assume it's not something we want broken.
 So that's what Mick did. Mend fences. With the last alive scout, something about "treating the dead with respect" or whatnot. I guess he's a warrior type? Honorable burial don't come to us worker types easily, y'know.

Mulling aside, the scout was...creepily nonchalant with his two dead friends. Waved it off as "risk on the job." All he asked for was some more rations (which he got) and he left on his way. Said we were fine dumping the corpses into the river or something.

...don't know about the rest of you but a scouting party with no cohesion is...not good.

Last week we have designed a Tent to sleep in. Research for summoning is going steady. I have this great idea for my printers to make some books, we need the entertainment. The tents should be finished for all of us this week, I hope so.

@Rolepgeek
The deal isn't really "how do we do it at all" but more "How do we do it with what we have".
And currently we don't have much.

@cheesemcmuffin88
I'm not distinguishing between genders. Including it is fine but it won't be reflected in the update.

@All
So yes, that brings up a good point. For those of you wondering why we're so...badly teched, it's because we don't have the tools and need to improvise.
The tech level for the rest of the world is...somewhere in the high medieval times, with a smattering of magic mixed in. standard rpg fare. Once trade becomes available things should be easier.

The whole "explain in an idiot resistant way" becomes a lot more relevant once you start introducing tech that's not available by default; for now it's just "how to improvise".

[Rolepgeek]

The first "beer" is believed to have been made by accident. Rain water fermenting gathered grains in a bucket/basket. It wasn't really all that good, but it's what it is.

Banging rocks together to get sharp rocks(use a really hard rock against a slightly softer rock) for knives, and using carved(or uncarved) wood for handles with animal sinew to keep them together isn't too hard. Neither is getting said sharp rock and a larger wood piece for a handle to make axes. And of course, hide shields, or wood ones if you got enough of it and a patient carver. Traps can be made from animal sinews, vines, dug up with "shovels" or even just sticks or hands. Takes a delicate hand, perhaps, and you need to know where to put it, but the tech's not hard. Making non-lethal animal traps and training them is less simple, but certainly possible. We may not have the extra resources to train them yet, on the other hand.

But yeah. It's not too hard to get sharp stones, which lets you deal with wood easier, which lets you get better stones and food, which lets you build bigger projects like boats or wooden huts, which lets you get more food and/or not die from exposure, which lets you try out new things, allows for trade and war, and eventually allows you to make fires hot enough in stone furnaces(just because you can't cut stone evenly doesn't mean you can't find stones that are about the right size and stuff clay in the cracks) to smelt ore. With someone smart and tough(so they can withstand the difficulty of being the first person to do smithingness), who figures out what is less likely to burn, or uses long stone bits, and a big heavy rock hammer to shape the metal, you now have metal. Not much, but you have it, hurray! Which lets you get more. And maybe the other part of the copper-tin combo, and now someone makes bronze. Eventually, you get hit enough furnaces to smelt iron, and when you put carbon in that, you get steel. Tada, medieval. And also, clay/pottery.

Although, large nets aren't easy to make until we have easy access to rope. We'll need better farming for that, if we really need anything for it at all.

Turn 4
Early Spring, Week 4
=====================
Arrivals

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 How do they keep finding us? Is it because of all the campfires we make?
 This week 155 people made our...uh..."town", home. A hundred fifty five.
 I need a drink.
 First up was Mammoth Charge, who I kept on miscalling as "Elephant Charge" for some reason. A very militarily focused group of avians. Supposedly they're from the northlands, where the Avians are constantly skirmishing with each other for local resources, but that's probably just a rumor.
 Second is Green Beard. Smaller group, but worships a lesser deity from the swampland. Don't remember the god's name.
 Then came an odd mix of Neko and Goblin. Guess they met each other en route. Were they running from something? I can't imagine such a large group just randomly leaving a town willy nilly...
 Nekos were lead by a "kittehs". which is oddly plural for a single person. But then once I called the name all the swordNekos answered, so I'm a little worried.
 Rolep's got some brewers with him. If we had anything to brew with I'd love to have some good goblin stuff. Not as strong as Dwarven brew but tastier.

Kaian-a-coel's Unit

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 For whatever reason Kaian declared that we should "hunt in moderation" and avoid taxing the local wildlife too hard.
 And then his elven archers left and brought back some Moose types, citing the immediate need for leather. Not sure how I feel about that.
 The Elven orchardeers weren't altogether happy about being told that planting trees takes a long time, and we're too unstable to be making orchards right now, so they went and sulked among the fruit trees in the forest. They still brought back good stuff though, so I'm not complaining.
 Everyone else spent all their time in the tent building effort so we can have some kind of roof over our heads. It's a little strange how we've had nothing but good weather this month but I guess that won't last, now that I mention it.

Keeper's Unit

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Farmers went and farmered. They made three pretty large fields and planted them. They also tended to the current farms. A major point of note: The farms are set up a fair distance from camp so we don't have to rip them out when we invariably build over it.
 The gardens are fine though. They're small enough.
 Axemen went and lumbered. Due to the fact that we don't have a good way of crossing the water they spent most of the week harvesting from the small forest land south of the camp. Until Mick came up with his dragcart and a few were made for trial runs. A bit crude but gets the job done.
 Like all builders everywhere, Keeper's cats are busy building tents. It's a little slower going since the Nekos tend to be...less focused some times, but not by enough to matter.
 What I wasn't sure on was the sending of the weaver and clothemaker to do some hunting. I mean, yeah, they're natural hunters (not in the same scale as Avians but still good) but oh. oh. that's. ow.
 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 One of them tried to bring down a Moose type. It did the most epic roll on the ground (with the neko latched onto its back) and almost stomped the poor guy to death. one Avian -Kwaa's?- made a fast Diving Charge and offed it just in time. Whew.
 Guy's getting a scolding now though; something about not waiting for support. Guess they're not loner-type nekos...or they're more embarrassed at needing to be assisted by an air unit. Hard to tell.

Sergei's Unit

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Major breakthrough. His Lumberjacks and Builders spent the entire week (along with as many of the unpartied as he could round up) building this underground food storage building. I called it a granary but he was pretty adamant on calling it a "Root Cellar". Sounds better, I have to admit.
 The weaponsmiths spent the went making knives out of the flint they got and then made some needles out of the bone of hunted animals. Why?
 Oh, that was why. They're making armor out of the leather we have.
 When did we tan those? Oh well. Guess the unpartied took care of it.
 It's still crude but in the process of being refined. Once we get better leather they'll end up being better, I guess; what did he call them? Jerkin?
 So they're...uh.
 "Sergei's Jerkin" sounds potentially problematic.
 I'm just gonna call them Leather Armor for now.
 And their mages are assisting Promtho's on the whole Familiar business. It's going pretty well but without more (and more powerful) spell books it's slow going.

Mick

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Fishermen fished, smoked fish.
 Gatherer and Orchardeers helped Sergei out on his Root Cellar. Nothing to see here.
 His builders started building the Commune, a giant round building with some rather dubious looking roof. But it can house a lot of us, and it's not going to. This building will serve as the Center of the Village for the moment as well as housing the party leaders until they have other arrangements.
 His builders also devised this...holdable wall of a shield. He's calling it the squad shield. It's like someone blew out everything on a house except a wall and was too embarassed to leave it standing, so they took it with them. Holy hell this thing is huge. It needs at least four humans to even -move- that thing.
 It offers effectively perfect protection against archers and can be repositioned, despite its weight. If the Nekos would stop climbing on it.
 Also the lumberjacks built the dragcart. Which is a simple, crude, and very welcome design. Makes our orchardeers and gatherer's jobs so much easier.

Kwaa-naa

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 The...rather proud Avian folk proposed making their home styled tree houses in the forest, with the obvious issue of there not being any forest within our town area. So instead of actually building the house in the trees they're taking the time to figure out how to make it work.
 One of the major things that happened for Kwaa was, besides the whole deal with the scouts, the attempted catching of the horse types. Unforunately the attempt wasn't successful, and by the time trapper immigrants came in the horse types had moved on. It was a good attempt though; apparently the horse types weren't fazed by a single Avian, so all of Kwaa-naa's hunters made a unified parallel charge while screeching at the top of their lungs. we heard it back at camp, for gods' sake.
 Kwaa's lumberjacks also spent some time to build charging lances for their spearmen. For the record,  Avian lancers are easily the most terrifying force to fight against, and as such most civilized armies have some form of countermeasure in the event they face one. Considering Avians have been seeing quite a lot of success as mercenaries, this means every army lately carries some form of anti air equipment.
 Considering how much Avians can charge for their support that anti air must be pretty bad.
 Where was I? Ah, yeah.
 Kwaa's got lancers now and they're trying to improve on the sharpened wood they got. The whole thing with the scout blew over; considering we disposed the corpses there shouldn't be any problems.

 Tent building for almost everyone.
 Mages kept with their research. Considering how little they have to work with the progress is pretty good.
 Maybe if they found some means to make more spellbooks. I'd imagine the process is a bit harder than just making a normal book.
 ~~~
 Also their Printers made some short stories or whatever written in blood. One of the Printers tried to use an Avian feather as a quill but blood doesn't work that way.
 Still, hell of a thing to read on your free time. a comedy written entirely in blood.
 I guess it still hasn't sunk in yet.

Mammoth Charge

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 ElephantMammoth Charge seemed to also be from a warrior class family, 'cuz the first thing he did was conduct research on how to make the already deadly avian charge better. Might've been kicked out of his hometown for being too awesome.
 He wasn't exactly happy when he found out that we had no materials to make weapons or armor with, but improvised with what we have. His unit are making Sergei's leather armor, and very crude sword and spears of his own design. They hold up under pressure fine though.
 Also he inherited Sergei's spirit, considering they started drilling the instant they got set up.
 Were they mercenaries? 'cuz drilling at every opportunity is a pretty mercenary thing to do.

 With a name like that you'd expect him to be a dwarf. No, the guy's human from somewhere down south. Lots of swamp in the region, apparently.
 ANyways they seem pretty self-contained. Making their own brand of shelter and...weaving baskets.
 In retrospect the fact that they can make baskets is really the most powerful advantage they can give us.
 And their fishermen fished. Wait, they had fishermen with them?

Rolep

 Lastly, our goblin buddies.
 I talked to their brewers earlier and they're pretty keen on getting to work once a brewery gets built. Unfortunately they're the only ones that can build one to their specifications, and of course we don't really have anything to store water with; the river is within acceptable walking distance anyways.
 Their gatherers are going around and searching exclusively for grains. Guess they have better eyes than I did since they found some when I wasn't looking. They found some near the rock I'm sitting on, too. Goblins have pretty good eyes.
 *SNAP* *MEWROW!*
 Uh. 'scuse me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 So apparently Rolep told his guys to set up animal traps for everyone else. I'm assuming he means "everyone not involved in tasks should build and set traps" but apparently one overzealous trapper decided to literally set traps for the entire village.
 Fortunately he stopped, but not before one of the traps snagged a Neko.
 We stopped her from ripping his face off though, so it's all good. Kinda.
 Good thing we don't all have tents right now.
 Where was I? uh...
 Oh! right. the carpenters. Apparently they were told to "use stones to hack at wood" and nothing else. Now, goblins usually aren't know for their ingenuity or assertiveness (except when raiding villages) so I expected these carpenters to just, y'know, throw stones at a tree and call it a day.
 Nope. These guys work hard and fast. They got almost the same amount of lumbering done as our established teams. Skill, right there.
 And finally the not-overly zealous trappers(and company) managed to snag some small game with their crude traps. props to them for quick thinking on the fly.

 Late at night Kaian's writers have been telling some good stories. I guess being long lived elves automatically make their stories more epic. I can't sleep. god dammit.

===========================
 End of Week 4
===========================
I think I'm either coming really close to the character limit on a single post or breaking some record on spoiler tag usage. Anyways.

Recruitment for Mock Combat is Open until Monday evening
Submit the following:
Number of squads
Squad composition
  format: Name Weapon Size Pro (ex. Spear 5 2, so 2 professionals in the group bolstered by 3 militia. Spear 5 0 would be all militia. etc.)
Squad Combinations (optional), with a name different from the normal squad names.
  format: Squad Names -> Combined Name.

So it'd end up looking something like this:

+=
Squads: 4.
Composition: A Spear 5 0, B Spear 5 0, C Archer 3 7, D Archer 0 10.
Total 13 17.
A C -> Combat Unit 1, B D -> Combat Unit 2.
+=

As well as the General Orders the units should take.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is there a character limit for posts? 'cuz this is hitting 20k.
Also, let me know if there's any errors or points of contest.
I'll probably find a different method of update in the future. Yeesh.
