Welcome back, Utther! I hope your vacation went well! We are all glad to see you again!Answer to prayers:Lizardmen:
Your creator Azem was the one to name you. The naming convention of other races is not meant to create a divide, but if you wish to have a similar name, you can call yourselves the Kaag. That is, unless your creator has any objection.
Yaag:
Every species in the nation was created to be suited for a specific purpose. The Saag were given strength, the Maag dexterity, you received Intelligence and the Lizardmen, now called Kaag, were given empathy. Hating them will not benefit anyone. You should rather help them find the best way to use their abilities for the nation. When something is wrong, the best course of action is to find a way to fix the problem, not to grow resentment towards it. I will bring a change to the nation that will allow this kind of reasoning to be applied to the society.
Maag Council-member:
That is indeed a problematic situation. Do not fear, I will apply a solution to this problem. Thank you for bringing up this to me. Be sure to notify me of any other problems you might find in the future.
Listen to more prayer. Also return to visit the nation to chat and help. Use this occasion to announce that the system will be improved again soon. Appear from time to time in small villages without notifying anyone, to chat for a short time with the locals. Tell them that I will do short surprise visits from time to time in addition to the longer ones.
Spend 2E to make the beta ants even smarter after Izgamlo have done the same to the population.This is the best kind of competition, don't you agree Izgamlo?Enact two major changes to the Aag society: The first one is that records are to be made of every permanent citizen, citizens will also receive a piece of identification. Using this, people should register when voting, ensuing that no one will be allowed to vote multiple times. Teach them how to create paper from the sandcotton plant if they do not already have a mean of producing it. If this is not possible, modify every plant of sandcotton to have the required components to make paper. Paper will be used for the records and identification papers. The second change is to allocate a time for the population to visit their local council to propose ideas to improve the system. The great council will have similar events, but less often and of greater scale, as people will travel the country to propose their changes. Small scale changes will be the duty of local councils, while the changes that affect the entire nation will be brought to the great council. Council members will debate on whenever these changes are to be applied or not. Any change that will significantly impact the nation will have to be brought to me by using a specific group prayer, which will be taught to every council. New members of the council will be taught how to perform it by the other council members. These group prayers will be prioritized, being brought to me even if I am not listening to prayers.
Inform the population that the Lizardmen will now be called the Kaag from now on. Encourage the Yaag species privately to not develop an elitist sentiment, as they need the other species to help them.
Order the army to begin the mass fortification of the villages and the territory. Self-sufficient forts are to be built all over the desert, and are to be guarded by a permanent force. When choosing their location, prioritize to place them around villages, more often than not in the direction of any potential threat, and then in any strategic position.[/b]
After that, appear again to the nation:I have enacted more defensive measures. Expect more in the future, as some nations have declared their hostility towards us. I want you to be ready in case of a full-scale war. I will see if I can defuse the situation with the human kingdom and the new kingdom. In the meantime, I encourage you to strengthen your alliance with the saplings, and with anyone who you deem to be a good candidate for an alliance. I believe in all of you. We will prevail, even in dark times such as these.Inform Aag historians that the current state of global warfare is to be called The First Divine Wars. Future large scale conflicts of similar nature will follow the same naming convention.Visit the king of the new kingdom:
It is sad that we had to resort to war. I come here to negotiate an end to this conflict. What we ask is that you no longer attempt to seize our lands and our desert. In return, we promise that we will not push our counter-offensive beyond these lands that belong to us. Breaking the terms of this treaty will result in full scale warfare between our respective nations. What do you say of this proposal?
Visit Fredrick, king of the human kingdom. Use 1P to make my entry more dramatic:
We have instituted this ban because your god refused to respect my rights over my creation. If he promise to stop encroaching in my territory and meddle with what isn't his business, I will gladly remove this ban. Otherwise, know that your menaces mean nothing against a god. Have you not ever learned respect, and that angering a god is one sure way to misery? This offensive of yours will fail, just like the new kingdom failed against us. Also know that by banning my worship, you limit your chances to progress scientifically. Enjoy becoming irrelevant to the rest of the world. That is, if you insist on pursuing these actions, of course. I have no interest in warfare but if you insist on forcing my hand, you will get more than you bargained for.
Give my army any knowledge I can get of their enemies' armies without spending resources.To patronius:So much for being the champion of free speech, patronius. The political motivation behind your actions are painfully easy to read. Anyways, what I told to your favorite puppet was also addressed to you. Do you agree to my conditions, or are we really going to have to waste mortal lives on this petty matter?((I tried to add some spoilers to reduce the size of my post. None of it is secret so feel free to look at it. The thing I mentioned to patronius is in the peace negotiation spoiler.))
