Keep the vanilla ones

Use an expanded vocabularly

Start entirely from scratch

Cull the words that don't make sense from vanilla, then add words as we go

Agreed on the templates part; if the new templates are good enough, then the vanilla templates won't be necessary. Thanks for doing the bulk of the work.

Another entity suggestion. I initially planned on having them as a domestic grazer, but they don't look half-bad as a 'beginner's civ'.

• A sentient race of grazers with natural rock/gemstone armor.
• Slow but strong natural attacks and movement.
• Their 'armor' does not heal (ever), so injuries are permanent.
• Would have multiple castes with different types of armoring.
• A highly rigid society, with many caste-dependent entity positions.
• Gemstoners would naturally be the part of the nobility, sedimentary rock would be workers, etc.
• Could have rudimentary earth magic, such as blasting everyone in the vicinity with cave-in dust.

If I'm starting this, and I'm not willing to get it going right, then why bother?

I like this idea. It's neat. Truthfully, I would like to have at least a couple civs, at least a dozen critters, and a hand full of basic materials to get the world going in some kind of direction. I enjoyed watching the first thread, but it seems to me the world was overly bare for an overly large amount of time.

Edit: Egg-laying civilizations can apparently consume their own eggs.

We could do this right now. Do you want me to get started on them?

That would be great. I have creatures partially covered for the moment... And I hate to be that guy and give you the "boring" stuff, but could you make some inorganics/plants?
Edit: I have a few basic material templates, if you want?

[Urlance Woolsbane]

Are we aiming to make all civs playable?


If we're going with the "extradimensional beings invade" scenario, how about an evil civ that's harnessed, to some extent, the things from beyond? Existential quislings, as it were.

I don't know if I want all civs playable. Any major pros or cons one way or another?
Also, the composite creature idea would be really cool for the extradimensional invasion scenario

I dunno what scenario to go with, honestly.

[Bearskie]

I feel that most should be made playable. Gives more variety. Even if there aren't any significant gameplay differences, players will still be able to choose which creature they like best instead of being shoehorned into one race.

True.

Do you want my basic templates? There's nothing game altering.

[Urlance Woolsbane]

I don't know if I want all civs playable. Any major pros or cons one way or another?

The greatest benefit I can think of, in addition to the added immersion, is the ability to really affect the world. One's efforts wouldn't necessarily be one-sided.

The only downside that I can think of would be the extra effort needed to make each race fit for fort-mode.

Of course, the more alien civs might understandably be off-limits

[Urdothor]

I suppose whether a civilization should be user playable is up to it's maker, and I suppose, vote by contributors, with a majority vote taking precedence. Anything playable, but extremely alien, should have a play guide written up.

[Bearskie]

Yes to the templates. Let's get this thing started.

[Urdothor]

Here ya go. Since I'd like to get my inorganics in place first:

Nothing brand new. The metal templates a bit nerfed, but it's very similar to vanilla.

And then there were two.

The young Bear God looked upon the God Urd's work - a shapeless lump of rock, suspended in a vast void of nothingness. It was far from complete. To hope that this may match the Elder God's creation may be foolish, but the fledgling world showed promise. Even as he contemplated, he could sense the God Urd hard at work creating the laws of the world that was to be. A complex process of numbers and symmetry.

It was well within the Bear God's capabilities, but it was a dull and thankless task. For now, he was restricted by what had already been put in place. Two laws - of metal and stone. Enough to tell a story of the birth of this world.


At the dawn of time, four basic stones were moulded from the earth.

Thanks dude. I know it wasn't uber challenging or anything. It's just nice to have some one take the load off me a bit. I was tempted to go the way of Halfling and make the first stone "rock."

Edit: I think having different origins of the starting things will stop it from feeling stale.

Double Edit: Going to include your stuff under the raws.

[Bearskie]

^ Urp, I forgot to replace all the stone and metal templates with your versions (_URD). Sorry.

Spoiler: More on what I added (click to show/hide)

Don can be used to smelt both Aeron and Gargon. Aeron is a lightweight blue metal that is suitable for edged weapons and armor. Gargon is a dense black metal, great for blunt weapons and armor. They can both be used to make the same things, since I didn't want to confuse new players.

Fielish is this world's equivalent of adamantite. Because fielish is always at a freezing temperature, it is able to withstand the intense heat of the magma sea. Pure fiel strands can be extracted from fielish rocks and crafted into wafers, giving you a metal with immensely strong material properties.

But I wanted to avoid making it as explicitly overpowered as adamantine, which always peeved me as essentially an 'IWINLOL' button. Therefore, using fiel has a price. Fiel metal is even colder than fielish, coming in at -550 Celsius, and most beings wielding fiel weapons will get their hands 'mangled beyond recognition'. I haven't tested extensively to see if the frostbite eventually kills, but if it does, it'll probably take more than a year to do so.

Magicite... I originally tinkered with making it diggable (and blasting the miner with pure magical power), but eh, decided against it. It's a very nice purple color now.

The Bear God was awaiting his chance to practice his craft. He craved for the creation of life - to see the lights of a billion souls flicker across this realm. Yet the laws were still not in place, and the Bear God was becoming restless. He was never one to dawdle.

It did not take long for the strings of creation to wind and flow through him, and the Bear God began crafting his own laws.

Here are some templates for plant and wood. You can call for soft, medium or hard plant/wood templates, and I've also greatly simplified the physical property values. Vanilla's might be more realistic, but since we have the opportunity to rework the templates I'm going for simplicity instead.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

All impact-shear-torsion-bending-compressive values and solid densities have been standardized as follows:

Soft plant - 10000/10000/15000 ~ 500
Medium plant - 30000/30000/5000 ~ 1000
Hard plant - 50000/50000/1000 ~ 1500

Soft wood - 40000/40000/1000 ~ 1000
Medium wood - 70000/70000/500 ~ 2000
Hard wood - 100000/100000/100 ~ 3000

Think of soft plants as mushy fruit texture, medium plants as your normal plants, hard plants like dense vines.
Soft wood are twig-like, medium wood is generic wood, hard wood are really strong fantasy-esque woods with properties approaching that of stone.

Also, I've left out [STRUCTURAL_PLANT_MAT] from the plant templates, so that they could be used for non-plants like fruit and whatnot. So remember to define it if you need when using it in your local plant raws.

So, who wants to make some PLANTS?
