It feels so strange not to need to price check half the stuff that rolls through OOC

A few idealistic characters? Wonder how it'll turn out this time around

IcyTea31: "...20 YG points that Eid will have his creations covertly terrorized and/or directly attacked before Tick 6."

AbstractTraitorHero: "...200 billion* yg points that vir will try and stop that from happening." (* Presumably a raw number, hinting at a log10ed value of approximately 11.3 YG points)
        Stirk: "50 says your attempts only serve to make the conflict more bloody."

Ama: "...20 YG points on a godly war happening before Tick 4."
        IcyTea31: "...20 against a godly war happening before Tick 4."

The Humans where universally as vanilla as possible and caused by Andres

The Humans in YG2 could naturally do fire magic and were 30cm (1 yard) taller on average than real life humans.

So i guess i can join now?

A magic system.
Gifting technology too advanced for the  current tech age. I.e, computers in the bronze age.
Gifting technology too advanced for the current age but flavouring it in such a way that its availability makes sense. I.e extremely basic gunpowder weapons due to a chemistry tradition and a history of wars with the northern barbarians....in the stone age.

Question: 1pop. worth of humans is 1.2 right? This is the average of the 3 castes' cost per pop.

Pricecheck for opposing any such attempts (execution is hard when everyone has a gun).

Including the magic system? Also I was referring to weapons such as fire lances, which would be quite difficult to carry around.

It's a slippery slope, because someone will try to innovate on them, making personal firearms.
And then it just turns into the wild west, and I don't join fantasy games to play a western.

The concept of the firelances isn't all bad, it's just that it could slingshot the weapons into the musket era. And I hate the musket era (let's stand straight and shoot at each other, literally the worst thing to do when being fired upon).

Yes, my god is incredibly naïve. He has plenty of time to break.

This may sound dumb but what exactly do you do for making races and such and how do they apply in the game.

To be fair, introducing actual firearms almost always drastically changes the world, especially when we are starting out in the Iron Age. You would probably be better off just using Magitech-nobody cares if magic shoots fire and lead out of a stick after all :p.

Technically, we can choose what genre it is. And the musket era is pretty fun! That is a pretty simplistic view of the linear tactics used. They did have skirmishers who used cover and such as modern tactics dictate, but they are generally vulnerably to cavalry and easily lose ground to the advancing lines. And that ignores all the other units, such as artillery and cavalry, who didn't stand in lines to get shot at :p. They do call them Napoleonic tactics for a reason, and he is known as a military genius for a reason.

We have a race making tool, thanks to KJP's coding skills. Basically describe the race that you want. Then choose the tier (Prices in the Book) that you want, and then choose traits to fill up the amount of points you get. Then you are done! The Elves and Dwarves you complained about earlier are two examples :p.

Ya, fair enough. Still if we had magic sticks with the exact same availability and power as guns, there isn't really much of a difference. Hell, I could just straight up call them guns.

EDIT: rudimentry gunpowder weaponry is just one tech level up. Very interesting.

2 appeals for ability changes allowed on the current sphere ability-distribution

If guns happen, heads will roll.

Because Hevin will get choppy with the axe.
