Out of character I'm pretty sure I need to research technology for that (see what happened with the big mountain with all the metal)

Anything you can do to boost production?

[Zazmio]

I recommend that the Breiger pray for a fertile tile of some kind, and then build a farm there.  That will help your progress immensely.  One problem with that is the gods have seemed very inactive lately.  I have noticed Felius, Snag, and Blarg posting recently, though.

I also recommend not taking it too seriously.  It's not that serious a game.  There will be occasional setbacks, but you'll most likely make steady progress overall.

[Maximum Spin]

Yeah, the way this game works, the civs have to be a bit proactive about begging for help because gods can do so little if they're not actively worshipped. I'm also available, but my FP pool is low.

Out of the strange alien energies in the square of A11 arise the Octadians, squid monsters with menacing spikes covering their entire body. They adopt the color green as their symbol, that being the color of their bodies. They worship Gilbert, the ultimate creator of themselves and their environment.

Is this okay? Also, how much pop should I start with? I'll take my first actions when I find this out.

[Supernerd]

Starting pop is still 5.

[bloop_bleep]

Octadians
3 pop forage for food at A11
1 pop makes 1 junk tool
1 pop researches Divine Altar (attempting to increase FP yields from praying)

Forknor, the almighty god of cutlery, awakens at the call for aid.
Forknor bestows 5 junk tools on the Arutz for 15fp.

Forknor, the almighty god of cutlery, awakens at the call for aid.
Forknor bestows 5 junk tools on the Arutz for 15fp.

That has to be the biggest waste of FP I've seen in these games by far.

They already have 6 Junk tools and 3 Junk Farming tools. Spending the 15FP on an artifact tool instead would be way more effective.

Like if you want to stick with the cutlery theme I wouldn't mind something like the Forknor's Fantastic Fork of Fishing.

I probably shouldn't let two people have the same color. I'm sure its fine if they are literally on opposite sides of the world though. If I am wrong, then at least nobody will know for... However long it takes to travel halfway across the map. 300 to 400 turns maybe? No idea.

Also, remember to point out any and all GM errors. I never take out my error frustration on the player. (The one time I appeared to was actually me pointing out that it was clearly not an error)

Godly behaviors of particular note
I'm going to rule that Junk Tools are a crafted item and not a basic resource, and thus are not something you can get for FP. I'm also going to rule that it would be a terrible waste of FP even if you could. (Believe it or not, it would actually be more effective than gifting food during a non-famine)

Snag re-gulls G1

Blarg is unable to create Intelligent Psychopathic Zebras at D11. You'll need nothing less than an Interactive tile for that. (You actually could afford it, but you specified 5FP. A wise move if you didn't want to spend 15FP)

Tribal Worship Dance: Your civilization may perform a Tribal Worship Dance. This action will only work if every single member of your tribe participates, and provides FP to a specified god.
Woodcutting: It is now possible to forage for Wood on tiles! You must specify that you are foraging for "Wood" or else it will be assumed you meant to forage for food.
Wooden Housebuilding: At the cost of 20 wood and X labor, wooden housing may be built on a tile to provide +10 Housing. Labor cost is 20 in a forested tile, 30 in a flatland tile and 50 on a mountain tile. Special tiles may require a different amount of labor.
Woodcutting Tools: Most tool techs may now be used to create a "Woodcutting Tool" instead of a standard tool. Woodcutting tools have a better result in wood gathering actions, but are useless for all other actions. You must specify the tool by its name or it will not be used.
Diplomacy: It is now possible to exchange things with other civilizations. Note that bad things may happen when you do.
Wood handled tools: When creating many kinds of tools, one material may be substituted for wood! Note that certain techs or certain parts of tools cannot be replaced this way, and this only works once per tool.

Foraging with a basket will allow a unit to forage at a tile that is 2 tiles away from an owned tile.

The word "Basket" must be included for this to take effect, and you must specify the tile that the unit travels through to get to its final destination.
Building Material: It is now possible to forage for Wood or Stone on tiles! You must specify that you are foraging for "Wood" or "Stone" or else it will be assumed you meant to forage for food.
