I'm still here if anyone is wondering. Still waiting on my laptop to be fixed

[bloop_bleep]

This is a great game.

Planning on starting my own civ, but I should probably wait until the famine is over if I don't want to die immediately 

[Supernerd]

Glad to know that people like it. From my point of view, my grid games look like ugly calculators. Its the mystery of it that brings forth its appeal and makes it seem so... Real. And the players have been good about causing drama, so I don't need to do that myself. I just needed to scare people a bit to keep them from getting too complacent.

I really need to figure out a way to be at least a little forgiving to new players though. The goal is to punish players who are not observant, not wipe out people before they even have a chance.

The goal is to punish players who are not observant

at this point isn't that basically all of them


Oh and uhhh, if I can't make it rain fish I'm just saving my FP. Sorry guys, you're on your own. You knew this was coming!

[King Zultan]

I guess I'll save my FP then.

Not that you would want fishy potato rain anyway. Something that heavy falling from as high up as the sky would be more like murder-comets anyway.

That's why I said small potatoes, so they would be less likely to kill people.

2 people forage for wood at D2 using 2 junk tools (Not 3, that would be silly) to collect 5 wood.
4 people research Woodcutting tools
4 people research Diplomacy. As they now have higher progress on the tech than the common knowledge, the tech is now in the civilization spoiler.

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.
Woodcutting Tools: 8rp. Proof of Concept
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.

Swampland Farming: A farmland may be created on swamp tiles at the cost of 15 labor. A farmland may be worked to collect food and the farmland yield effect is shown on the tile info spoiler. Limit of one per tile. The word "Farmland" must be used when collecting from a farmland.
Swamp vine basket weaving: A basket may be created at the cost of 2 labor on a swamp tile (Co-ordinate specification required). Foraging with a basket will allow a unit to forage at a tile that is 2 tiles away from an owned tile. Trying to cross difficult terrain such as mountains or ocean will prevent an action from working and crossing dangerous tiles still causes danger. 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.
Will-o'-wisps: You may now interact with tiles without the risk of Will'o'wisp related danger. Note that you must specify this tech when you do so or your people will be careless!
Swamp Housebuilding: At the cost of 10 labor, a Makeshift Hut may be created on a wetlands tile. Each hut will increase the population limit by 2.

Mountaineering: At the cost of 3 labor, you may survey a mountain tile to reveal hidden information via PM. (Cost is increased for certain special mountains).
Mountain Trail: A mountain trail may be created on mountain tiles at the cost of 10 labor. Special mountains may require additional labor. If a mountain has a mountain trail, foraging on the mountain will provide increased yields. Additionally, the mountain will no longer be treated as difficult terrain.
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.
Hunting: You may now attempt to "hunt" on any tile. If successful, a hunt will trigger a combat encounter that provides food and possibly other resources. Your people can die on a hunt.
Farming Tools: Most tool techs may now be used to create a "Farming Tool" instead of a standard tool. Farming tools have a better result in farming actions, but are useless for all other actions. You must specify the tool by its name or it will not be used. WARNING: Farming tools are not helpful for foraging actions.

Farmland: A farmland may be created on most types of flat tile at the cost of 10 labor. A farmland may be worked to collect food and the farmland yield effect is shown on the tile info spoiler. Limit of one per tile. The word "Farmland" or "Farm" must be used when collecting from a farmland.
Junk Tools: At the cost of 1 labor, a "Junk Tool" is created. Junk tier items do not require specified resources to make and only the labor is required. A civilian can use a Junk tool while taking certain actions to have a chance to get a minor bonus. You must use the words "Junk Tool" alongside a civilian action or it will not take effect.

My four people were farming but whatever, i will write up my turn later.

2x wood-forage D2 forests for wood, with junk tools.
3x research woodcutting tools.
3x research wood-handled tools.
2x research diplomacy.

[Supernerd]

My four people were farming but whatever, i will write up my turn later.

I double checked and can say with confidence that your people were not farming. The tech clearly states that you need to include the word "Farmland" for it to take effect. I have also been permitting the word "Farm" and probably should (and will) add that word to the tech.

The need to specify what you have is a trend with all of the new abilities you get. This is so that I don't need to "check" to see who can do what. I am trying to crack down on minor infractions like this one too in order to promote positive player behaviors.

[dgr11897]

Facepalms, Crud, well, Snag, hasoc, i will be sending you prayer in the hopes you can help me last through this.

The Arutz
5 farm D4 with 5 tools
2 research farming tools
2 research stone knapping/ stone gathering
While one of the farmers farm, it wonders, why can't you use junk tools for research?

[dgr11897]

I did the math, if snag and hasoc work together, i can stretch out ten turns of food, this is with four of my people on idle the whole time. and my one person not idling praying to one of them the whole time. And also if you can't use junk tools to boost prayer
And i have two questions,
1 how long is the famine going to last
and two, what is causing the famine. (I.E. is it a drought, a blight on the crops, or something else)
