I am giving you a tile that is basically that now, i just really want to do something cool, i can change most of it to get it to work, primarily by making the giant ones be the main/only thing spawned, and not having them leave the area.

[Zazmio]

I just want to say, hopefully without compromising GM neutrality too much, that dgr is on the right track.

What I mean is, this is one kind of thing I expect gods to do; that is, use their FP to create tiles or whatever that cause them to gain FP through their Aspect.  So Farsky, aspect of Titans, would be smart to create tiles that create giant or titanic creatures, since he could theoretically gain FP when its creatures cause "events".

If Farsky just wants to help the Jotun, it would indeed be cheaper to simply create a fertile tile they can access.  But that might not cause "events" that trigger his Aspect.  All I'm saying is, he's on the right track, and other gods might want to think similarly.

[TricMagic]

I think a tundra tile with mammoths might work. Granted, I'm the one with a magical race. Thank you Blarg for giving us more land.


Also, my people are alright where they are correct?

[dgr11897]

Yes, Exactly, AND CAN NOBODY SEE THAT I AM GIVING THEM A DIFFERENT TILE THIS TURN, ONE THAT IS ACTUALLY USEFUL FOR THEM.
This is also the reason i made them demihumans, to entice mabel to help me make it, since it would give her FP too.
And why I am doing a tile that spawns giant monsters specifically is
1. because it is really cool
and 2. because the beasts are hard to kill and will thus offer a challenge to those who would attempt to best them and gain their power. Though i will remove the smaller monsters and just go with it spawning giant monsters from time to time.

Noteworthy tiles:

C4:  +A grove of large trees that forever bear fruit+

Godly actions of note:
For 5 FP, Farsky creates a grove of large trees that forever bear fruit at C4!
Blarg creates a mangrove forest at J1, and a swamp at J2.
Malvol creates a plains at I4.
For 3 FP, Nagas replaces the tundra at B3 with a desert!  Then he creates a swamp at I7.
Farsky's and Mabel's attempt at creating a tile fails with no loss of FP.  However, it prods the GM into creating new rules!

New rules created!

Gods can now gift FP to other gods!

Gods can now do Divine Projects!  A Divine Project is a tile, artifact, or creature that probably has a high FP requirement.  Give the DP a unique name, describe it, and add at least 1 FP to the project.  Other gods can add FP to the project if they want, and FP can be added on the same turn that the project is created.  The project persists until it has the required FP to be created.  Nothing is created in the world until the DP gets the required FP.  You may ask the GM how much your project will cost, and the GM will give an approximate amount, if he's feeling generous!  Attempts at spamming pointless projects might have unfortunate consequences!

Artifacts and creatures can be created with FP!  The rules are similar to the creation of tiles.  You must specify the tile where they are created.

Mabel Godess of Demihumans
Commence working on an Artifact, Seed of Ice. If it is tended by a worker, it will convert whatever tile it is located in into a cold-weather variant of itself over time. This artifact will be created at B4.
No. I would prefer to help, but frankly, I am overextending myself. I need to commence working on my own projects. If they pray to me, I will happily convert empty space near them into more cold regions, but I need to spend my energy on projects pertaining to my own domain.
Create a Frozen Demihuman Forest at B3 for 5FP, All people born there will be hybrids of both humanity and the species best pertaining to their personality.

Farsky acts

Desired traits
1.Spawns colossi every few turns, large demihuman creatures with slight amounts of stonework covering their bodies
2.Every so often a greater Colossi is spawned, they can have unique traits, and a special power, they are generally larger/stronger than normal and when slain in single combat grant either (your choice) The power to turn into a colossi, or a lesser version of their main power. There is also only ever one at a time.
3.If more than five colossi accumulate on the tile new ones will move to nearby tiles.
4.Colossi bones are magical, colossi have weakpoints, and they provide meat.

As it's name suggests this tile is constantly under light meteoric bombardment, most burn up and are harmless but occasionally (every few turns) one will impact glowing with mystic energy. These then trap an animal and go underground. After a time the animals will emerge as colossi. Colossi are large creatures, they are a mix of stonework (appearing in the form of weapons and armor), man, and beast, most of them are similar enough to just bunch together into a group based on species. In general they are around the size of a jotun villager. Colossi are territorial and will attack if attacked, they get more territorial around the central structure. If the number of colossi exceed 5 new colossi wil head to a nearby tile. Every so often (every 5-10 spawns) a colossus will be created that is truly extraordinary, possessing unique traits, and being stronger than average, these creatures are known as greater colossi, and there tends to only be 1 alive at a time. Greater colossi can break most of the rules normal colossi follow, having unique abilities, be they magical, or biological. In addition other colossi tend to group up around them, forming an impromptu army. Colossi tend to bear the markings of that which created them, in the form of crystals surrounded by mystic runes, these locations are weakpoints, plunging a sword into them will eventually slay the colossus, though one can always just slay them by conventional means. When slain a "Colossus" provides an immense amount of meat, and if slain alone in single combat their energies flow into whoever defeated them, augmenting their strength, and in the case of greater colossi, granting one the ability to shift into a colossus-like form, or giving you a lesser version of one of their abilities. In addition their bones, and the crystal that created them (which are valuable if they are not destroyed), are magical in nature. [/color]

Instead He begins work on something simpler, a project for a mecha robot factory at H3, It's simple enough, it makes mechs, I am not particular what kind, and it does so automatically. He puts 2 FP into it, the mechs should be custom made for whoever enters it, being able to operate them effectively.

I forgot to indicate the Orassan and Cait Sith home tiles on the map.  Will do in the next update.

Farsky acts

Spoiler: write up here (click to show/hide)

Farsky Creates the land of falling stars, at it's center is a pulsing mystic structure, the structure forever calls out to the sky. As it's name suggests this tile is constantly under light meteoric bombardment, most burn up and are harmless but occasionally (every few turns) one will impact glowing with similar mystic energy to the central structure. When an animal approaches it they are grabbed by beams of energy that pull them into the meteor, at which point they start glowing with energy and the ground closes up over them, sealing them away. After a time the beasts will emerge as colossi. Colossi are large creatures, they are a mix of stonework (appearing in the form of weapons and armor), man, and beast, though variance this sometimes doesn't hold true, but most of them are similar enough to just bunch together into a group based on species. In general they are around the size of a jotun villager, with some smaller, and (more commonly) some are larger. For the most part though, colossi that are naturally spawned simply appear to be large demihuman versions of the animal they were created from, with a little stonework thrown in. Colossi do not tend to be innately hostile, it is mostly their size that makes them a threat, however they are territorial and will attack if attacked, they get more territorial around the central structure. Colossi also do not tend to leave their home tile, however if the number of colossi exceed 5 a small group will branch off, heading to a nearby tile. Every so often a colossus will be created that is truly extraordinary, possessing unique traits, and being stronger than average, these creatures are known as greater colossi, and there tends to only be 1 or 2 at a time. Be warned though, as greater colossi can break most of the rules normal colossi follow, having unique abilities, be they magical, or biological. In addition other colossi tend to group up around them, forming an impromptu army. Colossi tend to bear the markings of that which created them, in the form of crystals surrounded by mystic runes, these locations are weakpoints, plunging a sword into them will eventually slay the colossus, though one can always just slay them by conventional means. When slain a "Colossus" provides an immense amount of meat, and if slain alone in single combat their energies flow into whoever defeated them, augmenting their strength, and in the case of greater colossi, granting one the ability to shift into a colossus-like form, or giving you a lesser version of one of their abilities. In addition their bones, and the crystal that created them (which are valuable if they are not destroyed), are magical in nature.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, and you are on the right track.  However, I suggest cutting down on the details, because, in addition to making it a hard to read wall of text, it's also hard to tell flavor text from attributes that add to the power.  This version seems just about the same as the last version, with some minor changes.  I would guess 25-35 FP right now.  Maybe you could try simplifying that description a bit.

edit:  also, don't forget the tile coords

[dgr11897]

I simplified it a bit, am working on simplifying some more, Simplified a bunch more.

[Nakéen]

I suggest not putting the description in colored text, too! You could also make a summary of desired traits for your location in the form of a list.

[Supernerd]

The Jotun Oligarchy continues their foraging. They expand their civilization to increase their collective strength and honor their patron gods at the same time. Unconcerned about the possibility of depleting the resources of trees that forever bear fruit, they focus their efforts on a single tile to both protect it from rival civilizations and discover if it shares the same diminishing returns that a regular tile has.

(ooh. This game is updating quickly. Keep up the good work!)

Spoiler: Action Post (click to show/hide)

6 workers forage at C4

1 new worker is created at the cost of 4 food.

I have a question. If primitive buildings only require "1 worker" to make, does that mean it always takes 1 worker's action to make one regardless of any tools or traits they may have that can increase labor output?

[dgr11897]

I have once again updated it, i changed the color back to normal and added a list of desired traits.
