Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

Amastay cackles madly as a plan nears fruition. He asks the giants if there is anything in particular they want from their artifact. General guidelines, but the details we be a work of amastay himself.

Aglejo

Is the current status of the Farming research as 7/? intentional? Going off the total research points needed by the People and the Orassans, I'd imagine the end shouldn't be too far off.

3 workers forage for food at B6.
2 workers research Toolmaking.
1 worker researches Farming.

As mentioned in the previous turn, the most exciting field of battle this year will be in the Arstotzkan capitol, with plenty of close-quarter fighting and siege warfare.  Arstotzka, accordingly, spent their design phase developing a high-altitude tactical bomber.

Jotun Oligarchy

One of the elders among the Jotun Oligarchy responds to Amastay. "We have discussed this matter quite thouroughly. What we want will depend on a decision you have yet to make. AHEM! ... If you would be willing to use most of the FP that you would gain from the prayers of the Jotun Oligarchy on improving our civilization, then we would like the artifact to be something that will increase the effectiveness of our prayers at your new temple. On a related note, if you do agree to this then I'm sure you will understand if we refrain from praying until we are able to upgrade your temple into a Giant Temple."

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.

(The update post mentions seagulls spying on Giants at C4. The update post still shows the seagulls being located at B5 and no giants worked on C4 on that turn. Is this an error?)
Tile doesn't matter.  That was just to let you know that they're spying on you.

How I get more workers?
"3 food is spent to create 1 worker"

Is there room for an extra god?
Yes, I'll allow another god.

((Does Camouflage give a bonus to hunting?))
Let's say... yes.  I'll add it to the tech.

Amastay is a bit surprised at the giants response. Part of the deal was always becoming one of his people, which comes with all the boons and protections he grants to any of these people. Nonetheless, a 25fp artifact is nearing holy grail levels of power, and it didn't feel right to make that all an investment back into himself. He settles on a bit of a compromise.

Amastay plucks a star from the sky and works it with his own hands, beginning his greatest artifact yet. He create a translucent yellow gem of great size. This gem shall be known as the lens of Amastay. Its function is twofold. When activated by praying to Amastay, it allows the user to create a minor zap the way a god would. It also makes the user slightly stronger, smarter, and more resilient, meaning that a lifetime of prayer can lead to very strong individuals.

He then affixes this gem in the center of his temple, so that when the light hits it, it scatters brilliant rays of light over the temple.
(I will levee the actual strength of these effects up to the gm, for what he feels is appropriate for 25 fp. )

I am unsure whether look forward and be god of metals/smiths, or go for something that will actually give FP like crafting or tools, although that may really be too diluted.

Eh. Might as well risk it and hope for some civ cooperation in entering the next age.

 I am Tellus god of metals

For this turn, I rest. Being born is tiring.

Would a tile of boulders be a basic tile, or an advanced tile?

This artifact has two properties that are both very powerful.  One gives a god-like power, the other makes someone progressively stronger the more they use it.  I don't even know how much something like this would cost.  Over a hundred FP, maybe.

I might allow something that gives a "minor" zap for, let's say, 20 FP.  "Minor" as in a temporary one-turn effect, and not a very powerful effect.
