We will be making a world. Use anything from any of the following approved existing mods, or make up your own.
Mods:
Genesis
Civ Forge
Stal's Armory
Grim's Historic Arms and Armor
Masterwork
Fortress Defense
What Lurks Below
Vanilla content

God Power:
4 - Race
3 - Unintelligent creature, plant, civ of existing race without Zealous or special terrain
2 - Type of item or unspecial terrain
1 - Single unique item or giving a vision to a chosen mortal.
You gain god power each day depending on how many mortals worship you. Other gods might not like you converting their worshippers but if you make your own civ or race they will start worshipping you.

Naturegirl1999(Minor God): 0 +1 each week due to 1 small hive worshipping
Supernerd(Minor God): 0 +2 each week due to 5 pops worshipping
Please keep this friendly.
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFECT YOUR CREATIONS OTHER THAN GUIDANCE IN THE FORM OF RELIGOUS VISIONS (1 god power) ONCE THEY ARE PLACED IN THE WORLD. IT WILL BE ENTIRELY RNG-GENERATED.
I have made one race to start. Make sure you do not present an idea that conflicts with my posts. I can confirm what is and is not canon in the case of disputes.

The standard sense of Mario is that he won't murder someone but isn't good enough to not smash bugs. This is engraved into everyone’s mind.
There was one slight problem with the climb, and that was the spontaneous combustion.

Note on this new race, Naturegirl1999: You appear to have -11 points. Either remove some good traits or add some bad ones.
You also have not chosen industries, spells or items. You also start with 1 tech.

Could I get an explanation on how this works? A lot of things are unexplained such as what the base health of something would be, and how new players are supposed to start.

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 base health of a creature is 6.
New players get 4 god power, enough to create their own race of worshippers. They could also spend god power to break off part of a non-Hive Mind civ and give them a unique item to help them. Example races are presented in case new players want to start and don't know much.
What other questions do you have?
This is very complicated, I know. Do you want to just watch a sample world?

Dwarves

Industrious

Immortal

Disadvantages:

Weak

Kobolds
Kobolds are small canine-lizard hybrids with floppy ears and three fingers on each hand.
Advantages:
Very Fast Breeders

Disadvantages:
Greedy
Nervous

Goblins
Goblins are green-skinned humanoids with a tendency for cruelty. They see other races as slaves.
Advantages:
Long Lifespan
Quick
Robust
Strong

Disadvantages:
Xenophobic

Humans
Humans are tall humanoids with a lust for power.
Advantages:
Industrious

Disadvantages:
Greedy

Civilizations:
Owl Tribe

Techs: Primitive Hand Tools

Ethics: Equal Monarchic Religious
Religion: Dragofire's Creed 100%, 23 pops

Still unclear on a few things like starting science and junk like that, but I probably know enough to do some things. I've also caught no less than three Stellaris references. Have you been playing a lot of Stellaris lately?

Nope. Never played Stellaris before. Where did you find the references I made without knowing they were references?

I was talking about Dragofire making the references, not you.

Here is my incomplete application. Many many many things have not been sufficiently explained yet by the GM so these have not yet been done. I am assuming that a race can a balance of positive 1 trait point because the GM created race has 4 points of advantages and 3 points of disadvantages. Let me know if I did anything wrong.
