Just an FYI, we are all still hyped for the next update.

[TricMagic]

Turn 11- Limits, Divine & Mortal.



Thul Ponders Improved Woodlands, despite having never created Woodlands in the first place. Still, it seems a simple enough task, though he feels as if he is missing something vital. Ah well, probably not a big deal, Improved Woodlands. 1/3

Jaanin'Maldaraak Ponders. 11/12
Jaanin'Maldaraak also does other things. The creation of Shrublands, keeping with diversifying his portfolio. He also creates a Mountain, and feels that there may be something to it not immediately apparent to his divine eye. It is very large.

Summary
I'll note the Extradimensionals Luck is still going strong. And it still is.
See overview below.

Thul, +5 FP from Tribes.
Jaanin'Maldaraak, +2 FP from Tribes

Spoiler: The Purity of Avarice, Thul (click to show/hide)

FP: 5

Abilities:
3 FP: Create a basic landscape tile to replace any empty tile. Things like Grasslands, Mountain, Ocean etc.
3 FP: Create Deer- Creates 5 deer which can repopulate if hunted. A successful hunt drops 5 food per target. Limit 1 group per tile. Can be replenished by Thul using 1 FP per Deer, or simply 3 FP. Note that Hunting requires tech with which to hunt, and Hunts may not always meet with success. A Tribe can choose how many they aim to down if hunting directly. So long as at least 2 exist, they will repop at 1 per 2 turns.
(1) FP: Replenish Basic Food- Replenishes a Tile's Basic Food. Only works if there is food to replenish, and results show at end of the turn. Cost is dependent on number of Tribe Members Worshiping Thul. 5+5+6=16. At 20 will become 2 FP cost. At 30 3 FP cost.

Improved Woodlands 1/3:

Research
Trap Making: 10/??

Wooden Tools: 12/12: Tools comprised of wood, they can be used for various matters. Not as good as specialized tools, but will reduce the research needed to make them.

Research
Basic Stone Tools: 11/??

Knapping: 6/6: The act of taking stones and striking them against each other to create edges. A fundamental part of successfully creating most stone tools, but only a part. Still, it should reduce the time it takes. It also may have other uses.

Farming 10/??

Foraging 6/6: Long gone are the days of Scavenging the land with barely any idea of what is edible, and what is not. Now you at least have some understanding, and with it will have slightly more success when gathering Food, so long as at least 2 workers are working together. Though it will still prevent the Tribe from not being able to find anything even if they work alone.

Regent Gathering 1/??

Stone Gathering: 2/?

Overview
On Turn 0, the gods fought. On turn 1, the Gods created.
On Turn 2, Mortals were born. On Turn 3, Mortals first acted.
On turn 5, the Void Age came to an end, and the first deaths occurred.

It is now Turn 11, and the first 10 turns have passed. So it's time for the first judging. Looking at the data, Jaanin'Maldaraak's Eastern Tribes are dominating the battle, with more food, more workers, and a higher technological basis. Thul's Western Tribes, meanwhile, have more diverse technological roots, but only wooden tools to their name. All original three tribes have also suffered deaths.

Meanwhile, the Extradimensionals look like they need a nerf. Except that the only thing that would help is nerfing their freaking luck. They are the first to reach 10 Tribe Members, and the first to realize that in order to safely gain more will require better housing. They can go above 10, but they will find problems in that that will steadily increase as they get closer to 20/10.

Well, the current Frontrunner is the East. We'll see if that changes. Also, no event right now, the Era of Beginnings is still ongoing.


Let me know if you spot errors, as always.

[Dustan Hache]

The Zastarn Bonekin

Having successfully gathered a great deal of food and new land, the majority (4) turn to researching basic construction (Ie, how to lean one or more pieces of wood so that they provide shelter without falling down during a storm or something).
The remaining 3 feast and forage the new land at G2, spending 7 food to birth 3 more workers.

[Supernerd]

Jaanin'Maldaraak
Jaanin'Maldaraak considers...

Apparantly stone tools was signicantly more expensive than wood tools, despite supposedly having a technology that improves the research speed for it.

Perhaps the mountain's attributes could be attributed to the fact that it is a "mountain" tile as opposed to a "mountains" tile. This would be an experiment worth performing sometime.

There would probably come a time when the Extradimensionals started to get unlucky with their foraging. Jaanin'Maldaraak thus prepared new lands to reduce the impact of a potential food depletion crisis, partially taking luck out of the equation for their success.

[Nirur Torir]

Thul, Purity of Avarice
Thul thinks on his Improved Woodlands pondering. He is exasperated by the importance of its Name. It's too easy a topic, and won't give the secrets of advanced land. He is uncertain of what he is missing to create advanced lands. Since he already has a way to upgrade lands, he decide to drop the matter for now.

His worshipers are at 16, against his rival's number 22. They also had improved foraging. If the gap was not closed with all haste, he risked ceasing to exist. If only they'd been able to figure out how to trap or hunt the deer already.
Ponder Blessed Berry Bushes. With deer, he created a new creature. With Replenish, he learned how to infuse his power to restore depleted food to the land. He would now mix the two ideas, creating bushes that flourished by being fed his own divine power, giving plentiful food to any foragers or scavenging tribesmen.
Ponder Create Woodreed. He would create a new plant, to be placed along rivers and water. It would grow well into a sturdy yet flexible pole-like shape, and be useful for spears, bows, or small poles.
Ponder as a thought nexus/focal point/redirect, and use 2 FP: Forceful research redirect of offending tribes into Wooden Spear instead of other spear-related research.

Thul gazed across his lands. There was no need to replenish them.
Create deer at C3.

I was going to complain, but now that I look at that having a single digit cap: We might be able to knock that out in a single turn, if all three of you focus on foraging and researching wooden spears, which let me ponder something longer lived than the berry bushes.

Good catch. Please fix this, guys.
And put the praying on hold until we get wooden spears, we really need the food.

Spear Making is a tech that would apply to all spears. Rather obviously, it would make making Spear-type items easier. I have no comment on it's cost at this moment.

Action change, born of frustration and a desire to lose less:
Ponder as a thought nexus/focal point/redirect, and use 2 FP: Forceful research redirect of offending tribes into Wooden Spear instead of other spear-related research.


I don't want to do this. But research names have to be exact. Currently we'd be working on 3 different techs, which is a waste a turn. We can't afford it, and if the power imbalance gets much worse than we have no chance of catching up, and the game won't be much fun for anyone.

Please don't lock the actions yet, Tric.
