Yeah sure. Also, I interpreted the domain requirements as there is lifeforms on the planet.

[Supernerd]

Are we supposed to do something now, or just wait for the next turn?

[Demonic Spoon]

Wait

Drafted changes to be folded into the OP tomorrow:

Spoiler: Cult stuff (click to show/hide)

Cult template:

Code: [Select]

Name (optional): How the cult gets named in updates and such
Deities/spheres/persons/things venerated: What the cult venerates (or fears!)
Offering doctrine(s): What followers do/give up to generate acts for their patron(s)
Miracles/interventions: What followers can commonly expect to do. Think stuff like better harvests, cursing rivals with bad luck, and not meeting bandits on trips and that kind of thing.
More information: Any other information on practices that can help flavor/color the cult's interactions in updates

Cults:

• Early cult chassis (1 Common, min. 1 deity, 1 offering doctrine, 1 miracle/intervention*): (None)

* Subject to rebalancing
               
Example offering doctrines:

• Burnt offering: Sacrifice food to the god(s)
• Pilgrimage: Travel to sacred sites
• Monument building: Build great monuments to honor (or ward away) the god(s)
• Mortal sacrifice: Sacrifice mortals to the god(s)
• Tithes: Sacrifice valuables to the god(s)
• Vision quests: Commune with the god(s) with special libations

Other staged changes:

• Clarify domain discount for Natural Tempered applies to critters and creatures
• Clarify below-Petty tier prices
• Clarify non-recursiveness of terraforming freebies
• Cult requirement for future high priesthoods (co-creation is OK)
• Monument cost is Common and not Lesser by default

Celestial: Can begin building a bureau to maintain the world, but receive a penalty to direct world actions

What are direct world actions?

Does that include making terrain and the like?


Unrelated, in regards to required fauna/flora for mortals, what if the mortals in question are autotrophs or rely mainly on minerals?

[Crystalizedmire]

Uhhhh, why isn't my beetles listed as fauna? Also, I made the flinir as critter servants.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Fixed now

[Demonic Spoon]

Luka donates both his actions to the Department of Mortal Affairs. By Luka's reckoning, no God actually wears a hat, making mortals the superior creatures by default. Furthermore he donates the Hat of Creation to the department, insuring that they will have the power to remain independent from Godly affairs including the ability to reject Gongon as their patron (given that he is a cause of no small amount of trouble to mortal kind).

Oh well. It would have been nice

[Stirk]

The Department of Mortal Affairs must remain independent for the good of all mortals, given that 90% of the gods really are apathetic or actively malicious.

[Supernerd]

Is there any specific information I need to know about negotiations involving non-player factions?

Direct world actions are mostly terraforming the way everyone's been doing it; bureaucratically minded deities should instead go through appropriate departments/bureaus or friendly gods.

Appropriate flora/fauna will still be required to maintain a stable ecosystem in that case.

Is there any specific information I need to know about negotiations involving non-player factions?

Probably not; what I see in-thread is already more or less how it's intended to go for public negotiations.

[Supernerd]

Should I wait for a response prior to taking my action?
Edit: Nevermind. This is no longer relevant as I got the response already.

Edit 2: It occurs to me that I should confirm this something: Would it require movement to create the first continent/ocean for a plane? I am under the impression it would not because there would be no place to travel to yet, but I am not 100% certain of this.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Movement (tentatively) isn't required to create the first continent/ocean for a plane.

[Supernerd]

Excellent. So I didn't mess that up!
