Turn 321:00:00woo, this shit is taking off!
Shades and the well-spoken ZanithYou have researched level 1 Navigation
The Zanith have looked around the nearby forest, and those parts of the herd which were scouting now have a good idea of where the best food and water is. It is now easier for some Zanith to get food, and less likely for some to get lost in the forest.
You have researched level 1 Hunting
The Zanith have realised that using their expert communication to corner animals is just the basics of hunting. Now, members of the Zanith climb trees, to drop rocks on animals herded beneath it.
Your next periods of research can be:
1. Plant and Fruit gathering
2. Hunting
3. War.
4. Herbalism
5. Navigation
6. Shelter
7. Water gathering.
8. Culture.
9. Government.
Water, good idea, now that we have found water lets find some way to collect it for the settlement. (7. Water gathering.)
Speaking of which if we collect it we'll need a way to store it, probably should look into that too. (6. Shelter)
The Ger swiftly move onwards, abandoning most the camp to pursue the new prey. Racing through the trees, they burst out near to the small creatures. Your choices are:
1. ATTACK!
2. CHAAAARRRRRGE!
3. Wait (-)(-)
You have been returned to LEVEL 1 HOUSING
You have forgotten FIRE, and been reduced back to nomads
You set up in the forests.

Your emisarry has just become an emisarry
Wait, WTF?
But seriously, now you have a designated emisarry, useful for negotiating extras with the race living next to you. But first, you might need to encourage him/her to go spend time with the other race, to encourage their learning the language.
Also, is that how you spell emisarry?
As the Sodtat herd settled down in the forest, Herd decided to ensure that they are not in danger from those strange fishpeople. After a long discussion wherether they should interact wit them, Herd decided to send the emissary to watch the other race and, perhaps, learn more about them?
Research Hunting.
Your emisarry returns, and is greeted by the Watcher, who demands the basics of what underwent. As the unfamiliar race begins to move into the trees, the Watcher gives a nod of silent approval, and returns to his hole.
You have researched TRIBAL RULE (Level 2 Government)
The Watcher is no longer voted in by his peers, but is put in by a conbined vote of that, and the previous Watcher's (Much more important) vote. This opens the way to bloodline succession, but makes the pack become a lot more integrated as a whole, with the previous Watcher a lot happier to step down from his position.
You have researched EARLY TRIBAL MONARCHY (Level 3 Government)
The Watcher chooses the best of his sons, (unless they are completely talentless) to lead in his stead. The "lesser" people are happier to know that there is a single defining bloodline, however, if the power is flaunted too much, it could lead to some unrest.

Send Emissary to watch the other race.
Begin researching war
You have researched LEVEL 3 HOUSING
The Zuick now have accurate property management. With a proper boundry around each tree, and a way of making makeshift doors, the Zuick now have almost complete protection against the elements, as well as rudimentary protection against people they dislike.
You have researched LEVEL 1 Navigation
The Zuick have looked around the nearby forest, and those parts of the herd which were scouting, now have a good idea of where the best food and water is. It is now easier for some Zuick to get food, and less likely for some to get lost in the forest.
Warning - Because the herd does not like to be apart, it will be hard to search deeper into the forest, and thus you can no longer research navigation. A better system of government might help this.
Because you have reached Level 3 in a research, you have progressed to the next level of culture
While putting up walls for their boundaries, the Zuick notice a strange stone, which seems to make sparks when hit against different stones. After gathering some dead foliage, the Zuick manage to light a successful fire in the center of their village.
Warning - leaving this area will demote you from settlers, back to nomads. This will have no effect on your tech or evolution chances.
(Also, the criteria for each level-up is different, so you can't just level one thing.)
Due to you having learned Level 3 of Shelter, A new field of research has opened up to you - Defense.
If walls and a door can be used to keep people out of your house, Big walls and a big door might be able to keep wild animals out of the village.
Your next periods of research can be:
1. Plant and Fruit gathering
2. Hunting
3. War.
4. Herbalism
5. Navigation
6. Shelter
10. Defense
7. Water gathering.
8. Culture.
9. Government.
The scouts have come back with their various news, while the Xion stay at the river, and gorge on fish. Suddenly, the lumbering race bursts out of the trees, not far from the Xion. Your choices are:
1. Flee upstream!
2. Flee downstream!
3. Flee across the river!
4. Stay put, and make ready to fight!
5. Charge them!
(Warning you cos I like you, Choose very carefully on this one. You don't know how fast the enemy race is, how well they can fight, or what option they will choose. The choice you make, and a certain amount of coin-flipping and lucky guesses will decide whether your race lives or dies.)
Also, Because it's getting a little hard to keep up with, I'll require everyone to put down a list, in another spoiler, of their current skills, Techs, and level of government.
