Don't worry about sizes, Grek probably abstracted it based on activity. My continent has 3 races on it. (But yeah, yours IS bigger than mine, planet > continent.)

And when I said 'above' the gray expanse I meant above it in the Prime, since I read how NME originally worded it to be at the bottom of the Prime Plane.

Darn. And I had already drawn a new version.


Question: Which art style do you prefer?

Do we have to use the Gain Level action multiple times to level up? How many times would it take for a Lesser God to become a Intermediate God?

Actually, you would have to increase your divine rank. You can do that after you have done so many divine actions.

Also, since you didn't create a sentient race, you can create many creatures. Since they're considered "Natural" and all.

As many as you like in one 'category'. Usually if you create a category, you should stick to regular earth creatures, so you don't have to describe them.

Example categories:

Birds, Mammals, Prey, Predators, Fish, etc etc.

But don't just post "X Created fish." We want more like" X went down upon the hills and the valleys and created a multitude of creatures, creatures that hunt and that feed on meat. From tigers to lions they appeared."

Or you could create 3 related creatures or a group of closely themed monsters.

No, metal working would be making crafts and stuff, you'd need to teach Armor Making/Weapon Making.

Some more questions:

What is our NPC god limit ?
How do we make heros?
Are the base classes open at the start?
If two races are part of the same civ do they share teachings? example: if i teach my dwarfs to make warforged, and than teach them to allow warforged their freedom do the warforged get all the teachings of the dwarfs because they are now a full part of the dwarf civ?

What is our NPC god limit ?

- No strict limit, but don't go abusing it.

How do we make heros?

- Control followers for non-divine hero, create exarch for a hero with divine powers.

Are the base classes open at the start?

- Yes.

If two races are part of the same civ do they share teachings?

- Yes. However teachings spread throughout seperate races and civs automatically, over the course of a 2 or 3 turns. However teachings cannot spread through planes or other inaccessible places (unless they have access to other planes) without divine action. For example me teaching construction to the humans would spread that in a turn or a couple to other races on the floating continent, but not to the race in the microline planet or the archipelago without divine help.

I propose a map of the floating continent, or at least some structure. As it stands, there is no reason for combat between factions; the continent is infinite. Dividing the continent into, say, a dozen regions, would promote combat.

To be honest I don't really care about the makeup of the continent, you guys can feel free to design a map of some sort.

((My people allready had weapons, just to clarify.

This is irrelevant, you taught your people how to specifically to make weapons and armor out of 'nothing', this sounds like divine magic i.e. only worshipers of you can use it. Thus it cannot spread throughout the wider populace as easy as it would what I taught, how to make weapons and armor out of everyday items. I did not make these weapons to defend against, merely to prolong the war. They are on-par or almost on-par with your weapons. Thus the only advantages you have are your numerical supremacy, the disadvantages the people you are taking over have? Strategy, tactics, knowledge of the land. It is certainly is not as simple to destroy your enemies as you describe. 3 Turns until your people pickup tactics and strategies, may as well make you fight fast.

I also propose something else:

If a god teaches Y to race X. They can then freely teach Y to race Z within the turn the action was posted. So multiple gods do not have to either wait for the teachings to spread to them (which happens after about 2-3turns or more) or waste AP teaching the same things.

Requesting the Destruction Primary Domain.

The 3 (or more) Actions related to it:

Taught Strategy and Tactics - Both can and are used to defend against destruction at the hands of foreign invaders.
Taught Armor and Weapon crafting - used to create and defend against destruction.

That's 4.

More tenuous links:

Created a floating continent - a platform for war and destruction.
Created Humans - Humans destroy to survive.

My request also raises an interesting question: Can I use one portfolio domain for two or more primary domains, or can I only have 1 for each?
