So, our class assignment is to get into groups and design a civ from scratch. Basically, build a city and population, and eventually trade with other groups.

So, my group's Civ wasn't doing so well, we lost a lot of our food when winter got to it, people were doing odd rituals to try to make it better, several had died of starvation. I decided i had to take drastic action. We didn't have a god to worship yet, so...

"and so, It came to the elder in a dream. A god of living fire, who commanded "sacrifice the firstborn of one family to the fire on winter Solstice, and again on Summer Solstice, from now until the end of time. do this, and he shall raise your people to glory and smite your enemies to dust. So speaks my Master...

ARMOK, GOD OF BLOOD!!!

My teacher loved it, and everyone in my group is now slightly terrified of me

[They Got Leader]

Hahaha! Very NICE!!

even better, we made contact with another group's civ, so we sent a missionary of Armok over to them.they sent one of thier religion's missionaries as well, but thiers is a peaceful pair of gods, who shall soon be subsumed in the glory of

ARMOK, GOD of BLOOD!!

What is the specs for this project? I'm really curious.

[Demonic Spoon]

Awesome, I wish we got projects like this at our school. 

[twwolfe]

start out with 75 man, 75 women, and 100 children, and build a civilization from scratch. think a mix of Age of Empires and Civilization. we get a nice embark site, a brook with various fish, birds and plants, hardwood and mountains for stone withing a 6 hour walk. we write up plans for a year, two years, etc each week, and our teacher looks at the plans and decides how well we do. so far, my group seems to be lagging behind everyone in everything but animal husbandry, where we're way ahead of everyone else, so we need a powerful god to protect us. and i can't think of any more powerful than

ARMOK, GOD OF BLOOD!!!

I advise you begin a megaproject ASAP.

[twwolfe]

I advise you begin a megaproject ASAP.

we're still primitive and small, and I'm the only DF player in the group.

I'll see about getting a nice temple of Armok up in our next group

[They Got Leader]

Once again, could you explain what exactly the project is? Like the whole thing?

we start off as hunter-gatherers with knowledge of agriculture and domestication, and have to discover everything else. we're initially isolated, but it looks lie other groups are making contact by now.

Do the gods actually do anything?

They roleplay tribes of people, by writing out year plans for them.

Do the gods actually do anything?

I'm guessing that the teacher may or may not factor religious intervention into his calculations. OP is hopeful that he does.

at the very ;east, worshiping such a god should convince people that we are total badasses

That makes me sad. ARMOK sacrifices should give you magical powers
