Burning Loins(1 mana to cast) - population growth for target hex increased for one turn.

+6 to mana storage.

You cast Flame Whisp at B12, and C13
Note: summons spells may only be cast within your currently controled territory, I have adjusted the spell locations to suit actions, however, the one whisp will only be able to scout B11, not B10, as it may only move one hex.

Two groups on the homeland of C13 begin work on homes, the two each only managing to create two homes with two pieces of the processed lumber. [+2 homes, -2 Lumber]

One of the remaning groups of humans maintains the lumbermil and the newly built homes, while the other works with the Flame Whisps to try and capture the Fire Elementals. The group of humans fails to capture the creatures as the massive heat pushes them back, however the Flame Whisps have no such trouble, surrounding the Elementals and containing them, for now at least. [ Fire elementals will no longer rampage, but will take further action to tame or destroy ]

Meanwhile, in B12, the first group of humans set out to gather wood from the jungle. They return with only a single bundle. [+1 wood]

The other group works on searching the jungle for animals to tame. They manage to find a large race of pale green lizards, about the size of a sheep, with a mild temperment. A fair sized group was gathered, and a few humans decided to become lizard wranglers.

And the Flame Whisps in B12, head north along the coast, to survey B11. Other than the continued coastline, and jungle filled lowlands, there isn't much more to tell about the area.

No Population growth this month.

You cast Hunting Charm, boosted by augmented spell power, you give your hunting population unit(AI target=hippos) an increased yield. [-2 mana]

One unit in K13 maintains the buildings there, while the Moose attempt to specialize in wood gathering. However, Moose arn't exactly the easiest animals to train, and they stubbornly refuse to learn from the handlers.

[AI] The undirected unit in K13 ponders what they will do this month. They decide to gather some food. They bring in some mushrooms with a strong fruity flavor. [+1 food]

Meanwhile, the Hippos move northeast into L13 and hunt. Finding the hills a massive repository of food, they bring back enough to feed four full groups of Dandy Lions. [+8 food]

Meanwhile the lions in L13 begin to search the hills for a useable source of materials that might be stronger than wood. They return with one unit of useable clay. [+1 clay]

One of the units in L14 takes 2 units of wood, and moves to M15, to begin construction on a granary. By the end of the month, the wooden Granary is a little crude, but will serve nicely. [+granary]

Meanwhile, back on L14, another unit works on building a lumber mill, while the other maintains the buildings already built. This time however, the raw wood material dosen't seem suitable for the lumber mill, holding construction back.

In the hills of L15, while one unit maintains the granary built there, another group starts to search for building materials. They don't find much, but a little bit of useful material is gathered up. [+1 stone]

In M15, two units hunt for food. One group has a meager yield, with the other only manages an average of two amounts. [+3 food]

Another group gather some more of the medicinal leaves. bringing in a single good bushel. [+1 raw medicinal leaves]

The Survey-Debeests moves over the hills of L15, and climb up into L16. They find a mountainous region with a pine forest along the far side. Astonishingly during their survey, they find a deep shaft leading into the mountain, upon exploring it, they find it is a copper mine, that still contains at least one copper vein.

The last group takes two of the salve containers and moves to L15. However, having no other action requested, they decide to survey their new homes. They unfortunately find nothing interestesting in the hills.

No population growth this month.

Golems:
00: Feed/maintain StatFac-melter-auto-magma-01.
01: dig a magma channel at b2 from c2
02: go to d2 and build a railway system
03: go to d2, use iron bars to build StatFac-metCrtFrg-auto-magma-01
04cw: try to disable the elementals, breaking them up and making them unable to do anything but hopefully leaving them intact enough that them magic stays and can be reverse engineered
05r: build magma channels to/on c2, also connecting b2 so all 3 tiles now have magma access.
06I: using steel from the StatFac-melter-auto-magma-01, make Rail-ArmCart-transp-01 golems.
07I: Using steel from the StatFac-melter-auto-magma-01, make DrlDig-RigWrm-mine-01 golems.

Scout summon at 2b: if it can travel on the seabed, examine 3b, otherwise disband to save upkeep.
Scout summon at 3e: Explore 4f, and of possible 4e to.

Designs:
StatFac-metCrtFrg-auto-magma-01: A very similar design to the melter, a stationary structure full of tightly packed machinery with golem enhancement working on it's own, and usualy built adjustent to the melter with accses to magma and pipes of molten metal going straight from the melter to the forges. The task is slightly differnet: it takes alredy refined mettal, and there is machinery for molding it much finer, smithing it, cuting it, drawing it into threads, flatening it into cheats, pressing it, bending it, chiping it etc. etc. etc. in short making it into any shape or structure you can imagine, even with complex mechanical parts, or tempered and folded for greater durability.
Rail-ArmCart-transp-01: A rather simple golem, think a self propelled mine cart with a simple arm. These golems can ONLY move on special rails, and can do nothing but hauling materials (or occasionally the smaller varieties of golems, but that carries risks) around, but they are very very fast and good at doing that, much faster than any golem on foot.
DrlDig-RigWrm-mine-01: Another highly specialized golem, this one for mining. It is basically a single rigid cylinder, with a digging head in front and outputting gravel and ore at the back for others to pick up. It cant move above ground, it cant even move throughout soft soil, it cant turn fast, and in general cant do anything at all but churn in a roughly straight line throughout rock and ore like it was nothing leaving behind a ugly scar of a tunnel and a ludicrous amount of material.

Magic:
I research burrower. (hopefully the replacing one will be something useful this time, something that sticks.) If posible to do after the first initial casting of the spell i put another two power into the scout at e3, the rest goes to mana.

Summon Plague Rat(9mp) - plague summon, will summon a pack of diseased rats, costs 2 mana per turn to maintain
Lung Blast(9mp) - plague attack spell, will cause a target population unit to take damage from an airborn virus, May backlash on Draati units nearby.
Strengthen Heart(8mp) - Boosts the endurance of a target unit, allowing it to move 2 hexes this turn.
Stone Decay(12mp) - will turn a selected area to rubble, giving the caster some stone resources.

Alrighty, some changes as you can see. I decided to leave the flavor text out of the quotes, will give me some more characters to use before the limit. I also worked on stabilizing the turn into a template that I use to write things up, note the following order:

This RNG will never give me a break, will it?

This RNG will never give me a break, will it?

You really did get slammed, rolled a 3 on random event, 1 is volcano, and 2 is earthquake. Extreme disasters all.

[Armok]

D:<

I do not like this new aproach actually.

Why did I get iron, i spesificaly mentioned to make steel, and you didn't mention failing a roll.

Why would rails affect any wheeled object? In reality, rails only works with thing spesificaly made for those rails. Rails is not the same king as roads, they are much more specialized.

What more exactly are the capabilities of the metCrtFrg? Likewise, how much hauling can the Rail-ArmCart-transp-01 do? Are these unlimited unless you specified otherwise?

Why did i only get 2 point for creativity? Did you forget abaut the image I made, that you said would be worth around 4?

Sorry if I sound ungratefull, but I really had built up a lot of hype during all his waiting, it's becaoming rather frustrating.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

That's a lot of mp. You said we can't research more than 1 spell/turn, right?

Bounties galore! My children are prospering, and spreading far and wide across the land! This so so exciting! I am very glad I allowed them to indulge their adventurous spirits. Who knew all this could be out there?

Research Storm Strike
Cast Blessing of Oak in F7
Cast Blessing of Fin in F7(+4 Spellpower)
Cast Blessing of Fin in F10(+4 Spellpower)
Cast Blessing of Fin in G10(+4 Spellpower)
2 Fawns in F7 build a watchtower/outpost. Some sort of increased visibility thing.
2 Fawns in F7 move southwest, taking the three food with them.
1 Fawns in G8 gathers food, the other two process it. One maintains buildings.
3 Fawns in H9 move south, then two survey and another looks for food.
2 Fawns in H9 move southwest, taking the bows and arrows One surveys, another looks for food.
The Druid in H9 tries to construct a Sacred Alter.
One Fawn in H9 maintains the buildings.
The Daoine gather food.
The unicorns in H9 move southwest, along with the fawns. The war unicorn surveys, the other looks for food.
The 2 Fawns in search for food.
The druids and wind elemental in H10 move 2 SW to F10, surveying the land.
2 Fawns in H10 move to G10, surveying the land.


Wow... this game is getting really complex. It's hard to keep track of everything.

You've played DF before, you should know that you can't just magically make Steel from Iron, you need other components.

Why would rails affect any wheeled object? In reality, rails only works with thing spesificaly made for those rails. Rails is not the same king as roads, they are much more specialized.

Roads will be different, do you really want me to make it more specalized to one single golem type, because if you really wish...

What more exactly are the capabilities of the metCrtFrg? Likewise, how much hauling can the Rail-ArmCart-transp-01 do? Are these unlimited unless you specified otherwise?

Nothing is set in stone, until you try to take something like more than 10 units of something at a time, but for now it will be unlimited. It will be more than a normal unit would be able to.

Why did i only get 2 point for creativity? Did you forget abaut the image I made, that you said would be worth around 4?

I gave you the image points for turn 4, and I said 3-4, 4 is the max I'd give anyone for a single turn.

Sorry if I sound ungratefull, but I really had built up a lot of hype during all his waiting, it's becaoming rather frustrating.

It's understandable, but It's frustrating to me as well. I've told you before, I want to try and keep balance with things, I can't just give you everything you want, right off the bat. The nature of this game will lead to things not comming out as you might expect, and some level of discussion on things because the rules are being made as we go.

That's a lot of mp. You said we can't research more than 1 spell/turn, right?

yep, only 1 spell research per turn, but you can cast as many spells as you like.

Do note however, that your War Unicorns have been specalized for combat, they can't survey for you.

also if you can do me a favor and keep all spell stuff together that will make it easier for me when the turn comes.

[Armok]

Oh, ok.

For the rails: not a single golem type, but only ones spesifically mentioned to travel only on rails. Use comon sense and think abaut how real railways work: driving on a railway wont make yyour car go faster, and nothing I know on that uses a railway works of a railway, but there are many kinds of vehicles that use railways.

I do think you shuld say what the limit of production is, so I know where to aim improvments. You said 10?Is that units of golems or units of work or units of material used?

I also would like to know what the limits to hauling by the ArmCarts is. Both how many tiles they can operate on, and their hauling and holding capacity. A good idea might be to simply messure it in units of goods moved one tile (so moving one unit two tiles or two units one tile has the same cost. presumably internal houling would start at one tile to make it finite.)

In honesty, for the sake of ballance you might even want to limit the melting to 1000 units or something else symbolicaly huge that probably never will be reached.

[KineseN]

If I use my Flame Whisp that is scouting right now to scout a new hex and immediately unsummon it, would the new hex be scouted but still consume the 2 mana upkeep?

[Haika]

unsummoning will count as an action, can't survey and unsummon at the same time.

Again... do you want the bonus or not? I could just take it away and make it like the creep, only allowing your railcart golems to travel upon them, but nowhere else and no other benifit...

The production mentioned is actually quite limited, your automated building will have 1 action, similar to a golem unit. You could theoretically give it another golem to consume for extra actions, but remember you don't get mp from buildings, so I'm not sure how much of that you want to do.

As to the cart, I will leave it as unlimited for now, but I'd say 10 units of something, with normal golems being able to carry about half that much at one time. Don't take that as a rule however, because this post isn't a turn, and I won't remember it.

In honesty, for the sake of ballance you might even want to limit the melting to 1000 units or something else symbolicaly huge that probably never will be reached.

What's the point in limiting it by 1000 instead of just saying it's vaguely limited, but there's nowhere near the limit yet?

[Armok]

Ugh... Do you realize you're horibly inconsistent? You have a bazillion numbers for some things that it dosnt really matter for, but at the same time you cant give number for the things I spesificaly ask for. You give the melter INFINITE capacity, but the automated forge/factory using a very very similar design is hardly better than a basic clay golem with no tools...

The reason I wanted to limit it to rails (And NOT only that specific unit type, the mechanic is basicaly like this: Railway gives huge benefits, but only to things made spesifically for railways, and those can only travel on railways. All railgoing things would have to have similar rail-wheels, but the things you put on top of the wheeled platform can vary, as can the means of adding rotation to those wheels resulting in varius speeds betwen models.)

Question: Can I summon bunnies and then slaughter them for food? If so, can I do it in the same turn?

Bunnies are magical summons, they can't be killed for food. As when they die, they poof.

Eh, well nothing to fight so I guess they don't really do anything then.
Fixed the spell stuff for you. I had it organized by tile, but I can group the spells together instead.

You could still sent the war unicorns out walking, they will need food eventually, but can take some with them, and while they can't survey, they can fade fog of war and outline the landscape. Have em go make contact with someone. Not all of you are on islands like Ed

I for one would welcome meatshields allies to my territory.
