GATHERING TIME.

[SHAD0Wdump]

uh, cuz i don't think calling this game an rtd makes sense anymore, and i don't have privileges to move this thread and i don't want to bother toady or threetoe with such a petty problem. do you think i should pm him?

Look at the bottom left of this thread's page, you can move it. Or at least you should be able to.

[Neyvn]

So not understanding the table fully...

[Cheddarius]

All you need to know is at the bottom of the table. What part do you need clarification for?

Also, Askot, I think for the table you shouldn't do total uses, but instead uses for each weapon. So if you had 3 axes in mint condition, and one that was used twice, you'd have:
5, 5, 5, 3.
Otherwise, people might get confused about how many axes they have, which is important because you might see "6" and think that someone only has 1 axe, so you make schlim battle with only one axe, but in fact schle has three axes at 2 uses each.

[Neyvn]

The second one mainly...
That makes little sense to me...

[Cheddarius]

Oh, the Battles one? That's crazy, I have no idea how that works either.

[Neyvn]

No no no no... The second Part of the first Table.

[Cheddarius]

The Tribesmen one? There's a legend for it. "health, action, tool". So:
3sp: A tribesman with 3 health made a spear.
3em)4: A tribesman with 3 health ate meat. Now he has 4 health.
3wA: A tribesman with 3 health gathered wood. He used an Axe.
3buK: A tribesman with 3 health butchered meat. He used a Knife.

Askot, what does the fighting table mean?

That makes a little more sense, is the a Legend Key for what each letters mean???

[Cheddarius]

No, but they should be fairly obvious. fi=make fire, sp=make spear, w=get wood, s=get stone, k=make knife?, em=eat meat...

[Belathus]

Hit creature with pointy stick, make dead.  What more ex-plain you be need?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I may be able to shed some light on the battles table.  The first column seems to be the creatures -- in this case, one tribesman with 3 health in the first row, and the hunted creature in the second row.  The second column, and every other column is the rolls for a round of combat.  The hunter has a spear, which gives a +2 bonus to the rolls.  First round, he rolled a 1 which, after bonuses, is 3.  The creature rolled a 5, which means he won the round; the hunter would've got hurt, but the spear protected him with its reach.  Second round, hunter rolls an 8, with bonuses 10 (opposed to the creature's 4), which does 2 damage.  So, now the creature hunted is shown as H2 (from H4).  Third round, hunter rolls a 6+2 vs. 4, which does one more damage.  Last round, hunter rolls a 5+2 vs. 2, which results in one more point of damage.  At this point, the creature being hunted is down to 0 health, and is therefore dead.

[Cheddarius]

Me see now, thank much.

Dude, gotta tell ya, I had to save that image as a file then magnify it a few times to make out what it actually said. The combination of that font and the tiny size made it illegible.

I have 3 wood and 2 stone. Shouln't I have used 2 stone and 2 wood making the spears and fire?

Also, where is my baby? In fact I think all the purples had babies. What happened?

about the unreadability, i'll make it bigger then next time, i was afraid it wouldn't fit on the forum.

about the wood and stone, my mistake, i'll rectify it, tough fire doesnt spend a stone, just uses it as tool

about the babies, you and all the purples have 0 turns old babies, they were born this turn. People who have no babies have no number in that part of the table.

i think all the other doubts have been explained already. there is no legend for the actions table, i'll compile one for next turn.

the fighting table has been explained well by belathus, tough that fight doesn't involve more than one tribesmen. in the case of a fight with multiple hunters, the first hunter that rolls less than the animal becomes it's target, and only he will be hurt in the next rounds if he rolls lower than the creature, all the other tribesman will either manage to hit the animal or fail without consequences, unless they roll a 1

[Askot Bokbondeler]

Make little caveman!
make axe.

your color is blue. and you baby isn't grown up yet, so no more babies for you yet.

Oh right I put my action in the wrong thread...My bad.

Two make baby
One Go hunt

sorry, but i need two turns worth of actions from you, as you missed last turn

Me is say gather, get woods, and "expand tribe" if know what mean.

you need two tribesmen to expand tribe, if i know what you mean , so either no gather or no wood

One cave man make axe.
Other cave man get wood. Then, make baby with cave woman. Ha, ha!

same as above, baby need father and mother

[Cheddarius]

Fire not make food good? Me think, cut meat. So, no 9 meat, have 12 meat. Then, have fire. No 12 meat, 16 meat. But, only have 12 meat. Fire not work until next turn?
