casualties from war have been changed from half CE to a third CE and also destroy buildings;

All was right except this, you're looking at the raiding portion. It was always like that.

Also, the stockpiles reduce consumption by 10 rather than 5.

It says you have 5 level 5 members with a number from 1-10.

What does level do then?

Level=effectiveness

Just a term I've been using.

[eclipsetail]

Then what's the 2-10 for?
Are they both effectiveness?

[techno65535]

Uhh...if the kobold's CE is multiplied then you wouldn't need to round at all. (when stealing with them)

Indeed... a leftover from the previous rules. I'll squelch that out.

2 through 10 and any number in between represent a unit's effectiveness.

Hookay... I'll start as soon as I get the race and subleaders of Rolan7 and techno65535.

My tribe of kobolds is called the Green Slivers.  They are led by the warlord Bitter-Ear.  A trog cut off one of his ears.  He ate that trog.

You should set a time limit on that Shad0w. Give them 24 hours or so to show up, if not, pull from the waiting list.

Yeah, I'll put up that warning.

I really enjoyed reading through this. Had a few thoughts that might balance things out a bit / make pleyers more cautious:

- Make higher leveled tribals consume more food per turn. Typically speaking, the more productive/badass members of the tribe got the most and the best food, while the more useless members got the scraps. Just divide their level by two and round up, and use the result to determine how much they consume.

- I like that "Your weakest tribe-members die first" when starving, but techbically it should be your oldest members. Give a generation for each member. Your starting five are Generation 1, any born on the next breeding are Generation 2, and so on. This should limited how many tribals they use for breeding (since more per generation means a greater loss while starving), and it can cause you to lose higher level members to something other than the Bolt spell.

- Roll more than twice for levels on new tribals, if applicable. If you've got six newborns, and you only roll twice, you have a 1 in 10 chance of getting three level tens. That's just the start of possible crazy.

- Add a failure chance for hunting. Seriously, hunting could go wrong and lose you some tribals.

- Come up with a way to force players to do more than "turtle" in their camps. Currently, you can just have a good chunk of your low-level guys breed every-turn, while you high level guys do nothing but hunt (bringing in ever increasing amounts of meat and bones) while your shaman uses his massive bone pile to cast flaming death at everyone else. My suggestions will probably help with that (making the above strategy a bit riskier, and with less reward), but you might want to tweak some of the other formulas as well.

This might be a good plan. I'll write that in my future changes txt.

This could cause some complexity in the stat fields, it is interesting though... added.

I made it two rolls for a reason, so I don't have to roll an excessive amount of times. Besides, possible crazy is fun.

- Add a failure chance for hunting. Seriously, hunting could go wrong and lose you some tribals.

Definitely going in the next game. Thanks.

Your suggestions should alleviate that. Thank you.

All start with 5 level 5s instead of the randomness in the first. There will still be plenty of random stuff this game however.
