And which one are we practising? (I'm just confused because you wrote wet farming instead of dry farming up there.)

Ah.

However, I am sure you can guess.

Well, you said that our farmer were doing wet farming, but that at the same time there was no irrigation whatsover.

I believe that the farming tools that are so vital at this juncture must be improved

Cyrus tries to make more advanced farming tools

Turn up soon. Just have to change the values a bit, to reflect a 3-month turn instead of a two month. Still thinking of a way to model supply and demand. Got production done to my satisfaction.

Oleb I (Nirur Torir):
You talk with Sheb about making a meeting hall, and agree to build it next turn. (2+1) The townsfolk are fine with the council being formed. (That was all you were doing for your turn, right?)

Sheb (Sheb):
(3) The townsfolk are fine with your idea about the insurance, though you notice that nobody volunteers part of their crops. Oh well, you can figure something out next time. After all, you have to make carrying grain easier! (6) The fellow townsfolk are impressed with Sheb's invention. His 'boat' can float on water! Sheb explains, from the 'boat' itself, how it can be 'sailed' from farm to farm, collecting the grain. The boat is light enough that two men could carry it, as it is made of reed, full of grain. More importantly, it has less spillage than carring grain by hand. The idea came to Sheb when one of his previous designs for a 'land boat' (his next project) floated when iy fell into the water. From there, it was a short step to a 'boat'

Ronald "Plump of Helmets" (Blackdutchie):
Waiting for the end of the harvest, you go explore the surround land, to mark places that would be good for huntng. (2+1)

Spoiler: map (click to show/hide)

Ochita (Ochita):
After making lots of beer, you move on to the problem of making stone blocks. (AUTO-FAIL) After trying many ways of putting rocks together, you decide that the only way to make stone blocks would be to carve them out of a larger one.

Cyrus Wolfe (maxicaxi):
(AUTO-FAIL) Needless to say, you can find no way to improve the stone tools that have been developed over a period of 1000 years. (Not that you would know this) At least you made some regular stone tools.



With the wet season arriving, everyone builds temporary stuctures, above the water line, and move all their oxen and pocessions up to it, temporarily abandoning their farms until the flooding stops, bringing new, black soil with it. After the harvest festivals, everyone waits for the floods to arrive, anxious to plant the spring crop.

As always, feel free to ask for any explainations you might need.

Point out anything that I have missed (I am a bit rushed), and for this next trun, please put a summary of your actions in bold. That would help.

Will explore hills to the north at earliest convenience. Hope to get a better view up high.

MINI-UPDATE:

As the council members talk in Sheb's house, their temporary meeting place, two men walk in, carring another one, who is beaten up badly. They explain how the man they carry between them, named Helop, had killed a farmer, in order to marry the farmer's wife. However the two men, Melos and Likos who were brothers of the dead farmer, had witnessed the deed and had subdued Helop. Not knowing what to do afterwards, they decided to bring him to the council, for judgement.

((I was asking Ochita to help build the meeting hall, not Sheb.
How much food do we have? It would help to know how many farmers we could spare.))

The sun hung low in the horizon, as the council members prepared for their meeting, chatting amongst themselves idly.

Oleb I entered, slightly late and with a troubled look on his face. The chatting died down.
"Father showed me another vision last night, one he knew not the meaning of. It was ... confusing. I spent the day meditating on it, trying to glean what I could off it. I saw scenes of our men slain where they stood, while the women and children were gathered up to be eaten." He sighed, shaking his head sadly. "As always, there must be a way to stop this from coming to pass. Are there any-" He was cut off by the men entering.

He glared icily into the accused man's eyes, allowing his fellow councilmen to speak first.

I'm reworking that part now. As such, it'll have no effect, for now. Also, it is the wet season (I knew I forgot something.) That means floods. That means everybody heads for dry land, (Near the village square) and sits around till it floods. Meaning, you can take as many farmers as possible.

Let me pull up a list of Tech that we have
Spoiler: Tech list (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Religion (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Goverment (click to show/hide)

Ochita looked over his clay tablets. The whole stone block idea didn't work. He had to look towards other ideas. Maybe if he decided apon a way to... That might work. Ooh that could go there... *Later* Almost... Done! Displayed apon several different slabs of clay was a design for a Sort of what could be called a Crush stone. It has 2 large stones that rub against eachother to grind the corn (I'm guessing we have learnt how to make bread. Tools have been used to make a hollow where the grains are. The main way of moving it is by a clay disk on top that has wood sticking out.


(Quern will hopefully increase the food per turn or something...? We also need to improve the fields. If we are to do anything big.) Try and invent Quern, I shall make bows. 10 craftsmen shall make arrows.

Ochita was in the middle of the meeting discussing his ideas when the men came in. He mimiced Olebs stare. "Just to get this right, you killed a man, just to bed his wife... You two did the right thing. Console the wife. If I hear anything happened to her heads will roll... As to that man I personally think that we should test him to the spirits. If they let him live after 1 year away from us then he shall under go a trial to rejoin us, but he shall not be treated like you or I."

Ronald sat in the meeting with only slight interest. Waking up slightly at the prospect of being killed where he stood, when the men came in.
Hearing of their situation and Ochita's Judgement, he thought that possibly this man could, instead of a prolonged casting out, be used as a permanent scout:

'We should have him report back of his experiences every season. He may yet serve the village and the villagers he wronged by doing so.'
