SCORE. I wanted to be next to an ocean.

[KaguroDraven]

Damn, I was hopeing for a mountain to be my Holy Mountain close by, eh oh well.

[BlastoiseWarlorf]

On the down side though, I am on a plain. So no stable wood sources.

Uhhhh... What was the map making thing called? Hex something right?

Plains and Light Forests (tiles with 1 tree) count as Ample terrain. Heavy forests (multiple trees) or mountainous tiles (any tile with a mountain symbol) count as Harsh terrain. Desert and wasteland tiles are uninhabitable. And now I will start the write-up on what you can do.

For reference: Ample terrain can support 2 tokens, Harsh can support 1. Lush terrain (none here, though it can be created through magic or found) can support 3 tiles.

My next post will explain how this works a bit, as far as what you can do.

I used Hexographer and Maptool for that. I <3 Hexographer.

As you can see, you all have 1 black token. This is your tribe, and represents approximately 100 people who are able to work. The tribe contains more people than that, but they are abstracted for our purposes unless they become important.

I will only be explaining things as we go, because you are new entities and are still learning how the world works.

A black token can be given the following seasonal activities:

Army Service - The black token becomes a red military token. The people spend the season arming themselves as best they can. At the end of the turn they become a red token representing 50 fighting men. They aren't particularly well-trained or well-armed, but they are a damn sight better than civilians.

Construction - The people work together to build something which provides a benefit. Constructions often take more than one season, but unfinished constructions can be put off and finished later.

Migration - The people uproot and move to a new tile, spending the entire season moving to a new hex and setting themselves up to survive there. The token may move to any adjacent territory.

Nothing - The people spend the season celebrating and making merry, and by 'making merry' I really mean 'making babies.' This is the only way to generate new tokens. A black token given this order has a chance, depending on the quality and current population of its tile, to create a white token.

Worship - The people spend the season enacting holy rituals and worshipping you. The token generates double the normal belief this turn.

Wise One

You're a big floating eyeball with infuriating plans?

[KaguroDraven]

I do not understand the referance, please explain.

Note, these are not the limit of what you can do. Dealing with the people of your tribe is more of a strategy game, while the divine side will be more role-play centric. If you wish to do something beyond what I've listed at any time, feel free to say so and I will parse it and spit out a result.

It's a character from the GBA game Golden Sun. One of the best recent RPGs.

[KaguroDraven]

Ah, I do not own a working GBA and I can't afford many games, otherwise I would likely own it.

[forsaken1111]

GBA = Gameboy Advance?

I stopped buying gameboys after my 3rd, several years ago.

[KaguroDraven]

I've only had one, a DS, lost the cord to recharge it years ago so it doesn't work.

[forsaken1111]

I think I will make a game thread for in-game roleplay and turns and make this one an OOC discussion thread.

[KaguroDraven]

Smart move, what with the habit of getting off topic this board seems to have.
