Map of the Known World

Spoiler: Backstory (click to show/hide)

You are a group of people who have set sail for the New World in the hope that here you cna find riches, fame, glory, religious freedom, or just freedom in general. You have come to this land on the ship known as the Freedom Giver it has brought you to a new home with vast lands yet to be explored, adn riches unfound. This place will be your home from now on, and it will be your children,and their children's home as they grow, and develop here in this new, and mysterious land.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

This is a semi free form suggestion game (Kind of Like DF, but during the colonization of the New World) where you must lead your group of settlers to build a successful village, town, or city, and keep your people alive for as long as possible. You will encounter many troubles such as animals, hostile(or friendly) natives, and disease, and you must persevere so that your people will prosper, and survive in this harsh New World.

You will need two main resources to survive at first for your ship can be used as a shelter to some extent, and these two resources are Food, and Drink.

Food - Food is a much needed resource for without it your people will starve, and all your troubles, and efforts put forth here will be for naught. Each settler consumes 1 units of food a day (Six Turns), and 2 units a day if injured, or sick.

Water - Water is the second most important resource for without it your people will die of thirst, and all your efforts will be naught. Each settler consumes 2 Units of Water, or some other drink a day, and 4 units if injured, or sick.

Lumber
To gather lumber you have to send people to chop down trees which takes 7 turns for 1 tree, and these trees come from the vast see of forest tiles all over the map, and each forest tile contains 7 trees for you to chop down.
If there is anything else you need to know I will add them as you ask for it, but your first job should be to get a camp set up, and some form of protection against wild animals.

Disease
Your settlers can get sicknesses from bad food, stagnant water, and at night if not kept warm enough. When you eat rotten foor, adn stagnant water your settlers have a 50% chance to contract a disease from it, and at night if your Warmth isn't 5 or higher than you have a 25% chance to catch a cold, or pnemonia.

This is a quick game I came up with that seemed like alot of fun, so come on, and join also you can name the 14 settlers that are here, but give them reasonable names please, and also this is a suggestion game keep that in mind also if you have any questions do ask.

Looks brilliant, count me in! especially as my one sucks so hard.

I really don't want to make this a multiplayer game, but if people want me to I will. (Also I use ASCIIPaint for the maps since it is so much easier to make the maps with it)

[Deadmeat1471]

I always mistake suggestion games for multiplayer. Still i'll be involved

[ottottott]

I got some questions before I'd make a suggestion.
Sea water is probably undrinkable?
And those acronyms (probably) in the stocks spoiler are rather unclear.
Also, we might need shovels or pickaxes.
I suggest that we send 6 of them to plow 10 2x2 fields, so we could but stuff growing. It takes such a long time, that we'll need to start early.
The other 6 can go cut down some trees in the west.
Are we going to need water for these fields? They'll probably be have to made in the soil. So I think it'd be best if we'd place them in the largest area right north of the most west human.
EDIT: Damn... Three replies already. I see we have 2 more leftover. Perhaps make them set up tents in the northern clearing. On the grass.

Ah its fine since this will work as either, but I prefer suggestion since it will allow more freedom with building, and things like that.

1.) Sea Water is undrinkable
2.) A= Accuracy (That Number, and below are hits), D= Damage (This is definite so the number of the weapon, adn ammo (if there is some) combined is damage cause), GU= Gunpowder used per shot, SC= Shots Count (Number before empty), TC= Total Capacity (people wise), W= Warmth (Helps keep disease at bay), PR= People Required to carry it all ammo will have this, T= Turns Required before action is complete (Woodcutting, Plowing, ETC.)
3.)Ok adding now also their is a source of water in the forest somewhere (Only hint you will get)

[Deadmeat1471]

Citizen Deadmeat volunteers to scout the forest! Westwards! for water and berries and such.

[adwarf]

Updating the map a bit right now I will have a turn up soon, and statuses for the civilians along with it.

[adwarf]

Turn - 1, Camp is Set, and Farming Begins


Not long after the settlers arrive on the New World the curious settler Dogmeat goes off to find a source of water, and other things for watering the fields that would soon be built. As he disappeared into the forest the women set off to plow fields for their grain, and to set up the tents for the camp. Meanwhile the men took their axes, adn set about felling some trees to use for various projects they would soon begin construction upon. As the settlers toil away four Hours pass, and the sun is higher in the sky than when the first arrived. (Two More Turns of Day left (Animals such as wolves prowl the forest at night beware))

Excellent. I say we continue on doing what we are. Perhaps Deadmeat wants to return from the search and inform others of his discovery? I'd also like to claim a settler. Name him Ott.

[adwarf]

Ok also I forgot to tell you that each forest tile contains 7 trees (So that you don't burn through them faster than light. If they get eaten throuhg to fast I will bump it to 12

[adwarf]

It seems the poll is 50 50 now (Who voted besides ott I wonder) so its a tie at the moment also I have added a couple of basic structures to the building list.

[ottottott]

I think everyone's busy. Maybe inform if the current jobs are completed?
Also, I believe we could let Deadmeat, and that settler, who finished with the tents, find some flint on the beach, gather some sticks on the way back, and make a campfire in the middle of our tents.
Are multiple layers a possibility? I'm sure we'd need stone and metal and that can only be obtained through mining. Will there be a mine map, or just a hole on the main map to represent the mine?

[adwarf]

The logging, and plowing won't be done for a while as shown by their statuses, but yep Deadmeat, and the women who set up the tents are free also once you get some stuff thats tradeable you can send the ship back to sell stuff (Not sure how long I should make it take there)

Yep I will have multiple layers, so that building multiple floor buildings, or digging underground is possible (Please note though that you will need planks to make a porper mine, ro you risk it collapsing, and killing your miner.) Also working on a turn now.
