Turn is nearly done.  Note for the future:  If you try to give multiple techs with a Minor Act, I will ignore the strongest, grant the weakest and give the mortals a chance to devise the second-weakest on their own.  MY IG justification for this is that you're burning knowledge straight into their head.  More than one technology and they get migraines and start forgetting things.  I didn't mind bundling in the long life so much, but I'll be watching for it in the future.

Turn up, ETA half an hour.

Edit:  Also, getting additional Acts (i.e. additional power) will become exponentially more difficult as you go along.  Getting the number or intensity of worshipers that will get you from 1 Act to 2 Acts will not get you to 3 Acts.

Sorta like Commander Shepard and that prothean artifact.

Alrighty, I'm in. So we all have our own tribe of followers, yes? Is it possible to gain worshippers outside of that tribe?

*sigh* I'd knew he betray my me, hence why I told him not to thank me.

oh well.. *plots his revenge*

writing up my post.

Nevermind forgot we skipped 100 years instead of 50.

Now I have nothing.

Well its time for Lilith to give her life to save the village it seems. And also time to grant another the ability of stronger Geomancy for the teaching of others.

What's the level of technology of the clans? Do they have any metals?

Mine has access to them, the Spider Clan does as well.

Ores =\= Metals

You should know that, this is a dwarf fortress forum.

I believe were in the STONE age as it were.

Indeed, because they can get ore does not mean they can make them useful. For them, it's only shiny rocks.

[adwarf]

I said we have access to them, not that we have them

[King_of_the_weasels]

made my post, I didn't really use much of an action this time either, but if necessary i'm willing to expend one to make sure what shoot and run does, does in fact happen.

edit- btw you should always read my guys dialogue in Mark Hammil's joker voice.

Done with mine. If it's too much for 1 minor act, then I'll change it.

You most definitely can get worshippers outside of your tribe.  It's just easier at the start to get them in the tribe you begin with.  Thus you can increase your power by a) Growing the size of that tribe (i.e. more followers are born), b) Proselytising (converting new adherents) or c) Increasing the fervency of worship (i.e. create more fanatics rather than lay followers).

Right smack in the early stone age.  Flint spears, barely even native copper picked up from the ground and beaten into tools.

I was going to point out in my first draft that had to be scrapped, cause of the timeline, that pretty much all Aford's "son" was wearing was a fur shawl and a lion cloth.

Pretty much were not at pants technology yet, in my eyes.

also how are we going to deal with gods meeting, would that be a turn in of it's self or is it more whenever you want?  Also how many turns are we going to get in this "age"?

[Iituem]

The Third Age will continue until men go into space using technology, so... maybe a hundred plus turns.  The Stone Age will continue until you successfully gather the technologies and power bases to form cities and work copper and smelt bronze.  The Early Stone Age will end once people make the transition from nomadism to semi-nomadism to settlement (agriculture is a big factor here).

Also, it's too late now but I f-cked up the turn.  Slask's followers were supposed to have a chance to invent writing because of Slask's message (in a form that all mortals could understand, despite pre-literacy - blame divine power).  I suppose he'll just have to be happy with a massive tribe of sacrifice-mongers.
