Orcs Orcs Orcs Orcs!!!!!!

I like the "screw the world"-ness of the Grigori, so my vote's for them.

I agree.  To hell with the gods and their machinations against the world of mortals! Grigori forever!

[Frumple]

Sidin' with the golem-makers. Puppy Midget power!

[Solifuge]

Alright, it looks like the top 3 are Luchurip, Grigori, and Illians. I'll keep taking votes for a bit longer while I set up the map, and will reserve my own vote for last.

BEHOLD! Democracy In Action:
Luchurip         3.3
Grigori          2.5
Illians          1.8
Clan of Embers   1.0
Shiem            0.8
Svartalfar       0.5
Amurites         0.0
Bannor           0.0
Hippus           *BZZT* Wrong!

[Phantom]

Aw yeah! The minority has a line over it!

But within all seriousness, Grigori.

[EuchreJack]

Luchurip!

[Delta Foxtrot]

Ride forth the green horde, and in crimson tide drown them all!

So orcs.

[Lysabild]

Guess it's all going to be about dem golems.

[Deon]

As a minor developer and a major tester of RiFE I must say that Luchuirp are not the most interesting race. You miss all magic (dwarves don't get mages or archmages) and a lot of other races' custom mechanics. Playing as Illians would be 100 times funnier. But your choice.

[~♫] Chapter 1: The End of Winter
In which Goodreau thumbs his nose at gods and advisers alike.


In a small Grigori encampment, somewhere in Erebus...

Councilors, I come with news. Some scouts have found the site of Odio's Prison, on a bay just a few days northwest of camp.

You might recall the legend behind it... back when the long Winter was still on us, Lord Cassiel told us how Odio was a fellow angel, who fought for Aeron in the Godswar. Aeron was always a bloody god, and the same went for his servants; even after the truce put an end to their war, his angels fought on. When Kilomorph grew angery with his wayward angel, she demanded Aeron withdraw his divine protection from Odio, and abandon him to her will... which Aeron did, with little more than a second thought.



It's said Kilomorph turned Odio to stone, and left him here as a lesson to those who think to defy the will of the gods. If you asked me, it just goes to prove that no matter how much devotion we show these gods, they'll still screw us over when we need them.

With that said, councilors, I really can't think of a better monument for our people to settle by. Besides, with the weather getting warmer every day, and the ice and snow retreating, it's about time we stopped camping in the woods, and started rebuilding. What do you say?



...by the way, I hope you're about to say "Yes, Goodreau!" because I may have already given Settlers the go-ahead. Oops, minor oversight on my part.

I set the laborers to build a log palisade right now, but before they're done we'll need to figure out what to focus on next. Training more workers would help us develop the land, while training scouts and warriors will help us explore it, and make contact with other survivors. Scouts report old roads in the area too, which might mean there are city ruins from before the long Winter nearby. We might do well to explore them, but it could be dangerous... who knows what might have taken up residence there since.

Oh, and before I forget, our new capitol is going to need a name. Any ideas?

Double post, all the way across the thread!

So intense!

[Deon]

A worker and a warrior to protect our settlement is a must!

[Lorgath]

Amazing, I've just discovered FFH2 and the Sims3 (after playing my christmas binge games for about five minutes) and suddenly there's let's plays of both.

Excellent choice with the Grigori. One of my favourite civs to play too, although I am rather fond of Khazad and Amurites too. Still havn't got round to playing an evil race yet though.

Can't say I'm a fan of Rise from Erebus though. I don't like the new civs, the mechanos in particularly: Steampunk/Techpriests. Ugh. Steampunk is great, but they really could have tried harder with the ideas.

I think the capital city has to be "Twelfth Bay" really doesn't it? I also think the first priority should be getting at least 3 warriors to sit around in the capital. Barbarians are fun...

Anal retentive mode go go go:
It irritates me a little that they call the Grigori "agnostic." They are not agnostic. Agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in higher powers, due to lack of certifiable evidence for either argument. Nor are the Grigori athiest. Athiesim is the complete rejection of deities because of personal belief that such beings are impossible. Therefore, neither term is appropriate. Why? Well, unless I've misread the bits of lore in the Civolopedia the Grigori know that gods exist without a shadow of a doubt (Cassiel is an angel, after all), but choose to reject them. A more appropriate term is needed, but I'm not aware of one. Atheism is a combination of "theism" (the belief in at least one deity) and the "a prefix" (meaning not). So perhaps Antitheist would be a far better term.

Otherwise, good luck!

[Aklyon]

Isn't the steampunk race the same as in Orbis, though?

[Lorgath]

Yes, and it's crap there too.
