Civilization Domination RP; OOC

[Reatra]

It is 400 BCE, and mankind's advancements have allowed him to build nations. Not like the tribal villages made by ancient clans, but real centers of trade and commerce. Though none are really large enough to be considered an empire. Agriculture has brought man control. Not just over food supply, which is good in itself, but also over nature as a whole. But these nations need guidance to become the great cities they are destined to be.

Hello! Reatra here and in making another RP. This time set in pre-civilized times, where you lead a small village into the light of technology and wonder. If you're interested, sign up!


APP:

RULES!!!
• Obviously no god-modding, meta-gaming, etc.
• Of you fight anyone, even an NPC, DO NOT over power them. Imagine you we're that opponent. Would you want to be stomped on? Now, if you have 1000 bronze-armed men and your fighting tribes, that's different.
• NO FLAMING OF INSULTS. Use your common sense.
• The IC currently progresses at 50 years per day.

[Equalium]

Well well! Interesting! Love to see how this evolves. Hopefully not too fast. Maybe it will or not!

Name of village: Busilles
Population(no more than 2000): 1600
Description of village(like what the buildings are made of, what special buildings(not huts) there are, etc. ): Bausilles had basic mud housing. Alot of the houses do not have any doors, but many mats cover them as doors. Frames are made of basic wood around the area. It's pretty much a collection of housings and basic industries. Busilles produces Mats made of some grasses, and hunts local foods around. Busilles is described as a Amazonian-like town, and women are the ones incharge, while men stay back behind and take care of the young.
Location: Brussels, Belgium
Religion: Personificationism, believes in a Mother goddess that watches over the town.
Government(either despotism or tribal democracy or something of the sort): Tribal Democracy but run by a Queen.
Leader(s): Queen Tixulit Hyuuk
Other notes: Nope. Except there is local wild life, fishes, and forest.

[Pecuniam (Ancient)]

Shit, I was going to be in the Netherlands lol, you don't mind some competition up there do you? I'm half way through my app

[Equalium]

Ahahahahaha. Maybe.

[Reatra]

Updated the map, and accepted!

[Pecuniam (Ancient)]

Name of village: Arh
Population: 800
Description of village: A good sized community at the centre of the Island of Urk, the people of Arh go about their lives in a civil, peaceful manner, herding cattle, fishing, gathering wild fruits and making things like pottery or clothing, the only breaks from this routine being religious ceremonies, such as animal sacrifices or ritual duels between warriors, the town itself consists of about a a dozen large circular enclosures, each of which contains several households, a cooking area, shelter for animals etc., each household can fit up to ten people and are usually only used for sleeping, with most people out and about all day.

There are also several outlying farms in the woods and a few fishing hamlets on the coast, these are not so much independent communities as extensions of Arh, the total population of all the outlying areas is only about one tenth that of Arh itself, and they follow with the rest of the tribe wherever the Chief leads.

Location: Urk, an Isle in the Almere.
Religion: pre-Germanic paganism and nature worship
Government: Chieftainship, the title is passed on to the chief's oldest son.
Leader(s): Chief Warnar, his wife Aenor and the Priestess Jutta.
Other notes: I think I may go for culture like this one. Swifterband Culture

Edit: I should explain that this far back in the past, the Netherlands looked quite a lot different, the North sea had not yet made incursions into the land, which made the large lakes we have today, but the old lakes had not been drained yet either, so where we today have places like Almere and Flevoland, there would in this roleplay be lakes with a few scattered islands.

[Reatra]

Re-updated OP.

[Pecuniam (Ancient)]

Sweet! this will be good.

[Reatra]

Ummm Hmmm.

At this rate I can make the IC tomorrow!

[Bujahla]

OMG Yeah! I've been dying to do a RP like this (I was late to join HoM II). So many places to chose from!

Name of village: Village of Kimas (Key-mas)
Population: 2,000
Description of village: The village of Kimas is a rather large village. The houses are made of mud bricks and reed mats gathered from the banks of the Nile. The majority of the village is just small huts with one extended family to each hut. They are spaced far enough away from the river, so that when it floods, they aren't damaged. As well as these, their is usually a communal eating grounds where people will go and eat with other people from the village, there's the house of the ruler which is much larger and more advanced due to family succession of the land, as well their is the shrine to the gods which people go to daily to pray at whatever time fits them best, and finally there is the storage buildings where the people store food together in case of an emergency like a drought.
Location: Memphis, Egypt
Religion: polytheistic religion that will develop into something similar to that of ancient Egypt's
Government: The 'chief' (called a Pharif) is a title passed down from family member to family member (Male or female). They are the person in charge of the village, but they do not do much. Their lists of duties: solve civil problems, deal with foreign relations, manage food storage, make the people happy. The chief's are taught from birth how to be a good chief and how they must make the village happy or suffer the wrath of the gods in the form of a revolt. It is because of that the vast majority of chief's are good. When one isn't they are removed and the most prominent member in the community becomes the chief. Their are no other governing bodies in the village, as the chief can handle most of the work.
Leader: Pharif Nassor
Other notes: Nothing really. Farms everything ancient Egypt farmed so grains, fruits, beans, etc.

[Timothia]

Name of village: Gualiia

Population: 1200: 600 Guallii (traditionally farmers), 300 Caspescii (traditionally warrior/hunters), 200 Holii (traditionally craftsmen), and 100 Forenii (traditionally preists and thinkers)

Description of village:In Guallia, each division of the family tends to reside in their own quarter of the well-organized city. The city itself traces the coastline from a sheer cliff to sprawling farmland. Apple trees grow naturally across the hillsides, and the ocean provides and abundant source of fish and oysters.

Location: Modern-day Normandy, France, along coastline

Religion: Ancestor worship

Government: Guallia is basically four overgrown families: the Caspescii, the Holii, the Forenii, and the Guallii. The current ruler is Aodhagan Guallii. When he dies, the head of the family of Caspescii will acquire Chief status. When he dies, the title will be passed to the head of the Hollii, then to the forenii, and so forth in that order. The Chief's decisions are the law, but he consults with the heads of the other families though he isn't required to do so.

Leader: Aodhagan Guallii, see above

Other notes: The Caspescii dislike the Holii, considering them a weaker class of people. The Forenii are revered by the entire city for their wisdom. Little to no hunting is done anymore in Guallia.

I thought that Egypt and the Middle East would be more crowded, that's why I chose Genoa, but I guess not.

[Serretes]

Name of village: Raevenna
Population(no more than 2000): 1337

Friends?

[Reatra]

You're already on the list and the map.


If you find me, we can be friends, but you'll have to cross *DUN DUN DUUUUUN* the Alps

[Serretes]

We shall see, but something could easily be worked out. Like economic exchanges.
