Hark, how the hell does agriculture work? According to one bit 2 pop can work to produce 3 food on just fertile land, yet upgrading to a farm gives exactly the same yield and thus seems a bit pointless. Unless upgrading to a farm is required to work fertile land, but then why does it say fertile land can be worked at all and with no reference to farms

Also, G, how are you producing 6 food with 3 peeps on farms? You need 4 peeps, 2 per farm, to make 6 food.

Iirc, you have build Agriculture on Fertile Land before you can make food. Fertile land without agriculture is just a possibility, not a practicality.

My specialization is that I gain +1 Food from Agriculture in my acclimatized Domain, so in essence two workers produce 4 Food instead of 3. That translates to three workers making six food, essentially freeing up a spare worker for other tasks compared to most civs, which will only have 2 free workers.

W8! Hold on! Didn't we agree to +1 fertile land each eon?

[Harkback Union]

Did you not read the OP or something?

I glanced at it..... hint hint I'm kinda of lazy

I'll do it in the IC 6th post in an hour.

[Levis Avara]

So what would be the best way to build a lot of culture?

[Rygondria]

what did you think of my suggestion?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh, I thought it said epochs.

I guess I'll just take the +1 Food then.

You see know, this whole RP is just my newest sinister plot to confuse the hell out of everyone.
Eons, Eras, Epoch(es?)...
...Domains, Thought, knowledge maintenance...

Knowledge maintenance? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

[Seno Zhou Varada]

For the corruption thing that prevents large empires from spawning, am I penalty free for having 2 domains or taking 2 domains after the first?

Its the total domain count that matters.

[Harkback Union]

Suggestions are always welcome

I remember this rp that had something called a decay system. Basically when you got a certain amount of provinces you would be considered an empire. As you know all empires are destined to collapse and the system was that your empire decay would increase as time goes by untill your empire collapsed. Of course you could spend some points to lower your decay and make the empire last a little longer. Even if your empire collapses the provinces you owned would be still affected by your culture.

Yes, yes. Revolt risk and corruption does that now. You can lower risk of revolts massively with oppression but it will happen eventually.

How do I get more wealth?

A New Civilization
Civilization name: Comit [Comb-it]
Short past story:

Comit was some sort of an idea that was spawned out of a kind of necessity, the necessity to not completely annihilate similar peoples due to stupid quarrels and contentious leaders. Several respected tribal leaders (these would be your witch doctors/voodoo priests) and several early worldly figures decided to devise a plan to remove their leaders from power and unite under a loose yet somewhat centralized power. After several years of political scheming of the best sort, each conspirator was placed in a position of decent power in their respective tribes, and then the trap was sprung. Overnight, the warlords of several tribes were replaced with a benevolent technocracy, which, as soon as they received power, conceded it to a small educational institution, of which most of the leaders were already leading anyway. The College encouraged a high level of education in a variety of subjects and also encouraged innovation, invention, and critical thinking among the general populace and the leadership consequently tended to invest in solutions that involved ingenuity and new technology.

The College was declared to be constructed in the small tribal homeland of the Reak peoples for their strategic location near a river, and it was heavily encouraged that most of the neighboring tribes move to the city and, in some extreme instances, they were forced there by armed soldiers. This created a sort of minor melting-pot situation, while the cultures of the Comit tribes were very similar, they were also distinct in some way. It was through this way, over a slow process, the uniform language the Comit people speak was created.

It appears I've severely underestimate the amount of maintenance It takes to run this RP.
Would any unit of roleplaying population be interested in helping out? It will be rewarded with 1 C~ Each Earth day, but requires one to know the ways of Gimp .

We could always use the mtereic system

The Pop - 1

The DecaPop - 0.1

The CentiPop - 0.01

The DekoPop - 10

and so on and so on.

[Vulnier]

Is it possible that I can still change my speciality?

I have no clue... did I mention I'm watching SNL and not paying attention. Did you mean a system of counting or a systym of military units?

[Harkback Union]

Of course! What would you like?

[ApplePieistan]

I have one more question before I post. If I want to build a weapons workshop, arm a population, and send them to explore, how many epochs would that take?
