That's not a number.

Seriously, how many epochs would it take to build a weapons workshop, arm a population, and send them to explore? I don't understand the answer "send population".

In stead of building an army, ya can use population to scout out areas!

You can just send one Pop to explore. They can't do anything else, and eat food, but can explore.

So I was right!?

So soldiers cannot scout? I would want them to since they can fight off things like barbarians.

Soldiers can scout. Anyone with 2 legs can scout! (no offense people with one or no legs)

[Levis Avara]

So yay or nay?

Okay, culture, want to start with a tech?

Mysticism please

Deal. It requires no maintenance.

My scout costs me nothing. It's very useful.

Hey Hark,

I know people have static military buffs and whatnot, but isn't that better than getting free metal working? I mean when everyone starts learning metal working I will have 0 edge in any way. And my current edge is pretty blunt since I can't build military units rendering my perk useless.

Can someone read my IC post and tell me what my mechanics would be? I'm not too good at this stuff.

Alright, so I'll send them to scout. But still, my question remains. If I want to build the weapons place, arm people, and send them to scout, how many epochs would that take?

I would recommend reading others, I think mine is solid since I explained what I did, in addition to show how much food was collected, consumed, and left over. I haven't added a spot for thought and I'll add it when I'm bothered to build a shrine.

Hmmm... Yes, well, remember that you'll have to maintain techs which means that even after you researched, you'll have to assign 1 population just to preserve knowledge.

Of course, if you are not going to rush out swordsman and storm your neighbors, your bonus isn't going worth that much.
Which makes sense because attacking in mountains is a nightmare. What would you like instead?

*shrugs*

I dunno, I just felt like saying how my ability seems a bit underwhelming considering how everyone else can either compensate for the upkeep and be equal with me or just blow my units out of the water when they have the same tech as me.

Perhaps you should take, like, +1 Raw Material per epoch in the capital for free. That will let you build quite the industrial base rapidly and easily out-produce military civs. Or spawn a free top-tier unit at no cost if attacked.

Well it's still "we're a bunch of stupid people who messes around with tools they make." So the top-tier doesn't make much sense, unless the corkscrew is now the world's greatest weapon. +1 RM seems cool though... but I;m just not feeling it.

Well, how about something related to your foxes.

I changed it... I decided to give Harbertia's world of zid lore a quick nod by choosing to use his Kobold Bold race. What I'm referring to

Those foxes where so much cuter!

But the Kobolds are so much fun to make characters for. I think 2 of my favorite chars I've made came from that.

[The Flame Dawn]

I'm gonna edit my mechanics post if that's okay.

[Naval Monte]

So which region is still left for me to take?

[Harkback Union]

So which region is still left for me to take?

Check the latest map, its in the OP of this thread.

[Harkback Union]

I'll be back in 12 hours. If anything needs sorted out, let the mob rule.
