Spark of Civilization - OOC/Signups (Semi-Open) - Antiquity

[Jute]

Would you say it's worth more than a starting technology?

Depends; I'd go with two techs over one, but you will lose out of five epochs worth of one tech's benefits, in essence.

Sorry, I don't understand that second part

[Valrifell]

Hey, Hark, can I request a benefit relating to stone sculpting? If I have natural marble in a desert, I want to have them essentially dig out their homes in man-made underground cities.

If you choose to start with a tech, you start with that tech's benefits.

If you choose to gain free knowledge over time, it'll be five turns before you can research the same tech, no? Of course, then you can also gain another tech.

[G-Tech Corporation]

What are you saying?

That I first had to build Agriculture in order to produce food.

You begin with two Agriculture built.

+2 Devepment from extracting stone/granite/marble sources?
The bonus would cap at 10.

Doesn't seem fair considering how he asked for a perk based around his resource he just found out about...

[Lunas Legion]

Hark, what about my speciality which we never finished picking?

Nothing can explain how much I`m raging right now. Next time someone please tell me that I don`t have to built it on my 2 tiles.

And now I`ve lost most of my pop which is going to throw me back.

And otherwise I start with two technologies, but need ten turns before I get a new one, right? Maybe I should look up that part in the rulebook...

What? No haha. You start with no tech, like everyone else.

But you could, as your bonus, start with a tech, or start with free over-time research towards tech.

So it's either 1 technology from the beginning, or two after five turns? Am I getting this right now? Sorry, I got a bit confused.

One at the beginning, or one at five and another at ten.

[Harkback Union]

Any clue when the next Epoch is upon us? I'm itching to do stuff

I'll need 12 more hours to take careofthings but you can already post your plans for the nextepoch.

Alright, just have one question left: In the former case, the next one would be when? At twenty? Ten as well?

[Harkback Union]

Hark, what about my speciality which we never finished picking?

Hmmm, you choose anything.

[Harkback Union]

Wadden-Amrum was moved to another continent. Their current starting domain no longer counted as a starting domain and is up for the grabs.

[G-Tech Corporation]

One at the beginning, or one at five and another at ten.

Technically none- you have to build a Shrine to do any effectual research, but if you build one immediately, six turns.

Oh, thanks. I think I'll pick that option anyway.
Harkback, did you find a starting domain for me now?

[Vulnier]

But doesn't one population have to stay in the shrine for it to do effective research?

[Harkback Union]

Ooops, big mistake in the rules, or more like, big mistake from my part in informing everyone that moving populations into empty domains without being able to supply them with food will get them killed, and since the road networks are the only way to deliver food to another domain, some of your populations will starve to death.

However, because the rules does not specify whether movement comes before food production/consumption, I'll allow pops to consume the food they need at any part of the turn, thus allowing for the populations moved after they have "eaten" (lets say they brough some food with themselves). But even then, everyone will have to rush out a road network or get some wealth production running to feed populations in underdevelopped domains.

[The Flame Dawn]

Hey Hark, I;m gonna sound dumb, but how do we raise our population?

[Harkback Union]

Hey Hark, I;m gonna sound dumb, but how do we raise our population?

Just add more. They will count as kids in their first epoch, which means that they have to be fed and are useless, but afterwards, they will enter your workforce.

There is a limitation for how much you can add. Underdevelopped civs start at 50% of the total population, that's 3 pop addable each epoch.

cool. So what are the starting development levels? (feels dumb) Also, how to Hovels play in this, or do they just add development for each pop assigned to them (which I assume doesn't use the population's action.)

[G-Tech Corporation]

Presumably we start with an Abyssmal Development level.

Also, Hark, can those of us who actually started in the center gain +1 Wealth?

And can a new settlement be supplied with food from an old one with a Road? Cause otherwise you need at least three wealth to settle anywhere...

Everyone gets the +1 because its crowded everywhere!

And its pobably gonna get even tougher when I start spawning new civs as barbarian hordes invading from the southern deserts or the sea!!
