In any case, I'll get a decent backstory up soon when I have time.
When it says that MINES are free to build, does that mean that I start with 5 in my home province, or something else?


Well, pretty much. You can just spawn mines if you need them. Also, your starting province should be immune to industrial-age air attacks.

Okay then. Thank You!

In the modern world we have bunker busting bombs. Presumably that would be enough to break my tunnels.

Yeah, but if you have tunnels you really ought to take like quintuple damage from flamethrowers and poison gas.

I could dig tunnels and appear behind your lines.

In all fairness, I'll be immune to air attacks for a short period of time (RL time would probably be about 1919-1940s), and there wasn't much one could do with air attacks then anyways.

Turn 1 Action: Research Agriculture (1 Sci available, research finished)
Turn 2 Action: Build Farm (1/1 MP)
Turn 3 Action: Research Mythos (1 Sci available, research finished)
Turn 4 Action: Research Animal Breeding (1 Sci available, 50% done)|1 farm + 1 pop = 2 food added, GROWTH 1 POP!
Turn 5 Action: Research Animal Breeding (Add 1 Sci, research finished)|1 farm + 1 pop = 2 food, GROWTH 1 POP!|Animal Breeding: Get Necrosk Specialty, Mammoths!


Turn 4 is problematic. Both research and farming takes place, while there is only one population, This would require 2 turns time.

Worry not, this can be fixed by simply adding an extra turn after turn 4. This means that turn 5 on this list was actually turn 6, turn 6 was turn 7

... So In The end, you are currently in turn 11.

But there is another problem:

Turn 9 Action: Research Bronze Working, done. Build Mine, -1 pop for manpower, done. Research Crude Weapons, done. Research Archery, 1 population dance around the Monolith, 1 science, research done. Research Alien Phonetics, 1 pop + Monolith = one science, research done. Research Pottery, 1 pop + Monolith = 1 science, research done. End turn due to no more population available.

MONOLITH - Structure - UNIQUE! Pernamently located at starting province. 1 Population may perform a rituals around the structure to gain 1 Science. Max 1 population, max once per turn! No faction may interact with more then 2 monoliths each turn.

IF we could put infinite people around monolith, game would end pretty fast. Choose 1 of the techs with 1 SCI cost and you should be fine


Oh shiete, I am on turn 11. HARK HAS BLESSED THE NECROSK WITH TIME TRAVEL. In all seriousness, yeah, I'll be editing.


If the RP goes way off-rails (Thermonuclear War, Plagues goes out of hand, G-tech takes over), I'll contemplate the idea of adding time-travel tech to the current echelon so that the first to build a time machine can send an agent back to the past and we can fix where we went wrong.

Depending on whether or not missile silos can fire if they get preemptively attacked, which Hark never ruled on, we could have held out.

You didn't even know what my missile defense system was. Someone else was building one, but mine was totally different.

Actually yes, I did. It was that one wonder with the Japanese sounding name :P The extent of the spying I did on your civilization was pretty hilarious in retrospect.

How does that work? I was still arguing with Hark over it if I remember correctly.

I forget, honestly. It has been a long time. I mentioned the sabotage to it in the final post of that RP though, precisely because disabling it was necessary for the mass-nuking.

I too would like to expand, but I'd need more happiness, philosophy, and after philosophy, I'd still need to wait through 2 turns of anarchy for switching political paradigms. All things considered, I may need to wait until turn 14-15 before I can get another province.

I've managed to get out an early explorer, but apparently colonizing water areas is a real ballache.
