Ascent of Mankind - Civilization RP - OOC/Signups

[The Knights of Azorea]

Well, in the aftermath of a raid by eldritch horrors, the Tharak have developed their philosophy.

I'm thinking something Military, based on the rule of the Heroes. Maybe have one population designated as Ariarchs that can be mobilized and when they are there are certain military benefits. Maybe something is gained for every victory they have? I'm trying to think of a way to incorporate the idea of a Senate of Ariarchs into it, along with the two ideas the Tharak draw on (Roman Republican Virtue and Homeric Greek Glory)

Also, why is the Tharaki homeland province/local area surrounded by a black circle?

Alternatively, by the by, my civilization can grant major bonuses to races that willingly provide members to be sacrificed to or worship in the temples of the Dark Gods. Yknow, if you're interested

What do you get for sacrificing people?

Blasphemous Secrets, which are the lifeblood of my expansion and can be used to give bonuses to allies.

Hey guys? The IC opening page says we should sync at turn 14, so please do that. Even if you last posted for turn 13, please sync up.

I am waiting on feedback for my Currency discovery, so I am delayed unfortunately.

INTELLIGENT LIFE # 19

Species Name: Homo Castorian

Species Appearance:

(Image)

Species Biology: There are 2 genders, male and female. They are omnivores, eating fish, as well as leaves, branches, bark, water lilies, and more. They have long front teeth that are used to bite down trees. They have a thick and well oiled fur and a layer of blubber that keeps them warm in the winter, and can swim comfortably in water up to -50 degrees celsius, but it gives them a more pudgy appearance. Since the monolith they have sprouted into a more upright posture, drastically extended their average lifespan, and maintained there distinct large flat tail and webbed feet, though this has sometimes been a hinderance it aides with long range warnings and construction. They have reasonably large efficient brains, excellent hearing, smell, and touch, with a mildly poorer sense of sight compared to other species.

Species Climate: Treeland - The space next to the grey fill with 5f and 2m (Where the bright green outline is)

Species History: Evolving from Giant Beavers, the Casorians were good at construction and logistics naturally. It was how they got food. They constructed dams that water would fill. Ecosystems would occupy it, including fish, frogs, insects, and algae among other creatures, and the Castorians could move wood easier through it. When the Monolith arrived there brain grew and became more efficient, and they began to spread out from their traditional stomping grounds and into the modern day. Today there appearance represents there mentality, a mix between the past and the future.

What do you think?

What do you think?

Looks good to me. I don't have the authority to approve it, but Harkback should accept it.

Swimming in below -50 C water?
Interesting...
Otherwise, Welcome to the RP! Please choose starting spot on interactive map not adjacent to other factions and feel free to post IC from turns 1-14!

[Harkback Union]

No, as long as your species is humanoid, it's good enough.

Thanks. In the same token, are species similar to the Vulcans and Asari allowed?

Of course!

[Harkback Union]

I might be missing nuance, but that just sounds like feudalism + a fort for which the prerequisite is feudalism.

...I have now realized that feudalism is actually a technology.

I think Its best if I come up with paradigms in advance, so that I waste less time arguing and more time balancing.

Thank you . The areas I hoped for are adjacent to other players (green outline). I will choose others.

Although, if you ask for their permission and they say yes, you can settle adjacent. The roeselt for one don't mind neighbors.

[Cainesland]

What kind of F M and S combinations might the islands have?

[The Grim Reaper]

Well then, turn 14.

Time to discover the New World! What uncultured savages will the Helveti make first contact with? Stay tuned!

Spoiler alert: It'll probably be Roeselt.

That particular area is, however, my only real option for expansion >_> I mean there are a couple of other options, but they're sort of far away, and one of them would block all three of us in with Eien <_<

[Harkback Union]

What kind of F M and S combinations might the islands have?

At least 5 F,
At least 2 M for being starting area.

S is only for remote deserts.

[Novas Arcanum]

Okay so heres my government

Great House System-I would say this is a feudal system,but in a feudal system someone usually pledges fealty to a king but there are no kings
the Houses each rule their own section of land,and thus are loosely united,there is a Council that is made up of the Highlords of each House.

So these are the three main Great Houses,I would only be able to use one of the houses' bonuses

House Sadras- The House of scholars this ancient family is dedicated to research and pursuit of knowledge,their chief deity is Azara goddess of mysteries and knowledge ,+1 Science each turn

House Avalis- A House of skilled warriors,and dedicated military leaders many of their sons and daughters trained in the Justicar Order,their chief deity is Lord Dagoth god of honor,and righteous battle ,provides +3 guard

House Narndus - This House is the house of artists, and cultural scholars,many painters,poets, and songwriters make up the ranks of this House,their main deity is Eos god patron of the arts,+1 culture each turn

I'm not sure on the costs of the houses bonuses so I'll let Harkback decide on that

Sounds like a lesser version of Soviet's paradigm.

[G-Tech Corporation]

So what are people thinking for Architectural Paradigms? I'm think something good but not OP.

[Novas Arcanum]

Hmm maybe a Council Hall which cost 2 minerals that provides +1 Authority and +1 Culture ,and a passive bonus of +2 Fertility?,I'm not too good at this mechanic thing

[Cainesland]

At least 5 F,

Thank you. I have moved the green outline to the central southern treeland island.

[ApplePieistan]

Looking at everyone's governments, I realized I was severely unambitious with my political paradigm. Having authority equal to my Court's happiness is far less than all the cool stuff everyone else has.

Haha I think that's a bit OP.

[Cainesland]

Do you need enough food available to create a new pop?
