New Civilizations [OOC | Open]

How many tribesmen does Yaroshima have?

I’d guesstimate the tribe probably has a few dozen able-bodied men.

Is he attacking with just those men plus the tribe he allied with?

It depends how many warriors the chief will commit to reprisal for a raid, really.

I don't get it

how did the big blob in Europe grew so big and manage to become an empire in the 2900BCs?

It’s a loooonnnngggg story.

I can recommend some reading, if you’re interested

Erm, En, “please fix your post” doesn’t mean “just keep posting”

[The Orson Empire]

Ego and Franklin are hurrying out of it...

Next ten years we'll be basically medieval in some groups.

Will we be advanced enough to start building stone fortifications?

Within the time skip, about three or four years in cast iron will be widespread for large-scale projects like urbanization, stone buildings and fortifications, and dry docks will be able to be built.

^

Though, of course, raising stone fortifications with hand tools and a limited labor base will take time.

Whats up with those posts of monkey assimilation, god power and more

Good.

If Turner gets a province, I want to be able to build my own castle and extensive fortifications.

Also for some fluff, Jeb did mention history to the people of the village he fell into before it got transformed into Ego, one of things he did was the idea of the Mafia but of course people mistook as something else.

[Entronium]

How large is the minimum for acquiring a province? (Like how meny colonies would be required)

Yeahhh...

Considering there isn’t any set province size, it really quite depends.

That said, we need to talk about your posts. I TGed you, but here will do too.

1) You need to tone back your timescale. Your character shouldn’t rule over a tribe in your first post. Nor your second.

2) Modern humanity is very much in evidence in 3000 BCE, as is language.

3) I really need more detail in your posts. Saying a tribe is busy assimilating is so undetailed as to be below the standard I expect for this RP.

It's a what, 64ish year story?

Yeah. But that covers more than a year of RP detail, which is honestly more than I can summarize easily!

Yep, very true.
My story is a lot shorter. And led to a much smaller area than G's

To be fair, I’m quite glad you have become an active poster- you’ve been in this RP for ages in some form, so it’s nice to have you finally able to do some writing.

That's true. I just have some difficulty sometimes sitting down and concentrating on a post...

[Entronium]

As for question one, didnt the 'Greater South' do the same?

(The chief looked at him for a brief moment in shock. He may have accidentally put it in his tone that he might have wanted to become a chief. The chieftain simply laughed for a bit, then stopped and looked at his old, wrinkly self. He then sighed and paused for a moment before giving him his crown, which was mainly a cheetah-head skin with some feathers running up the back like a spine. Adewale was surprised at this gesture, but nonetheless entered the center of the village. Suddenly, all the tipis and kit was being stored up in primitive sacks and moved. He asked a tribeswoman where they were going.
"It is harsh weather on the next sundown. We need to go to the grander jungle to survive for more days. There are food and water there."

That's when it hit him; these people were a nomadic prehistoric East African variant of his Mende tribe. He may never even get back home, for this might have been an entirely different time.)
Or did you tell him the same as you told me?


As for question two. Were you talking about that the peoples advancement was too fast or that It wasn't enough

As for question three. I'll get right on it!

Aye, I feel that. It’s one of the reasons New Civilizations has lasted so long. Most folks here are perfectly happy to slack off and not post for a month then come back

1) Indeed he did! And, as you may note, he immediately got smacked with being deposed and forced into exile due to said post.

2) The people should be, well, people, yes. But their “advancement” in scientific terms is nothing like you have portrayed it. They’re modern humans, not ape-men, but they also don’t have a clue how to mine or smith in a meaningful fashion, and are part of kindred groups, not accepting of non-blood relative gatherings as political entities.

[Entronium]

Ok now it makes sense...

I'll redo my post sometime later in the day ( I have a heavy schedule today)

[Ulls]

I'm going to have my post up soon. As for post timeskip Ego, expect knight orders to be a thing for both Old and New Faith.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh, Inesea? It might be worth noting that the broad Peleponese will have heard of Jesus Christ in the context of Imperial traders and migrants. That might be good or bad for your personal conversions, depending.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Oh, Inesea? It might be worth noting that the broad Peleponese will have heard of Jesus Christ in the context of Imperial traders and migrants. That might be good or bad for your personal conversions, depending.

I'm actually considering how to treat that.

The region's religion basically works around the idea that every family/village/mountain/stream/etc has a god or goddess attached to it. Think like national religions, like the Dimi have X Y Z Gods and the Sesk have A B C gods. Both accept the other's gods exist, its just that they differ over whose are more powerful, etc. Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior as introduced by Joseph is being viewed as a powerful Medicine God from a land far away. Some view him as an ancestral god of Joseph's that came with him on his journey from his distant home. The general view is that Jesus Christ has joined the Dimi's Pantheon. The Jesus Christ spoken of by the Imperials is probably seen as a different God altogether and only Joseph or one of his close disciples who follows the 'true' faith would make the connection. To put it into perspective, perhaps a handful of people accept Christianity in any semblance that we would recognize. The rest merely incorporated Jesus into their preexisting pantheon. After all, Jesus is obviously a powerful god. Look at all the healing Joseph does.

Ah, yes, the hentotheistic pluralism approach. Certainly valid.

I’m just noting that folks at large, beyond the isolated village, may have predispositions and ideas of their own about Christ. Indeed, if you go to major cities or the north, he may already exist in the local pantheons as a god of knowledge or craft, and you’ll start encountering actual monotheistic Christians.
