[Ralnis]

So what is this black rock that is able to calm people?

[G-Tech Corporation]

@G in year 10 did my scout spot any boulders of ice iron that might be carried or was it all in veins in the ground?

Certainly no boulders predominantly of ice-iron. You could probably find odd pebbles and stuff though.

So what is this black rock that is able to calm people?

Blackstone, of course.

[Ralnis]

Could this be used on animals and with magic?

Could this be used on animals and with magic?

Those are certainly possibilities that exist!

[Skarten]

So, i'm going to try to make a post now that i know my resources and starting location. If i'm correct, 1 post = 1 year right?

Also, if so, then due to my specialization at what rate would i be able to win followers?

[Novas Arcanum]

So since the Cadmians are building this *Totally, not Stonehenge* structure wouldn't they gain some type of knowledge like construction or something of that nature?

Technically you can make as many as you want for one year, but most people only do one.

As for the rate, accelerated compared to a normal character, which is accelerated compared to a tribe.

So since the Cadmians are building this *Totally, not Stonehenge* structure wouldn't they gain some type of knowledge like construction or something of that nature?

Nah. That expertise is so vague at this point and uncomplicated that I’m not really bothering. Just don’t start building any underground dwellings or domes.

[Novas Arcanum]

[Skarten]

Anyhow, i'll try to get up a post when i can.
I plan that on the first year ,Phílippos will get a wooden chariot and begin to go wandering around.

Where is he getting a chariot from?
Or a horse for that matter?

[Kelmet]

So G, did I just find out I'm on an island?

[The Grim Reaper]

Oh, for the record, I TG'd Nux my app - for Lyov, age 18, scholar, Hvasskyn.

Excellent, I'll add you to the roster. There isn't a super formal process for characters, so you can just start posting. Did I send you the TG about specializations yet? Hmu if you want to collab an intro or something of the like.

No, you haven't TG'd me about specializations yet - when I get that through I'll respond with some questions re: an intro post that you can answer OOCly or with some IC comments, or if you have a collab process you like that works for me too.

[Theyra]

G-Tech, was is the result for my scout exploring the south?

I choose my special resource to be horses. You know, the good ones that originated in the indo-european steppe and all, not the ones that only work as meat.

And about the chariot, i'll build it. After all, horses aren't good enough yet to just be used solely to carry, principally because they can't hold too much weight. You'd be able to use them, but only if you were carrying pretty much nothing. This was the reason chariots were used before horses alone, and the reason they were so valuable in the bronze age.

I mean... that will take a considerable amount of time to learn how to build a chariot.

The horses don't come pre-tamed, my dude.

Things you need to invent before you can build a chariot:
An axe to chop down trees
Another tool to work with the wood
The Wheel

[G-Tech Corporation]

So G, did I just find out I'm on an island?

Nope!

Or, you shouldn't think that, based on your exploration results.

G-Tech, was is the result for my scout exploring the south?

Huh, yknow, I totally wrote that up but have no idea where it went. I'll add it shortly.

Tbf, there are ways to fell a tree without an axe. Also, if you think about it, a chariot really can be built with only an awl and lots of sweat!

Fair enough.
The taming of the horse is really the greater endeavor, especially for a single person.

Well good luck to you, and may RNGsus smile upon you
