A Strange World: Civilization's Dawn [Revival] [OOC|Open]

[Theyra]

I have been meaning to ask, how does magic work in the rp?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Yeah, my people have been trying to develop smoking for meat preservation and midwifing so I don't have Xcotl 2: Infertility Boogaloo. Also are those rock-rabbits actual rabbits made of rock and can we start developing arcane technology from the start?

I assumed they were like rabbits but with a rock-hard sort of she'll over them. But it was G's own invention so I'll differ to him. As for arcane tech... It's questionable. You might try - but it will take a long time and many different techs to get to anything substantive

Rock rabbits are actually a RL creature - hyraxes

[Ralnis]

So did only two tribes learned anything last turn?

Sounds about right. Welcome to the cult Church of RNGsus, happy to have you.

Carefully? Typically there is a cost involved with most magic, though you are free to pursue any route of the arcane.

And here I thought we were going to have the normal version of the research like last time. So much for hoping.

It should be noted: that multiple scholars increase the likely hood of that thing being reaserched - AND completing steps in the process towards that tech may boost it. for instance- meeting another tribe may boost your writing tech, or exploring multiple tiles will boost your looks into basic astronomy.

Oh no I know how this works, just didn't know that I will be having Xcotl 2:RNG boogaloo in top of Infertile boogaloo.

Well at least you aren’t the only one not getting tech RNG.
Curses to @G, though, his luck is just too powerful!

Of course, it's G-Tech. We all know he will be getting the luck of the gods. I just rather not try to min-max my tribe in order to try and keep up with G-Tech. But that was my fault for assuming that we were getting the old system.

Added technologies into the IC thread: look for it beneath the tribes summary! (brought to you by Nux's skill in google docs)

Coolcool. We thinking today or tomorrow for the next update?

Depends. I noticed some of our members hadn't gotten their first post out even- so I was going to give them time. If it does happen though - only expect the update, not an updated summary sheet- Nux has more of a life than I

[Saxony-Brandenburg]

JESUS 11/13 players in less than 24 hours... well - I guess I'll start getting the tinder for the update Machine campfire. Just be aware the expected time has shifted for 1 post / 48 hours. Will update OP soon.

I thought you would get a bit overwhelmed

Also... ooooh boy. These were some bad roles for the year's weather. almost everyone either rolled 1/8 or 8/8. lol

[Elerian]

Does my tribe's hut house the entire tribe, or only some of them?

[Saxony-Brandenburg]

Well let's see... its a very poor quality hut: so probably not. And even those who do: it will not be very quality protection. Consider adding onto it!

Just to clarify - are Cedars actually a useful resource, since the generic resources include trees? I figured I could use one of the cedars for housing, but apparently that doesn't count.

Gotcha. Do I have to specify that my tribes people are trying for children, or will children be born on their own?

Ah- so cedars will count in 2 ways, methinks. Onesies, next era, or perhaps after, you will want specific trees whenever deforestation // need for higher quality lumber arises. Secondly, you can use one for housing, you will simply need to assign a worker to making a home from them, as I think you did this turn no?

There's a chance for... accidental pregnancies, although trying certainly raises the odds

Ah yes - even so. Last turn, though, I was thinking the Sea-Blessed could use an older partially hollow tree as an impromptu dwelling with no labor investment, as many creatures do. Right now they're just reinforcing the dwelling using the timbers collected, since the timbers weren't available initially.

Edit: Just to clarify, ancient cedars can grow to as much as 80 feet wide, thus why I thought it would make a good dwelling. Much larger, and tougher, than most any dwelling my Neolithic villagers would be capable of creating at this point. With a fire tended in front of the entrance to the partially-hollow still-living tree to keep away predators, it strikes me as a great dwelling.

I will... take that into account when I grade your housing situation. My mistake.
