A Strange World: The Strength of Empires [OOC | Closed]

[Novas Arcanum]

Well if we're lucky the update will be tomorrow if not next week XD.

[The GAmeTopians]

You can build Academies without Standarized Texts?

O_O well it wasn't listed on the quarter as a requirement so I didn't even know Standardized Texts existed. Goddammit G

Based on Olth's wording when she first gave the idea. Yes.

I just like setting a plan. Plans prevent time freezes.

All tech and whatnot is highly erratic on accuracy I'm afraid

[Holy Tedalonia]

So G is the boulder still hot? Is it even movable even with the heat?

Ayerp. You can certainly try and move it, if you feel so inclined.

Can I retroactively change my labor allocation then since I can't even make an academy?

Swoirtenly so.

Much obliged.

Welp, note that the Darkwalkers are going in to deal with exploring the wastes beyond the gate. Any bonuses for having professional scouts beside knowing how to avoid probably the most dangerous beasts in existence?

The Darkwalkers, oh yes. That'll be an interesting exploration.

I keep trying to make ten year plans then G utterly annihilates them.

I was referring to out of character planning, when to post and when to collab, and trying to stop really long turns. But yeah, ten year plans don't work in this RP. You gotta be ready for shit hitting the fan every year.

I tend to stick to two-year intervals. They're doable. Mostly.

By the way @G-Tech how much to transform a single human pop to elves?

[G-Tech Corporation]

By the way @G-Tech how much to transform a single human pop to elves?

Hmm. Well, ICly, it took years of work and thousands of scholars to transform a thousand people, equivalent to a single human pop. I'd price you at 15 Solar Energy and 6 Years of Enchantment, or thereabouts. I'll give it a thunk.

[Ralnis]

While the elves have to take years to convert one pop to an elf, vampires just have to bite another person and then they have one of their own. Which is surprisingly that the vampires would have an explosive growth but then again they are the equivalent of a parasitic virus.

The real concern would be managing all of these vamps. Given that your in the Underworld, a place of crime and murder. You'll likely being killing each other to suppress overpopulation or simply to climb the ladder of power. A life of crime is a deadly sort of lifestyle.

I'm sure there'll be internal pressures that'll prevent an explosive growth in population.

Truth, hence why I have the advantage of having near-total control over my growth rate and could use that with the internal pressures to keep critical mass from happening.

No doubt and I plan on building covens across the world or regions to keep such density in check. Plus other things can keep us from exploding too rapidly beyond my near-total control. So once the original coven has enough people, hopefully this turn, then I can start moving up the ladder of power.

Sorry to say I’ll still be busy today - Ted, if you want to run an update, knock yourself out.

[Breathless]

An organization, maybe! Can I be a nascent religion?

Sure, I can work with that. Any ideas about how you would like to be integrated into the current city-state system?

Weeeeell, let's say my intrepid followers approached a city-state. I'd hire them out as labor in return for wealth, and perhaps use that wealth to fund the construction of a Temple District or Quarter - which in turn could provide certain benefits for the city in which it operated. Like, say, increased growth, arcane research or protection from disease?

I'll do the update if Ted can't I really want to make up for Divinity.

[Aidannadia]

Put a bit of fluff up in the mean time, and fixed that whole Academy issue.
