A Different World: The Noble Cities [OOC|Open]

[Holy Tedalonia]

I mean, the Ancestor is fairly widely observed at this point. Not really a majority anywhere except Daru, with maybe some secondary influence at the Huanca city, but Her reach extends fairly far. She hasn't guided Daru wrong yet.

Well, her secondary influence has extended further, thanks to the Iron-Lords of Daru.

Admittedly, there's probably more than a little religious syncretism going on at Corvus right now - the Mother-Moon and the Ancestor are both female solo deities coming from a similar region, so there's definitely overlap in their worship.

Varrans like their spirits and ancestors. Perhaps one day they will get their gods, but not yet.

Jumping from spirits and ancestors to a goddess known as The Ancestor would be fairly easy. I don't think we've had contact though, so it'd have to travel through intermediaries.

Take your time - we'll understand. RL comes first.

Yeah mate - take your time. We're not going anywhere, after all, and I at least am drowning in deadlines all my own.

[Holy Tedalonia]

lmao i forgot to change my explorers orders

"there are great armored bodies with pale white hides which move in the deeps, small miniature suns of blue fire kindling upon their backs when they surface

Alright I'm properly mystified by these. Not a clue.

Hesukar too scared confirmed

I assume studying tech from another city-state succeeds in one turn if you have five Scholars on it?

Grand! Now, if one Scholar pop from another city-state were to help, say, four Scholar pops from your city; that would mean they're then good to go in one turn, right?

Indeed, just as your exchange with the Corvidians went.

Excellent. I didn't see it mentioned in the update, so I wanted to be certain.

I’m glad someone noticed my incredibly subtle reference!

I do apologize for the lack of posts and updates lads. Hopefully I'll be able to get back in the swing of things. Busy weekend, busy week to come, and my wife and I have been sucked into Valheim in our free time.. not a great combo for creativity.

Valheim happens. This is known.

Post coming soon, not that G's actions are up yet anyway.

Hey guys? What do ya'll think about the following new buildings?

Fighting Pit: Here raucous masses gather for sport and play: namely the spilling of blood for the amusement of baying crowds. By organizing regular contests of such bloody sport, sweat and much toil, the people are amused and great legends forged - for within the circle of the arena even the meanest might stand as the tallest king. (Requires the presence of at least 1 Slave population. Labour III, Wealth II, Industry I. +1 to Stability. Rural II)

Racing Ground: In this place, across long acres raked and flattened by many hands, great feats of skill and bravery are presented to the watching crowds. Be it the flying of kites, the racing of humble men, saddled beasts or even great chariots - all might watch, and marvel, and forget their toils for a while. (Requires the following techs: Animal Domestication, Riding. Labour IV, Wealth III, Industry III. +3 to Stability. -2 Wealth to maintain the edifice and equipment. Rural III)

Ball Court: From tiered seats hacked from the very stone, or raised high upon scaffolds of wood and packed dirt, all the people might watch the very game that most pleases the gods. For by the toss and twist of bodies dedicated to the soaring ball - legends are made, purpose found, and champions raised to nigh imperishable glory. (Requires the following techs: Mortar. Tanning. Labour V, Wealth II, Industry II. +2 to Stability. -1 Wealth to maintain the edifice. Urban II)

Thoughts and (constructive!) criticism is greatly appreciated!

I like all 3, but think that the mechanical values of the racing ground and ball court should be switched, there is a lot more maintenance to something like races and riding rather than a ball court.

Hm - alright.

EDIT: Done.

I lied about my post being up last night, but work is done now thankfully. Time for scheming.
