I didn't want to do everything (tame the camels, defend against bandits, etc) all at the same time.

I took a second to slap together a draft of resource generation for your civ following the rules in the OP - you can find them in the google doc here, or in the spoiler below. Let me know if you have any questions!

Republic: +2 Authority
Palace: Free Tech Roll. +1 Wealth, +1 Industry, +2 Food, 2 Housing, +2 Authority, +1 Population Growth
- Garrison: 500 Defensive Soldiers, +1 Authority, May Train Citizen->Patrician Over 5 Years
- Treadwheel Crane: Each Active District Grants +1 Labor
- Simple Sewers: +2 Population Growth
Urban: +3 Housing
- Houses: +1 Housing
Urban: +3 Housing
- Houses: +1 Housing
Urban: +3 Housing
- Houses: +1 Housing
Agriculture: +3 Food.
- Intensive Agriculture: +1 Food
Agriculture: +3 Food.
- Intensive Agriculture: +1 Food
Mining: +1 Stone.
- Pit Mine: <Active Effect Only>
- Quarry: <Active Effect Only>
University: +1 Culture.
University: +1 Culture.
Theater: +1 Culture.
- Arena: +1 Starting Experience for Armies
Artisan: +1 Wealth.
Artisan: +1 Wealth.

Total before Active: 5 Authority, 3 Wealth, 1 Industry, 10 Food, 14 Housing, 3 Culture, 1 Stone

[-2 Authority] 2000 Patricians: +2 Authority
[-4 Authority] 4000 Citizens: +4 Wealth
[-1 Authority] 1000 Plebeians: +1 Labor
2000 Soldiers Defensive

2000 Patricians Operate 2 University Districts: +2 Culture, +2 Tech Rolls, +2 Plebeian Training Slots
1000 Citizens Operate Theater District: +2 Culture, +1 Wealth
- Arena: +1 Wealth, +1 Culture, -2 Discontent
2000 Citizens Operate 2 Artisan Districts: +4 Wealth, +2 Industry
1000 Citizens Promote to Patrician [1/5 Years]
1000 Plebeians Operate Agriculture District: +3 Food, +1 Timber, +1 Trade Value

Treadwheel Crane: +6 Labor (6 Active Districts)

Gross Income From Active: 7 Labor, 10 Wealth, 2 Industry, 3 Food, 5 Culture,1 Timber, 1 Trade Value

Net Income Before Expenses: 7 Labor, 13 Wealth, 3 Industry, 13 Food, 14 Housing, 8 Culture, 1 Stone, 1 Timber

Expenses:
12 Population Require 12 Food, 12 Housing (Needs Met!)
Constructing Apprentice Quarters: [4/4 Labor, 8/8 Wealth, 2/2 Industry] (Complete!)
Constructing Stone Wall: [3/10 Labor, 0/3 Wealth, 0/3 Industry, 0/7 Stone]

End: 5 Wealth, 1 Industry, 8 Culture, 1 Stone, 1 Timber

3 Tech Rolls Researching Refined Smithing

Old Culture: 0
New Culture: 8
Tier: 8/12 = 0.666, Tier 0



Now, that's confusing. Maybe G-tech could explain it better. I have another post coming up.

More or less I:
  • Made a new Religion (I don't think I had a religion)
  • Changed/updated ideology (I'm still a Republican State, but moreso based on Geniuses - which is what "Geniocracy" is)
  • Sent tribes and patricians to explore (I did some paraphrasing, but OG, I had said "famed people" or something onto those lines.)
  • Made a plan to stop Banditry (first, I had to start mining/making sure I had enough weapons/supplies for my armies)
    and a few other things more/less.

    IC-ly, Archelis the Gifted came across an issue over her own leadership. She'd felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, so she'd asked "the other" for advice. (along those lines) The Other had told her to get with the Philosophers, talk with them. If they [the philosophers] wanted to overthrow/coup her, she could order them to be killed in Glad. combat.

    More/less that's plot-by-plot/beat by beat. I just didn't do everything (fix banditry, build more Universities, and everything else G listed) and instead took some Artistic Creativity, deciding a few starting actions. The way I'd seen it, G listed alot of things and my stats/numbers.

Yeah that's probably best. Id recommend you figure out a good structure though once G explains it. Without organization most actions looks like alphabet soup

Yeahhhh that's pretty complex, the way Game does his accounting - it is all technically correct, but also devilishly complex.

I'd put together actions far more simply: sum passive income, calculate Authority, activate Populations, assign Districts, collect active income, spend active income.

So for the Sand Republic, for instance, it might be wise to activate some Citizens to collect Wealth, as you'll need Wealth to send out expeditions to scout the land around you to determine where you want to establish cities.

The main advantage of my approach is transparency - you know exactly where every unit of a given resource comes from. But aye, it’s complex :p

So how will population work in the next era?

I was thinking instead of cities we could shift focus to provinces maybe?

I’m sending somewhere between 2000 and 5000. I need to do actions to know for sure, but the new position at work has been kicking my ass.

Heh. As welcome as your assistance is, Honghai - I'm not sure anyone else in the campaign are even aware of your existence. Are you even close enough to actually send troops?

That aside - I suppose it would be a cool way to announce your presence on the national stage.

G-Tech? Your thoughts on this?

Wellllll I can’t confirm or deny what the Sand Republic knows, formally, but I can say it doesn’t know of Sorrowfree or her abomination-based problems at the moment.
