So if I went South of south, will it take two turns instead of one?

Nah. That’s not really far enough away to justify using more than a year.

Ok, so if I try to send Zuma to go and investigate the tribe location given by Lakmal, would that be one turn?

Truly RNGesus works in mysterious ways.

Marry them off to establish a claim on other tribes.

Well, you don’t know precisely how far northwest that was. But you could certainly try.

Maybe RNGesus simply needs the proper motivation. A show of good faith, if you will?

A sacrifice.

Tbf, RNGesus is partially based on atmospheric perturbations. And sacrificing to change the weather is an established trope.

Sure. You'll be able to use it for all sorts of observations about planting and harvest times.

Of course, you should probably actually make those observations.

@G Do you mind if I send you more specifics of the magic system I had in mind so that we can reconcile them with the current mechanics ahead of time?

Sure. I think I'm broadly familiar with what you intend, though it will probably have to be modestly modified, since iirc the Dao system wouldn't really be balanced.

Ah I thought it was passive.

Also this has me thinking will the wonders we build have some impact in the future iteration of this game?

I'm not going for the whole like living thousands of years and blowing up continents, if that's what you mean :p

That was what I meant. And things like healing without any cost to the individual because of drawing power from nature at unlimited potential :P

Yeah. Once I put together a telegram I'll get into specifics, but I was thinking something along the lines of repairing damage tapping into one's max life force/growth potential.

I was planning on using D&D style Pseudo-Vancian magic (i.e. Spells require a "slot"/certain amount of mana to cast and can be prepared ahead of time by the caster.) that sound fair?

So the following magic schools we have now are;
Song Magic
Holy/Light Magic
Star Magic
Eastern Dao Magic
Runecrafting/Enchanting Magic
Necromancy

am I missing something?

Sounds about right, let us pray that song magic doesn't get tainted by High School Musical music, however one can only hope for the best.

That's worse than anything necromancy can do to this world.

There we go, unlike my usual posts I put up night of update, I hope you don't mind my more belated and thought-out one.

There posted my archive post, now I can easily send that little nice post link to any newcomer, and advertise my nation in great detail rather than giving vague "join me because of 'reason A'."
