So at what age can tribals take on roles?

Nice! Safe to say the Divine Presence hasn't seen fit to command Maelon to adopt child labor laws...

[G-Tech Corporation]

@G did you see the magic system link I sent you the other day?

Yep, yep, I'll keep it in mind.

Would a child scout deal with any penalties when exploring?

Like, a six year old, or someone who has hit ten and an actual role? The former almost certainly is doomed. The latter, no trouble at all.

[Holy Tedalonia]

Hmm, could I have some details on wading birds, stalkers, and galena? I don't recall what they were exactly when my scout explored... may be useful to know.

[The GAmeTopians]

@G The East of East region (the ice iron one) is missing from my stat block.

[Holy Tedalonia]

Nuxipal didn't add this to the sheet, but he did send me in the occ when I realized that it there was nothing said on the update post. It was this:

Southwest [plains (river): wheat, fox, cattle]

I think he never got around to adding it.

[The Federation of Kendor]

Since my question wasn't answered

Is it possible to send just a single warrior to hunt predators, because I need my other warrior and leader to stay, and I'm worried that I will get negative RNG that result in my warrior being killed

[Holy Tedalonia]

Since my question wasn't answered

Is it possible to send just a single warrior to hunt predators, because I need my other warrior and leader to stay, and I'm worried that I will get negative RNG that result in my warrior being killed

I mean, RNG can always factor in multiple things. Certainly there will be more liability to being injured or killed, but how big of a difference it makes depends on how dangerous the beast is.

Don't make one dude fight a dragon pretty much is my advice, but if its a lion, perhaps it'd be more likely injured if our chap is a seasoned hunter who knows what hes doing. That being said fighting a lion is pretty bleak hopes though. If said person is injured it pretty much means that depending on the time of his injury ultimately decides how much food, and gives him a debuff. So run a risk vs reward in your head, and determine it yourself.

[Terminus Pheonix]

@G
My scout explored southeast, I don't think you put up what he found.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hmm, could I have some details on wading birds, stalkers, and galena? I don't recall what they were exactly when my scout explored... may be useful to know.

Wading birds, if memory serves, are just, yknow, wading birds. Like storks, plovers? Stalkers are in the post where they were introduced, but I can't remember offhand. You can look it up as easily as me. Galena is a real thing- an ore of lead and silver.

Since my question wasn't answered

Is it possible to send just a single warrior to hunt predators, because I need my other warrior and leader to stay, and I'm worried that I will get negative RNG that result in my warrior being killed

Sending anyone to hunt predators or dangerous herbivores is always dangerous. More people can be less dangerous, as can good weapons, familiarity with the creatures being hunted, and so on.

@Ted, Game: I'll get those regions added soonish.

@G
My scout explored southeast, I don't think you put up what he found.

Erm, I haven't actually resolved this year yet

[Kelmet]

I hope the generator is kind to me this year, by the light........

[Novas Arcanum]

Did I really just develop a writing system in one turn!? *Gasps* And a baby without any issues!?!? I think I'm going to faint...

[Kelmet]

:blink: Did I really just develop a writing system in one turn!? *Gasps* And a baby without any issues!?!? I think I'm going to faint...

Took me 5 years.....

[Novas Arcanum]

RNG must have granted divine favor for me.

[Ralnis]

So did I make a crappy bronze pickaxe?

[The GAmeTopians]

@G, Zhou Xing is male...
(And I think Dao of Resilience would merit a reroll for the actual female...)

[Ralnis]

Also, what's going on with my shrine? I didn't get that so far?

[Holy Tedalonia]

So should I do the sheep sacrifice again, or am I missing a crucial part to this magic? Basically should I gamble on RNG getting it right, or experiment? I ask because I'm not sure how crucial of a role rng plays in magic.

[Novas Arcanum]

Would sharpened flint tools be advanced enough to work marble?

[Holy Tedalonia]

Now since I explored a bit, I guess I could make a makeshift map.

*makes a grid map with lettering and numbers for coordinates*

*makes google spreadsheet to organize details*

A simple makeshift map

[G-Tech Corporation]

:blink: Did I really just develop a writing system in one turn!? *Gasps* And a baby without any issues!?!? I think I'm going to faint...

I wouldn't exactly call hieroglyphics a writing system, personally. But hey, the odds are good of a child being born healthy.

So did I make a crappy bronze pickaxe?

Ayerp. You have the right materials, but your people haven't really made anything out of metals to any great extent, so it would best be described as "crude".

@G, Zhou Xing is male...
(And I think Dao of Resilience would merit a reroll for the actual female...)

Ah, my bad. I'm not familiar with the gendering of non-Western names extensively.

The mother dying is already a critical failure. Can you think of a way turning one's skin as hard as a tree's bark will prevent death in childbirth? I'll consider rerolling if you can think of a good explanation.

Also, what's going on with my shrine? I didn't get that so far?

Something spoopy.

So should I do the sheep sacrifice again, or am I missing a crucial part to this magic? Basically should I gamble on RNG getting it right, or experiment? I ask because I'm not sure how crucial of a role rng plays in magic.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with trying again.

Would sharpened flint tools be advanced enough to work marble?

Sharp usually =/= tough and therefore better for working with hard material. But I've already been generous with Saxony on that, so sure.

[The GAmeTopians]

@G, Zhou Xing is male...

Well you specifically mention that the hearts of the trees around her are open to her, and trees in a tundra are particularly resilient not just in their bark but all throughout, to deal with the low temperatures and extremely short growing season. I could also see this resiliency granting her at least a slightly bolstered rate of recovery, considering the name being "Resiliency" (The dictionary definition is "the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties" )

[Ralnis]

So are my workers sick, weakened and got to take a turn away form soul-sucking shrine, or what?

[Novas Arcanum]

:blink: Did I really just develop a writing system in one turn!? *Gasps* And a baby without any issues!?!? I think I'm going to faint...

I wouldn't exactly call hieroglyphics a writing system, personally. But hey, the odds are good of a child being born healthy.

Meh, I'm going off of Wikipedia so don't hang me . Besides a hieroglyphic system will make a nice foundation for a Latin-based alphabet.

Also considering my luck I'm still surprised and happy that nobody died.

Yes, yes, but we're not talking about "blood replaced with sap, hair as leaves" being the tree. I mentioned skin like bark specifically so the Dao had an easily comprehensible and concrete effect, instead of being generalized.
