A Strange World :: Civilization's Dawn (OOC/Signup)

[Ralnis]

Which is why I have different foodstuffs and blackstones which I will try to lure animals to my lands for easy hunting and trapping.

This bring up a question I'd like to ask the OP board about - to my knowledge the prevailing theory of dog domestication is that they were wolves brave enough to scavenge from human encampments but not fierce enough to attack humans. How would we replicate that with the lightning dogs or giant wolves, for example?

Well that's why I have provided defenses like palisades and are trying to figure out how to use Blackstones as a defense mechanism against hostile wildlife.

[Kelmet]

Please light, don't let me down this year......

[The Federation of Kendor]

Just asking, but that I now manage to kill a whole pack of wolves, is it possible to also harvest their sinew as an action, and to make a bow string with it?

Right now I doubt your tribes are hunting enough meat for there to be scraps large enough to feed Giant Wolves- but sure, feel free to give that a try.

Just asking, but that I now manage to kill a whole pack of wolves, is it possible to also harvest their sinew as an action, and to make a bow string with it?

Certainly. I’d recommend hunting new animals though, and specifically harvesting. Sinew, untreated, rots rather rapidly.

[Holy Tedalonia]

Do I have to research math/numbers? Also I still want to know they'd extent of runes, assuming I want to use them for making magical armor, I very well can't let it crumble into oblivion.

I feel bad for reposting, but I have unanswered questions. Sorry.

Certainly. I’d recommend hunting new animals though, and specifically harvesting. Sinew, untreated, rots rather rapidly.

I mean, something like harvesting other things from the wolves I hunted last year at that time, not just their pelts and meat

This sounds dangerously like something that could be determined through field testing

Categorically I try to avoid ex post facto actions. Like I made Saxony go kill more llamas to steal their stomachs for brewing.

Oh, Ted? As for maths, you can assume your tribe only has the most rudimentary concept of counting. Anything else is pretty far out.

So, will the update be tomorrow? I haven't posted yet, and I can't today, so I will post tomorrow with just actions

So, will the update be tomorrow? I haven't posted yet, and I can't today, so I will post tomorrow with just actions

Likely so- update tends to come a day or so after I finish updating statblocks, assuming enough people have posted.

[Holy Tedalonia]

*draws rune on earth*

*earth glows and crumbles*

Maybe you need a... Human, sacrifice?

Whatever the case, I'm having Eshin carve the rune of illumination in the northwest, to see the effects, I considered that's far away enough, and would not cause great devastation.

We could end the world in a massive green glow, or we could simply starve the land of nutrients. Whatever the case, it'll be crazy to see glowing ground.

Maybe we can throw a global party before we all died in some green glow.

@Game: Just in case it wasn't clear from the actions of others, trying to develop arcane knowledge is very difficult when doing other things. So having your entire tribe contemplate the Great Dao while all having jobs/being children is fine, but I wouldn't expect success any time soon. Generally dividing a character's attentions is significantly less useful than concentrating them.

Of course, just trying to get the Dead to help me make magical writing for making more large-scale necromancy and other magic that I'm thinking of.

[Holy Tedalonia]

Thanks G,with this information. It will certainly help with applying math to runes, if I find a way somehow.

[Kelmet]

Hopefully my first try at agriculture works out well.

And the furnace thing works,

And I don't die......

I figured, but I really need to figure out combustion. Once I do I'll dedicate some time to the Dao.

Okay, just clarifying. I try to make how I determine things secret, but not obtuse.

[Ralnis]

Here's hoping that I make actual magical writing.

Magical Coding?

Honestly considering how OP magical writing might become it is likely going to either be impossible, simplified via runes, or some other form.

Be able to write how the spell would work has the potential to yield unparalleled power.
