Is it the Bows? or the Simple machines?
or both?

<Snipped quote by orangebox>

Then we have the problem of who would be playing them, a GM or whoever discovers the old territory first? How would they know how they would behave, etc.

I suppose it can be played out like it was a wild animal for the Yelbs with their character sheet as a reference - sort of like an 'animal-pedia'? But since there isn't a character sheet for the Katyushas...

Is it the Bows? or the Simple machines?
or both?

Uhm, from the looks of things - probably everything. Imagine everyone's starting off sometime during the tribal-age, where animal husbandry isn't a -thing- yet, nor agriculture. Heck most of us haven't even went into bronze age yet lol. Considering the speed of advancements of your race to have had pulleys and compound bows - they'd have spaceships in the next 100 years XD

Okey Dokey! Changing it!

I concur with the above statement.

Since the Katyushas never met anyone, we can simply pretend they never existed. Simplest way to go about it. There were only 12 Yelb if I remember correctly, so they could have been killed by a pack of wild animals or anything like that.

How's this, @orangebox

@MangoJuice Looks great! I'll pop that into my CS :D

Aaaaaand Cs has been changed. Omitted simple machines and composite bows all together. Also added something about arrow heads. Hope it checks out!

That's better. You can go get 'em for now, just keep modesty in mind. And if you're ever wondering where you should go as far as tech goes, the Civilization V tech tree is a good place to start.

@MangoJuice Uhm, is it me or the link you posted gives me a super small image instead? D:

Also, it would be nice if you can tell me of your intentions regarding the 2 dying characters I've placed at your doorstep XD

Because if you want ignore them, I'll continue on with the story in a different manner ;D

Name of Race: Etastrawori [ES-TAS-TRAW-WOR-EE]

Pic/Description (either one, but both is preferred): The Etastraworis are small creatures. Usually having sizes of 3-4 feet. They are hairy, and have a hunched back only slightly to have their head just a bit more near to the ground. They have straws which are used to slurp up food.
 Racial Characteristics: Due to there small sizes, they're fast runners, and are warm blooded animals and can stand cold to humid tempatures, from around 20 degrees faranheight to 110 degrees faranheight. Their straws are  made of special material which acts much like the eat and poop process. It lets nutirous food pass to be observed and used, as the bad parts of whatever was being slurped up stick to it. Once enough of the un-nutrious food builds up in the straw, it sticks together and "poops" it out of its straw. Their teeth grows back every 5-8 years once it falls off.  They're scavengers which means they eat already dead food which is rampant in the mountains where creatures have died off due to cold tempatues.

 Race Bio (personality, etc.)
An Etastraworis life will be spent through many enviorments. They migrate through their three different occupied land, and enjoy a mix of weather. Most Estastraworis are skilled at discipline and self-control. They are very patient. Male and females can lead tribes, as gender does not define their place on the social structure but their straws do instead. The ones with the more longer straws as  more deemed fit to lead. The ones with short straws are still considered apart of the tribe but less deemed fit to go hunting. 

They are apart of a large village permantely located in the tundra. They learn skills that will help them when they are grown and from there they will be put into packs where every year they will spend 10/12 human months (time hasn't been discovered yet) migrating place to place

Location on Map: Near north wear the desert ends, it occupies a bit of the montains, half of its area is the tundra and the other half is of the forest in a small, triangle
Techs (specifically those not already given): clothing,  basic knowledge of building temporary homes

Click on it.

Also, I have a lot to get to in my next IC post, so don't be suprised if I don't get to it right away. I will, tho.

Looks nifty. You can begin. I can't help but think that this VVV isn't quite where you wanted the territory, since orangebox took that spot earlier. Let me know what you think, though.



BTW I fudged up the biome map earlier so here's that fixed.

Still alive, just lettin' you guys know. Sorry for not posting in a while.

Hey @Shoggothought, you sure are developing a lot of tech for the amount of content you're putting out.

There hasn't been any response from the guy so far, so I'll just move on and remake the post. I'll pretty much just act like I was talking about The Society and work from there. That way, I can actually start posting again. Again, sorry about the situation.

Working on a post as we speak, and maps are going on the OP.

And it's done!

You may remember that in my original post I said there were three nomadic groups that departed from where the star fell. Well, we're about to see the final one show up, and it's not going to be pretty.

Don't mind me, just testing something.



Seems like the forum has a 893px maximum image width. Anything above that gets resized. The more you know!

@MangoJuice Location looks good.

Hey @Shoggothought, you sure are developing a lot of tech for the amount of content you're putting out.

Yeah, I know. I will change up my tech slightly and fix it. Sorry about that.
