Long , long ago the Gods made everything there is and ever was. Each good agreed to make a world in which all their creations would live and so they did. After many , many attempts the Gods noticed that their creations would finally destroy themselves or each other. So they decided to make a new world. Smaller this time and have their races grow from mere neanderthals to real creatures that are ready to determine their own fate.

---

This will be a God Based x Civilization Builder x Turn Based Roleplay.
Each player will have to make their own God , Race ( anything works but they need to have a physical form and to be humanoid. No spirit races and no Bee races or things like that in other words. I'll enumerate a number of possible races soon but it will not be limited to them but just so you can get an idea. ) and as the RP progresses civilization.

Turn Based Feature = Every Player will have each turn 2 Building Points ( 2 BP ) and at every second turn ( 2 , 4 , 6 etc ) an Evolution Point ( EP ) and every turn you will also gain a Divine Intervention Point ( DIP ) and Food Points ( FP ).
BP's are used to building structures for the race that the Player created. Buildings must fit with the race ( if you have an Vampire Race , you cannot have a Church Of Light or The Town Hall of Eternal Light built from things like glass that allow light to enter them ). Every building will have to fit the Evolutionary Tier of the Race.
EP's are used to evolve your race's Evolutionary Tier. If you don't wish to spend your EP to raise the Evolutionary Tier other upgrades can be chosen ( like evolving magic ).

DIP's are used to influence the civilization. A DIP can be used to grant favors to your race. Example : One can use a DIP to stop a plague that falls over the lands. Which will kill your subjects or when the two players get to Evolutionary Tier 4 they will be able to attack each other so if the a player is fighting another and he has a DIP and the other player doesn't , he can use it to influence the battle into his favor , 'thus winning it if he is not completely outmatched.

FP's are used to sustain your civilization. If there is no food gathering building built , no food is gained and will decrease by 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 points depending on the Evolutionary Tier.
If you have no FP then population will start to starve , loosing 10 , 100 , 500 , 1000 , 2500 every turn. If population = 0 then your race is extinct. FP's can also be lost / gained by special events that I'll do , every now and then.

Also. Every Civilization will start small. Only 4 members each race at start and 1 FP. Every passed turn will increase the number of members of the civilization by a number that I'll write it when I explain the Evolutionary Tiers.

---

Evolutionary Tiers :

EvoTier 1 Features - Basic Start of a civilization. This is basically the neanderthal age. 3 Buildings , Maximum population 20. Population will grow by 2 each turn. -1 FP every turn
EvoTier 2 Features - New buildings unlocked + adds the ability to build a village ( making the Pop cap bigger ) 7 Buildings , Maximum population 60 and with two villages 120. Population will grow by 10 each turn. -3 FP every turn
EvoTier 3 Features - New buildings unlocked + adds the ability to combine to villages and make a city + adds the ability to form alliances / trade routes with other races. 10 Buildings , Maximum Population 1000. Population will grow by 100 each turn.-5 FP every turn
EvoTier 4 Features - New buildings unlocked + ability to declare war to other civilizations ( 'thus conquering other lands and increasing population by 200 ). + gains the ability to call the favor of a God in battle. 13 Buildings. Maximum Population 5000. Population will grow by 500 each turn.-7 FP every turn
EvoTier 5 Features - New buildings unlocked + the ability to make a metropolis. 16 Buildings. Maximum Population 15000. Population will grow by 1000 each turn. -9 FP every turn

After a player has reached EvoTier 5 all his EP points can either be used to futher enhance his race or they can be traded to gain another BP / DIP.
After all players reached EvoTier 5 a new race will appear ( not yet known who will control it ) and will try to destroy all races. So you can either band together and defeat this last opponent or let it kill the others and then you kill it yourself.

NOTE : Player Races can become extinct. If a player looses all his population , he , if he wants to continue playing can make a new race ( different than the other one and will receive an advantage )

---

Buildings :

:

Each race will have their own unique buildings ( which the player will name and describe as he wants to ) but I will write the main buildings all civilizations must have.

EvoTier 1 : A Tribe house ( where villagers will live in and produce babies ( can be also changed to a Hatchery for races that have Eggs )
A Tribe Main Building ( where the leader of the tribe will live in )
A Resource Building ( a place that will increase FP ) ( 3 MAX )
EvoTier 2 : All of the previous buildings
+
A Barracks
A Blacksmith or something like one
A Guard Tower ( to protect against wild creatures )
A New Village ( maximum 1 new village )
EvoTier 3 : All of the previous buildings
+
A Trade Center ( also acts as an embassy )
A City ( combines two villages )
An Upgraded form of the resource building ( 2 MAX )

Rules :

Every race can die if it is destroyed in battle but don't make your sole purpose to kill other players. They can band together and destroy you.
No god-modding.
The rest are the normal site rules.
If you don't think that a player respected a rule / a game mechanic please tell me so.

---

The world that the Gods created is small. All races will interact with each other sooner or later.
The geography of the world is solely made by the player and his own race.

More upgrades and such will be introduced as players are interested in the RP.
More features too.

Hrmm looks a bit constrained, Any option for magitech? for stuff like golems? What is the difference between Technology and magic in this RP. Would alchemy be tech or magic? also any particular reason we are limited to 2 legs?

@Lucidnonsense Golems go to the Magic Category. They are after all , rocks ( metals etc ) that are animated by magic.

Magic will allow the civilization that will use it to make bigger / better magical attacks and units. Meaning that you will be able to make creatures that only magic can produce ( sub-races too ) and when war comes , to attack their enemies via magical portals and such.

Technology on the other side will allow the civilization to make bigger / better mech constructs. Meaning that you will be able to make robots / cyborgs and such and when war comes , to attack their enemies using machines ( ground mechs and air mechs ).

When two civilizations will ally ( one with magic , one with technological upgrades ) I will then introduce the " Combined Tech Upgrades ". Meaning that new units / buildings will be allowed to be created. + when the real war comes ( after everyone achieves EvoTier 5 ) , the civilizations that will ally will have an advantage against the invaders.

Alchemy is considered to be more tech than magic so it will be in tech category but if two races ally , new powers will be unlocked because of it.

The limitations to 2 legs was put there just because I want this to be a little realistic. A race that is let's say...a dog or a cow , even if they are intelligent cannot build stuff ( no hands ). But I will remove it and add a pointer saying that a race must have at least two arms.

PS : What do you mean by constrained ?

Sure, I'll bite!





Would something like that be acceptable, or is more information required?

Sure, I'll bite!

God / Wold [+]

Title: The Red God, God of War, Bane of Peace

Appearance: Wold takes many manifestations, but is usually depicted as some kind of large animal like a boar, wolf or bull.

Domain: (not sure what this is, will wait for elaboration)

Alignment: Neutral

Personality: Conflict and violence are the trademarks of Wold. It's not conquest or victory that is important, but the struggle itself. You can't win in the name of Wold, but you can fight. As long as you continue to struggle and war with others you will have Wolds favour. The one thing Wold detests is peace and tranquility.

Symbol: Any symbol of violence is a symbol of Wold. Crossed swords, heads on spikes or a clenched fist are typical examples.

Method of Worship: The prime method of worshipping Wold is to do war in its name. Dedicating duels or other kinds of violent conflicts to the god are also acceptable. Temples to Wold include fighting pits, battlefields and gladitorial arenas.

Race he made: Orcs

Race / Orcs [+]

Race Name: Orc

What Race is it: Orc

Pictures [+]

Strengths: Orcs are built for violence. They're strong, tough and stubborn.

Weaknesses: As orcs are built for violence, they have close to no skill or interest in diplomacy. Needless to say, they don't get along well with other races.

Economy/Industry: Orcs are simple beings and use simple resources. Wood, iron and stone are common materials in building and crafting. Being carnivores, they either hunt for animals or domesticate them in search of flesh, leather, bone and other animal products.

Buildings: Mainly simple constructions centered around caves and underground dwellings. Orc buildings are ugly and uncomfortable, but tough and practical.

Method of making more of their kind: Orcs are mammals.

Would something like that be acceptable, or is more information required?

Domain = where does your God "live". Where does he stride. Example : Poseidon's ( God of the Seas in Greek mythology ) domain is the sea ( or water it self ).

Symbol = you have to put a picture / describe the actual symbol that the God will use.

Buildings = I was thinking at actually describing each building ( by words or by picture ) in particular :)

Example :
A Resource Building : Hunting Lodge
Humans build hunting lodges near forests. The building is built of wood and mostly looks like a small house.

Something like that. I , myself , don't have inspiration at this point for big texts. But a few words each building is enough. The thing is made just so that every player can imagine your building.
You don't have to write each building's description but instead as you build them. So if you built a Tribe house for the first time , describe it after that each time you'll build a tribe house you will not have to describe it again.

I am not expecting big descriptions with 3 paragraphs worth of text. I don't want it because it's not that important. If you can write a description that people can use to imagine the building in 5 words. Do it :)

If I didn't explain something. Ask ^_^

Unrelated to @Duck's comment.

Added Food Points.

@Lucidnonsense Golems go to the Magic Category. They are after all , rocks ( metals etc ) that are animated by magic.

Magic will allow the civilization that will use it to make bigger / better magical attacks and units. Meaning that you will be able to make creatures that only magic can produce ( sub-races too ) and when war comes , to attack their enemies via magical portals and such.

Technology on the other side will allow the civilization to make bigger / better mech constructs. Meaning that you will be able to make robots / cyborgs and such and when war comes , to attack their enemies using machines ( ground mechs and air mechs ).

When two civilizations will ally ( one with magic , one with technological upgrades ) I will then introduce the " Combined Tech Upgrades ".

PS : What do you mean by constrained ?

So I was thinking of either playing as.

Technological Angels who live mostly in cyberspace "heaven" but create biomechanical bodies to do work in the physical world, they make Salvation machines that they use to convert willing allies into computer programs so that they may live in paradise with the Angels. While friendly they tend to be a little evangelical trying to spread faith in technology.

Or

Intelligent slime who use weird living technology, they seek to "wake up the world" turning it little by little into intelligent thinking slime. This process is slow and will probably take a thousand years but still. As the slimes eschew traditional hierarchy they will have an unusual God.

@Lucidnonsense Your first race would be nice but you have to remember that EvoTier 1 = Stone Age. So...no biomechanical bodies yet.

The second one ? It looks DAMN good. I really like it :)

Oh perhaps for the first one It could start with like....human cultists and the Biomechanical angels come later. might do the second one instead.

@Lucidnonsense@Duck So...if you guys are interested in this. I should make a new thread on the RP page , right ?

Yep.

Bump

Interested. Let me know if there is a sign up page.

OCC PAGE : roleplayerguild.com/topics/142014-the-..

@HueMan Sorry. It seems I forgot to put an OCC link here.

That was not in fact a link to the OOC, it is a link to this page.

This on the other hand is.

@Eklispe True. Sorry. On the phone...:)
