@Bright_Ops Well it's never to late to be added to the waiting list, but seeing as it's so long I cannot guarantee you'll ever get in.

Edit: Turn 4 is live, boys.
Edit 2: Added a "climate explanation" map to the OOC OP. Check it out below the current map.

@Chenzor Can I scrap the boats we arrived in and use them to make tugs and fishing boats rather than cutting trees down?

@Lady Selune Yep. You can salvage them.

Edit: For these kinda questions I suggest hopping onto our discord server and asking there :D way easier than posting and waiting for reply!

@Lady Selune normally I don't doublepost but I think I'm justified this once, hehe...
You're gonna have to do some editing to your last post, Selune. The orcs are simply not spotable from the shores, there are several miles between Iron Rock and the coast alone. Also I thought you were going to salvage your boats? Building them is one thing, sending them on an expedition so far away AND having them return the same turn is another matter completely. Keep in mind you have between 250-300 population. Having a small fleet of boats PLUS two war-galleys isn't realistic manpower-wise. A few fishingships, sure, I won't really dictate the terms of having fish as a foodsource, but what you did this turn was worth at least 2-3 turns of time. Here's what I'd probably do: Turn 1, salvage the ships for wood and build new ones. Turn 2, fishing is fully established as a foodsource, and you may send an expedition south along the coast. Turn 3, they'd make it as far as the jungle south of you and return, if you want them to return at turn 3. If you want them to travel further, like down to Celebrimbor, you'd have to wait another turn.

Also I had no idea you had vineyards already?

I hate to be crapping on your parade here, but what you're trying to do this turn just isn't in line with the rest of the roleplay here. I don't have a set established number of how big the continent is in square kilometers or square miles, but keep in mind it is a continent. From Iron Rock to the closest coastline it's probably a few days travel. It took Stein's orc warlord Nagrub one turn to get halfway to Celebrimbor from Iron Rock, and that was with a morale boost that increased his movementspeed, even.

... So ... Well, I hope I didn't discourage you from what you had planned. I encourage it, it just can't be done all in one turn and with so little manpower.
I urge you to rewrite your post! Sorry for the inconvinience!

Ah, right, I got the distance once; I thought the flag was closer.

EDIT: Reworked the post. One Bireme under construction, small exploration by sailors, vinyard planted as part of this next food improvement turn, hilltop government building (to be eventually turned into a palace of some sort,) established.

Hope that's better.

@Chenzor

You placed the settlement wrong. They're at the western base of the mountain, south side of the west river.

@Kangutso
You need to put it in [@square brackets].

@Chenzor

Yep, I noticed.

@Kangutso Ah, gotcha. I'll correct that come next turn!

Edit: How's everyone doing? Waiting on plenty of posts.

And the silence was deafening...

I'm making my post now. Had ice storms come through Friday and yesterday, so was more focused on dealing with that.

@Cyclone Yeah this tends to happen while waiting for the last few posts, hehe. If it takes too long without word, we'll just advance to the next turn without the stragglers :)

[@Cheznor]

Just reporting active but waiting for the next turn. How many AI civs are there?

Hey boys. Been a lot of things I've wanted to do recently so I haven't gotten to the whole writing-a-post thing. Terribly sorry about that! I'll try to get to it tomorrow - even though I just bought a new game I want to try, god help me.

@Lady Selune There's no set number, really. At the moment, I don't have to manage any NPC's since there are none discovered yet, but depending on how much you guys explore and how much land you guys claim as your own there'll always be NPC's to find.

Apologies for the extremely late post. I've just been kind of a mess recently and there were some errors in communication. Fortunately (for me) it seems Chen has been pretty slow as well.

Ah man now I feel bad... Poor Elves, I just wanted to be orcy and all I feel is guilt.

As you should :>

I know this RP's full at the moment but it looks super awesome so I'd like to state my interest if there's still room on the waiting list.

^^ Same.

@Dogematix Sure thing pal. Though the holding list is very long now.
