Tribez Rebirth info/OOC thread

[mbl]

So I'm just going to make a new thread for conversations with this revamped tribes.

Things That Have Changed

1. Full color, bitches
2. PC appearances will also be a bit different, you'll see.
3. Spawning system changed, now you choose a class to decide your starting bonuses.
4. Prayer has been hardcore nerfed. Here are some big things:

+ Now Only character with prayer artifacts (Example: Talismans) can pray, players without artifacts cannot join in to help them. Multiple PCs with artifacts can still group up to pray for the same thing and be more efficient.
+ We pray for one thing at a time.
+ PP isn't a thing, you do not know how many turns it will take for the thing you are praying for to finish.
+Prayer is now heavily connected to your gods' influence, which at the start isn't all that much. At the start prayer can only achieve minor physical effects (Trees being chopped down, enemies being hurt) or minor transformations (Tools being upgraded or repaired).
+Prayer's effects can now be felt within your god's area of influence (AKA near shrines) or within a short distance of the PC praying. Which means priest PCs can pray from anywhere and have the effects felt near them.

Basically early on prayer can take the place most tools and be used in combat and for healing, but will be rather weak and less efficient than using actual tools/weapons until your god grows in power or the praying PC's skill increases.

5. Your god's strength will now be more of a thing, I'll probably add actual stats for the gods in the first update.
6. Having a hunger stat that decreases every turn seems like more trouble for me than it is worth, so I'll be coming up with a way to simplify that sort of thing. I might just say something like "if someone hasn't eaten by the end of the day, they'll begin starving".

This post will soon contain basic info, and info on things that will be different from the original game, for now PLACEHOLDER

--- Bestiary ---

Humanoids

Humanoid creatures are common servants to gods, as they are generally intelligent and can operate on their own efficiently while not requiring the level of energy many others require to create.

Whites/Blacks: The PC races. They generally average at everything but can develop specialties via repetitively doing the same work.

Orks: Grayish-red skinned, tusked creatures seen inhabiting the Savanna. They can come in a wide variety of shapes and skillsets. They are created specialized to do something in particular, and are only able to improve their skills related to that task.

Abberations

Abberations are strange creatures whose physiology is unpredictable and unexplainable. Generally, abberations break the rules of reality set by the god's game. Creating an abberation is one of the most difficult tasks a god can perform, and is usually impossible for none but the most powerful of gods. Abberations are rare, and are generally being created of their own accord, uncontrolled by the gods.

Hyptogryphs: Discovered by team black in the hills. Almost nothing is known about them yet (Unless people remember them from doodlequest).

--- Lore ---

Geography of the Realm

The Realm is a plane created by the gods to be inhabited by mortals. It existed long before the god's competition, but was decided as the location for the struggle to take place. The plane is made up of a core and four rings around it referred to as 'walls'; the core and first three walls contain inhabitable lands, while the fourth wall separates the realm from the meta.

Core and First Wall: Little Info available right now.

The Second Wall: Starting area of the PC teams. Constantly facing the thread of invasion from Ixyll's forces on the third wall, who are thankfully being limited by the efforts of the Sola Twins (See Day and Night)

The Third Wall: The Largest inhabitable area. The third wall have been almost entirely taken over by Ixyll, the lord of night, and his ruthless empire of servants. (See Day and Night)

The Fourth Wall: Barrier separating the mortal realm from the uninhabitable meta.

The Meta: The land of the gods, uninhabitable by mortals.

Day and Night

First off you need to know that the Day and Night cycle is not something that naturally exists in the realm, but is in fact the struggle between several gods that is taking place on the same Wall (See Geography) as where the PC teams start out. Day doesn't exist; it is pretty much always dark on the other walls. WIP: I'll finish this soon.

[Drakel]

This is fucking magical...

Also will there be other spirits and goloms and shit?

[The Nexerus]

I feel as though Team White's God should be given a proper name, so as to coincide with the superior civility and structure of Team White.

I propose His Divine Light be called 'Lucem'.

[mbl]

Added a "What has been changed" section to the OP, I'll deal with the rest later.

[Drakel]

Why not make it to where any PC can pray at the shrine (like random people do at a temple) but it takes double the time to pray in comparison to a priest with an artifact per PC?

So without a priest you have 0.5 PP per turn at the shrine, with the priest away from the shrine it's 1 PP and with the priest and the shrine it's 2 PP

OR in other words, Norm player takes double the time to pray when at the shrine (can't pray anywhere else though), a Priest player can pray anywhere at normal prayer amount and when the priest is at the shrine it takes half time to pray. ?? O_o

Just an idea to help. I see that item thing being abused greatly.

[Mtntopview]

Building buildings is important. Will buildings built reflect the style of each god?

[Svenn]

:D

Prayer didn't work out the way I wanted it to last time around, so I am trying to run it another way. It would be pointless for people to be crowding up at shrines to pray for the small effects you can currently achieve through prayer, maybe once your god grows in power and bigger effects are unlocked more open means of praying will be unlocked as well. Also don't think in terms of PP anymore, it over-complicates things, I'm throwing it out, I never wanted to do that in the first place but fell into it as certain players tried to figure out the math behind prayer. As far as it being abused, you seem to be misinterpreting how rare artifacts are.

Mtntopview said

Eventually they will, but your gods don't really have a style right now. The gods' style and such will be determined by how you players represent the god. When constructing, if you want to build in a certain style, just say so.

[Mtntopview]

Can the gods posess players? Like to tell important stuffs.

[The Nexerus]

How do we increase our God's influence?

Not sure if you meant your god's area of influence, or their currently unexplained stats.

Your god's have an area of influence, which is essentially the effective area in which they are most powerful. At the base that area will be around shrines or other religious buildings, but your god also has an area of influence near any of its minions who currently control an artifact (The size of the influence will vary depending on the artifact). You can increase the gods area of influence around a certain shrine by building around the shrine, religious buildings will help the most. You can also construct altars out of artifacts (Along with common building materials) which will create an area of influence for your god around them. So you increase your god's area of influence by upgrading shrines, creating and upgrading alters, and taking over other gods' shrines (Which you currently do not know how to do).

Your gods will also have stats: Power, Renown, and Alignment. Alignment is just a quick representation of what morality your god has (EX: Chaotic-Evil), and will be determined by the PC's actions in-game. Renown is how well known your god is to other gods, when it gets high NPC groups will recognize your god more and know of your group's actions. Power is the representation of your god's strength, as it increases your god will be capable of doing more. It will increase slowly as your group grows in strength, and will increase very quickly if your group does something big (Like defeating an epic creature or winning a big battle). It will also be increased through warring with other gods, when you destroy all the shrines/alters of another god, they will be weakened and your god will be able to consume them and absorb their strength.

Maybe later, your gods will be far too weak at the start.

The fuck, Broby? Don't post OOC nonsense in the command thread.

[Svenn]

ohhhh Broby gun get it

[Mtntopview]

Broby! What have you done!?

[Vordak]

mbl, is my character class okay? It's somewhat a warmonging Jack Of All Trades, but with a small drawback; and i still am unsure if it is fit for the game or a tad bit OP.

If im accepted, then could you let me know if my character still has the priveleges of a trained warrior, or if his ability replaces any inherent bonuses?

You're not getting the ability, you don't choose what items/abilities you get on these things, just give me a general class. You'll be getting average knight gear, and I've already drawn white teams update so no turning back now :P.
