Civilization Roleplay: Rise of Races (The Tribes of Nova Mondial Want You!)

We're undergoing a procedural map expansion for both the suspense and to save space for new players. Once we reach classical/medieval times we'll probably have the whole main continent, and then once we reach renaissance/colonial times the rest of the world.

I'd say I'm like 3/4 of the way through my post. At about 16,000 characters long right now.

@Cyclone

That is quite the post. Mine is like 9400 and Alfhedil's is a similar size.

@Mihndar Someone else just discovered Copper. But I will edit it.

@Elitestpotato

More than one race can discover copper. Most of us will end up discovering all the same technologies along the way, unless people think of something creative or different from the non-traditional path. You can concentrate on certain things though, to be for example ahead of most people in weapons technology.

Smelting iron requires significantly higher temperatures, which requires a bellows and a smeltery and all the relevant equipment, which won't really be possible until we get to the classical era.

<Snipped quote by Murtox>WW1 loses were horrible, especially if combined with the diseases which took even more lives but this almost only effected Europe.
Your nation is a third world country which modernized just recently.
Granted, India had the population of 200+ million and their size roughly correlates to yours, so yeah.
I don't mind your population, though.
Especially not because this means I'm even less of a global superpower, a status I don't want for Yllendthyr to be.
At least not at the moment. Many things can happen and some nation may even conquer half the globe so it's difficult to make comments about the future.

<Snipped quote by Alfhedil>Anything but jet planes, I suppose.
By GM fiat they're being suppressed for now.

On a different note, how far is Eisenkreis on the "German WW2 Tech Tree"?
I mean the date is 1939 but Voltus already said that we are at 1943 or later levels in terms of technology.

@Willy Vereb

I would like to think that we're generally at 1939-1940 but have a few things ahead of time here and there, mostly specialized weapons technology which can easily be blamed on an arms race between the major powers.

Also, all of my stuff is stolen from the Soviet Union and Greece, for an odd compilation.

@Elitestpotato

Iron is a bit too advanced for now, you should probably go for a weaker metal like copper and then work your way up to bronze, then iron.

The Cindorayi Republic, Population: 142, Year 18 IL, Age of the Quarter Moon

@Elitestpotato

Sonya smiled when the other creatures responded in kind, calling themselves "snobrewts". She quickly asked one of the others a question, and they handed over a moon crystal they had handy as they knew pacified the creatures in the east. She also took a pearl necklace from off of her neck, and placed one in each of her hands. She cautiously approached the creatures, offering it to the one in the front.

In the main town of Lunysvet, the entire population had gathered in the central square for a single purpose: the election of the new leader of the entire Cindorayi civilization. The votes from each of the other two villages were brought on stone tablets, though heavy, for counting. When the vote counter was finished, she announced: "Ekatyrina has been confirmed, with seventy-six votes, as the leader of all the Cindorayi."

"Thank you," replied Ekatyrina. Though the others who ran were slightly disappointed, they respected the vote and nodded their approval.

There was some discussion amongst the Council, and when it was finished Ekatyrina said:

"The Cindorayi Council has come to the conclusion that no leader of the Cindorayi should rank above any other, or be treated any differently from anyone else. As such, the leader of the Cindorayi, beginning with Ekatyrina, will be known as the First Citizen, the first among equals."

"The Council will be elected similarly, as every Cindorayi votes for who they believe would be best for each role."

"An election will be held every six years, to either confirm the current leader and councilors or choose new ones. This will mark the era of a new form of government, one we call a 'republic'. May it last a hundred years of learning!" The other Cindorayi all around cheered.

In the nearby village of Tyrnovuna, experimenting with ways to make agriculture easier, one of the farmers devised a shape of stone tool he called a plow, which makes a narrow trench in the ground that seeds can then be placed into. This makes them much likelier to grow and to not be washed away. This invention is quickly spread to the other villages for its utility.

Agriculture: 4/4
Masonry: 2/4
Stone tools: 4/8
Writing: 3/6

@Mihndar
So like a civilization type "turns until research is complete?" Is it an additional 4 turns for completetion at rank? (Ex: 4 for first level of advancement, then 8, 12, 16 and so on) or is there a set time for each major project?

@Nerevarine

Exactly. And no, you can set it to whatever you think reasonable. It's just to make sure nobody develops anything crazy without one of the GMs noticing, or takes an unrealistically small amount of time to research something.

Anybody know a good site for details on all the weapons for the time period we're in?

@Raijinslayer

It's obvious but it works.

@Aweirdgamer@Urcica@Neruu@Valkyr@Joegreenbeen@Raindeer@Diehard243@Cuddle Pot

MangoJuice and I have come to the conclusion that in order to keep track of everyone's technological advancements and ensure fairness, the time has come for important research projects (so you can invent a flute or something without this) to be recorded by a post counter.

For example, for the Cindorayi at the moment it would read:

Agriculture: 4/4
Masonry: 1/4
Stone tools: 3/8

They all advance at once, and you can have as many as you like within reason.

Also, there is to be a distinction between dialogue posts and proper IC posts. Dialogue posts contain nothing but interaction between you and another player, can be posted one after another, and cannot advance your technology post counters. Proper IC posts can have both and advance your technology counters, but can only be posted after two or more other people have made proper posts.

Any clarification needed on the new rules?

@Mihndar Do you think 50 Million is good?

@thegreenleafe

Sounds about right.
