ChipNES03: The Rise of Mana

ChipNES03: The Rise Of Mana​

YOU MANY NOT POST YET.



It is a world born of magic and unmade by magic. It is a world now REMADE by magic. This is a Cradle NES, except the cradles kinda big. Nobody knows how the people how began civilization choose to start it in this area, but that doesn't matter. For over history it shall flow over the world. This is a fantasy nes, but not quite. It is a fantasy nes is the sense that there are different races, magic, mythical creatures yadda yadda yadda. But it isn't like a regular one in that i want it to develope like a world WITH magic, not a world OF magic. Just how people's ability to use technology and tools evolved over the millenia, so will peoples ability to harness the raw power that is mana.

But your all probably bored now so without further ado, DA RULES!!!!!!


Economy

One of the most vital stats to any NES. This represents your amount of funds availible to spend. I'm using a slightly modified version of Iggy's Awesome Eco System. Thats its new name. Seriously. But anywho, at the start every civilization must have some means of supporting itself, so it has its Nomad/Agricultural economic factor, just as in Iggy's NES.

Then there are of course City's. The poet Walt Whitman once said "A great city is that which has the greatest men and women. " I don't think he ever NESed but he should have been more specific. I will be using the Modified Three City System. Based off the one currently in use in such NESes as LINESII, the system I will be using is modified a bit. There will be:

Economic Centers, which are center of trade, center of Manufacturing, capitals of Agricultural Provinces, or other money producing places. They will produce 1 Eco Point.

Cities of Great Importance, which are either a cultural center or a religious centers. They produce 1 economic point a turn and will give sporadic bonuses. They make your people happy, but if you lose them, it’ll be very very bad for you.

Center of Magic. Centers of Magic either have a huge concentration of Magic, or are home to many magical innovations, or so on and so forth. They give you 1 Mana a turn, and will produce effects sometimes. They are very important to have.

In the end your economy stat will look like X- Agri-nomad Economy/Urban Economy/Anything Else.

Magic and Mana

Magic and Mana, the forces that make this world especially special. Magic is the result of using Mana. Mana is the force that the very fiber of existence creates that allows you to use magic. The explaination of the System i am using is in post number two.

In this NES though, Mana will allow you to do many, many things. You can enchant your weapons, help build a wonder, summon creature to help your army, or summon an army all together. If you can think of it you can do it. Mana is very open ended, all you need to do is keep in your color(see post #2).

Many will work much like economy in this, or at least be represented by it. Every civilization will start out with the basic ability to use mana. They draw it from the land the have, from their population also. Their "natural" mana is much like the Nomadic Agricultural part of the Economy. Then there is mana they produce from wonders or Centers of Magic or Artifacts. That is represented in the Other Mana side.

You can use mana for anything, investing it. Money and Mana are usaully interchangable but work best together. But you must keep in mind that its definiatly quantity mana. Big spells take lots of mana, so you can't be like "Us one mana,, sink that island, or summon a category 5 hurricane". One mana might get you a strong wind and some rain. The more mana you put in, the better result.

Mana will be represented lik so. Total- Natural Mana/Other Mana.

Military

Woop, give it up for the military, it makes it all happen. The wars, the peace, they make it HAPPEN! Oh, yeah. YOu have a Navy, an Army, and an Air Force. You may create 1 UU, which if yu don't know what one is.....yikes.

I am using the Iggy's Most Excellent Strength System. All units will have a little number indicator by their side to show their strength. As ages pass they may get stronger, or if you enchant their weapons give them special abilities, they will get stronger. I will put a strength value by all units, which is dependent on their weaponry, training, race, and other factors. The basic units are Archers, Swordsman, Spearmen, Wizards/Shamans/Mages whatever you want to call them, but you can get dreative with it.

Since there is magic, as i mentioned earlier, you can summon creatures to fight in your army. Most summonings become a permanent part of your army, but other may be one turn ordeals or if they are very powerful , they might break away. Be very creative with this, i love creativity, SO MUCH!!!!!

Swordsmen, Spearman, Archer type units are 1000 per eco point, Horsemen like units, or horseman sized units are 500 an eco point, contraptions(Seige Weapons, other Artifical Stuff) is 5 an eco point, and really big stuff is one eco point for 1.

For ships its 10 for 1.

Academia

Much like the education stat, but measures both the academic value of your nation, but also the knowledge it has. High Academia allows you to discover things faster, to perfect complicated spells, to advance in most everything. But in ancient times its not cheap. Education levels 1-3 cost you 1 economy points. Education levels 4-6 cost you 2 economy points. Education levels 7-9 cost 3 economy points. Education level 10 costs 4 economy points.

Confidence

Your people's confidence in nation and leadership. Low confidence=revolts and revolutions. High confidence=militia on the defense, strong faith in you no matter what you do.
(Hateful, Resentful, Tolerating, Neutral, Respecting, Admiring, Loving, Worshipping)

Culture

Culture can increase through stories, wonders, and Cultural or Religious centers. It is the measure of your people identity with each other, but also their importance to themselves or the world. Greece had good culture, The Deomcratic Republic of Congo....doesn't.
(None, Pathetic, Mediocre, Average, Strong, Influential, Outstanding, Wonder of the World)

Wonderous Works

Wonderous Works are things produce, build, conjured by your nation that give bonus. They can be giant monuments(Wonders), long term projects(projects) or artifacts of great and legendary power. I will give you a number, that how much you must invest in it to finish it. You may invest 1 eco point and 1 mana a turn into them.

Government

Guess.....

Religion

Religion is a very important thing as it means different things and will thusly be different for each Color. But you can create your own religion or convert to others religions. Your religions start out basic but advance over time, by you adding beleifs evolving it. Or you could just be like Oneism and jump right it. I jest, I kid. But religion drive people, it mold empires, makes allainces, starts wars. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH. But be careful what you wish for. In a world full of magic, who knows what beleif can lead too.

Races

Whats a good fantasy NES without magical races. You are encouraged to be the ones listed below, but you can be other mystical creatures if you PM and i approve.

Humans: The main inhabitants, they have proven apt with magic and they mate a lot. They start with 2 natural mana regardless of color and can live in any area. Other than that they are pretty much the average.

Elves: Elves split into many different parts long ago.

High Elves prefer to be white and live in large and grand cities and empires. They have 2 natural if they are White, and 1 if any other color. They get a bonus in confiedence.

Wood Elves perfer the forests to the splendor of of the High Elves lands. They love nature so, and have 3 natural mana if they are green.

Dark Elves(drow) are the lesser cousins of the others, and get two natural mana if they are Black, and 1 if not black.Quite good raiders.

Dwarves Strong and stout, they perfer the mountains, or at least the area around them. They get a small strength bonus and get two natural mana if they are red, and 1 otherwise.

Goblinoids Includes Ogres, Giants, Goblins. They are barely just civlizing, and are very chaotic. They get 1 natural mana is Red, Green, Or Black, and none if blue or white. They are good mercenaries though.

Halflings/Hobbits/Gnomes Pretty much the same thing no matter what you call them, they are little peoples. They get two natural mana if Blue, Green or White, and 1 if Black or Red. They get a slight strength decrease. But they have lots a babies....thats a plus...

PM me about others like Minotaurs and such.

There will also be mythical creatures since its a mythical place. So you can write about unicorns and drakes and other fanciful things. But beware, they aren't all nice. BTW, Dragons are still around but VERRRRYYY rare, very.

Stories

I LOVE STORIES!!!!!!!!! If you write them, bonuses will come. And i will like you.... a lot. Stories are a good way to "bribe" the mod.

Orders and Updates and Stuff

PM ORDERSS!!!!! I won't pubnish for being vague, but that doesn't mean don't send tactics. Tactics are very good. And include your nation name in the title.

Updates will be good and hopefully frequent, at least once a week.

NPCs i won't make too many of at the beginning, but that doesn't mean the'll roll over.

Barbarians are fun. YAY!

Description: Please describe your people

Unlike most other magic NESes, which have the schools of magic that you must choose from, i'm using a guideline system. I think that the school system constricts too much, but i also think that letting people go wild wouldn't be amazing either. So i've adopted a color system much like the one used in magic.

Red: Those who tap into red magic can do a variety of things with it. Its a very raw type of mana. The people who use it tend to be impulsive, or seem primitive, but not always. Red is the magic of Dragons(usually, not always), or fire and explosives, of lightning, of destruction. Its the mana of not Nature, but of the very Earth itself, in all its unharnessed power. A user of red magic can do very much, can build big empires and lead huge armies. But it must be careful least it lose control, becuse red does NOT like to be controled.

Your Civilization doesn't have to subcribe to all of these, it can pick and choose, and you can put your own spin on it. Good reading is this article, but its not required.

Blue: Blue is almost the opposite of Red magic. It is a color of Power, Control, Knowledge, Intruige. They do anything to gain in power. They can be good, evil, or neutral. They can be people of the Air or Sea or of the Shadows eavesdropping on the enemy. Blue can be trustworthy and staunch but also fluid and shadowy. With blue, the Ends justify the Means. They build huge empires with diplomacy, with manipulation and quick strikes. They look towards the future, always innovating. They only must watch that their scheming doesn't catch up with them


Your Civilization doesn't have to subcribe to all of these, it can pick and choose, and you can put your own spin on it. Good reading is this article but its not required.

Green: The color of nature, of the forests, or life. Druids or fierce warriors, hermits or Kings of all they see. These are the variables of Green. Green usually shares a specially affinity with nature or animals, with growth and strength. Green can be peacful and focus on growing, or it can be agressive to protect what it beleives it. The user of green can tap Mother Nature herself, can call upon life itself. Its a huge power trove. It empires can be vast and peaceful, or vast and war-like.


Your Civilization doesn't have to subcribe to all of these, it can pick and choose, and you can put your own spin on it. Good reading is this articlebut its not required.

White: Yeah, i know, the color i made it is actually Lemon Chiffon, but who gives a flying fu.....dge. Anywho, White is the color of Peace(by any means nessacery ), purity, piety, order. It is very rule oreited, everyone must fall in line for the good of the whole or whites gonna beat you. White is moral, white is controlling. White is fanatical, everything is eitherr right or wrong. White is about law and order. But there is of course a softer side to white. White heals and cares, white is honest. But White is no softy. It will wield its hordes of followers to crush you if you get in the way of its precious order.


Your Civilization doesn't have to subcribe to all of these, it can pick and choose, and you can put your own spin on it. Good reading is this articlebut its not required.

Black: The color of greed, power, selfishness, death. Black is all about you getting whats good for you, not caring about nayone else. Black is the color that tries to gain the most for itself. Black will use any means necessary to get what it wants. Genocide, hostages, even pretending to like people. I know, horrible. Black gets what it wants. Black will sacrifice a million lives in an instant to acheive power. Black will consort with demons and the "dark arts". Black Power


Your Civilization doesn't have to subcribe to all of these, it can pick and choose, and you can put your own spin on it. Good reading is this article but its not required.

Wonderous Works: The Bazfürge-(+Magical Weapons for all Units, +1 Economy, +1 Mana)4/16
Description: To the peoples of Darnoria, fire is life. Fire is the gift the Gods gave the Dwarves to set them apart from all other races, and with fire they have set out to conquer all things natural. Nature is an affront to dwarven kind, spitting in the face of all Dwarven accomplishments. What sets Dwarves from animals, elves, goblins, and to some extent humans, is their technology, which the Darnorian people treasure above all. They have set it upon themselves to conquer, to destroy, and to desecrate all forms of "nature" in order to impose the will of Baz, God of Fire and War, upon the Earth.

There is one exception, however. Of all opposing elements, water is respected. It tames fire, and gives life, and as Glana is Godess of Water and Earth, the Dwarves respect it with profound honor.

Honor also drives dwarven life- honor amongst Dwarves, at least. Insulting one's family in Dwarven society is the quickest ways to the incinerators, of which the dwarves of Darnoria live in constant fear. Draconian laws govern their life, and few disobey, for they know their fate as sacrifice to Baz if they do...

Technology: Copper Age
Confidence:Respecting
Culture: Pathetic
Wonderous Works: The Triple Walls (+city fortifications, +1 mana, +2 culture)4/6
Description: The Aerurikans are a group of people who, longing to escape the "oppression" of other cultures, founded their state as an oddity--a nation completely and utterly devoted to pursuing whatever they wish. Regrettably, the capital has become overrun with hedonists of all kinds--drunks, gluttons, and rapists, and with very little power invested in the government, the capital itself has become a crime ridden warren. Nicely illustrating human nature, this has made it a center of trade in the region, and of religion--for these men hold as most holy their god Aemor--their religion name almost literally means Amoralism. Utterly without a code of ethics, the world would very much be a more terrible place under Aerurikan rule. Fortunately, they seem to be uninterested in expansion... So far.

In recent years the population has begun to grow in extreme numbers, testing the Ath'anes resolve for the land. And true, "cities" did devolped after a while.

Description: Even as nomads the people of Uroussydia have kept close to the sea. The early tribes built their first settlements as fishing villages along the coast. Their reliance on the ocean instilled a repect for the elements and sea life. Naturally a mythos developed around the sea and what wonders may lie beneath the surface. Thus, out of the myriad of gods available to mankind, the Uroussi chose Otreus as their dominant one. By the onset of written history, Windshore had become a sizeable trading port. Scholars had learned much about the peoples outside their borders. By keeing relations with them there is potential for growth and advancement, but there are also dangers. The barbarious forces of the land are seen as a threat to the Uroussi's orderly way of life, but for now they have no choice but to deal with it. Maybe with enough devotion and research, they will find a way to cross under the waves and be with their god. But they may also find that running away from their problems will do anything but solve them.

Let The Chaos And Amazingness Begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will join, but I must sleep on who I wish to join as.

Let me think about this. So I have to choose a Color of magic then a number of the stats in that color?

No, just a color. The color thing is an explainatin of it. The words are little sumaries of what people of that color do, like, etc. so you can pick the one that you think most fits the nation you want to build. You have a lot of leeway in the color to innovate and create.

And sorry, at first not multi- coloring.

I might join, but not before someone else does
