General: don't worry about having armies to guard each individual settlement. Armies will be able to 'intercept' each other quite well, so one can guard a large area. But obviously mutliple armies can deal with multiple threats at once.
Syce should have a religion.
Yeah I might have started the Bunjin with a free religion, so that is a little unfair. If the Syce specifically make a religion it will definately get a head start on the first turn.
Previously spearmen could be built with raw. In fact the rules still mention that this is possible. You may want to fix this.
I was thinking we would have seperate 'hoplites' or something, but now I think we have warriors include basic spearmen too. I've edited the front page.
Hey,
@Lord of Elves
Seeing that you are at the starting point you might follow what Daftpanzer said about camps. I took his advise & the extra raw helps alot. Another thing is if you use the raw to claim the horses you'll be able to have Horsemen & Horse Archers after thinking of a way to do it.
But then again this is a testing NES so it might work now with camps 1st.

Yeah my idea is that the
camps dont give any incomes at all, they just spread control/influence over the local area and could eventually mutate into free cities (which do the same + eco income). If you want to claim a far-away resource, it would help to build camps nearby first, but yeah those horses are already close enough to Golreda.
cool. i bet religion and the diplomatic trait helped.
Yep!
Could a nation use either of these orders to try and subvert an NPC city/camp and make it part of their own nation? If so, how many points would you need approximately to hope for success (assume the nation is not 'diplomatic').
Yes but it all depends
Some have been assimilated for just 1 command point so far.
Orders
1. Use one command to move civics toward centralized
2. Use one raw to build a camp south of Cortha towards the cows. Preferred Name: Sura
@lopaz, again maybe you just want to Raw: -> claim those cows, so you get income? Its close enough to Cortha, but also close to the Marrack tribe... so maybe try to influence them or move your army south a bit, you see?

Hello, strangers from the north. We are the Kideajin, the people of the forest. We come in no harm, ad wish for everlasting peace. Do you agree?
@Omega, the berries are already claimed by white NPC, sorry if thats not clear. To the west, gold and deer are in reach of your existing camps, if you want to claim one of those (they are unclaimed / no little dots on them).
Hey,
Question Time.
I believe that some resources could be captured. Acres of grapevines, herds of sheep, hunting grounds? If not I need to change my orders.
Thanks,
Blaze Injun
the map seems to suggest that the barbs built some vineyards for you to claim so this is a mute point isn't it?
i.
Yeah what I mean is, if there is an ownership dot next to the resource, then it means some people are already working there, and you can just take over production. So yeah, the NPC town of Turawa is working those berries, and you can capture them with your army, provided Turawa army is kept at bay (it has unkown but likely small number of units).
If there is no dot, nobody is there working the resource, and your army can't capture anything, you have to set up your own production.
Diplo responses coming soon!
I said grapevines instead of wild grapes.
