DaftNES 3: Alternate-World Fresh Start

[Daftpanzer]

ONLY MINUTES REMAIN, though I believe I'm only missing orders for Rhuhia and Ethaliri.

Update is scheduled for not-tonight, I'm afraid. Cradle#1 is kinda complicated!

@Lord_Iggy I should probably clarify the limits for building units. Abaddon lied to you. You misinterpreted Abaddon's comments. It is base 1 by default, anywhere where you already have stuff. Each nomad or city adds another 1. Forts allow another ground unit, and ports another shippy. Soo, in Zakat you could build 2 units (1 from stuff, 1 from a city). Also the other tribes there could be bribed potentially, most likely for 0.5e a turn, depending what you ask of them. If you want to edit or re-send that is OK, since I expect to be busy with the other cradles until about this time tomorrow.

@Shadowbound I just noted you changed your orders to build 4 units, I'm afraid I also have a problem with that... As with Lord_Iggy your limit is 2 units there. So I thought you'd like a fortress instead (for defence, and +1 ground building unit per turn, and it doesn't need upkeep).

Anyway the reasons for these limits is that I thought it would be weird if hordes of units appeared from nowhere, and I thought it would be more interesting if cities and stuff also represented your available manpower. And those who get most income from trade or religion or whatever could hire mercenaries and stuff.

 

[Shadowbound]

@Daft: I changed it before I looked at Kraz's orders and learned he was invading me. I like the honor system, because it saves me having to delete PMs. But, yes, I did forget that part about the recruitment limit. I'll go with a fort, because you suggested it and not me and my aware self.

 

[Solanaar]

1 point to increase agriculture.
1 point to increase military power.

 

[Thlayli]

Read the rules, good sir. It costs your level + 1 to increase the stat qualities.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Its getting done, trust me. Many hours many days... Actually tommorrow evening is looking pretty good.

So yeah when it gets to this level of complexity and workload I usually procrastinate or try to reinvent everything, or just end it. But this time I think we can just have massive destruction. So my idea is, the turn after the update I'm doing now, as we enter the pseudo-classical age, I will raise the bar on what counts as a worthwhile faction to be listed in the stats. Players should be immune to this, but quite a few NPC's can return to barbarian statlessness, hopefully.

1 point to increase agriculture.
1 point to increase military power.

@Solanaar thanks but I've already stuck your faction into a big war in the neighbouring eastern lands. And may I say I get the impression you don't really give a flying f**k If you check back after the update you can send new orders then if you want.

 

[Thlayli]

I am terribly sorry that your playtesting didn't forsee the increased work, Daft. You're doing a great job, and whatever you want us players to contribute, just let us know.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Thankyou Thlayli. You could contribute money. That would make me feel better. But then I would have to pay you for your time too. Hmm... Or get me a hyperbolic time chamber like in DBZ and I could go in there and do the update.

Yeah my playtesting had far fewer factions, added in slowly, not like all at once. Abaddon has pointed out the problem of ever-escalating numbers of units. I'm going to need a bigger map lol.

My emergancy plan is for BT-type events were everything is culled, but not that things are actually destroyed in the game, its just that the bar is raised on what each icon represents. Like hypothetically in the modern age, one city icon would represent something like 4 or 5 what there is now, same for units and etc. And so the incomes and calculations don't get out of hand either. Though that causes some issues with the tech system. Anyway, going to sleep...

 

[Vylinius]

You could make it so that it is techs are the culling event. Just an idea not sure how even that would work.

 

[Daftpanzer]

I'm just writing the update text now. May be ready in another three hours or so.

@Thlayli please stop saying contrived things like that, I look all ecotiscal when I reply

@lopaz maybe, maybe...

 

[Thlayli]

Me? Contrive? Never....

 

[Daftpanzer]

UPDATE 3:

Years 1500 to 1800

CRADLE ONE:

The great kings of the Ongens have already sailed off into the sunset. A new dynasty takes over, inheriting many new mercantile outposts in the western 'Etuan' sea, collecting dyes, silver and amber for the port-markets of the home islands, forming strong ties with the kingdom of Rhuhia and the new northern kingdom of Yaneid in particular. But it also inherits a growing problem of corruption and blatant piracy, even between the great merchant houses themselves. Ongen power is further weakened as a result of its own confrontational stance towards the seafarers of the eastern sea; the factions of Cria find themselves banding together against Ongen intimidation, and some brief sea-wars end inconclusively. Calenge is on the rise again, while the Novai complete the expulsion of the Napodi and barbarian boat-peoples, and the Varai League slowly assembles from a combination of former barbarians and Ongen exiles. The warriors of Cria are now perhaps most experienced and best equipped in the region, importing quality bronze weapons from the Vetharil. The Ongens face more trouble at home, as a near civil war breaks out between Idovai cultists and the followers of Antar.

The many bloody wars across the southern coast of the Middle Sea cause further disruption and seal the decline of Etua as a major trade centre. The lands of Chari are fought over by the Ethaliri and their allies, the Iskander Anatar'ah, and a separatist dynasty of Rattram rulers calling themselves the Gattra. The Gattra are eager to return to the aggressive raiding of previous ages, and seek to settle among the fertile grasslands. Now Grandfather White Beard is long dead, and the reduced Rattram ranks face determined attack from the Iskander and Salkadji warriors of Qan'ma, stirred up by a new generation of fanaticism, eager to avenge the many decades of deprivations dealt out to their forbears. The Qizilbay fail in their goal to subdue the Rattram, but not before striking a blow to morale with the sacking and desecration of their ancient monuments. Qan'ma is invaded in turn by the new eastern peoples known as the Haelani, completing the picture of utter chaos and confusion in the region. Something of a dark age has dawned; the westward spread of iron working at this time hints at the unavailability of bronze and tin, due to disruption of the old economic order. But through it all, Qan'ma only increases in importance as a religious centre.

As for the Haelani, their story begins in Jrika, with a barbarian leader of great cunning and truly rare genius, and the lingering after-effects of the great freezing of the previous age and the migrations which followed. Gathering up various exiles, among them some barbarians expelled from the Shahan mountains, the one known as 'Haelbane' leads a great army into Hurud, seeking the pillage the many wealthy cities there. One story claims the Hurians are given a curse by the Shahanar travellers who are rather brutally evicted from Hurud, that war and pestilence would follow this act of inhospitality. War does come, though the combined army of Hurians and Sarakites manages to deal a crushing blow to the Haelani, killing Haelbane on the battlefield. It is the dreaded pestilence that causes most suffering to Hurudians. Miraculously, the disparate remnants of the Haelani are held together by successive rulers, managing to overrun the Makdul kingdom of Makar as its king is busy with a massive campaign in the southern desert, but facing stubborn resistance from the Nashawi. The land of Makar now becomes the place of many temples and faiths, home to many wandering traders and warriors, perhaps destined to overtake Shahan as the new nexus of civilization on the continent, although for now it falls victim to the same pestilence that ravages Hurud.

After many bloody battles, the Shahanar expel the barbarian invaders of Shahan with help from the Tharnites and Haskite mercenaries. The great pestilence passes, and simultaneously the Tharnite high temple is rebuilt on a prominent hilltop, a marvel of architecture and geometry, designed to focus the mystical energies running through the mountains of Shahan. The temple itself remains customarily unadorned, and partly constructed of a new concoction, concrete. Similar to the holy cites of Qan'ma, it becomes an important place of worship and pilgrimage for the followers of Tharnite mysticism who are now spread far across the known world. This also brings more customers to the markets of the Shahanar, which are already flourishing with the revival of gem mining and the spread of camel-driven trade, encouraged by the Sa'ad Danab 'pleasure circuses' of the Karu oases, where one can also find treasures of the paradise queendom of Ka Molo. This is not to mention new overseas trading based out of new harbours, built with the aid of Tharnite knowledge of masonry and engineering; in scholarly circles, Tharnite-Shahanar philosophy and mathematics competes with the Hurian, Novai and Nartozieroni spheres of thought across the known world.

To the north, Karelan culture infuses among the tribes of Jrika, giving rise to the Torecan peoples with their ways of trading and fighting on the shores of the great inland sea, or 'White Sea' as it was once known to the Halkska. The Halkska migrate steadily eastwards during this era, sometimes displacing other tribes along the way, and ending with a strong new confederation planted on the eastern coast of the great continent. Meanwhile the warriors of En Corthan, greatly strengthened in number and motivated by their ideals of service to the people, first reunify Zamar and then find themselves expanding into the void left by the Halkska, though they face growing numbers of embittered barbarian tribes in the neighbouring lands.

Some of the old Nartozieroni cities remain under barbarian rule at this time, but this seems unlikely to last; the native Nartozieroni grow ever stronger behind new fortifications and under the rule of a great Shahanshah. In the lands of Teph, the Tephite period gives way to the age of the Teiros, as the last of the old dynasties officially ends with the coronation of a half-barbarian prince. Some of the Teiros pick up the art of horseback riding during this era, talents which soon spread to the Gorukanu kingdom, though horses strong enough to easily take a man's weight are still a rare breed.

In the far south of the world, ships of the Sarakites and Noidi make a profitable trade, though Noidi seafarers have yet to venture far onto the wild southern expanse of seemingly endless water. Iron working spreads here ahead of bronze working, new tools making it easier for people to tame the jungle; the Noidi population expands, while combined Sarakite, Noidi and Shahanar influence gives rise to the nearby kingdom of Nandin. To the west lies the revitalised kingdom of the Nomesters, with a great army united under a great new king; though they hear rumours of wealthy trading kingdoms in the west, for now the Nomester warriors cannot pass the jungles of Taudi.

CRADLE TWO:

After more tough battles, and the introduction of steel-bladed weapons, the Xitaan Empire finally has its victory over the Zharu, but this also proves its undoing. Enlightened Prince Kaiutau frees the Zharu slaves and leads a rebellion against his own father, the God-Emperor-General, leaving the Vakar mercenaries to claim their own lands in Zhunun, and perhaps even to decide to fate of the whole region...

To the west, things are relatively peaceful. The Houlau kingdom settles problems with its ethnic-Vakar peoples. Farming and metalworking slowly change lifestyles all along the coastal grasslands. The Vauri seek the guidance of their high priestesses, with a philosophy surprisingly similar to the Yenleta Sav of the Aquen far to the south-east.

Tarak passes through many different dynasties, but the life-blood trade routes are always maintained. Eventually they give birth to the kingdom of Jalatu Taej in the far north; its people and culture sharing much less in common with the civilizations of the south, though still benefiting from the transmission of ideas between the southern-central civilizations. In return the Jalatu spread tales of the three great kingdoms of 'Noda', 'Saak' and 'Hanar' that are said to rule over great islands on the northern edge of the world...

The east sees the steady expansion of Tarezisis and Aquen civilization, both powers accumulating vast wealth from relatively stable and peaceful rule, following the return of more pleasant climates in the south. However, the Tarezisis soon come up against the borders of the rising power of Sagu Ra-u, born as an alliance of several warlike tribes. Meanwhile the Aquen face violent resistance in the land of Sailan, evicting one tribe only to face newcomers from the east, but their troops persevere under the threat of the Oltacian Ban. Stuck in the middle is the Haiu kingdom; exiles from the first tribes of Sailan flee here and stir up riots against the Aquen, fuelled by the fact that Tarezisis cults have also taken root in the kingdom; in one infamous episode the Aquen temple is burned and looted, and the Aquen high priests are almost caught and killed by the horde before Haiu troops intervene. The Haiu kings fear for upsetting their much stronger neighbours...

While the Yenleta Sav continue to wield great influence over the expanding world of the Aquen, the pride of the Tarezisis is a great complex of nature-shrines and noble burial mounds, which sees great new ritual platforms and stone statues added during this era, becoming renowned as a true wonder of the continent.

CRADLE THREE:

The Agrians gain more power in the Sollo islands, as the Harao are steadily assimilated and reduced to a seafaring and mercantile caste, one that is admittedly still rather wealthy and important for the economy of the region. Meanwhile the Agrians expand onto the great land in the southeast, their shamans followed by waves of settlers, all gaining new followers for their dualistic elementalism. Agrian influence is nothing new on the coasts of Nalko, but in neighbouring lands there are strange peoples - such as the Halachamo - who are less enthusiastic. Meanwhile, seafaring Harao nomads set out in the other direction, settling far to the west along the coast of the northern mainland. The hazardous journey proves worthwhile, as a great bleeding pestilence breaks out on the Sollo islands not long after. Fear of the disease is worse of all, devastating for the old centres of trade and pilgrimage. Another problem is growing piracy in the sea straights, the Harao failing to deal with corruption and outright violence among their trading clans.

The Hulukap are galvanised under a new dynasty, determined to strike down the emerging kingdom of the Holuc before, as the omens fortell, it becomes to powerful to stop. To counter the legendary ferociousness of the enemy, the Hulukap recruit hordes of new warriors, and also attempt to bribe tribal rivals of the Holuc; these efforts fall apart with the arrival of rival Hubrian and Agrian shamans and their retinues. The Hulukap also bring along their own shamans to inspire their troops. Thus the war in the Zakat is one of ambushes, blood-cults, betrayals, disease, superstition, curses and confusion, with the Holuc warbands not afraid to fight with each other even when greatly outnumbered by nearby enemies. Despite an early conquest and enslavement of the first great Holuc city, the Hulukap lose many men in successive campaigns and still cannot pacify the jungles of Zakat, as the Holuc warriors move between small jungle hold-outs supported by a nomadic population. Interestingly, Hulukap nobles begin to arm themselves with bronze blades, though these are still more ceremonial than functional; serious bronze working begins with special metal fittings for the Harao ships, and following the trade routes it spreads to the mainland before their fellow Agrian islanders take it up. The Hulukap rulers also begin to record their numerous campaigns and noble deeds using a mutation of Harao script.

Meanwhile the temples established by Agrian elementalists in Maltik are looted by Hulukap warriors. Evidently the divine forces show their displeasure by allowing the pestilence of the Sollo islands to spread to the Hulukap homeland, raising fears of uprisings by desperate slaves who are now almost as numerous as the free urban population. At least the northern borders of the Hulukap seem safe, as regular tribute is recieved from the Chwinqua, but a new alliance of tribes known as the Onaqui do make their presence known in the land of Lani.

NOTES:

On the map, faction names written like ~this~ are the NPC's.

I'm writing about events from now on. I will not go looking for excuses to mention everyone's factions. If you didn't do anything interesting, I apologise you at least have your map and stats updated

About debts: you don't need to repay them specifically. If you end the last turn with a negative treasury (after taking spending into account), there might be some 'debt effects' as another expense, reducing your overall income next turn (one possible side effect of overspending). Then you get your income added, and most likely are no longer in debt. So you are not actually in debt at the start of a turn, unless your 'Available Funds' are still negative after all your income is added. If that makes sense...

@Shadowbound you can switch to Gattra if you would wish this.

@Thlayli when I realised that the net exchange of 'e' between you and the Tharnites was 0 this turn, I took it that your 'gift' had no effect, other than not putting pressure on them for money. IE its not a gift if you are asking for money and then handing it back to them

@Ninja Dude you should've had some inventions listed in the stats, dunno what happened there, apparently I forgot all about that. I have added them now. Sorry if you wanted chariots or etc, you could've had those already.

@Immaculate, dhows are pretty sophisticated ships as I understand it, so you have precursor ships for now. Hope that's OK. There can be gradual improvements in sail design and metal fittings and etc.

@Anonymoose I didn't follow your orders exactly due to overcrowding issues... Turns out the nomads were settling down anyway, and I rolled free population growth in the east.

@Disenfrancised I forgot that I don't want resource icons to be totally without workers at any time (kinda helps to identify them on the map). So those 'level 1' workers couldn't be disbanded, and I thought you'd want to keep your old monument/temple/shrine in Enka. Since I didn't explain this, I didn't penalise you for lacking extra 'e' for the migrations etc.

@Kraznaya the dice/omens said 'maybe' for horseback riding for your dudes, but I couldn't allow it because you specifically asked for it and it would break the idea of inventions being out of player's control! You have however earned some secret awesomeness points for your story.

[Lord_Iggy]

Great update Daft!

 

[Abaddon]

Hmm, thats hardly successful. I failed to kill any of iggys units and lost several myself..You missed out pillaging the Agrian temple?

 

[Thlayli]

Epic update! Still reading.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

You did destroy my only city, and I have no intact units, and only 0.5 available spending.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Hmm, thats hardly successful. I failed to kill any of iggys units and lost several myself..You missed out pillaging the Agrian temple?

I did miss that, apologies! I've just ninja retrofitted it into the update and map and stats.

Lord_Iggy's dudes are hardcore, I think that went not too bad, note the slaves you took from them while destroying their city and added to your homeland over thar.

Oh I forgot to mention the bronze working...

 

[Abaddon]

(in jest) You offered me Iron working instead of the Wheel via PM.. what happened?

Sleep deprivation?


Iggy// Holuc

It is true what the omens warned us. Your men are both fierce and strong warriors. We respect them, but it must be stated that your tribe has now been crippled by my forces. We are willing to resist extinguishing your tribe, and take you as a protectorate of the Great Hulukap. All we ask in return is that you will field your great warriors if we request it.


[As a protectorate you will also gift us 1E/pt once your economy gets back on track, thinking 3e spending?]

 

[Daftpanzer]

@Abaddon you have bronze working and deal with, ingrate
