DaftNESIV: The Prophecy

[Lord_Iggy]

Alas, it seems that they were all taken while I was in class. I'll be around!

 

[Thlayli]

Confirming my interest in Azure.

In homage to a previous (somewhat similar but much less awesome) DaftNES, I am going to name my tribe Shahan.

Shahanar - The Lion People

Spoiler First Turn Orders :

Female Unit uses our Hut to produce Tools.
Male Unit attempts to Domesticate the Goat.

These tools if possible can be used to aid in the domestication efforts of our males. A dynamic is being created where the women maintain the living space and produce items, while the men use these items. We will see how this dynamic evolves.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Thanks!!!

@Iggy, 'Orange Earth' tribe is unclaimed at this time if you want. I believe Charles Li mentioned that in his story while he is going to play Jade Tiger (right?).

You are all welcome to rename the tribes (like Thlayli did) and give names to the territories that you find.

Thlayli's orders are great if you wish to spy on them, otherwise here are some examples:

EXAMPLE ORDERS FOR TURN 1

Spoiler :

Example
I don't like the start location. Everyone is going to head west, looking for some nice temperate forest. We will do some hunting along the way, of the least dangerous animals we can find!

Example
One of my units will fish on the shore. The other will build a boat on and, if possible, head out to sea to begin fishing and exploring.

Example
One unit will attempt to cultivate the crops we see growing wild along the river. The other will stay in the hut and make cultural artefacts, sacred icons of our favourite deity. All bless the fertility goddess Eses, we should have many new children soon.

Example
One unit will stay in the hut and make tools that can help with digging and monument building. The other will investigate the giant bird creatures and see if we can tame them.

Example
One unit will stay in the hut, making weapons - bows. The other will most east already and attempt to settle a hut in the forest there.

Example
One unit will stay in the hut, making weapons - stone axes (Note: there is going to be some cross-over between tools and weapons!). The other will attempt to hunt the giant bears, because we are awesome like that!

 

[Milarqui]

I thought I had claimed the Orange Earth Tribe already...

They shall be named the Tartesian Tribe!

Tartesianos - The People of the Lynx

Spoiler Orders for the Tartesian Tribe :

The female will stay in the hut and build Tools so that they can be used in the future.
The male will try to Domesticate the Purple Chocobo (honest, it is the best name I could apply to it), to ensure that it can be used as a food source and, if it is big enough, as an animal that can be used to transport people or things at a faster pace.
Hopefully, these two things will allow for a rapid growth of our people and expansion into other places.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Hmm... Shall the Orange Earth tribe be divided between two archrival chiefs?

 

[Kraznaya]

Please change the name of my polity to

茉莉花革命

Spoiler :

or if you can't render chinese, Mòlìhuā Gémìng

Spoiler orders :

Have the female attempt to cultivate the long grass thing in the north of our region for agriculture. Have the male attempt to domesticate the brown antlered animal to our west.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Sorry Milarqui I had a brain failure there. Didn't mean to exclude you!! Just so you know, they are supposed to be 'native american' ethnicity, along with the Fuschia Cloud tribe, but I'm not going to force you to make an Aztec / Mayan / Inca culture

Iggy just for you I could add a new tribe, if you have any ideas? Maybe an Ugric root? So far we have approximates for starting ethnic groups:

West Celtic
Germanic
Italic / Greek
Aramaic
Egyptian
Central African
Indian
Khmer
Polynesian
Chinese
Mongol/Turkic
North Native American
South Native American

I wanted to keep them very generic so it will be fun to see how they mix and merge into new groups.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I'll take anything you throw at me.

 

[BananaLee]

Would I be able to switch to Malaysian/Hawaiian figurines? (No idea how that would look like- noting I'm Malaysian and we're nothing like the Hawaiians )

Anyway, I would like to change my tribe name to the Coxaca. Orders as below

Spoiler :

• Cultivate the palm tree
• Domesticate the rhino
• Make lots of sweet love in between to increase my people

 

[Daftpanzer]

OK Iggy, this is your start location, a somewhat sudanese/ethiopian ethnicity, and you'll have 2 people and 1 hut:

Ahh, pardon my ignorance on that!! I'm sorry but Red Fox is definately Africa. You need to go and breed with Charles Li and Masada

 

[Blaze Injun]

Hey,

I like the placeholder name.

The Fuschia Cloud Tribe Turn 1 Orders.

Spoiler :

Female unit will stay in the hut and make cultural artifacts, hand carved by beautiful red fingers, sacred icons to our storm & fertility Thunder Goddess-Mother Rain Akwee. "Let the dark clouds roll. Let the drops be heavy." Thunder Goddess-Mother Rain Akwee blessing of good luck for becoming pregnant.

Male unit will sneak west to the shore to hunt the Horned Seals for food and Ivory.

[Omega124]

Blue Woad orderds (To be renamed Blue Wood)

Spoiler Orders :

Our male unit is to explore the territory across the river. Female unit is to domesticate the sheep.

 

[merciary]

Olive Grove Orders

Spoiler :

The male is to domesticate the boar-like creature, while the female cultivates the nearby long grass.

 

[Masada]

Emerald Leaf shall become The Purple People Eaters.

Spoiler :

Being equal opportunity cannibals our women are going to fish, while our men are going to work on fishing as well! All this hot and heavy work will lead to loads of babies, who shall likewise be put to 'fishing' for men/women/fish when they come of age. If we had a symbol, or were given to introspection, we would totally adopt a rabbit, assuming of course that we know what a rabbit is like. Mostly because breeding is good and rabbits are good at breeding. I suppose Green Chocobo, if they breed quick, might become our proverbial rabbit. Alternatively, we have chimps, snakes and crocodiles to work with...?

Malaysian / Hawaiian

wrong terms. use malay and polynesian please. mostly because malaysian refers to an inhabitant of malaysia, a country, while malay refers to a people, who stretch from the malagasy in madagascar to dudes in west papua. and hawaiian is objectively the worst polynesian language and as such should be rooted out, hunted down and destroyed. maori4lyfe.

 

[alex994]

Nooo i missed out

 

[Luckymoose]

Crimson Star Orders

Spoiler :

The male is to cultivate the berry look plants while the female cultivates the tall grass.

 

[Daftpanzer]

@alex in recognition of your services to DaftNES2 and other NESes, I can fit you in someplace! What kind of tribe would you like to play as??

Emerald Leaf shall become The Purple People Eaters.

Apologies again for my gross ignorance! I should do my reading on this.

 

[Matt0088]

Its great that Iggy and Alex can join.

Golden Falcon - Generation 0

Spoiler :

1.) One unit will Cultivate whatever crops of interest are found on the riverbanks of the Golden River (to the west).
2.) One unit will fish in the bountiful inner sea, and swim with dolphins.

Most importantly, acquire Gold face paint. This supersedes all other directives.

 

[Thlayli]

Blue Woad > Blue Wood.

Omega, look up woad and its usages, you might find them stimulating.

Cannot overstate my excitement for this endeavor.
