EltNES: THIS World is Yours

[Terrance888]

@ General Olaf, thanks for getting that water for me! I got ninja'd by the constant Forum Blackouts yesterday.

2 for River to end in H7 with a large, spindy (Mississippi) delta spotted with lagoons, wetlands, and jungles.

Bank 4

 

[Gem Hound]

Thanks TerrisH. I have over 15 turns left up there just by myself before putting resources in.

 

[Boundless]

J3, K5, L5, L6 and K7 WATER.

Bank 2

 

[Eltain]

TerrisH: I'm gonna say gold will just be considered metal. Aluminum and coal and the like will have entirely different costs if someone were to create them.

GemHound: I'm sorry, no the dice gods dictate everything to me.

General Olaf: Applause, sir.

Terrance: Of course, sir.

Boundless: I would not mind it if you were to list your points with your orders.

 

[merciary]

Orders:
More water, most of G-7 should be Ocean (4 points)
Bank 2

 

[Eltain]

merciary: I would appreciate how many points you have to be posted with your spending, please. It is a time saver and a conveinience for me.

 

[merciary]

Sorry I thought posting the amount spent and the amount banked would cover it.

 

[Optical]

@Terrance: No problem!

 

[Moldath]

22 points initial:

2 points: Fish C1
12 points: Water, extend coastline from C8, NNW to A7, fill water westward from there, as far as the bucket will allow

8 points: final

 

[nutranurse]

hahaha, wow Eltain. You've outdone yourself with this one!

 

[Eltain]

nutranurse: 10 points. Thank you. It wasn't me though, it was my fans players! [/obligatory thanks]

 

[Eltain]

For the record, points from this era cannot be carried over into the next. (The civilization era)


14 points:

3 points: Hills in B9
1 point: Cold climate in J4-I5 mountains.
10 points: Bank.

 

[Boundless]

Are we getting towards the end of this stage? How many more updates?

 

[Eltain]

It says on the front page, in the rules.

We working towards 7/10 just now.

 

[Boundless]

Well it did say "more or less" was wondering if that had changed. No worries!

Update I:VII​

Link to ze map

Spoiler :

A7-B9 - Did the coast dictate the hills, or the hills dictate the coast? A truly philosophical question. Neither, the Dinner Plates of the Titans at the center of the world shaped both.

G7-H9 - An area that is shaping up to be an inland ocean has formed with the assistance of one of the windingest (it's a word) rivers in the world, promising great things in the very near future.

J3-L7: A massive, uncooperative coast has seized the southern world by the metaphorical horns, causing a cold wind to blow on the mountains therein.

Spoiler OOC :

Mod's Choice:

+1 Terrance888
+1 Moldath

Totals: (Includes the above additions.)

26 points: Lord of Elves (no orders 2)
15 points: Moldath
12 points: Terrance888
9 points: Boundless
8 points: TerrisH
7 points: General Olaf
6 points: merciary
6 points: Gem Hound
14 points: Eltain

OOCs

1: I am thinking of locking geological events during the civilization era, and making the map a whole lot prettier (while keeping everyone's additions). What are thoughts on that?

2: Do people have ideas for civilizations they are going to nurture? All events are player controlled (that includes me to my minor extent obviously) and I am not asking for much in the way of describing your people or civilizations (though that always helps).

3: Anyone who can name/guess (and subsequently publisize) my favorite part of the civilization era rules gets 2 extra points this coming turn. SALUTE!

Next update Saturday

 

[nutranurse]

Turn 8

Like tiny, glistening pimples hills rise in the central region of F10. (Invest 9 points). One of these pustulant hills bursts open and a small, lazy river flows south-west into the nearby sea (Invest 1 point).

Overview
9 Points: Hills in F10
1 Point: River heading south-west in F10


OOC: That what you're looking for?

 

[TerrisH]

bank.
one more turn and I'll have enough.

 

[merciary]

Total 6 points
Ocean in I-8 with a small bit of coast to round off the continent, 4 points
Bank 2

OOC:
I'm fine with you cutting of geological functions in the Civ era. Also I do have a few ideas bouncing around about the nations I want.

 

[nutranurse]

ooc: Eltain, have you ever heard of the Aria Worlds role-playing system? It is a pretty great model for having players play anything from mythical epochs to petty kingdoms to intrepid adventurers. I can PM you more info about it if you would like.
