For now though, I would just like to say (OOC) thank you for welcoming me to the game and the forums! I hope to see all of you in the future, and cannot wait for you all to try to invade my jungles of doom.

Orders Sent.

[Nivyi]

@Justokres will I have to add that to my orders?

 

[justokre]

@Justokres will I have to add that to my orders?

You have stats, econ point spending, and military plans in your orders already. You're good to go, mate! The unique unit bit was only if you want a unique unit.

 

[justokre]

I have written about ten paragraphs of the update. Looking forward to the rest of your orders!

A quick question: How many soldiers can fit onto a war canoe?

 

[Terrance888]

Welp. Better send orders real quick!

1EP-Pay off neighbors to not attack me
1EP-Pay off my people to not rebel

A quick question: How many soldiers can fit onto a war canoe?

Hm, I wasn't sure myself. I was thinking you might need to build transports... We could also just say each war canoe can hold 40 soldiers. So in order to transport 1000 soldiers, you need 25 canoes.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

EDIT: Moreover, Wikipedia says the average bireme could carry 120 rowers. So I will say that 100 infantry per bireme. 10 biremes transports 1k soldiers. If everyone agrees, I'll add it to the rules.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

We will not accept a gratuitously unfair exchange- let us make an even trade, or none at all. I, Charipit of Kichatra, shall travel to Saaruka and build you ships. In exchange, you shall dispatch a strong warrior and mentor to teach our own people in the ways of war. This exchange shall take place under oath, overseen by the Khatakanti of Kichatra on our side, and by your own Khatakanti, or whoever possesses similar importance in Saaruka.

We still await your answer, Men of Saaruk.

 

[Lord of Elves]

@justokre, I support that plan and things.

 

[justokre]

Already replied, Ig.

OOC: I really want to say "whatever floats your boat".


To: The Boatmen of Chakarra
From: The Strongmen of the Saaruks
That is most assuredly a threat. And you'd do well to take it seriously, unless you plan on sailing away in shame and defeat.

 

[Terrance888]

What Iggy quoted was meant to reply to that reply, I replied to Justokre. Iggy wishes to know if you can reply to the quoted reply to the reply.

Oh shucks, I'm sorry about that.

There is no response from the Strongest Tribe of Saaruka.

 

[justokre]

Terrance888, your writing style is both interesting and taxing to read. Like a book from over 70 years ago.

Spoiler Hiukuni Palatial Architecture :

A reconstruction of the last fully wood architecture palace in the capital of Tach. Typical early bronze-age architecture in the region was built on raised earthen platforms, with arched roofs of woven wattle and daub, supported by large wooden beams. The palace itself was sited on a rock outcropping overlooking the city itself, though, as one can see here, it was itself overlooked by the sacrificial altar, built on one of the highest mountains in the vicinity.

The entrances were usually flanked by carved wooden columns – for the main palace, in the classic falcon motif of Chuchi's dynasty. The empresses' own home would be built off to the side, separated by a sacred stream.

Spoiler Hiukuni Petroglyph :

In the centuries prior to the invention of writing, Hiukuni monarchs were given few ways to record their achievements for future generations. Many turned to what were, for the time, elaborate wooden panelings, often painted with bright colors; these tended to decorate the palatial residences of the Emperors, and of their wealthiest subjects.

In later centuries, though, little of that would survive the passage of time. Instead, we are left with a few solitary wooden fragments, and a singular petroglyph, carved into one of the extremely dry northern faces of the Chuma Mountains, facing the desert. Almost undoubtedly ordered to be carved by the Emperor Achiuka,[1] they depict the entrance of subjects into the Hiukuni lands, bowing to the emperor, and offering what appears to be an exotic plant from the north in tribute.

The invention of inscriptions a short time later would render the older monumental art forms obsolete; this single piece of art offers us an extremely skewed version of what Hiukuni art of the time looked like.

[1]Though not immediately evident, one can see that the imperial figure is surrounded by three birds. The falcon was the traditional symbol of the dynasty begun by Chuchi; the three surrounding him are representative of Chuchi himself, his son Michiuna, and his grandson Tarku – thus making the seated figure Achiuka, his great-grandson. Achiuka's long hair shows the tradition of braiding an emperor's hair goes back considerably further than anticipated – it would set apart the ruler from his subjects, who typically wore their hair short.

Great stuff, NK!

NK, you up to creating a musicology for our terrain?

At some point. Orders first.

 

[justokre]

Musicology? This excites me.
