Greetings, all.
This is a thread for creating persistent posts related to my new, as yet untitled, project. It has been quite a while since I've used CFC, and for the most part, the this NES will functionally be off-forum (mostly in the NESer Discord and Google Docs). But the forum is useful for organizing notes chronologically in a way the other systems are not.
What is this?
In NESer parlance, it is a "fresh start" -- i.e. it is a game that takes place on a non-Earth planet that attempts to retell the story of human history. In this case, it begins in this world's equivalent of the late Pleistocene, the equivalent of 20,000 years BP, at the Last Glacial Maximum.
Hi! This is interesting, can I participate?
Yes! Mostly, things are being held on the NESer Discord. PM me or someone else (Iggy, Jehoshua, or Thlayli are good bets) for an invite (invitations to Discord are not persistent). This is not intended to exclude anyone who is more of a forum user -- I just want to keep orders, etc., in one place so I can see.
You already have players and a pretty full map! Can I still join? Should I wait?
The philosophy in Phase One (see the rules below) is generally closer to an NESlife than a conventional NES -- that is to say, most cultures will evolve or vanish every turn, and "ownership" of cultures is defined a little more loosely. So you are free to "evolve" from another player's culture, even if they are already doing it.
Here follow the rules, indices, and the update log.
Rules:
In this Google Doc. More specific rules are going to be added over time.
Indices:
You can find stats here. Extant culture descriptions can be found there.
You can find many maps in the public game folder.
To minimize redundancy, I will not be reposting versions of (most of) these in the thread.
Update Log:
Phase One (Origins) - Turns are c. 2-5,000 years in length. Cultures are Upper Paleolithic in technology/culture.
Update One ("The Song")
Update Two (scheduled for c. March 14th)
Current (update 1) map
