Utatnaphor, The Wandering One's page

Oh, I'm still here. Its still a fun game, so far. I've just had RL issues that blindsided me and will be a problem for the foreseeable future.

Whooo... Okay, I guess I should have seen that coming. I didn't, so that's on me, but yeah, I didn't see Celios as another GMPC until now.

Hindsight, that should have been obvious. Sorry, Iaz, you were right.

And Warlord, dude, you were right too.

Still, with three of the remaining civs being GMPCs or near enough to them, this is going to be a slog to finish. Good luck to you, Darjuu, and Iaz and Warlord, if you're still in this.

Ah. I just guessed since I was going last. I'll make it up next turn... and that other bonus that you gave me, that I'm just now remembering... drat, could have gotten another army out there.

Sorry about that. Forums ate my post once, and cut me off at the hour mark, so there's two post instead of one...

But I'm done now!

Arg! Cut me off

Fire swells up from the ground in the cities of the Sphinx, attacking the interlopers and burning them to ash. Armies are raised with surprising quickness, marching on the foul foe. Learning from the beatings their armies have taken, the Lords commission new, better armor for their troops, hoping to stem the tide of goblins.

Nitpicks, going over last turn:

I4 has a pop of 2 (3 after the Bounty). And... Huh. I thought there was something else, but ten minutes of review can't find it. Oh well.

Squeesed out another Advancement, so I'm happy now.

Okay, it was just, 10 armies out of nowhere??
And yes, I do have plans.

The Lords are shocked at the rising goblin horde! Never before had any settlement of the Prides come under attack. Their fervent pleas to their god are answered as the waves of soldiers pass over the ground like a swift breeze to meet their foes.

When the heck did Celios take J5???

Oh!

Dice did not like you, then?

Sorry!

Yeah, that was when I was attacking Mogar, though. Ah, well

Sneaky Grotar. Very sneaky.

Oh, good. Here I was thinking I may have messed up again and was missing on A LOT of power.

Okzy, quick question about another thing I may have messed up on.

Is it possible to reduce the [grow city] cost to 0 with agriculture bonuses?

RP:
The Lords turn their attention back to the land, leaving their armies to mop up the remaining water monsters near them. Fresh faced settlers make new cities, and their god blesses the land into more forgiving terrain. The Lords of the Prides dig deep into the lands, learning new, powerful ways to feed their peoples when their cities grow beyond normal means of feeding.

Whoops, my bad.

Forgot to put 4 army on H4 in my summary last turn. Its in the turn itself, just not the summary.

Edit: And another: H3 should have 5 pop. Think that's all.

Darkness sweeps the vision of the oracles. The Lords are not moved by it, but turn back to the land to learn more from the soil.

Map corrections: There should be no armies at I1, and 6 at J1. As well, J1 should have 5 population.

Edit: J3 Should have 5 pop, and K2 was changed by miracle to forest last round.

Ah, edited after I read it. Travel it is, since the other one I wanted is blocked.

To go from 2V to 0W is eight steps. To reduced the difficulty down to the minimum, you would need Survival +7, I think.

Weapons go against Armor, so if you have Weapons +4 and your opponent has Armor +9, you have a one in six chance of destroying his army.

I'm still kinda surprised no-one else has gone. Usually two or three of us post right away!

Yeah, I forgot the turn summary last turn... and this turn I forgot the colons. Eh, give and take.

Ah, I1 is Power used: 8; and Armies Created: 4
Since I grew I1 to 5 before I created the armies, it should be good, then? J3 is the same, it looks like.

The Lords of the Prides are stunned by the unexpected dissapearance of the Orizaba. The discovery of the Sea-Folk in their place only causes more confusion. Extremely wary of these creatures, the Prides ready for battle.

Updates, updates, updates. Good thing I can see this from work, or I'd have to wait til morning! ;)

Take your time, Alos.

Ah? Unfortunately, I find myself the one that will probably be affected most.

Hope Umbral feels better.

Few words are heard from the god of the Prides. The Lords grow wary of the silence to the east, and gird themselves against attack. Visions of strange folk elsewhere in the world warn them of what can happen to those unprepared for war.

Sorry for using you as an example, Iaz!

Ah, can do.

No combat at I2? Did the Centaur run away?

That was some pretty big fail for moving settlers. I hope my next turn isn't that bad.

Is it just me, or has Itzpapalotl not been posting? I haven't seen any turns by them since turn 2, I think.

Great. I'll just add that onto my remaining then. Have to do more plans later.

Um, so the speedy turn power boost is in effect now? Or next turn?

The Lords foresee troubles ahead, and spread the Prides far and wide, to the high volcano and the thick forests. The Oneiromancers show bad tidings in the future.

Emissaries to the Orizaba still await an answer.

Utatnaphor answers prayers unexpectedly, changing dense jungle to softer forest. Unfortunately, the Prides were not able to capitalize on the change quickly enough. The planned movements to be rid of the hoove'd strangers unfolds on schedule, and a new settlement is born in the barrens.

The Lords send to the Orizaba, "Take the sodden wetlands as you please, our paws cannot run in the swamps."

how many uses of the alter terrain miracle does it take to terraform a forest into a volcano?

The Prides are startled at the new creatures they encounter! Hunting groups that were set to attack the horse-creatures split and turn to defense, new groups forming to drive off the birds of sky's fury.

Guarded emissaries turn to the Orizaba. "We seek not war, but will defend our ranges. Travel no further west, and we shall range no further east"

As I understand it, more religion advancements, mean more Power at the beginning of your turn. For every settlement you have when you gather power, you multiply by the level of Religion you have, and add that to your Power Gathering roll.

The Prides are surprised and wary of the newcomers on the Barrens. They cautiously move forth, spreading further under prayers to their god. The new lands they claim aid them in learning to adapt.

I get the feeling I did something wrong up there, but for the life of me, can't figure out what...

Okay, so the difficulty is what you fail on, no what you have to roll. Got it.

So moving from 1S to 0B would mean rolling 2 or more on a d6. Going from 1S to 0S would mean I would have to roll a 1 on a d6... I really wouldn't relish a failure there...

Rules check: Moving a Army/Settler from no difficulty to a 2 difficult, requires a roll, correct?

Okay, thanks. I hope that won't stop me from planning my next moves, though? <grin>

Just to make sure, the map will not be updated until the end of turn right?
