I'm fine with starting fresh. I can probably rope some people together.

Either way, we should create an IRC channel or similar for strategy and alliance discussion next go 'round.

Celios, the Flame of Enlightenment

The trickster god responds in a voice from an illusory flame: "You offer a risky wager, Lifegiver, but I am prepared to accept. And either way we shall both drink deep of the chaos in the Northern Continent."

Power Roll: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 2, 2, 1) = 17 + 157 religion + 1 last turn + 35 First = 210 Power

Science: 57 (19 volcanic settlements) + 12 last turn = 69

NB. since I screwed up population counts last turn I definitely had less than 24 science remaining. The number was definitely more than 12 but I figured I'd deduct 12 from myself for screwing up and also so I don't have to actually recalculate last turn.

The Wayfarers continue their maritime hunting expeditions, and the ranks of their armies swell and move towards their expanding borders. The desiccation and corruption of the land has slowed, for now, but who can say when the fiery trickster god will grow tired of these strange new wetlands his people have claimed? Perhaps the entire western continent will be a fiery waste ere the age is through.

yes he should.

It is unclear whether this is the continued work of Celios, or simply the result of the dynamo he has set in motion, but the lands of the Western Continent, once relatively verdant and peaceful, continue to dry up at an alarming rate. Magma flow is common, and the toxic fumes of so much molten rock spread across the Wayfarers' lands, polluting the plantlife--those that do not wither and die twist and become strange new mutations.

The Wayfarers themselves continue to spread throughout the land in their endless quest for novel experiences--they evidently find a satisfactory outlet in the crafting of illusions to deceive their foes. Armies they encounter on the field often find that they are fighting apparitions rather than creatures of flesh and bone: the Ghosts of the Western Continent.

The Settler in question was basically Archduke Ferdinand.

The Wayfarers, having achieved their conquest, begin crafting clever illusions to misdirect the destruction hostile gods might rain down upon their volcanic cities. Meanwhile, a large hunting party moves its way to the south, and Celios sends an emissary to Grotar.

"Earth-shaker! We are sending an expedition to hunt the beasts that prowl the open seas. In exchange for your non-interference, I have tamed the wild lands in your westernmost settlement."

Even as the messenger speaks, the jungles dry up and become less wild--and a nearby jungle is sunk into the ocean, all the better for the Wayfarer fleet to embark into the great blue oceans to the south.

The Wayfarers continue their march upon the Warlord's lands. Celios awakens volcanoes in the newly taken lands, rendering much of the Western Continent a wasteland. He sends illusions to the other gods, taking the form of fine, fast ships bearing a message:

"I have claimed the Western Continent as my own, and my Wayfarers shall learn to be content in the bounty it has to offer--for I shall offer no war to any god who does not encroach upon my domain."

I think it means you pay the base cost (6, in this case), plus the number of worshipers.

It's in the latest post in the Gameplay thread.

I'ma take the Nature domain.

The Wayfarers surge forward from their northern front; their god builds ephemeral roads in front of them to speed their journey towards their warlike foe; these roads vanish behind the armies, eager to test their mettle against a new foe.

Just as his armies arrive, Celios sends confusion amongst the Minoans, causing some of them to destroy one another--and so his warriors rejoice in the cleverness of their god as they taste battle once more.

Also I don't think you can capture a settlement unless your army is there at the end of the turn?

The wording on the charge/counterattack rules is exceedingly poor, but here's how I'm reading them:

You may only use Counter-Attack if your army hasn't already moved (or, presumably, if you use Inspire Army on it). It's meant as a defensive maneuver, so it probably doesn't apply here. The Charge miracle is essentially a souped-up Counter-Attack, which I'm assuming means it's still meant primarily defensively. I don't think either grants movement without the use of an Inspire Army miracle.

What Alos is saying is that you can't move through a square that has an army in it without using either Charge or Counterattack. I think your armies moved through A6, which has 5 of my armies in it. You should be able to change your move so you go through C6 instead; none of my settlements between there and B10 are occupied. The distance would be the same, but you wouldn't be bypassing one of my armies.

I think more importantly, you aren't applying the distance cost for miracles at range--you're supposed to add 1 to the cost for each tile between your nearest settlement and the target tile (unless you have Wizardry; your move is probably a prime example of what the Wizardry domain is good for). This is added before you halve the cost.

I forgot to add a Settler to my turn summary. He is at B6 and he is very lonely.

I suppose I will add +2 to my Remaining Power score, then.

The Wayfarers, pleased with their new fleet, continue to advance their maritime ways. Their fleets set sail and assault a group of warriors from the Riptide Confederacy. Many of the enemy are lured to their destruction by trickery sent from the fickle god Celios, but others meet the amassed strength of the Wayfarers.

A small grassfire brings a reply to the Grasvolk: "Lifebringer! Celios, who forges knowledge from fire, desires no war with your people. So let the people of the grass and the people of the flaming waste exist in peace for these three cycles: may you see through new eyes every day until the world's passing."

I was just saying to myself on the last turn "Mogar should build little island settlements all over the map." Nicely done.

Secure in their new victory, the Wayfarers send their armies to reinforce their borders, wary of attack from their neighbors. Yet even as they move, they notice that the waters are already filled with strange new life. Fearing what the oceans may hide, the Wayfarers quickly set to work building mighty seafaring ships, and send an expeditionary force out to cleanse the waters of these new threats.

Meanwhile, in the north, the fiery Celios rends the lands asunder and raises up new volcanoes, creating new shelters for his people in the terrains like those of their lost homes.

You forgot to lower the terrain at B7. It should be hills currently; I'm treating it as such below. I also shouldn't have armies at A8 or B8.

Even as the Wayfarers leave the settlement they have just conquered, the ground becomes cracked and pitted, and much of the indigenous flora and fauna are lost forever. With each battle it seems the Wayfarers learn new techniques. Their armor grows stronger, their blades sharpen, and still they progress.

Elsewhere, their fiery trickster god awakens a long-dead volcano, and the Wayfarers begin to station armies to protect the vast volcanic hellscape that is their homeland.

A lone Wayfarer messenger, concealed by illusions by his god, makes his way to the camps of the Minoans, where his presence is revealed. "If your people come no further south than they have already reached, we shall go no further north; there is world enough for both of us to explore."

The Wayfarers quickly find a taste for war, cutting through centaur and thunderbird alike. They learn quickly from their battles, donning new weapons and protective gear to make them harder to kill--and to make their enemies quicker to fall. And even as they turn their eyes to the north, where new enemies await in the barren mountains, their god shifts the earth beneath the feet of their foes, lowering the defensible positions those mountains once provided.

The Wayfarers continue to fill the surrounding lands, moving to quickly fill the forests that surround their volcanic homeland. The armies continue to march on the forces that surround them. Celios sends a sign of his favor by tricking the Centaur Scouts with an illusion, destroying a third of their armies.

The great comet leading towards the Axis Mundi stirs the wanderlust their fickle god planted in their hearts--surely an ever-changeable home would finally sate their constant need to feel new things?

Background:

Celios is a trickster god, the patron of a people who simply call themselves the Wayfarers. Prior to his arrival, they were a reclusive and isolated people, who lived lives dedicated entirely to research. Celios taught them that there are secrets hidden throughout the world, and that true enlightenment can only come by experiencing the world directly. So his people set to wandering.

Or rather, he set them to wandering by changing their nature: the people he found were intensely reclusive, content to hide themselves away and ignore the outside world. So he changed them so that they became what some consider almost parasitic beings: they need the constant new sensation of travel and interaction with outsiders in order to experience anything at all. They deny this necessity, of course, but their curiosity is not just a cultural feature, but a powerful need built into the very fiber of their beings.
