Cryptic warriors from beyond, the ⫷Ͷbyn⫸ barbarians speak no comprehensible tongue. It is unclear what if anything lies beyond the horned plate armor they are all seen to wear, which is made from unusually hard ice. It is said that the race one day crawled out of a huge circular pit at the north pole and ever since have walked the land as if in search for something.

Name: Yeerk

Color: GREEN

Traits: TRANS-DIMENSIONAL, SORCERERS, BUILDERS

Territory: #20

Description: The Yeerk are a species of parasitic green slugs from another dimension. They were created by a mad god in a attempt to win over his rival, unbeknownst to the Yeerks, of course.

The Yeerks were very weak and only TRANS-DIMENSIONAL thus, they took over the unsuspecting bodies of the dominant species of that dimension who were very talented SORCERERS and BUILDERS.

Eventually, the dimension they were on ran out of resources and they had to move here.

The Yeerks host’s body looks like a standard human, albeit with a green coloring and abnormally hard skin to protect the soft Yeerk inside.



(I love me some animorph, *shrug)

This might be a bit much, but could I get a parasitic trait? It doesn’t have to do anything, I just want it for fluff reasons.)

The Yeerks send a signal of agreement to the Aquavole’s proposal.

They continue the rest of their plan sneakily though communication with the Overdeity Haspen.

The Kanomaki Principality

The request from the confederacy across the waves would be accepted. Trade would be useful for all parties involved and it gave a good source of income from the Raki, spice that the Kanomaki had.

Other than this, things out of the principality are surprisingly quiet...The Kotiva-Zantic remain silent about their plans, as do the Vinarila caste.

I think that if you did it first, you just have it. Because realistically, if someone brought their troops and colonized a land, someone coming 4 hours later and saying they own it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

How about when you chose to colonize you can optionally also make an attack? If neither colonize-in-force, then neither get it, otherwise it's a standard fight. Taking into account various fight modifiers as well.

⫷Ͷbyn⫸

looks nervously at aquavole blob gating into my half of the board.

I would suggest that we take down the dragon together, but there's not much reason for us to do so. Only one can have the artifact and the land itself isn't very valuable, so splitting it so that one of us gets the artifact and the other gets the land isn't very even. And while the dragon will get stronger over time it'll never really give us trouble if we just leave it alone.

L, it might be because of their combination of traits, but you might want to make the game more difficult. The trait that gives extra provinces is incredibly underpriced as with anything other then the worst luck, it gives the user a insane amount of resources and puts them way above the competition, along with the ability to easily conquer new lands.


That, combined with the extra dimensional trait practically guarantees a heroic win. At the very least, I would recommend that they be too expensive to purchase together in the interest of fairness.

Ooof, yeah I was worried about the Artifact win, but there wasn't much I could do about it. I was quite pleased with how close I got to the Economic win though.

It feels like the Artifact placement was rather fortunate for ⫷Ͷbyn⫸ as well, I think there were only two in the Southern Hemisphere iirc.

The trait that gives extra provinces is incredibly underpriced as with anything other then the worst luck, it gives the user a insane amount of resources and puts them way above the competition, along with the ability to easily conquer new lands.


That, combined with the extra dimensional trait practically guarantees a heroic win. At the very least, I would recommend that they be too expensive to purchase together in the interest of fairness.

That's why T-D now gives Farsight for free rather than insta-knowledge, and there's now 6 out of 9 artifacts (66.6%) rather than 4 out of 7 artifacts (57.1%) requirement for Heroic Win.

ASCENDANT now gives 10-5-5 provinces instead of 15-5-5.

All up there in Changelog :P

Ooof, yeah I was worried about the Artifact win, but there wasn't much I could do about it. I was quite pleased with how close I got to the Economic win though.

It feels like the Artifact placement was rather fortunate for ⫷Ͷbyn⫸ as well, I think there were only two in the Southern Hemisphere iirc.

Yeah, that and the fact nobody appeared in topleft; just one player there would seriously slash Egan's chances to grab the Sword and the Horn (and probably claim the Trowel before you while they're at it)

If I'd decided to roleplay less and attack ⫷Ͷbyn⫸ a few turns ago, I'm not sure how much effect that would have had. I could've chased a retreating faction across the map as they still collected the Artifacts. Perhaps a way to take the Artifacts aside from total annihilation is needed?

Ooh. What if you require a Temple per artifact to keep the safe? If you lose a territory and have more Artifacts than Temples, one is captured?

It didn't have to be this way, Kashyyk.

By the way, I guess you didn't realize this after the last Warring States, so, just so you know, you always lose a war of attrition (ie, province swapping) against an opponent who pillages for less than you, because your provinces will hit 0 first. It's basically a prophecy of doom from the start.

So flazeo25, how about a treaty?

Other than that, 1 to conquer #13, 1 to conquer #14, 1 to conquer #15, 1 to conquer #32, 8 to conquer #23, 8 to conquer #19.

Honestly, I feel like, regardless of the victory conditions, I deserve at least a silver medal for winning those two wars.

I haven't thought of any new mechanics or thingies but I'm slowly tinkering with a concept of 'inventions', permament bonuses to your bonuses that can be bought by spending enough Resources on them, with the cost scaling or stacking. Plus I wanna make the Sea somewhat more interesting so maybe offshore colonization with secret spices and jewels to be found? Who knows.
