Old Planet - AGE OF GODS (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169766.0)

Welcome to another cycle on the Old Planet.

If you are just joining us, you do not need to know what came before. At the end of every session in this Gods Game there is an extinction event, and very little carries over.

To those returning, game play will be very different mechanically. For one, it will be turns one player at a time. Second, all creations will take the form of 'cards', and the relationships between them will be more explicit.

He was powerful once...Revered. Feared. But now it was all gone. The First Mold of the world had happened.Now it was time to start anew. He spread his grat wins and let a few scales fall into the sea. From that, nutrient and delicious algae were born, . They would fill the bellies of his children one day. Then he took one of the algae ad trasormed it into a giant sea snail. Docile and slow, this creature defended itself from predators using powerful toxins.  He then breathed onto the world and glowing green crystals spread all over the place. They would provide the beuty that this world stil lacked.

Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: Glass on April 22, 2018, 09:35:34 pm
Ok.

I evolve some of the fruit trees in the N. hemisphere to lack fruits, but for their leaves to hold a good deal of nutrition, and be interchangeable with grass in terms of feeding on them; these are called Frond Trees. Then, I cause some of the grazers in that area to be able to have a diet of two different plants, not specifying which ones; these are known as Giraffes. Carnivores and Apex Predators can treat them as being equivalent to grazers for the purposes of their diets.

...my evolutions were not supposed to wholly remove the fruit trees and normal giraffes from the northern hemisphere?
I’m confused as to what happened...
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: RoseHeart on April 23, 2018, 10:20:51 pm
You wanted to leave some of the original specimens? Can't do that. I actually just need to keep things simple and that's just an easy way I can keep things from having too much stuff in different regions, evolution cards just convert all of the ones that are there to the new species. Simple as that.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: Glass on April 24, 2018, 05:38:59 am
Fair enough.

The grass wasn’t supposed to become trees, too, though.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: RoseHeart on April 24, 2018, 07:12:57 pm
Mechanically, that is the closest way I can get to what you ask for. But I will assume you want to revert them back that's fine.

You all(ORA used to recharge minisun) each have an anomaly card. I think you're all set for your turn but it may take me a bit before I come back and update this turn. Feel free to fill it out.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: Glass on April 24, 2018, 07:14:37 pm
Could we get two of each type of plant? The ability to eat any of the plants is kinda useless when there's only one type around.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: RoseHeart on April 24, 2018, 07:28:39 pm
That's what I meant, you were given three evolution cards this round. They do not contain the ability to give a life form an ability. They only tweak one stat.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: Glass on April 24, 2018, 07:30:08 pm
Oh.
Well, I didn't know how it worked. :/

Could you explain to me all the things I'm actually able to change? I'd like to retract my previous evolutions, also, as I don't actually know what I did.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: RoseHeart on April 24, 2018, 10:52:39 pm
You can change one need, but if it conflicts with another you will have to play another card to resolve that. You can change the threshold. You can add or subtract one need.

It's more subtle, but it applies to a whole stack(species) in a region.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: Glass on April 25, 2018, 05:50:59 am
Ok. Then instead of what I did, I want to do these in the northern hemisphere:
-Decrease the grazers' needs to 1 plant
-Increase the grazers' threshold by 1
-Decrease the carnivores' needs to 1 grazer

The grazers will now be called "efficient grazers", the carnivores will now be called "efficient hunters".
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: RoseHeart on April 25, 2018, 06:10:38 pm
They have specific needs. Specific plants or animals.
Title: Re: Old Planet
Post by: Glass on April 25, 2018, 06:19:33 pm

-Decrease the [efficient] grazers' needs to 1 grass

The Emerald Caterpillar awakens near the Equator. This massive insect incubated for untold aeons in the bowels of the world and it is now ready to begin its metamorphosis. It starts creating its massive cocoon, pulsating with divine power. This power has a strange effect on nearby lifeforms. Two of them, the glass termites and the local apex predator are enlightened. Their minds and bodies evolve, granting the termites a centaur-like form (but not a bigger size), while the apex predator settles for a more standard humanoid one. But the biggest changes are in their minds, now truly capable of forming complex toughts.

After a while the Emerald Butterfly emerges  from her cocoon, now an adult, an flies away, eager to explore the world she has helped shaping.

First one.

Let's just say that there was a famine/blight/etc., but the Treants, Grazerkin, and Foxxin figured out how to harness the Orange Sun to sustain themselves.
