The name of this has been changed, my sleep deprived brain did not realize it was an april fool's joke ;-;

In other news, I suppose if we're legit gonna try to do this, we should start figuring out stuff? I saw some rules earlier but its only basic stuff, I suppose my big question is how hard do we wanna keep it mechanics focused? are we ok with creative solutions like the rains on the mountains and the carving of the grassland to make a river? or is it gonna be more stern and only let you make a river tile/feature with that specific feature mechanic?

Main reason i did that is cause, well, i wouldn't have been able to make it otherwise, due to FP and domain issues. The idea being that i collaborated with Borr to kinda do a roundabout way of creating the river with creativity, since runoff from mountain rains is a big factor in irl creation of rivers. I like the idea of being able to collaborate and come up with creative solutions for issues like that, rather than me sitting there for 3 posts doing nothing then saying "i make a river here". But idk how these games are supposed to go, if they're more mechanics-enforced rather than creativity focused and whatnot lol.

I see, and what of the work that Yish'Tra and Borr did to make the river on the grassland tile? Is that possible at all in the way we did it? Since we aren't water gods we had to improvise, with the constant rains of that mountain tile pouring off into the grassland, I simply carve out the route in which the water will flow into the grassland to make a river on it?

Finburuu Ota, Deity of Waters arises from the core. They create a Coral Ocean, Warm Ocean, Cold Ocean, and Swift Current Oceans at F6, F5, F7, and E6/G6.

...are those special in any way, or are they just reskinned basic ocean tiles?

It's pretty hard to tell what people are actually doing when there's no concrete rules. It appears that you start with 5 FP, and that basic tiles are 2 FP, and special tiles are 3 FP, and that doing something within your domain gives a 1 FP discount?

I suggest we should probably hammer out a formal ruleset before actually trying to play.

I'm not sure lol, this is my first god game on this forum (I'm new, less than a week of being here) so i'm just copying what I see and apply it to my own domain. While also trying to experiment with what we can do (hence why I asked Borr to make it rain in one of his Mountains so that I could make a River in one of my Grasslands.

Yish'Tra would use their remaining 1 FP to modify the Grasslands of D4 into a River with the assistance from Borr's Raining Mountain to reduce the cost of such an endeavor.

Yish'Tra hopes with this action, a civilization will have everything it needs to begin in their lands.

1 of 1 FP used, 0 FP remaining
Yish'Tra is out of FP for now, but more could be gained through prayers of civilizations, otherwise, they will naturally regain 2 FP after 3 posts by other users (1/3 Posts)

Created Tiles
Grasslands: C4, C5, D5
Rivers: D4 (East to West)

OOC: If this isn't right holler at me! I'm new to the forums as a whole so I'm trying my best to learn.

Yish'Tra, The god/dess of Grain and Grasslands has awoken!

They see the work of Borr, and cast a large, verdant field of Grasslands to the West beside the Mountain range on C4, C5, D4, and D5. Hoping the efforts of both stone and grain can soon offer a cradle for civilization, though there is much work to do ahead of them.

Yish'Tra hopes for the cooperation of Borr to grow a potential Civilization together.

They also wonder out loud to Borr, if they were to make the Mountain's weather change to Rain, could the runoff cause a River to appear on their Grasslands to the West, providing clean water and potentially fish for a Civilization? It was hard for both of them to create Water landscapes after all, at least currently without a God for it, so they'd have to get creative.

4 of 5 FP used, 1FP remaining

Created Tiles
Grasslands: C4, C5, D4, D5

The best friends Tommelson and Dowers both are proud of themselves for the creation of their first ever rifle. With cheers hollering out in their small workshop amongst their workers when they try it out on the small test range they have behind the building. They had the brains to cut it in this market, they knew it, but Dowers would notice certain issues in their infancy. Small shavings of the delicate innards when sand or dirt got sprinkled in, the odd "stick" of the bolt when left to the elements for too long. While small here in the workshop, such things would be devistating in the field. A revision was needed to address these issues, damn the price. They had the workings of an amazing rifle, they knew it, they just needed to shake the bugs out of it. Meanwhile, while Dowers started to write up a revision to fix the issues, Tommelson worked out a bid for a contract. One that seemed perfect for their rifle with The United Triad of the Adriatic. The shop-workers start up the first ammo line to start producing shipments of 8x45mm Cartridges for the order.

Contract Bid

Contract: United Triad of the Adriatic #45
Bid: LSR-28
Offer: We may be new in the arms manufacturing business, but we can promise the bleeding edge of capability from our rifles. This weapon was designed for elite troops and it will only compound the lethality your elite corp while allowing them to easily traverse the rough terrain because of the lighter weight.

Chargers

With Lightning Blubber and Ichor together, a new idea is studied. The explosive electrically-detonated blubber was of great potential use in the war department. They just needed to figure out how to get an electrical charge to it safely and repetitively. Then came along the ICA, an ichor-using engine that could produce energy, and electrical arcs from said energy. Small miniaturized versions of these could make for the perfect activation system for detonating Blubber, throwing and potentially electrifying any projectile shot out of a barrel. It could be a revolution for ranged combat, able to sling projectiles faster than one can see with their own eyes.

Chargers are what all ICA-Blubber based weaponry would be named, due to the ICA "charging" the blubber with electricity to cause detonation and fire the projectile. Large artillery pieces using full scale ICAs are the easy part, but miniaturizing them for use in infantry-scale weapons may prove a challenge, but would be revolutionary.

Compared to older Whalelock Technology, instead of using a large amount of power to throw projectiles along a length of Orichalcum rail, it uses but a simple spark of electricity to detonate a Lightning Blubber cartridge and send the projectile flying at near the same speeds. Reducing time to reload and fire, barrel length, weight, and materials used while also allowing for an actual magazine of Lightning Blubber Cartridges and the potential to electrify the shell/bullet. They can also scale all the way from large artillery pieces to smaller rifle-like weaponry easier than Whalelocks due to the miniturization of the ICA, and therefore LBCs (Lightning Blubber Cartidges). It could potentially even make magazine-fed cannons and mortars possible.

Company Name: Tommelson-Dowers' Machined Weapons Producer (TD-MWP)
Market Share: $0
Cash: $150
Weapon Designs: None

Production Line #1: None
Ammo Press #1: None

Warehouse: 1 Occassio Company Charter – TD-WMP

ACTACTACT: Gun Design

Tommelson-Dowers' Machined Weapons Producer (TD-MWP)
Name: Light Scout's Rifle, Model 1928 (LSR-28)
Type: Straight-Pull Bolt-Action Rifle
Ammo: 8x45mm
The first rifle the two best friends, Tommelson and Dowers, ever designed. The LSR-28 is a rifle meant for mobile troops such as scouts or pathfinders who need to cut down on overall weight without sacrificing too much in the firepower department. It is 7.75lbs with a total length of 130cm , it features a notched-knob style rear sight that could be zeroed for 50m to 500m, with each turn of the zeroing knob being a 25 meter increment allowing for precise and accurate shots. It also comes with a 12rnd capacity internal magazine fed via two 6rnd stipper clips, its increased capacity partially thanks to slightly smaller caliber. TD-MWP went for the lighter caliber to calm both inner and external worries of a large caliber risking catastrophic and dangerous failures of the straight-pull bolt-action system they wish to implement.

New to the forums but was told games like these are neat, if y'all still got room for folks. Also, what all is possible for us to do, is it just simple "hunt, craft, cook" or are more things like trying to come up with new things (like slings or tools) possible? Starting off i'll do some simple stuff though.

Name: Cray Fisher
Appearance: Slightly longer than normal (a massive 32cm), with a purple-ish hued body.

Thing 1: Hunt for Fuel
Thing 2: Hunt for Fuel
Thing 3: Dry Meat
