Ok wow. I really don't feel like doing an update today... This might be the end of Gridhood: Bay12 edition.

Edit: I'm going to give KittyTac an opportunity to change their action. Copyrighted things are a huge no-no in this game. The attempt to make a cat-base or whatever just completely knocked the update wind out of me. Spent a bit of time trying to think of an elegant way to just decline it in an update post, but couldn't because copyright wasn't an official game rule until now.

Make it a cat that's used to deploy bases.

If you're not having fun, make it fun.  Or let it die.  No need to look for excuses.

Its not so much about it being unfun as it is about updating the game being tedious and gradually getting to be even more tedious. The only fix for that I can think of (aside from massively depopulating the world when the whole point of the game is populating the world) would be to get a co-host or something. Which I guess isn't completely out of the question.

On an unrelated note, if there are any fans of my work who are thinking of making a forum game but aren't necessarily interested in hosting something that uses my traditional ugly calculator grid format, I do have some other ideas based on some of my failed projects in the past and games I played in the past that died far too early.

Turn 48 - Agrarian Age



Spoiler: Tiles (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Artifacts (click to show/hide)
The game lives! Update speed is probably reduced though. So thats a bit of pessimism for the game's future.

Also, loyalty was implemented in an absolutely terrible way. All civilizations with loyalty values have been changed to reflect how it would be under the new methods. More loyalty loss for high growth in a single turn was a bad idea, I'm stopping that now. Base loyalty will now be -5% for each civilian above 10 before other modifiers. I think its better if this one isn't secret, but don't worry. There are other loyalty related secrets that are less bullshit.

For the sake of making game updates a bit smoother, construction on a tool can no longer begin unless you have enough resources to make the tool at the BEGINNING of the construction. It can still take place over several turns. All tools already in progress are grandfathered exceptions to this rule.

Oh, and double check things. If you noticed me deducting 15FP for what should have been a 10FP interactive tile, let me know and you could get a refund for that. I think I did that at least once.


Godly behaviors of particular note
Gilbert does not have the 13FP required to replace a special tile with an active volcano interactive tile. (The 5FP nitro-volcano variant was a dormant volcano).

Also worthy of note is that you CAN take more than one action on a single tile in a single turn. Thus you can replace with a regular tile (Type is irrelevant) and then replace with a special tile all in one turn. Bit more expensive though. This has also been used to change and protect a tile in one turn.

Snag could not interact with D11 because Gilbert still beat him to it. (Its cheating to intentionally "block" a tile with invalid actions, but I think 0cra_tr0per genuinely didn't realize the cost of what he wanted to do and I didn't think to correct him when I yelled at Felius. So... yeah. This is a fine mess here. I'm sure the smarter god will win in the end though.)

Err... Sorry about that Felius. You didn't do anything bad, I was just grumpy at the time. Just because I'm vetoing the cat base, doesn't mean that some other kind of cat can't go combat the Zebras in some way.

The Nirii Dominion
4 Nidos farm at C2 using wooden tools to collect 18 food
4 Nidos create Wood Woodcutting tools* using junk tools. This is surely the best item name yet.
2 Nidos harvest wood at D2 using junk woodcutting tools to collect 4 wood
5 Nidos research Farming Tools to complete the tech!
2 Nidos begin research on feasting. But food cannot be allocated to it because they didn't... Umm.. Research anything that would let them do such a thing.

Cultivating of Beans
3 Beaners farm at K1 to collect 7 food
3 Beaners farm at J1 using a junk tool to collect 9 food
1 Beaner prays to Blarg
1 Beaner researches Shamanism
2 Beaners research Swamp Herbology.

The Cultivating of Beans needs a food producing tile that they can make a farm on of special tier or greater. Thats not an actual thing they requested. The GM is just pointing out what I thought they should have asked Blarg for... Twenty or so turns ago?

Drecthul Commonwealth
4 Drecs farm at B7 using stone farming tools to collect 23 food
6 Drecs begin construction on a Stonemason's workshop on C6 using 6 Stone Tools. The Drecthul Commonwealth notices that there is not much room left on the tile for constructions!
2 Drecs forage for stone at C6 using junk tools to collect 7 Stone
2 Drecs continue research on Animal Domestication.
1 Drec activates the Box of Eternal Cats... Now there's a cat... And that is all that happens. The cat doesn't seem to care about the Drecthul, but not caring about people is normal for cats.
2 more civilians are made at the cost of 6 food.

Arutz
5 Rooties farm at D4 using 5 junk farming tools to collect
4 Rooties research Stone Tools
5 Rooties research Tribal Leadership
1 Rootie decides to set fire to C5... Fortunately, the stoney mountain isn't particularly flammable and the civilian is able to avoid being harmed. Bonus reasearch points have been obtained for Campfires!

Patterian Minds
1 Patpat fertilizes the farmland at... H2? There is no farmland at H2.
5 Patpats forage (not farm) at H2 using junk tools to collect 14 food
4 Patpats research Scholars to complete the tech.

The Hamptons
3 Hamhams farm at J10 using junk tools to collect 12 food
5 Hamhams build wooden housing using 2 junk tools... on which tile? Okay, I know for a fact that you know you need co-ordinates. Housing is not exclusive to the home tile in this iteration of Gridhood.
2 Forest Rangers research Booze.

Breiger Clan
3 Biggles farm at E6 using... 3 junk tools (because 3 people can't use 4 tools) to collect 10 food
3 Biggles forage at E7 to collect 10 food
2 Biggles pray to Blarg
2 Biggles research Fruit Trees

Octadians
The Octadians stagnate

Two things. First of all, I fixed BOTH Drecthul tool related errors. The Drecthul also were using more than 2 tools. (If there was a third error I didn't catch, I still goofed)

And Gilbert does not have the 10 FP needed to make two liquid nitrogen oceans. Unless I goofed and didn't give him FP he should have got somehow.

Nirii Dominion

4x farm C2 farmland with 4x wood tools.
2x wood-harvest D2 wood-tile with 2x wood woodcutting tools.
2x craft wood farming tools with 2x junk tools.
8x research Feasting
1x researches Food Preservation.

The Nidos convene once more. They have a disturbing number of conversations about how the future involves eating lots of food, and picking-and-choosing only the best parts of food. Just imagine being able to throw away grain that's slightly moldy!
There are unfortunate questions over the wisdom of cutting down trees with wooden tools, but it'll work better than the old ways. The tree-topplers are thrilled by the idea of not having to dig under trees with improvised tools to topple them.
Some nidos complain about living off of grains and grain porridge. One particularly inventive youth invents grain gruel. The excitement is short-lived.
