Given everything, I'm starting one up.

Rules go here, over time.

Gridhood: The Fifth Axis

Spoiler: Playing as a God (click to show/hide)

Gods Start with 3FP, and gain 1 FP per turn.
Pick a Name, Color, and an Aspect. When that Aspect triggers, you gain FP.
{Aspects are single words}

What Gods can currently Do,

• 3FP- Create a Basic Tile in the Void
• 2FP- Destroy an unoccupied Basic Tile
• 6FP- Remodify, Completely Change a Tile to another Basic Tile Type. Results may vary.
• 2FP Add a Modifier to a Tile
• 2FP- Protect a Tile from Remodification to another tile type. Protection Cost must be paid for someone to change it, on top of the 6 FP needed to Remodify a Tile.
• 1FP Destroy something you Created. (Tiles or Artifacts)
• 5+FP Create an Artifact. The More advanced or powerful, the more it costs.
• 20+(10x?) FP- Create a Divine Beast
• 2+FP Bless or Curse a Worker

More will be added as the game progresses. God Actions resolve in sequence of post, and cannot negate another God's Action. Destruction/Curses/Blessings applies after all actions are completed.

Spoiler: God Action: Divine Beasts (click to show/hide)

A Divine Beast is a creation that does not require substance to survive. And all of them have something special about them, even if it's not immediately obvious. The less a Divine Beast can do, the more powerful they are usually. They're unique in that they themselves can evolve over time, and are intelligent enough to give a civilization a run for it's Food.
At Base, they cost 20 FP. Additional FP in multiples of 10 can be used to increase their abilities on creation.
Their can usually only be one Divine Beast per tile, but that doesn't always mean they'll stay there. The Aspect of a God can affect the created Divine Beast. While long-lived, they can be killed, but not easily. In addition, this type of creation can't be destroyed by Gods, only Mortals.

Spoiler: God Action: Blessings and Curses (click to show/hide)

Blessings and Curses are effects which can be applied to single workers for at least 2 FP. Usually minor, though some effects cost more than 2 FP. A Blessing can not also have a Curse effect, and vice versa. Likewise, additional Blessings & Curses often times cost more as you begin to stack them. The other restriction is it must often be summed up in a single word to describe it, mostly for GM sanity.
Blessings & Curses
Note, Blessings and Curses apply after all actions are completed.

Spoiler: Basic Tile structure (click to show/hide)

As I have to add this, you cannot create a tile that has no form other than a modifier. Rocky Plains, Desert, Tundra, Savana, Glasslands, Plains. These are all Basic Tiles.

Rich Metal Deposit however is a type of area, but has no climate. It's a modifier, not a Basic Tile of itself.

When Creating Tiles, remember that it has to have form. Of at least 1 sort.

Spoiler: Playing as a Civ (click to show/hide)

Pick a Name, Color, and Aspect, as well as a Tile to settle on. You cannot settle in a Void Tile.
{Aspects are singular words}

All Civs start with 5 workers,, 10 Primitive Houses, 10 Food, and 5 Logistics. At the Start, you can only forage for food on your tiles, and tiles 1 tile away from you.

So if you settle at B-2, you can only forage at B-1, A-2, B-3, and C-2. As well as your home tile, B-2.

Logistics govern the number of actions you can perform.
Example,

1 worker forages for food at B-1.
2 worker forages for food at B-2.
1 worker prays to ??.
3 worker forages for food at B-3.
1 worker researches ??.

In this example, you have 8 workers, and five actions you can take. Any more will be cut.

Primitive Houses house 1 worker, and the number of Houses a tile can currently hold is ten. Food is deducted at the end of a turn, so dead workers don't eat food.


You can forage for food, and research. You can also pray to a god to generate FP for them.
3 food can be spent to create 1 worker.

Spoiler: New Civ Info (click to show/hide)

Named Individuals are those who have shown particular promise toward a certain path, and are leaders of their tribe. They can only be created through Gameplay, not by Players. As such, the Grey Binding Casket isn't likely to be used anytime soon.

Remember, great Actions result in Named Individuals, be it research or war.

Limit is 5 Civs, and 5 Gods.

Spoiler: Divine Disasters & Other Such Phenomenon (click to show/hide)

Turn 9, A-1. Divine Disaster. Occured when a Tile was modified too heavily from it's original form. In this case, the roots ended up growing and growing from divine power, until the entire tile began to break down. This causes a large section of it to sink into the waters below. Caused by applying 3 modifiers(abundant food) of increasing intensity to the tile. Caused by Gilbert, God of Cats.

Despite the aspect, Gen'iak is a god of knowledge. Unlike other gods, Gen'iak's power increases in proportion to how much it is needed. Gen'iak seeks to use this power to reduce the stupidity of this world instead of spreading it.

Action (3FP): Geniak converts C5 into a forest.

Color: Orange with yellow glow effect.
