Still have space for you. Don't worry about that!

[coleslaw35]

Hey there! I'm super interested as this seems like it could be a pretty dang fun concept! I'll get started on writing up an application. That is, assuming the title is correct and you do still need another.

Might take me an hour or two, but I'll do my best to whip something up!

Yep, we still need one more. Even if we didn't, I think you'd still be allowed to join.

Protip: If you don't want me to always have a justification for war against you, DON'T MAKE AN ORGANIC CIV.

Or make whatever you want to make and just join us "organics" in a coalition against the robots that oogle here is making.

[Unraveller]

Sweet! I'm super stoked. About half-way done, then I gotta throw up a half-assed map. Haha.

And sorry friend, I'm just plain organic for life.

[coleslaw35]

And sorry friend, I'm just plain organic for life.

AMEN, down with the robots.

100 Bone Defenders
50 Bone Arbalests

Spoiler: Troop Designs (click to show/hide)

Bone Defender: Human Militia of the previous castle, now risen up to the grave from necromantic energy in the Ruins as now skeletal shells and equipped with their arming swords and heavy kite shields, wearing and armored in rusting chainmail and their hardened bones, while slow they move in formation and carry heavy armor and have their undead motivation to kill any who oppose the Ancestor’s will until their bodies eventually shamble to broken pieces (2 Project Cost, 1 Unit Cost)
Bone Arbalest: Human Guardsman of the previous castle, now risen from their outposts and sentry positions and have been risen from the Ruin’s necromantic energy, they are equipped with powerful hitting crossbows, but take significant time to reload, and all have a rusting semi-useful bayonet when enemies try to melee them. (2 Project Cost, 1 Unit Cost)
Undead Horse: Undead horses that used to be grazing, pack and work animals, or even some horses from the knightly stables, now risen up from necromantic energy most still have their rotting skin as they trounce and gallop across the battlefield with their bonely hooves and carved horse jaws to trample on their opponents (2 Project Cost, 1 Unit Cost)

Spoiler: Project Information (click to show/hide)

Crimson Curse (5), Powerful curse that increases the ferocity, strength, endurance, and stamina of a creature wherever they harvest blood from others in any means possible an have a endless thirst to gather more and more of it, this supernatural curse has found a way to live inside the bloodstream and has mystical abilities with it, it transmits whenever another creature veins touch the Curse and they become curse with the effect.

Necromancer Scholar: (9): One of the Ancestor’s most valuable scholar and adviser
that collaborated with the Ancestor on the art of how to achieve immortality, murdered and then brought back with much of his intellect intact, but with little to no humanity remaining. After the Ancestor's death, the Necromancer took over the Ruins, using their magic to bring the corpses buried there back to life as their servants, continuing his unholy experiments with necromancy and bringing back the dead eternally. The magic has empowered the creature to be twice the size of a man and clothed in giant red cultist robes with only its damaged skull showing, he is capable of bringing back the dead alive from fallen enemy forces into the undead at this creature’s command, with his mere touch to absorb the life energy of a creature until it withers into a husk, as well as raise multiple skeletal hands from the ground from his scroll to entangle and pull squads of forces six feet under into the ground. His giant skeletal frame and raw energy holds him together, allowing him to still be very difficult to take down.

Civilization Name: Daal'Gak (Great Hole)
Theme: Subterranean Gribblies
Day 0:
Home Territory: The Great Hole -- https://imgur.com/a/f3X8UbF
Other Territories: None
Owned Strategic Resources: Meteoric Obsidian (100/Per Turn) -- Volcanic glass of an unnaturally dark shade. It fell from the heavens above, rupturing the Earth long ago. Thus cracking the olde vaults below the world, by which all manner of detestable beast emerge.

The Tribal Daal'Gaks both idolize what is left of the enigmatic glass and have begun to utilize it for its unfathomably sharp edges when knapped.

It is said one may see their innermost self in reflection when gazing upon 'Gaar'Vul.'

Current Troops:
Tribals -- 4,500  (1,125 Value)
Pebble-Slingers -- 1,200 (300 Value)
Trogs -- 350 (350 Value)
Gru'Beks -- 300 (225 Value)

Heroes: None

Supplies: Meteoric Obsidian

Recruiting this turn: (160 Value)
240 - Pebble Slingers (60 Value)
100 - Trogs (100 Value)

Spoiler: Troop Designs (click to show/hide)

Crundle - Tribals -- (Project Cost: 2 | Recruitment Value: 0.25) Squat, gremin-like creatures no taller than four foot at the tall end. Their wart-covered red skin is like stretched rubber over their thin boned structure. A collection of small horns dot their angular skulls, the length of which is an arbitrary symbol pride among them. Oddly, they give off a pleasant and inoffensive earthy odor.

Their main choice of equipment consists of lacerating natural claws, knapped stone spears, and loose fitting cavern hides to ward the elements of the surface.

Crundles are far and away the main inhabitants and dominate species among the Daal'Gaks. And while their introspective intelligence leaves something to be desired, their surprising cunning does not.

Crundle - Pebble-Slinggers -- (Project Cost: 2 | Recruitment Value: 0.25) Much as the above, save for the replacement of their spears with long slingstaffs born of spongy fungal wood by which stones are flung.

They gather together in loose bands and sling in a rather orderly unison, fooling a foe to perhaps believe they've mastered the art of siege engineering and bear catapult-like objects.

Trog - Siege Beasts -- (Project Cost: 4 | Recruitment Value: 1) Rare amongst the Daal'Gaks are great furred humanoids, some standing greater than ten-feet tall. Walrus-like tusks decend from their upper mouths while broad muscled shoulders aid in their lumbering gait and short legs.

Im truth, the Trogs are far more intelligent than their comparatively miniscule cousins. They bare greater wit and even a taste for philosophy. However they are subjugated by the Crundles and used as beast of burden and war.

With backpack-like fungal-wood structures harboring a handful of Crundles wielding long spears, javelins, and slingstaffs, they combine the qualities of a siege tower and battering ram into one absolute unit.

Gru'Beks - Thick Slugs -- (Project Cost: 3 | Recruitment Value: 0.75) Amidst the Great Hole, a great advancement for the race of Daal'Gaks was the domestication of the humble Gru'Bek; A large bulbous cavern slug that both secretes and may expel a mixture of mucus that quickly hardens, taking on a cement-like quality. Used to trap prey for further dissolution. As well as a renknewable resource from which the Daal'Gaks habe used to create the first bits of infrastructure for their tribe. Only the Gru'Bek is known to be able to naturally neutralise this cement.

Crundles coat themselves in a thick tar / pitch substance, which has been found to resist around 90% of adherence to the Gru'Beks' mucus. Thus Gru'Bek masters are able to be picked out at but a glance, sometimes referred to as black riders.

Up to a trio may easily ride the back of one such slug, with the usual assortment of weaponry. Two bearing a longspear, and the third a slingstaffs. In battle their intent is not to charge like most cavalry, but utilize their mount's physiology in trapping / screening the front ranks of the enemy.

Spoiler: Project Information (click to show/hide)

Expand Outwards and Upwards -- (Project Cost: 9) Overcoming their trepidation and shedding their sensitivity to the great lights above, the Daal'Gaks collectively make an effort to emerge from their deep ravine and build up a presence in the world at large.

Through a combination of spongy fungal wood and Gru'Bek cement, they construct the makings of a proper fortress, or at least one through the bleak eyes of cunning cave dwellers upon the precipice of the Great Hole, to secure their place amongst the rest. It is known in their tongue by the name Burz'Gaang

0/20 Project Points remain.

I just need to say sorry in advanced for my piss poor map of the territory. I don't have access to a PC at the moment, so I had to draw on my phone, I hope you can make out the important bits.

Namely, there's a ravine with a big obsidian rock, a little wooden / cement fort on the edge, and it's all surroinded by semi lifeless wasteland. Sorry again. Hope everything else is in order!

Your map is more than fine, in my opinion at least. As I see it, there's nothing to apologize for.

[Unraveller]

Daaw. Well I appreciate it. Sometimes it's the dumbest things that make me anxious.

[Supernerd]

Oh dear. I wasn't expecting two more players. Unless one of you doesn't mind starting in a rather precarious position, This will complicate the map design process quite a lot.

[Unraveller]

Sure, throw me up in the thick of things if it makes it easier on you, I ended up posting mine last after all. It's only fair.

[Supernerd]

Very well then.

I have also found an issue with Shadowclaw777's application.

You cannot start with units that cost strategic resources. The Supplicant design and Sycophant design cannot be owned at game start due to the strategic resource cost. (The project itself is okay).

You also have 3 unspent points.

I'll be doing a final review of everything prior to game start, and I still have to finish the map. The game should start within the week.
