>Cut down tree.

Acquire wood.

Trade wood for sheep.

OP: I saw this thread yesterday. Shit was great. Get a tripcode just for this thread so we know who the fuck you are!

>>9314191
- you manage to fell one of the nearest trees.

>>9314228
As if the art wouldn't give it away?

>>9314251

Sharpen stick from tree to make a spear

>>9314274

- you manage to craft 1 low quality spear.

+ your knowledge in woodcraft gains 2 points as you had to fell the tree than select a suitable cut of wood. The next thing you craft will be of higher quality

Catch fish using the sharpened stick, and smoke them over a fire of green leaves. This will ensure that we have food for a little while that will keep.

>>9314318

Should we build a pen for some livestock?

>stratedgy
>SHABOTH THE FORTOLD

Not sure what's going on here but it bodes.

****Are there any villages nearby?

>>9314325
You can build a simple smoker with sticks and damp earth very easily. A fun way to cook when camping.

>>9314325
- you manage to catch 5 fish and begin smokeing them on a small wooden frame above the a small fire.

+ your skill in fishing has increased, also your spearmenship has increased slightly

>>9314346
there is a large old village to your east its name is Algor Hewn.

Are there dangerous wild animals in surrounding woods?
Maybe we should build a wall from sticks and stones.

>>9314430

Awesome. I suggest after we set up enough resources that we begin to craft to trade with them.

Do we have any seeds? Or are there any edible plants that we can gather seeds\harvest rootstock from nearby? Also are there any roads\trading routes\markets within a few days walk?

- At night you hear hoots and howls from the forrest, you assume there are beasts roaming in amongst the ancient trees.

- There is ample ground cover and roots for you to collect and bring back to your hut.

>>9314488
Plant roots and cuttings taken from wild herbs in a garden patch.

>>9314516
We can grow medicinal herbs and trade them with the village for things that we need.

for the unfamiliar, read the previous game

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9292029/

shit got epic

- you collect a multitude of root clippings, acrid fungus and bright sweet smelling flowers and plant them outside your hut.

we need to build up our house, make it tougher before something comes and knocks it over in the night.

>>9314665
atleast add to our house or build another one so someone elce can help us out, more people means we can have more going on at one time.

craft a couple of snare traps in the forrest useing our wood crafting skills.

Gather nearby brambles and thorny plants, use them to create a ring around our hut to protect us at night from creatures that may smell the fish.

- you manage to craft two simple snare traps and place them on the outskirts of the forrest to your south, you will return to check them in 2 days time.

Chop down trees, start making coal

Also, I love you OP for making these threads.

>>9314430

The building next to the well looks familiar...

Watch towers in Shaboth village, anyone?

****What kind of fish are there in the river?

this thread makes me think so much about unreal world... same principle of wilderness survival.

****What is the religious situation in this part of your world? Is this the land that worships Shaboth, or is it a different one?

>>9314706
>>9314686

There may be refugees from the south that need a place to live. We can build a longhouse out of wood, dug into the ground and roofed with sod.

>>9314827

Ignore this, should've read the original post.

Establish a religious cult that follows a Chaotic Good aligned god.

>>9314706
- you gather nearby brambles and thorny bushes and construct a camp perimiter to ward off any small predators

- you begin an addition to your hut useing stronger materials from the tree you felled.

- you smoke additional food in preperation for small trade.

- you venture further into the woods for more potential hunting spots

Build a watermill

>>9314849
Could we chop down a couple of trees to make a small cottage?

Start building a daemon shrine.

>>9314901

Please no. Shaboth village was fun, but let's not have a rape-kill-maim-destroy village every time.

***** in the shallows of the river you can see
- shuffeling kelt - small meaty fish
-oxen barrow bulger - small poisonous fish

I eat OP to acquire his delicious quick drawing skills

Was the other thread archived? I missed it and this looks awesome.

>>9314908

Phew, no carp. That means we can safely spearfish and surviving the last fishing trip was no coincedence.

****What direction does the river flow in (as in north/east/south/west)

>>9314827
yes they exist in this same universe.

they are to our far south. i'm working on a world map for next session.

Start building holy shrine to offset the demonic village with power of GOOD and JUSTICE

You should try to remember why you were fleeing from your home

>>9314923

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9292029/

>>9314941

Wait, you need to remember why you were fleeing? Just a second...

>>9293535

>Assemble your deamoniacs. March to the fishing village, demand monthly virgin tribute. Sacrifice tribute at shrine.

I'm pretty sure this is the reason

>>9314908
We should gather some of the poisonous fish, and extract the toxin. Knowledge of herbs and poisons is a useful and valuable asset.

Extract poison. Start an Assassin academy.

>>9314908
If we can somehow extract poison from the fish, we could coat our spear tip with it and have more deadly weapon.

Look for more survivors/refugees

/tg/, promise to archive this thread, because I probably won't be able to see the end of it. School and stuff like that.

>>9314949
Thanks bro.

Tie flexible branches and twigs into a net, start fishing.

Op is a god walking amongst mere mortals.

- you fell 2 more large trees and begin chopping up sections of wood for additional materials

- you stumble apon another refugee in the woods and you recognise them from your previous town, they help you collect more wood and move into your hut.

- hut extension is complete

- you keep the posionous fish seperate from your main catch and grind them into a paste when they are dry. you then smear the posion resin onto your spear.

- your spear is now more effective at killing large animals.

- you find 2 rabits in your snare traps.

> Go to the village and find a woman
> Make her to your wife

Chop down trees, make a bridge over the river. Establish a bridge tax, use money gained from the tax to buy rope from the village.

>Hunt for larger game with poison spear, use food stock for trade/sepplies

>>9315191

In case this was poorly understood - demand money from every person that wants to cross the bridge, and some extra for animals they bring along. Use the money to buy ropes so we can make better traps / nets.

Attempt to acquire more herb lore. Perhaps from the village, or from travelers.

>>9315131

what does the other refugee know how to do? ask him that.

- you begin building a wooden cottage from the felled wood

- you begin constructing a wooden bridge to the east of your hut.

- you collect another rabbit from a snare trap

- your herb garden is in full bloom, the newcommer to the hut tells you his mother used to treat small injuries with the acrid smelling fungus.

+ acrid smelling fungus identified as healing plant.

+ additional experience gained in wood craft
- you structures will be of better quality next time you build or rework something made of wood.

>craft another spear, smear poison on it as well, give cruder spear to refugee, form hunting party for food trade

>>9315279

Make more snare traps. Go fishing. Make drying racks. We can trade dried fish and rabbit hides.

Build a warehouse - dig about a shovel's length into the ground and construct a small house there - that way, things inside will stay cool.

>>9315282
Poisoning your food is a retarded idea

>>9315279
If the refugee knows how to treat injuries with the fungus, we can offer healing for a price to anyone who will cross our bridge.

I think a bridge toll will be enough for people crossing it.

Search for more refugees

We find some people to join our village..via...

WOLOLO, WOLOLO....

>>9315412

Yes, search for more refugees. Or are there other settlements nearby?

>>9315370
There are plenty of poisons that can be used for hunting. Indigenous tribes use poison arrow frog darts to kill primates, then eats them. I'm just saying, poison that immobilises\ kills prey may not be deadly to cook and eat.

>>9315436

But we don't know what kind of poison is it. It might be a killer poison, it might go away with cooking etc...

build a wooden cage,
try to catch some rabits alive,
put them into the cage

>>9315370
They do it in real life hunting in places, and the do fine, look it up before speaking.

>>9315392
Healing should be a service we offer for the good of the community. It will improve our reputation.

- construction continues on wooden cottage

- construction almost complete on wooden bridge

- you construct drying racks outside the half built cottage for the rabbit hides

+ you gain skinning knowledge
+ you gain construction knowledge and experience
+ nearby village sends word of a tradeing day at the local market for all local farmers and hunters to trade their wares.

Bring wood, rabbits and fish to the trading day. Also ask around for orphans and other homeless people to join you in your glorious new village. Ask around for more refugees.

OP, I think I love you.

>Kill refugee, wear entrails as necklace

>>9315470
go to the village on tradeing day to offer your wares
try also to find a woman

Bring rabbits and fish, and rabbit hides if they're dried. Go around the village, make sure to get to know people. Bring orphans back if we can.

>>9315470

Also, OP, your sketches are beautiful. Much applause.

Bringing us an orphan would be ideal. Ask the refugee if he wants anything, tell him to keep watch while we're gone. Shouldn't be long.

>>9315513
No. We already took that path, this time we're not being rampantly evil.

>>9315562
Just one guy..? I can stop anytime I want, just one..

Trade for seeds at the market day, and till a field. A goat, or chickens would also improve our stocks greatly but may be expensive.

>>9315470
try to trade your goods to get appletree-seeds or similar,
something you can raise

>>9315585
damn you, just a few sec's faster..

Also, when in the village, watch around for signs of deamonic corruption. You can never be too careful with Shaboth cultists.

>>9315417
Holy shit, Nostalgia bomb.

>>9315579
Not even one guy. Sorry.

If you want, once we're rich we can make an altar to a more beneficent god and sacrifice the occasional large animal on it. That's as far as I'm going.

>>9315665

And before the sacrifice, the animal has to be humanely killed by a spike through the neck.

it is the second thread

Yes, agree on that - let's have a benevolent god this time round. And let's spread that creed around the world, as is our destiny!

>>9315699

Strategy + edgy = stratedgy

Also, saging an epic thread. Good job.

where is OP? please don't fade away OP? please?

Can we worship our god in another way? like a well etc? like through valuables into the river? river god?

find a woman in town, fuck her,
get a strong firstborn

GET YESELF A WAIFU

>>9315744
Yeah, encouraging backwards beliefs and destruction of useful items is a smart move. Fucking retard

>>9315733

It takes a while to draw this epicly, I'm afraid. Check the archive of the first one in the meantime.

Build shrine on bridge, passers by leave tokens on shrine, god of travel, shrine is extra spiritual due to being on a x of two types of travel thingys

>>9315585
best suggestion so far!

>>9315789

Oh nono I'm not rushing you! Was just worried you'd disappeared. But please do take your time, this is epic stuff.

BACKWARDS BELIEFS? DID YOU READ THE LAST STORY?

>>9315790

This would actually be cool - instead of taking a bridge toll, present yourselves as the priests of god of travel and build a shrine next to the bridge. Religion = better at making money than corporations.

- you return from market day having traded rabit furrs, rabit meat, dried fish, acrid smelling healing fungus treatments.

+ bridge complete
+cottege complete
+ additional herb gardens complete

- word has gotten around that you have a good settlement and appearing on the other side of the bridge are 4 additional refugees one of which is an old village elder.

+ 1 village elder with expert herb knowledge and healing experience

+ 2 hunters

+ 1 farmer with wheat and apple seeds and cart.

+ 2 pigs

>>9315812

I'm not the OP. I am, however, the guy in the last thread who kept yammering "Where's OP"

Establish a militant religious order of good that protects nearby villages and battles Shaboth and his evil spawn

>>9315771
I dont see how fucking retards would please the river god!

Start building a tower.

>>9315826

Ask the elder to tend and take care of the herb garden. It is his to enlarge.

But first do we have enough wood, we need to build houses or at least an extension for everyone. I say we build a single house-village in a circle, the outer walls all connected together with a single opening.

>>9315866

A guardhouse at the bridge would be better for collecting the toll- I mean religious donations.

Start construction on a communal shelter. Made out of stone, if possible.

>>9315880

this, and farmer to find some fertile land to sow. apple trees near the river, wheat is up to him.

Why are all the trees the same?

>>9315826
Give thanks for your successful trading, by making a simple shrine to the god of roads and commerce.

Construct additional pylons

Guys, we need militia to protect ourselves from Shaboth's cultists. Make spears, train people. Trade armor from village.

>>9315884
Agreed. We should build guardhouses at either end.

I'm guessing this will be more of a trading village, then?

Sounds cool enough.

***** what are the new peoples profiecencies if any?

>>9315902
So OP doesn't have to spend ages drawing trees over an over again?

construct religion based on the worship of fire.

>>9315960

Fire is a destructive force used by Shaboth and his ilk. Definitely NOT the stuff our village will worship.

>>9315976

Then we will worship water - clean, flowing water, like the holy river that flows by our village. When the water flows, all things become clean. By its motion, all things gain purity. By its stillness, all things gain clarity.

>>9315976
fire isnt solely a destructive force! consider the benefits of regular forest fires for instance, besides, without destruction there is no construction.

Communal shelter is most important thing. It can hold everyone for now, but after building more we will divide them between family groups.

We should try to be like the Iruquois.

>>9315994

Movement brings trade which makes civilizations flourish.

I guess that whatever god we worhip takes an aspect of river and looks after trade, roads and agriculture.

>>9316005

Well yeah, but river has had an important part in the development of our village - fish, poison and the bridge ensure its survival. Worship of water in some form is the next logical step.

>>9316005
Fires also forge tools and feed families clean cooked foods and clean boiled water, it is the force of change!

>>9316006

Agree with this, and with water worship. Anyway if we build a communal house with linked walls for defence, it saves on building watch houses.

Is the bridge being used at all, meanwhile?

>>9316014
ah but fire made a lot of that progress also possible!
water has done only a small part!

We should build a small boat and go exploring up and down the river.

worship of fire 'and' water it is!

>>9316094
This.. would be acceptable..

>>9316076

Dude, now we're looking at stuff from a Ruby / sapphire level. The thing is that fire is probably associated with Shaboth worship, given that those cultists have burned the corpses and HE HAS A FUCKING FLAMING SWORD. It doesn't really matter what the true nature of fire is - when people think fire worship, they think Shaboth. The stigma may be erased in a few hundred years from now, but for now, fire is evil for people in this world.

- communal building construction begun

- shrine/water well being constructed

-guard tower over bridge being constructed

+ apple trees planted near rivver

+ 2 wheat crops planted

- village eldar takes over old hut as town healer

+ toll gained from bridge

(suggestions /what we can purchase next time we go to market with our toll funds)

>>9316014
Rivers are also an excellent way to transport trade goods, and we built a bridge as well.

We could worship Olerth the Wanderer - Lord of Trade and Rivers, patron of traveling merchants.

...Worship of fire?
Are we that primitive?
Disregarding that, reverence for water and fire is not exclusive.

>>9316107
Fight fire with fire!.. and water..

>>9316112
>>9316112
>>9316112
>>9316112
>>9316112
>>9316112

A hundred times this.

>>9316089
Seconding this. A boat, and a place for it to dock.

buy sword on market
to defende bridge

Construction is excellent. Focus on the shelter - that needs to be completed before anything else. How many males and how many females do we have? Any couples?

>>9316115
Primitive, it is not, take your boxed in thinking elsewhere!

We could always try to get more people for our small village

Start building a wall around the village and a huge gate. We need to be prepared for attack from Shaboth worshippers, especially now since we've proclaimed our religious views so openly.

I told you guys we should train some militia, but noooooooooo....

>>9316146
Tell me how worshipping fire isn't primitive. I'm not talking about the sun, of course, I'm talking about the flame itself.
Heck, it was old in Babylonian standards, I think.

>>9316170
It's no different than modern worship, it's an idea, it's older perhaps but that =/= right away primitive.

>>9316170

You keep using the word primitive. I don't think it means what you think it means. Maybe ancient, instead?

But yes, a boat would be a good idea. We already have communal housing for defensive purposes.

Religious habits -

To cleanse ourselves ritually every morning. The wandering god requires no fixed shrine, but we must clean and refresh ourselves for every day's journeys.

First thing in the morning, communal prayer at the water's edge, then washing our faces and arms.

>>9316205

It's not really primitive outright. You see, people worship something they find mysterious. Early tribes saw flame as something that kept them warm and safe by its grace, while later civilizations regarded fire as a tool, and though worship of it primitive.

Worshipping of rivers is primitive as well - but since our village is kept alive by it (compare first and the current picture) it makes more sense than worshipping fire.

Build a palisade around the whole village.

I really don't see why we are bitching about what type of imaginary friend we have when we could be doing practical things

anyways screw shaboth, worship water 'and' fire im spit of their ilk

Can we make some V shaped woven nets in the river to catch fish passivley

Guys, our village has like seven people. Walls? Militias? We need more populace before either of those becomes practical.

>>9316236
it really doesnt make more sense.

>>9316250

Because bitching about imaginary friends made the last session so much more fun.

>>9316250
frankly playing a little text/picture game isnt practical, but it's fun, so shut it.

>>9316267

This is good.

Also, next village day, see if there are some metalsmiths we can contract to make tools for us. Ploughs. Axes, fishing hooks. Other farming implements.

We need to grow, and to grow we need food.

>>9316277

Judging by the picture, I'd say we live in a temperate environment. We never really see our guy lightning a fire, so we can assume it never really gets cold here - that's why fire isn't important for the people here.

River, on the other hand, brings fish, poison and money from the bridge toll. They fear that if they don't show it proper respect, all those things will somehow dissapear - it's not necessary, but to be on the safe side, let's make some rituals to keep it satisfied, shall we?

And that's how river worship is born.

>>9316314

This man speaks the truth.

But our worship of the river probably wouldn't involve throwing things into it either. Better not to foul the river up, since we do depend on it!

>>9316236
Exactly what I mean.
I'm ok with worshipping the God of Travel, and if one of his extension is the river, so be it. It'll make for a nice religious locus.
This is different than "I worship fire because it burns mightly" on many, many levels.

we use fire for other things than warmth, as has been pointed out several times, you are stilll thinking in a little box :p

What about some baits? To trap a wild dog or something so we can domesticate it? or find something that birds like and spread that in a pen that we want them to live in? (so they get used to being inside said pen)

>>9316232
This is cool. My vote for water and travel, our connection with the land that has provided for us.

Fire is a functional tool, but is not in keeping with any of the themes of our existence.

I have to get to class, for the love of whatever goddamn deity you fuckers choose in the end, please archive this thread and any continuations of it.

>>9316338
No, you are just pushing fire, for no good reason.

>>9316340
bah, you guys are boring with you water and travel worship, it's just a tool as well in a sense.

>>9316329

It's not really that different - if a tribe, for example, would have trouble keeping fire (but have a river nearby) and would not really need the river, they'd try to keep the fire satisfied. Worshipping earthly things IS more primitive than worshipping divine beings (such as true gods), but religion is LESS primitive than no religion.

Wrote a philosophy paper on religions this year. Heavily influenced by Dune as well.

Anyway, should I put an archive request on sup/tg/ already?

>>9316370
>>9316362

I don't think we should actively worship any diety in particular, just small thanks here and there for the gods to look out over the settlement, for luck and prosperity. Like people can whittle their own little tokens to the gods to decorate the area with (during their free time of course)

>>9316368

It IS a tool. But it's a lot more immersive to see a village like that worshipping river than fire. It would be more awesome if they just traded with the other village for pitch and axes, dipped the axes in pitch, set them afire and start yelling and killing people like barbarians IN THE NAME OF FIRE, but that's not really immersive.

>>9316370
I'm not seeing how either is more or less primitive, though I'm just seeing a lot of common cultural influence I guess.

>>9316387
again =/= destruction alone.. but fine I'll stop pushing fire seeing as so many of you are stuck on that.. raaaah! fire baaad!

Created the archive thread - get it on sup/tg/, named Village Drawing RPG 2

Vote it up, it's at the bottom of the list.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html

- construction on communal building continues 70% complete

- bridge tower 80 % complete

- construction on outer wall begun

- additional trees felled further into the woods for additional supplies

- village elder cultivating potent healing tonics and remedys.

- village elder insists on wearing a sign of the watter goddess Usulus above the head. a circlet made of a river reed.

******************************
2 wandering undead spotted shuffeling out of the woods.
******************************

Fire worship would make a good example in a creepy in-the-middle-of-woods village, where we'd worship fire for making light at the night that keeps the monsters at bay.

Build a palisade, try to improve the bridge and export more goods.

Build a boat.

>>9316455
still! stuck on warmth and light only :/

Allright, cool, Water Goddess Usulus (moar like useless, amirite guise?) it is.

Dispatch those undead - there must be some herbs that act as holy water or something.

>2 wandering undead spotted shuffeling out of the woods.

...well, shit.

Intensify building of wall on that side, take out undead with spear ***** can you clarify that these are shambly weak undead that are scary en-masse or whether they are fucking shit hard to kill

i vote we use
"- village elder cultivating potent healing tonics and remedys. "

on the undead and finish the wall

>>9316482
useless indeed, boring as well 'but' moving on..

Who is our strongest man? Give him a spear and tell him to keep an eye out for the approaching undead. Are they just zombies?

*****How many women do we have? Any marriages? We need info on demographics. We need more villagers!

Make some bows, shoot down the undead.

Start building the boat, it will probably be good.

OP here, brb 45 mins.

come up with plan of action against these undead.

we havnt crafted anymore weapons have we? We should have maybe honed that skill more.. but past is past, AIM FOR THE HEAD, FREEMAN!

Okay OP, this will be my last post, then. Make a good ending, shit's already archived.

I suggest we use the village elder's herbalism skill to find a herb that works good against undead, make a potion out of it and use it on the spear to crumble them to dust.

>>9316573

We have one spear. We could probably make one more if we speed up, but I doubt we have enough time.

We should try to domesticate the zombies! We would have our guardsmen.

CALL UPON THE RIVER/TRAVEL GOD TO SPLASH THEM WITH WATER AND RUN AWAY!

>>9316519
Suck a flaming fire dick with your false superiority.

also on the subject of demographics, shouldn't we keep record of trades and visit, how much money we have, supplies, etc.? Something like a town study hall or a library to hold this info in would be useful, would also help with culture/sciences.

According to
>>9315826
we have 2 hunters.Assuming that they have bows, tell them to shoot the undead.
If the undead haven't spotted us yet, avoid contact.

I vote on spiked stakes in the ground (roughly 6-8ft in length) in the ground, around that side of the village, to trap them on something, then come at them from behind and introduce brains to lump of wood. Quintin style

>>9316595
I believe moving on was said good sir, so kindly shut it!

Allright OP, here's a deal:

Introduce a mysterious stranger who's a worshipper of a benevolent fire god. Make him start a cult in our village, which would end either in merging of both cults into worshipping the twin elements OR end in a bloody religious conflict.

Guess what's more likely to happen.

>>9316612
>>9316609
Whatever the case, we should stress not coming into physical contact with the undead at any cost.

We're going to need a storehouse for all the apples/wheat/furs/medicine/etc we're going to have, too - especially for when winter comes around.

>>9316631
You don't make a deal with the OP. Stop all this stupid fire vs water bullshit.

if no long range weapons are available, have the hunters work together to take out the zombies with their spears. Of course they might new ones, Zombie juice would be all over the old ones.

Lot of jerks came into this thread.

what God our village does not matter, for it is we who shape their destiny.
That being said: Kill Undead, build trade raft/boat house

>>9316595
but sorry if I found water/trade worship so common and boring, you rarely see it worshipped in a constructive complex way, maybe I wanted that, that's all, sorry you're so offended by our silly text game discussion. :p

Some hunters joined us. They are hunters, they have weapons and know how to hit small, quick animals with them.
Slow undeads will be no match for them, unless they're pussies.

>>9316665
Seriously...

>>9316695
They're shamblers right? not the modern fast zombie types?

>>9316736
Judging from the picture, they're shamblers. Their footsteps are near and they're walking with the classic "BRAAAAINS" posture. They don't seem that fast, the biggest problem is probably their resistance to hits.

But these are just suppositions.

well yeah if they're the slow sorts, such small numbers should be no problem, frankly after these two, if there's more we can just build a wall to easily keep them out.

Assuming more: a good shot to the inside of the braincasing with an arrow or spear should do the trick, if not, complete dismemberment may be necessary.. which would make them a lot more trouble then..

Allright, let's cut the religion crap. The OP picked water god, we stick with water god. For some, it may be stupid, Usules and boring, but that's just life.

Destroy undead with some potions made from herbs, then construct boat.

We're now officialy a Good Thread on sup/tg/!!!

>>9316892
We already stopped the religion crap, jesus shut up.

/tg/ - in a supposedly secular world, we still flame each other to promote our ideas of God.

>>9316929
This.
Also: we probably don't have enough time to prepare potions from herb, unless the old sage has some of them already prepared. For this time, we should stick to the old methods.
At the very best, we can put some "undead-destroying" herbs on the arrows/spears. That would be awesome.

protip:
OP is away, this thread has been archived, so I suggest making a new thread when he comes back.

>>9317037
Starting off, thank you for saying something useful, second, shamblers are a joke in such small numbers, we could probably just bludgeon the things to.. death? with sticks if we wanted and we're probably be successful.

>>9317054
yes yes, we know, but we can discuss til then.

rolled 13 = 13

Hey OP. Job well done. You're a good man.

OP here

and it's a troll

Bumping just in case OP returns.

- shrine/well to Goddess Usulus complete

- the followers of Goddess Usulus and those bearing her symbol feel a strength course through their bodies.

-Anything bearing the symbol of goddess Usulus gains strength and health and acts as a living ward to unnatural forces.

-Bridge tower complete

- Hunting party dispatched with village elder at the frount, he carries a potent sign of goddess Usulus.

- undead are utterly destroyed as they are cut down by thrown spears and hit with treated arrowheads.

- communal houseing complete

-new houseing begining.

+ word has spread of an opposing force to the darkness in the south, scared outsiders flock to your village and are greeted into the community.

+new arrivals are put to work in the fields and into construction roles

+town guards are established.

+ village elder takes 2 apprentices.

>>9318488

We must be careful about accepting the new villagers. Make sure they are watched. How many are we taking?

Divert the rest to the village to our east.

>>9318488
This is awesome on so many levels that it almost hurts.

OH GOD, YOUR SPELLING MAKES ME RAGE.

In order to test the purity of the newcomers, they are all required to wash themselves ritually with water from the sacred well.

Hopefully this will purge those who want to harm us devotees of the river.

Meanwhile, build boat, and make wards of the goddess which will be hung from our fence against undead marauders.

Tgrhshgdgshtrczbdfrgedgefbdvgs

>>9318528
This.

>>9318488

This makes me smile and remember back when quests were still expected to have artwork. Good times.

>>9318528

This, and also - we must ask the villagers to learn more about the darkness in the south.

Is there any way we can build a priesthood of Usulus?

>>9318488

>>9318488
I think that erecting a gatehouse on the far side of the bridge would serve our defenses well. Maybe in the future it could expand into something grander. Either way, I think a primitive gatehouse with some totems to Usulus would be useful.

We should work an a series of irrigation/worshiping streams to act as a barrier arround the town

still need a storehouse or we'll never survive the winter ;_;

We really need to work on our defences.

If we dig a moat around our settlement we can let the blessed water of our goddess encircle us and protect us from our foes.

maybe a smallseries of interweaving stream bits that come off from the river wrapping around the south of the town (is it the south? could you add a compass to the map?) with a wood part covering one section as a small draw bridge, and continues to the left of the town

well the irrigation would be practical in two senses then

>>9318702
Great idea.
Better cultivation? Check.
Defense against undead? Check.

that fence should also include that watch tower into the town so we have a good way of seeing those undead from a distance, also set up a practice range so the hunters can teach basic archery

We should totally do this in a turn based base-building style. It'd be a little redundant if everyone participated in the construction of every village, and then crush all the others in a majority vote action. Can we split up the posters by the villages they support? This obviously won't affect anything now, but I'm just saying:
>inb4 SHABOTH THE FORETOLD RAPES THE WORLD because everyone wanted him to.

We should summon an earth elemental to help us with tree felling.

>>9318856
...Do we need an Earth Elemental to chop down 9 trees?

Also, we should try and get some better equipment for our hunters and guards. Trading herbs is an option.

- the living wards of Goddess Usulus adorn all defensive structures

- small apprentice structure complete next to elders hut

- new arrivals to the village now have to walk under a powerfull Goddess rune constructed by the the elder and his apprentices

- wheat and apple crop is maturing

-many of the village now prefer fruit and leaves over meat when eating.

+ the water from the well grants strength when drunk or added to food.

+ 2 new pigs have been born

+ 5 rabits have been caught in the snare traps.

+the well of Goddess Usulus is gaining power.

- second watch tower complete

>>9318939
And to protect us from the invaders.

>>9318795
How would you reliably split people up? People will support multiple villages, and even if everyone used a name or triip there'd be people who switched back and forth to maximize their votes.

>>9318963

Perhaps we should go on with the moat plan... just a circular ditch, filled with the blessed water, would be good.

Does magic exist in this world? If not, is there any way we can engage the services of a blacksmith? I mean, just to make weapons and tools without having to go to another village.

Also, again let's ask the refugees about the south and what's chasing them here.

Pray to godess Usulus for a support of an earth elemental, since earth is closely tied to fertility.

>>9318963
Make a large tower near the town's center with the symbol atop, or and with enough holy water to cascade down the sides.

*********
the villagers from the south and east were forced from their small towns as SHEBOTH THE FORTOLD came into being in the south.

we can trade blessed items, protection from the biggest threat in the area has to get us something right?

>>9319056
THIS YES

>>9319063
yes we can

there is another trading day in 2 days time, the villagers can put together their goods and wares etc

>>9319055
>Pray to goddess Usulus for the support of an earth elemental, since earth is closely tied to fertility.
Fixed, dammit I'm sleepy.

>>9319056

This. Perhaps somehow just elevate the well/fountain we have now if it'd be easier.

>>9318963
- Irrigation / Protection system using a little canals system.
- Hire blacksmith / trade goods for better equipment.
- Gather informations about the undead plague.

Irrigation from the river for our gardens/crops.

>>9319121
>>9319067
>>9319056

Put it next to the river. Have a large waterwheel bring water from the river to the top of the tower to be purified, then dropped back into the river to flow south.

Temple to the Godess? A few building for our craftsman. A dock and a boat. I think we should start building on the other side of the river too so if the bad guys comes from south we can burn down the bridge and be safe for a little time to coordinate the defense.

>>9319159
So we'd fight the evil to the south with a constant flow of holy water?

Genius!

>>9319159
>>9319159
>>9319159
>>9319159
>>9319159
>>9319159
THIS.
HOLY WATERMILL FOR THE WIN.

Teach everyone how to swim
In addition to irrigation, start a fish breeding area- what we take from nature, we give back.
Plant a tree next to the well, make that shit GROW

>>9319216
>>9319202
>>9319159
Sounds good, but let's be ready for retaliation by the worshippers of Shaboth. Maybe make it so the symbol on top can fire a beam attacking undead and demons?

Or, hoses and pumps connected to watchtowers to spray holy water at evil invaders. Plus a moat of holy water.

OP, how the hell are you drawing this all so fast!?

>>9319341
Still need something for when the water won't work. Multiple summoned water or earth elementals as guardians might work, or turning the local trees into protective treants.

We have a few militia members and guards but even with the holy strength they get I don't trust their ability against the evil-infused cultists.

>>9319375
THIS.
Who is your teacher OP? I need to get me some of that.

>>9319382

Is there any way we can increase that holy strength, though, which is why maybe we should have a priesthood. Paladins of Usulus!

holyfuckthisisthebesthingiveeverread.jpeg

>>9319341
>Or, hoses and pumps connected to watchtowers to spray holy water at evil invaders. Plus a moat of holy water.
Holy water hoses vs demon dogs.
>BAD DOG! *SPRAY*

I chortled.

Pray to Usulus for a water unicorn.
WE WILL FIGHT THE UNCLEAN ONES WITH THE POWER OF HARMONY!

- blacksmith construction begun

- blacksmith brought in from tradeing day to apprentice a local villager.

- tower of Goddess Usulus being constructed

- trading healing goods for high quality fitted armour.

>>9319496
Start taming animals from the forest, give the followers of darkness no servants to corrupt.

>>9319496
Before tower construction proceeds, move tower site next to river for waterwheel tower of holy water. Shouldn't take too long.

construct storage house for food

>>9319496

Man, the art is beautiful. Thanks so much for just being here, OP.

That said - is the blacksmith staying here for good? If not we had better ask him to help us with more advanced weapons like swords - make a bunch before he goes.

what program do you use to draw this OP?

>>9319496
Construct water mill and a bakery for the upcoming wheat.
Construct barns for the pigs and the rabbits.

I say we start a small construction on the other side of the river. Just a hut and a fence would do for now, with the ultimate objective being an expansion across, or a place for travelers/traders to stay.

>>9319582
Swords, shields and armor for the guard, I'd say. Divine protection is fine, but the guys better start training.

- tower of The Great Goddess Usulus has been realised.

+ all elders and apprentice elders can summon elemental spirits and bind them to their will.

+ no unpure creature can come within the bounds of the village.

- blacksmith complete
-elder blacksmith now arrived into town and wants to stay.

+ ability to craft high quality armour

+ elders can imbue armours with the blessed touch of Usulus, all armour gives the wearer the ability to bind an elemental to their will.

Again, pray to the goddess for an earth elemental.

>>9319753
>+ all elders and apprentice elders can summon elemental spirits and bind them to their will.
Concentrate on a FUCKHUEG elemental to battle the EVIL FORCES to the south.

>>9319753
MY FACE WHEN DAT TOWER

High quality armour you say? Well, let's do just that.
Also, a more solid wall adorned with engraved giant holy symbols or that.

>>9319753
declare war to the village in the south (who had awoke the deamon god)

>>9319753

We should send an apprentice, an elemental, and a hunter or two to scout south and see whats up. It'd be helpful to know how big and immediate a threat these people might be, and the group should be able to make it back fine.

>>9319753
In the upper left corner, next to the farms, start construction on a place to commune with elemental spirits. Sure we could just bind them and use them for battle, but having them be an integral part of our culture will serve us better in the long run.

Shouldn't a good-natured and farsighted settlement concentrate on defense and self-reliability instead of declaring wars?

>>9319835
Hmm maybe just not yet.

>>9319881
This.

>>9319753
create water spirits to do dirty work.
transform all inhabitants into water-beings
floot the hole continent

>>9319820
Oh, and building those walls, don't forget to replace that bridge with a drawbridge, and grate the river.

Using elementals, dig a network of irrigation channels to bring water to our crops and defend against our foes. Eventually we can grow into a canal-city, Venice style.

>>9319888
Second.

>Offer succor throughout the land
>Expand rapidly, installing progressive policies to ensure that every being within your community is safe and healthy
>cleanse the taint from the land through force of theism - force their god to submit to Usulus' will.

>>9319942
yeah, nice!

>>9319942

Channels and moats sound good. Seconding this.

>>9319942
that's it.

>>9319957
cont'd
>With the power gained from subsumption of another god, begin a pantheon to any god willing to submit to your god's will. Spread throughout the land and ascend to minor deities upon death for your good work. Expand your supernatural realm throughout the cosmos, bringing the good will of Usulus to all.

>>9319942
Seconding as well, moats and irrigation do sound nice.

>>9319809

I think It'd be pretty funny if the OP decided something in particular was too hard to draw and just ignored the request.

This still looks like a meagre example of a village. Sure, maybe you have some farms and a blacksmith, but how is all the food and shit distributed? You need either a general goods store or a mayor (socialist planner) or some shit that distributes your goods to whoever needs them.

Plus a storehouse so you won't starve over the winter

Plus your people might want a pub so they have somewhere to go to pick up da laydeez

>>9319942
This.

Hmm, should we be killing all those trees?
If there's no way to gather wood otherwise, at least make sure some more are planted some distance from the village. Arranging the plants or their branches in a holy symbol of Usulus could be a good idea, too.

build a marketplace

- small trader settlement constructed to the north east.

- elemental summoned by elder and aprentices

+ blacksmith is making high quality armour for all town guard and elders

+ founder of town is knighted under the hand of Goddess Usulus herself.

+ armours have been blessed.

+ trading with outer towns increased,

+ Algor Hewn , the old village to your east has sworn allegence to the fratery of the goddess and will send additional troops and resourses to bulster towns defences.

>>9320022
While I agree on a storehouse (or a vault, or something), think of our social structure as an anarchist commune.

Why hasn't somebody coded a real video game that plays like this? I mean, there would certainly be a lot of things they would have to code, but if the graphics were slimmed down a bit, it wouldn't be to large of a game.

>>9320062
You must construct additional PYLONS!

>>9320079
graphics are easy, thinking is hard.

I'm not even trolling.

>>9320079
Uh, bro. Settlers? Knights and Merchants? Anno 1404? B&W, after all?
Sure they are not nearly as detailed or don't have nearly as much freedom, but that's videogames against freeform for you.

>>9319942
> Using elementals, dig a network of irrigation channels to bring water to our crops and defend against our foes. Eventually we can grow into a canal-city, Venice style.

> Venice style.
do it :)

>>9320117
Uh-huh, that.
I believe OP's noticed our suggestions earlier in the thread, though.

>>9320101
I've just began coding. I have no clue how to do graphics at all (hard), but thinking is easy.

Even with that though, graphics are huge money, and file-size hogs.

>>9320162
sry, i just wanted to push that idea up (in fact im just a fanboy of venice-styled towns..)

>>9320117
This please.

can we have ships?

>>9320062
Construct hanging gardens around well and tower of Usulus.

>>9320164

What I meant is that graphics are well understood; the technology is all there. Throw enough space, files, artists and money at the problem and it gets solved.

AI, on the other hand...

Yo how far is the ocean from our little river town? I'm thinking we use the power of Usulus to attract some mythical water creatures to aid us in the inevitable fight against SHABOTH THE FORETOLD.

>>9320221
Oh, yeah, I guess that's right.

But still, why can't somebody with the persistence of Toady One (but actually a good coder), without aspergers, build a strategy game?

If we need good trading, roads must be constructed for the carts. I'm not talking cobblestone all of a sudden (although that'd be preferable), but something has to be done of the same effect.
And a marketplace/trading post, of course. Maybe a pier for some trading ships, too.

Look, if we're being faced by a threat to the south... why don't we send our own people to the north? Scouts, maybe preachers.

Tell whoever we find in the north that a great evil has awakened; our village is a bulwark against this evil. Anyone who doesn't want to be made into a fire sacrifice to some devil should wash his/her face with the holy river, and swear devotion to Usulus.

For when the waters move, all things are made clean; and when the waters stand, all thoughts are made clear.

>>9320255
Because you need aspergers to code a strategy game alone, mayhaps?

Expand elders to a sort of all-round clerical-type. Herbmage, Elemental master, councilor... Then expand the people who can train to be elders to 'anyone', and make a trade out of it. 7 years of apprenticeship, upon completing you learn the more powerful secrets.

Have a subclass of elders for orphans and the homeless - they would treat the wounded, gather herbs, to handiwork for the town/county they're working for, and in return they receive food and shelter, companionship, a fallback.

Basically allowing the homeless and unfortunate to avoid starvation and poverty while still contributing, and gaining life lessons for when they're well-off enough to learn an independant trade, or well learned enough to get a head start on their elder apprentice-ship.

>>9320284
Gah! Why must the world be so cruel.

>>9320302
by "subclass ouf elders for" I meant "out of."

>>9320302
Oh, on that notice. Build an orphanage, help the victims of the southerns.

>>9320302
Hell yes.

I think we should find a way to make the riverwater that passes our village holy, and let it flow down to the south to counter the evil forces. We'll make them force their hand against our defenses.

>>9320386
Hmm, maybe build a chapel on a bridge, medieval-Europe style?

- village expands north with fields springing up as new arrivals put down simple houseing with the aid of the other townspeople.

- Elementals quickly irrigate the village with the enchanted water of the goddess.

-elementals begin patrolls of the forrests.

>>9320416
Hell yeah.

Plant more crops now that we have irrigation, have priests bless them.
Build the infrastructure needed to make our own food - you know, the whole mill-bakery-storage, butcher-leatherworks-tanner-sausage maker production chains.

>>9320416

>>9320460
That's taking too much from the land. We should eat grass, and humans. Sustainable AND envoronmental.

>>9320416
Unharness poor horses from that cart stuck over an irrigation channel.

>>9320480
> envonnurnmental nyoroo ~3

In a more serious note: please to be doing crop rotations. Don't actually make deserts out of monoculture, that is bad.

>>9320416
Summon water sprites to patrol the irrigation channels.

>>9320506

Yes this is important. Grains and beans. Then veg. That would also make for a healthier diet.

If we want to fish, though, we should make dried fish. Both to keep better, and to sell. The fish are the gift of our goddess, we should honour her by eating them.

Rebuild the village center, replace the hovels with an actual house of worship.

Build the tower higher.

SPREAD THE LIGHT FROM THE TOPS OF THE HEAVENS!

>>9320527
Actually, now that we have irrigation channels, we could try breeding carps in a pond. But we need
1) pond
2) carps

>>9320416
To prepare for our next trading excursion, make some holy items: Small glass flasks that bear the mark of Usulus, fill them with the holy water from the well, sting these up in necklaces. Bowls that purify food, or can be used for washing. All that kinda good stuff.

>>9320577
>Carp
>Breed

Are you mad? We'll lose the whole fortress, the dwarves can't handle th-

Oh wait, different game.

>>9320591
Trade them for hen and dogs.
Train dogs for guardian duty.

>>9320577

Alternatively we could do the southern Chinese way, and just let fish live in the canals; then dredge the canals for manure for the crops.

Expand the river so it has a bigger branch extending into the forest, if anything wants to approach, it shall be fully saturated with holy water well before it reaches our walls.

Make little votive offerings to Usulus in the form of tiny boats made from leaves or woven straw, with gifts or candles inside. Set them to float down the river, and eventually they sink and pass into the goddess' hands. Do this regularly.

The shrine of the Great Goddess Usulus begins to rumble as a blinding light erupts from the tower.

The glorious figure of Ulusus shines into being , delivered to the world through our deeds.

All who look upon her are converted to the light of Ulusus.All who bear her symbol upon her arrival are blessed with everlasting life.

This land is now hers.
ok that was a good one. probably polar oposite to the last session.

and someone said worshipping the water was primitive,HA!

>>9320714
HOLY SHIT DUDE

>>9320714

Pretty much, yeah, since I think we realised how much shit we'd caused for ourselves with the whole demon-summoning thing in the last thread and were frantically backpedaling.

In b4 an epic battle.

>>9320714
And she has a nice rack, too.

>>9320765
of course she has a nice rack, she's supposed to be a goddess

>>9320714

HAIL! ALL HAIL THE GODDESS!

And all hail the OP too. Fantastic, and after the previous one this is a nice good end.

>>9320775
Next time I want to summon the goddess of technology. Chances are she has small tits.

>>9320714
>that was a good one

this thread was fucking epic.

save all the images and watch the town develop one image at a time its crazy.

>>9320809
Hephaestus is male.

>>9320765
>>9320775

What is this dread fascination you 4channers have with busoms?

I can't wait till OP zooms out and we start connecting towns and shit.

>>9320714
Fucking awesome, OP.

Also, hot.

>>9320809
>>9320852
SO SAD

I sent a new request to the archive, so the last few updates won't be lost despite autosage.

>>9320839
>>save all the images and watch the town develop one image at a time its crazy.

Doing now. Expecting awesome.

What... What pantheon is being used for these?

>>9320902
As a matter of fact, suptg auto-updates the archived threads once in a while.

>>9320714
Will there be more, OP?

>>9320939
Only every two hours. Leaving a good chance that an autosaging thread can have the last updates not caught before 404.

if only we'd worshiped fire, we could have had flaming canals! and trendy jumpsuits

Man, OP, you didn't show us how main character looks like now
