Location will of course be where your party lands. First consensus with enough votes (arbitrarily decided by me) will win.

myceanea, swamp ruins.

I'll have to go with gnomes then for this setting. Jungle. Hack, burn, and reclaim it for the industry and the pioneers.

Hm. I liked how much there was to read in each update for Fairy Princess.

>>37650768
Mmm, that's good to hear. I'm mostly struggling with how story driven I want it, my writing style lends itself a lot to some pretty stupid railroading, but at the same time I don't wanna end up with 2 whole threads of essentially setup for the actual civ game like in Fairy, I dunno. Thinking about it still.

>>37650846
Aintchu in the middle of your own civ?

For location i'll go with floating isles or living moon unless someone has a better idea

>>37650901
Done for the night, but it is going AWESOME

>>37650757
>>37650864
>>37650883
Three for Gnomes, so you'll be Gnomish settlers. So far for location:
Jungle: 1
Swamp Ruins: 1
Valley: 2
Living Moon: 2

>>37650921
Yes it is! Liking how youre doing the angels.
I run Lizard-folk right now.

>>37650925
If we're doing "Living Moon" someone will have to explain it to me a bit further, I think I have an idea of what it is but unless it's up to me how to take it, I don't wanna make anyone mad.

>>37650958
Valley
Save yourself the pain

>>37650921
^ Also top-tier civ game right here

>>37650957

Did lizard folk have a day off?

>>37650957
Some events have made mine Civ into an Expanding universe civ. The celestial arch ended rather epicly so now it is a gnoll arch

>>37650768
>>37650859
>>37650975
Valley it is! You will be brave (greedy), civilized (imperialist), colonizing (conquering) Gnomes, here to expand their Empire to the new world! Gonna set technology at a steampunky level, starting writing now.

>>37650991
Yeah, I came home almost 3 hours late. Felt like I wouldnt be able to give my players what they deserve.
>>37651014
My Giants were going to end up becoming an empire In my other civs, if they had survived and tripped my Win conditions.

>>37651014
Well rolling a 100 and two 94s on artifact creation an do that.

>>37651055
Epic rolls resulted in an artifact to be created that results in a Half-orc holy empire.
The gnoll arch takes place right before and during artifact creation. Kind of aiming for maybe magictek gnolls, but who knows how it will go

>>37651025
Woot

>>37651105
Fancy, I like it!
I run my civs pretty punishing and my players didnt advance in any weapons tech. Then went out to fight a warparty of orcs. Did really well but in the end 9 Giants cant fight 200someodd organised and armored Orcs

Welp, Thanks for the blue balls I guess?

Then some conversation then. You fags seen the master domain quest right? They don't seem to run that well with a half a dozen civs going at once.
But I was thinking, why not just 2 civs were posters can take roles of minions and such.

Hope it was worth the wait

I watched Sir Pickeringworth III stand in front of me, looking out the front viewport of his rather magnificent ship. He turned to me, a meticulously kempt beard, tinged with grey lined his mouth, bushy eyebrows framed the ocular lenses he was always seen wearing, and his immaculate uniform, despite over five months of travel, still shone black and gold, with all the trappings of an admiral of the Great Engine. Looking at him then, I could never have suspected the events that were to unfold.
"You see that land, Mr. Heddlesbatch?" He asked, gesturing out the viewport with a wide sweep of his arm.
"This is the land that will truly expand the Great Engine's reach to the whole world! And I truly have been blessed by the Cogs to have been given the responsibility of the mission." Perhaps knowing I would be recording these events, he allowed a single tear to roll down his lined face, looking for all the world like a majestic, proud eagle.
We sat in the Admiral's quarters situated above the command deck, a finely furnished room filled with noteable antiques and replicas of famous Gnomish artifacts. He was, as you all know, the man leading our first colonizing effort. Finely distinguished in the wars against the Orcish Conglomerate and the Ursine-Elvish Confederacy, it was widely believed that no better man could have been chosen to lead the effort. I was there acting as a historian and record-keeper for the journey, this book which you are reading now is a composition of my rough notes taken at the time, eyewitness accounts from fellow expedition members, and after-the-fact studies.

>>37651567
It's usually worth it. Stick around.

>>37651567
Valid point, that is why I break up long posts and keep track of time when I'm writing

Our ship had been sailing for five months at the time that the New World came into sight, it was the pride of the fleet, a several hundred ton behemoth of wood and steel, powered by the finest and most efficient coal-burners our Engineers and Magitekniks had designed thus far (though of course primitive by today's standards, it was quite impressive at the time). It carried five hundred-something of the finest of Gnomish society, from a small contingent of soldiers, to peasants searching to eek out a new life, to the finest Engineers and Magitekniks.
Prior to our arrival, several exploratory expeditions had been made, and they had plotted a course in such a way that our ship would land in the most fertile crescent of land they had come across, and in this case, it was a beautiful valley! Though I was reluctant, upon landfall, Sir Pickeringworth dragged me along behind him for the historic planting of the flag (which I might add, contrary to popular belief, has not been blowing in the same spot since the colony's inception, it's current location is several hundred meters west of the original spot, as it kept falling over in the sand). It was a grandiose affair that I, while very studiously taking notes at the time seemed to, did not actually care about. Immediately following the planting of the flag, the large drawbridge at the bow of the ship crashed down into the sand, effectively stranding us in the New World. All according to plan though! Over the next while the ship was to be desconstructed, and each room on board was to be unloaded and then plopped down in a suitable location. The construction was very clever in that way, the colony itself was already built, it merely had to be put into it's location!

After the intial bit of confusion and a rather rousing (if stuffy) speech from Sir Pickeringworth, we went to work. The peasants were sent out to begin cultivating a large patch of land, wherein they would work and likely live too. The work on that first week went swimmingly! The lower classes were in high spirits (largely because many of them were indeed former incarcerated criminals, and their records had been erased upon the undertaking of this journey), and as such managed to get a large portion of the fields done! It would still be another week or two before we could be entirely self-sustaining in terms of cultivated food and livestock, but it was a magnificent start!
(Farm Fields +50%)

Also over that first week, our benevolent Admiral had the engineers begin to bring down housing for the masses (though I suspect the engineers made a point to bring their own cabins off the ship first). Soon enough large suites were rolling down the drawbridge on steel wheels, and being plopped down in a nicely designed villages square (designed by yours truly, and in fact is still the center of that city!). Despite the progress, it took significantly more material than anticipated to ensure the houses were level (one rather dimwitted gnome-child suggested that perhaps them being level wasn't as important as our material supply, nonsense!), and doubts began to grow about whether we'd be able to create the whole colony solely from the ship.

As the second week dawned, Sir Pickeringworth seemed rather disappointed overall with the lack of, well exploration of this new world. He personally assembled a team of soldiers, and with a shouted "Tally-Ho!" left me to oversee the colony in his absence. He arrived back several days later in a smashing good mood.
"You see, Mr. Heddlesbatch, while we were out exploring along the edge of this so fertile a valley, we discovered that it is not only rich in life, but also in minerals! Look at this!" And he held out to me a chunk of the purest iron I had seen in my life! I leaned over and pulled down my highest ocular lense.
"Well, this has to be the most beautiful natural iron I've seen in my life!" I exclaimed.
"Isn't it just?"
And with that we had secured an iron mine. We had several professional miners with us that could hold down our supply for a short time once our boat supplies ran out, but we all agreed it would be wise to begin automaton production as soon as workshops were finished, though for that to truly work we would need a steady supply of coal!
The general layout of the valley was also discovered, where we were was the narrowest part, and it widens out to more clear land to the North East, and a forest to the South East. The sides of the valley are sheer rock faces with large tree cover where it levels out into ground once more. Several soldiers swore left and right they saw movement in the treeline at the top of the valley. 'Pfft' we thought at the time, 'Pure superstition!', we would soon find how wrong we were...
(Surroundings discovered)

During that week, the peasants continued, in high spirits, to tend to the fields, one more week and sure as the Great Engine continues to churn out smoke, we would be self-sustaining for food!

The next week was largely uneventful. The peasants managed to finish their fields despite heavy rainfall and rather dismal weather for this time of the year. Morale wasn't quite as high as it had started out but, thank the Cogs, we were self-sufficient!
(Farm Fields +25%)

I noticed that, now that our food was self-sufficient, we were running dangerously low on water! I quickly organized a system wherein we could efficiently get two weeks worth of water with one weeks labour (I'm not one to brag, but this system is indeed still in use in many parts of our Empire wherein they have not extensively drilled to the groundwater yet!).
(Water +2 Weeks)

A note on the writing. You may have noticed at this point that the population statistics haven't changed yet! In such a joyous atmosphere as the voyage wouldn't it have made sense for several little gnome children to be conceived? Well, yes, and several indeed were (one of my own was in fact, I was much younger and significantly more virile at the time). However, due to manpower limitations (a.k.a, I was the only censor). I could only provide a new census at the end of every season, so my statistics on population will only be updated then. Regardless though, this is the last entry in the first volume, which I will entitle "Landfall" (rather epic, don't you think?), pick up the next volume in which I will detail our first encounter with the savage natives of this strange new world!
