new thread again already..?

***** bridge over river for more trade

>>9354984
seconded, small bridge to expand more land

***** Dispatch some apprentice apothecaries to search the surrounding area for herbs of a medicinal nature.

start archery school

**** commission learning hall for crossbows?

- tavern needs a name

*** The Learned Swine

****Send scribes to study ancient civilization ruins

****Dam the river

>>9355025
The Fox And Tackle.

Add a second level to the learning hall

Long drop some distance away from the village

Tavern should be named either after pigs or after sciencey stuff

I propose At the Swineherd's

****its about time we had a way to defend ourselves. Train a small town guard, using spears and cross bows.

>>9355025
This.

-Expand housing
-Grow some hemp for industry, and weed for trade and relaxation
-Longboats
-Statue of Lost Scout with school expansion, resulting in courtyard.
-Literate Pig Heraldry also on the tavern sign?)
-Dam

***** Train archers
***** Dam the river, use the dam as a bridge.

***Send the scribe and an apprentice to study any evidence of civilization in the area around the stone in the northeast. Dig into the soil surrounding the stone and catalog and markings or writing.

>>9355047

add

>>9355029

>>9354956
*****Start fishing and setting animal traps in the outskirts of the village. I want a surplus of food for trading.

Are any of the villagers talented artists? We could have a museum at some point, and become the cultural hub of the region. What's the literacy rate like here?

>>9355047
How 'bout we make that huge rock into the statue?

>>9355039
Brick shit house!!!

Okay, I believe we all agreed on a water-powered forge and loom, using the power of the waterwheel. Modify it, if necessary.

What we don't agree on is the fate of the river - dam it, bridge it, or build a dock. I still think that building a bridge or a dam is hell of work for a fast-flowing and deep river; so I'm for trade docks.

>>9355063
Anyone can get food. Our strengths are in crafting and manufacturing metal goods. These will be worth far more.

>>9355069
IIRC, the huge rock has engravings on it or some shit. I expect fucking with the rock could lead to a GOD END. We shouldn't fiddle with the big rock until we are the dominant military and magical power in the region(assuming magic exists in this setting).

>>9355072
Seconding trade docks.

Dislike the dam idea.

>>9355084
The rock has evidence of a past civilization. It is also quite possible that they recorded knowledge that we should investigate.

>>9355072
Dock and bridge can be incorporated if we make a drawbridge.

Wont damming the river make our water wheel redundant? For that matter, is the river anywhere near big enough to warrant it?

What we really need to do is start researching high yield explosives for the inevitable invasion.

Guys! DO NOT dam the river! You'd make it slow as hell and our waterwheel won't be of much use.

Have the priest construct himself a tower on the outskirts, and try to get into wizardry.

>>9355102
I don't think the priest has been a priest for many turns.

best to know where the river goes for making docks.

personally as there's a "skinner" listed, I'd say that you should be looking at making a tanning pit in the bottom-right corner, so you're able to get leathers, and the waste/effluent can go downstream from the town, not into the water supply.

regarding waterwheels, over-shot waterwheels are far more powerful than undershot ones as you have at the moment. for a forge, a more effective engineering solution to a dam would be to create a diversion to a pond, which can flow water over the wheel on a mill.


oh, and OP, I do llike the art style.

***alchemist should experiment with different components

10/10

This game kicks ass.

>>9355102
We don't have a priest.

>>9355102
We have 0 priest man.

**** Knock over stone onto its side and carve it into the shape of a pig

Archived this thread as well.

Okay, so the general populace is against a dam. Ah well, let's try something else.

Explore the ruins.

>>9355125
Not until is has been properly investigated dammit! You are throwing away the knowledge of the ancients.

Actually, damming rivers is good in two cases:
1) in the mountains, where a high dam does not mean flooding everything
2) if you have a brook too little or slow to spin the mill's wheel.
Neither is the case here. We don't need a dam.

>>9355112
Ok, this is even better than the dam

Herd more pigs. Bacon for everyone!

***** dig irrigation canals

>>9355099
No, build a research facility around it. And a library. If possible, breed bigger pigs(both for better meat yield and for use as mounts).

***** - mine that mine like mad
- lots more housing
- learned swine tavern, do it, do it now.
- train a small town guard and trade whatever crops and some pigs if necessary for acceptable (bronze, perhaps) armour and weapons for them.
- bridge, and exploration in that direction
- please tell us what sort of ore we have found in the mine.
- have the scholarly types put their mind to enhancing farming through equipment or whatever
- trade for some beasts of burden if our pigs arent sufficient ( we need aid plowing, afterall.
- expand farms a little, consider trading for other animals to farm (chickens, rhinoceri, etc.)

>>9355123
>>9355124
Deeeeeeerp.
Well, we could still try luring in a novice wizard or something. I don't want to seem too centered on a single idea, but we do need some kind of supernatural force to defend ourselves against god-worshipers, and since we're not following a religion of any type, arcane magic seems to be the only alternative.

>>9355182
NO WE DON'T DUMB ASS

Needs arena for gladiator fights, plays, and pig races.

****Craft ballistas, post them on strategic positions so they cover most of the town's sorroundings.

>>9355193
WIZARDS ARE NOT PRIESTS SHITFUCK. Some oldfag with robes and a staff hurling fireballs is VERY DIFFERENT from SUMMONING GOJIRA.

>>9355170
>rhinoceri

For... Rhino cavalry?!

how about we hold a commemorative festival of some kind in honour of our lost scout and ofc in honour of our beloved pigs? itll keep the townsfolk happychappy

>>9355182
We don't even know if there is arcane magic in the setting

>>9355212
>SUMMONING GOJIRA.
Why did that make me laugh so hard?

lets research something to make our pig grow larger
more meat, more leather and maybe the idea of riding- boars is not as stupid as it sounds

>>9355215
I like this. Literate Pig Festival sounds like a great cultural experiment :D.

>>9355193
I'd like to hear your alternative suggestions. The super-power of tech? How long till we get anything capable of defeating something like a dark emissary like the one from the previous village? Like a dozen years of industrial revolution, eh?

>>9355212
HEY, SHITBIRD, SHUT THE FUCK UP

We're tech based in this village. Fuck magic. Fuck god. Fuck you.

>>9355214
well, it WOULD be awesome, and we have some plains large enough for them to graze on, but i really just couldnt think of any animals worth having that were reasonble but not generic farmstock (ideally, id like to see us breed giant hedgehogs, but whatever...)

>>9355222
OP pretty much said in the 3rd town
"If you write it in well, i will draw it in"

>>9355205

This would actually be feasible if we had any guard towers. Unless you're planning on putting them on ground.

>>9355232
Warmages on warhogs OF WAR

>>9355222
There are gods walking the earth, stomping on villagers and raising them into their undead legions. There's probably magic or psionics, we just need to get some of the peasant chuds educated and high enough to unlock either of them.

Related.

I still say tanning pits to make leathers which could be traded, or used to equip guards with makes sense.

***** aprove the building of the healers hut

>>9355237
Go play Nonmagical Atheist Fortress somewhere else.

>>9355237
Tech-centered does not mean "only using tech EVER FOREVER".
What's wrong with you, bro? Why the foamy mouth? Chill, it's just a game.

Perhaps using arcane magic as some sort of Magitech isn't that far from our original plans. These threads are all about compromise, mind you.

>>9355301
If we have a wizard apprentice, he would have to be in a tower, outside of the bounds of the village.

>>9355277
seems reasonable, what sort of things aside from animals does tanning require? if we lack the required mats, we sadly lack the tradegoods as of yet to begin trading for every little thing we lack. ofc if we have all we need, tanning is a great idea.
*****how about we invite the other civs we are aware of to join us at our festival? we have a great big field where we can host it and lots of pigs for leather tenting, and if we have something like hemp, we can make tents out of that instead.

>>9355336
it need salt or natron for drying

>>9355301
how about advanced alchemy? we can fuse that with magic and tech easily enough, surely? enchanting ballistae to fire ever-burning ballistae coated in butane, that sort of thing. i cant honestly think of anything good with it right now though.

Come on, guys, look at it logically. What can highly industrialized society do for us? Let us keep a well-armed well-trained army, which makes up a larger percent of the populace compared to the non-industrialized societies. It also can possibly lead to tech advances like siege machines and crossbows.

Now ask yourself a question - what use are all those against an army of undead with a flying cleric tossing fireballs left and right, huh? Stone walls can help, as can well-placed ballista arrows - but we're still a long way from those.

I suggest going the route somewhat similar to the Tower in HoMM3 - using magic to power up tech and vice versa.

>>9355363
Greek fire, too. Maybe some basic explosives...

>>9355366
OR we could use tech to make magic.

>>9355301
>>9355366
Look alot of us don't want to be so magically based alright. Plus we have no idea what the magic level of this world is so we're trying for technology. Compromise man. /Tg./ loves dwarf fortress. We like to make retarded plans that might end in failure because it is so much more exciting then playing it safe.

how about focus on infrastructure?

Okay, so this is what we should add to the list:

-Search around for a swamp so we can find some pitch
-Build a tannery
-Attempt to contact the old seaside village (given that we're refugees from there) to gain salt
-Build balistas and cover the perimeter around the village.

The thing is, we kinda decided or no temples or believing in some relatively unimportant deity that would grant us only minor bonuses in form of blessed weapons and whatnot.

>>9355410
>****invent magical teleportation device?

>>9355414

drop the ballista, and get a pallisade up first

>>9355399
Personally you do not make up "a lot of us", mmmkay?
Or, replying with your own words, a lot of us want to explore the possibilities of arcane magic fused with Renaissance-level tech. Why should we go the pure tech way, when there's no way to make sure which opinion is shared by the majority?
Thus, I suggest keeping experiments to reasonable risk value.

If there are indigenous peoples(possibly non-human) in the area, we should try to ally with them. Also, start producing culture. We need paintings, songs, sculptures, and books up in this motherfucker. Have someone write a book detailing the history of the town thus far. Also, memorial festival for our lost scout(ultimately this could become some sort of annual memorial for the town's dead when people start dying).

>>9355399

/tg/ also loves WH40k, which is an epitome of tech fused with magic. Well, actually tech that somehow works but it's never really explained how, but that's magic for most of us.

OP - planning on postan any time soon?

>>9355399
DF will have magic, Toady One was direct about it. It already has dragons, after all.
Also, going tech+magic is already a step forward from god-worshiping easy mode, so there's your experiment you crave so much.

>>9355277
Support for tanning huts, currently all the leather is going to waste. We could use it to equip the people with more sturdy clothes then they have and perhaps the eventual military until we get ore going.

>>9355441
If we don't go pure-tech, then 9355399 would cry that we're being unrealistic. Town needs tiny pigs to be exported as pets. Also, DAT LITERACY RATE. Everybody in the town should be able to read, this would give us a vast advantage over everybody else.

>>9355447
>We need paintings, songs, sculptures, and books up
Paintings require paper, we don't have, songs would be nice, sculptures is a waste of too much man power and books is again paper.

>>9355498
Wooden shields for now?

>>9355454
We already had to deal with faggots begging for this to become Build A Hive City. I wouldn't mind such a quest, but that would have to be its own game.

>>9355516

***Make paper out of pulped wood, or pounded reeds.

>>9355516
Have the skinner turn the pig hides into parchment, then.

>>9355526
Actually, if we keep it entertaining for OP, there's hoping he'd do more of those threads, and we get to try out more civilization concepts.

>>9355517
Yeah, would only recruit a couple of people though. And only the farmers as they are probably stronger then most.

Also, we need more regular houses for the influx of people.

>>9355552
Hence why i want high -tech levels..since i heard the last one was very magicy

Also we need a grave yard

- academy of alchemism established as an addition to hall of learning.
- academy of engineering established as an addition to hall of learning

- oar discovered in mine

- Metalsmith commissioned to act as oar refinery and under construction

- projectile development building commissioned and under development

+ alchemist accademy mixes first tests of explsive compounds distilled from mushrooms.

+ town expanding

+ tall lookout post established

+ town guard organised, each house commissioned to produce 2 men to report for town guard training in the engineering guild.

- scribes dispatched to study rock launguages and ancient stones to the north

- Mine now complete and in production

- Blacksmith expanded into minor metal works

- as more metal becomes available it is utilized in building and construction.

Think clothing people should be a priority but that is a good idea for any leather that is left.

Ah. Steampunk.

>>9355586
>oar

*****Explore the ancient ruins!

>>9355582
So you weren't even there? And haven't read the archived threads? Son, I am disappointed in you.

And no, it wasn't magicky. It was clericky.

This has probably already been asked and answered, but what software does the OP use?
Also, OP, you draw really well.

>>9355610
>duplicate file entry
lol'd

>>9355516
Paper can be made out of hemp without fucking up our wood supply. Sculptures can be done by villagers in their spare time(carving little trinkets and figurines and stuff). The town could use an outdoor stage for traveling performers to display their talents. If we could get a bard to move into town at some point, THEY COULD SING GLORIOUS SONGS TO OUR PIGS.

>>9355517
Wooden shields sound ok for now, augment them with leather when its available. Add metal bracing when the blacksmith gets up to speed, and convert military over to steel gear as soon as we can.

>>9355582

Last one wasn't that magicky but more spiritey. Drugspiration and stuff like that.

>>9355586
Hell yes, you're the best Hall of Learning ever!

Which reminds me, do we have any flux materials (limestone, marble, chalk or some others) nearby so we can actually make steel?

>>9355586
Awesome, we have a drawbridge!

* projectile development makes breakthrough when combining their ideas with the new alchemism academy

***** Begin to construct stone fortications around the town. We need better defenses. A six-foot high stone wall should do.

>>9355586
Same guy who wanted a brick shit house. Seeing all this metal i realize we can store all the waste in a big metal drum and use the methane to run machines and heat the town. Piping it to major houses. Pig waste will be the main source of this methane!! Also FIRE.

>>9355628
We have a tavern for that.

***Water-powered forge and loom and that.
***Walls. Seriously, we already have the fortifications planned out.

>>9355586
***** pigskin clothes
***** irrigation system
***** archery range

>>9355537
Not sure if pigskin would make for good parchment. It would probably be better for making book covers out of.

***** CAN WE PLEASE TURN OUR PRIEST INTO A SCRIBE OR SOMETHING, HE'S SITTING AROUND BEING USELESS.

How about steam powered metal golems to help us defend and maybe chop trees etc etc...

>>9355674
>***** pigskin clothes and armor
oops. fixed.

>>9355669
Manure is better used as fertilizer till we can construct tubing (thus, for a very long time).

>>9355684
Stop this shit. WE HAVE NO PRIEST

have we confirmed if the shrooms do anything?

>>9355695
What? No. That's silly.

*****time to send a small group of armed trained men after the missing scout?
pig festival! perhaps this is a chance to show off our culture, have some plays such as the much loved "i want to be your piggywiggy" and "count pigula:scourge of the mushrooms", teach kids pig riding, have some racepigs, that sort of thing. we can use this opportunity to sell more things to visitors, merchandise is the number 1 moneymaker!
perhaps a mechanical pig, bucking bronco style?
also, explore across bridge, we could be missing out on valuable natural resources!
begin making metalware, horseshoes, pots, pans, simple jewelry, that sort of thing, also, small mechanical trinkets that spout pretty fire? (there, i think ive satisfied all of you!)

Methane Fire Wall:
For defense against big armies

>>9355719
You seem intent on turning our awesome village into an amusement part in ugly smalltown-america.

>>9355751
ohshit, i never thought "defensive pigpoo pits" would actually sound half practical!

>>9355731
Somehow, building walls has never hampered any medieval towns. Newcomers just built their homes around them, until enough of them were there to protect them with their own wall and so on.
Also, we have town guard.

>>9355672
Tavern is fine for small acts, but if this place becomes a BUSTLING HUB OF LEARNING, eventually someone's going to want to see a show outside the confines of the tavern. A Hellenic-style amphitheater(pic related) would be fairly easy to construct, and it would beautify the town. :3

>>9355766

But would smell horrible.

We should have the engineers start plotting and clearing land for a defensive wall of some kind....

Start with a palisade upgrade to a wall?

We should also have a designated latrine area.

Warehouse to store excess food.

>>9355798
Currently, there is no demand for that kind of big thinking.

But a paved road to the mines is in order.

>>9355798
>>9355798

I like your thinking sir.

But there isn't that much of a hillside for us to build on though... D:

>>9355787
Town guard wont help us against demons.
How about those metal golems please....
pretty please?

>>9355798
It wasn't easy to construct even for an advanced civilization like Greek or Roman, and they had more resources than we currently do.

>>9355214
this, FOR THE LOVE OF INDUSTRY so much this.
maybe big furry ones from the forest, or better yet(and more realistic) aurochs, that could also double as beasts of burden, we need those aswell like somebody pointed out,

*****catch wild aurochs from the forest and tame them for use in heavy labour and war

for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurochs

>>9355763
actually, i want anything but this, its just that festivals and such are probably the best way to entice people to our town at this time, we're a fledgling town, we havn't got much that others might want that they dont already have, if you can think of a less gimmicky way of reaching the same end, please, state it.

>>9355805
No not a poop pit. More along the lines we pipe it from a stored container into pipes lining the ground. No smell and only used in emergencies. 90% of the time it is off

>>9355819
Fuckoff with that creepy shit.

>>9355731
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. I figure if we have hemp for paper, we save our lumber for carpentry and construction. We could also grow a separate field for pipeweed(which would probably be appreciated by most of the villagers, especially the scholars).

Also,
>>9355657
:D

>>9355819
Townguard alone won't, but walls in conjunction with guards with finely made crossbows and siege machines on towers can.

Pig Methane Flamethrower towers and simple grapeshot cannons!

>>9355826
Advertise land grants. Send a messenger to seek out refugees. Give away a hoe, a bag of seeds and pig to every family that comes. Something that actually matters instead of "building culture Civ style".

>>9355818
Not like we couldn't dig something like that out. Besides, given the shallow depth involved its not like we would run the risk of breaching HFS, Worst case scenario, we hit aquifier. Suddenly, we have a pond which can have a park built around it.

>>9355853
Flexible piping can be made out of oiled leather.

>>9355842
Hmm maybe you are rigth but we need those defenses ASAP.
>>9355830
Just making suggestions here, no need to get all defensive about it.

>>9355826
A mechanized forge that can produce much more weapons and armor (all of it finely crafted and of the same quality, making us a brand) than we can possibly need?
Same for a mechanized loom, except with clothing.

>>9355827
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to forge a pipe? Nevermind that I doubt out alchemists even know how to produce methane and what it is in the first place.

WE NEED MORE VESPIG GAS

>>9355860
The things you suggest require so few people and resources that we could do both. We're a tiny podunk hamlet, so it wouldn't be that hard to give newcomers a hoe, seed bag, and pig.

>>9355922
Hmm, the question is, where do we get that many hoes?

>>9355896
We have explosive mushrooms. Also the alchemist would experiment with local materials. Whats local?
PIG DUNG

We should build a wooden palisade. Keeps wild animals and unwanted visitors out but doesn't cost as much resources as a stone one.
Alternatively we could do it early Chinese Wall style:
stamped dirt in a wooden "mold"

>>9355932
Have the blacksmith churn them out, perfecting his craft as he goes. If any kind of magic can be found, have the blacksmith train as a mage, resulting in magic weapons for the town guard, and an everful trough for our beloved pigs.

>>9355824
****do this

>>9355932
We have a mine, and expert blacksmith and a forest. You can churn out a simple hoe blade in about 10 mins work, not counting heating and cooling times. Then get the peasant himself to get a stick from the forest. That's a bingo.

>>9355937
Looking at the picture i think we can make simple metal piping considering the structures.

we don't need paper we have pigskins
we can make parchment

>>9355989
Disregard >>9355932, I was thinking about hos and not hoes.

>>9356023

That's what the Ancestors village was.

Give our shroom-mecha integral rollerskates and cannons built as scaled-up muskets. Call their pilots Knights. Research some way to get healing potions, be it through magic, science, or alchemy. Pave roads at some point, and build a hospital.

WE'RE DOING A VILLAGE RIGHT NOW
FOCUS ON THIS VILLAGE RIGHT HERE

ktnx

>>9356385
WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY, BITCHES FOR THULSA DOOM?

>>9356410
It's all the same setting.

Heavy Flame based weapons. Heavy treated leather so your troops are flame proof? Supported with grape shot cannons mounted on towers. Wooden walls reinforced with sheet metal?

>>9356425
No, focus on this village. Village or GTFO!

*****Find some place out of the way to begin testing increasingly more and more explosively volatile concoctions for our defensive armament.

Fireworks are all well and good but we need something that leaves nothing but craters and widows.

****Make someone start a fire in alchemy room. Make it explode. Interpret results of his experiments as a success, develop stunning new technology.

we should make the bridge either very easily demolishable or build strong defensive structures on either side, that way we can escape over the river if everything goes to shit or protect from shit coming from the other side

>>9356449
>make bombs so hueg that when we drop a bomb in defense we'll blow ourselves up as well

yeah great idea.

I support the notion of the heavy treated leather for our guards. And a wall/gate.
Also shroomgrowcave.

>>9356480
This, actually.

Put all waste organic material in a basement or a cave, along with some fungal spores.

>>9356480
We should invite neighboring leaders to see how powerful our bombs are

***** invent cannons then mount them on the walkers

*****Construct a monument of an alchemist holding a mushroom to symbolise our growing mushroom based industry outside the town hall.

>>9356480

Alchemically treated leather armor.

Troops armed with primitive fire lances.

Up next?

Repeating crossbows? :3

-the young farmer is clearly a genious, his flare for the mechanicel is ahead of his time.

- The young farmer heads up a team of engineering and alchemical specialists, plans are drawn up for a town defence instument.

- the guild of Defensive engineer mechanics works on projectile devices for all the newly built watchtowers, also select town guard are given explosive prijectile devices.

>>9356478
Make the bridge a fortress unto itself. Then fortify the everloving fuck out of the town. Upgrade the houses to be durable enough as to survive some abuse from cannons. At the same time, build up our army. Eventually, take over the world with ShroomZakumares and the EVA we dug up.

>>9356509

Never change /tg/, never change.

>>9356570
I'm pretty sure we're going with Chinese rockets, not crossbows.
>>9356556
To be honest, I agree with this. Can we put an end to this project, please? I'm sick and tired of having each village have a humanoid monument that is our super guardian.

i prefere smaller clockwork thing'ies
also they dont fall on buildings, only todlers at most

>>9356556
AWESOME

Also, what's up with the west (where scouts die) left unprotected?

>>9356662
>>9356662

Its like liberty prime, except instead of American propaganda its preaching:

SCIENCE! INDUSTRY! LOGIC!

SCIENCE! INDUSTRY! LOGIC!

***** hold town meal commemorating lost scout, who shall be honored as the searcher of enlightenment for years to come, send a small squad of projectile guards/normal guards to find out what actually happened to him.
stone wall/buildings, with all this fire tech we are in real danger of sending shit up in flames at the slightest sneeze.
also, robot arm? really? i was thinking waaaaaay smaller...not a fan of this giant robt development.
also, mushroom farm would be cool,since theyre supplying us with our one defining feature atm. bout time we looked to expanding village and increasing contact with nearby civs, send some scouts out and explore outside more.

>>9356613
Considering that chinese also invented crossbows hell knows how long ago, we could make crossbows firing rockets. Sort of a crude bolter.

>>9356660
METHANE!

Ok, since we seem to be lacking a listguy, I'll try my hand at it.
1. Abandon GIANT METAL WARRIOR project
2. Set up stone walls
3. Reinforce buildings and walls with metal
4. Set up underground fungus farm
5. More crossbow/Chinese rocket/WHATEVER turrets
6. Stone roads

Anything else?

A whole village of Citizen Riots?

FUCK YEAR

>>9356683
Lamp posts instead of torches.

>>9356635

Take a wild guess.

It's photoshop. Just look at the texture brushes.

Assign miners to STRIKE THE EARTH and dig a trench encircling the entire village.

This trench should be filled with wooden stakes and other, painfully sharp objects.

>>9356665
Unrelated to your post, but: IRON LANTERN THE MOST AWESOME SUPERHERO EVER!

- development storms ahead with the town defensive device, like a man possessed the young farmer/genious refines his designs, scraps old plans and continues with his grand vision.

- farmers produce a massive crop of the mushrooms needed and work with herbilism experts to perfect the straign of fungus.

- town engineers are instructed to build a mushroom growing facility to boost town defensive devices,

- town guard receive metal chest armour cast out of light alloys dug from the mine.

- additional scholars and scribes flock to the town as it is now seen as a bastion of free thought and tecknology

>>9356675
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmVndzNIkI

>>9356526
Full speed ahead on the construction-bot.

I sure hope we are refining the metal before use, inb4 everythings brittle and breaks

Also i think we need to "stop" the engineers before they run amok. Time to put down some laws!

First one, one shall not make any machine capable of autonomous behavior.

Second one, though shall not make any machine higher than you self.

>>9356702
***** Abandon giant mecha project.
***** Reinforce buildings with stone.

Why is everybody assuming that the arm is part of some giant mecha? Isn't it just as plausible that the arm is really just an automated means for flipping off other civilisations?

>>9356702
RE-ANIMATE GIANT CREATURE
GIVE IT ROBOT LIMBS AND ARMOR PLATING
TELL SHABOTH TO GO FUCK HIMSELF

SURPRISE METEOR STRIKE

Nice.

Anyway, now that I look at our town, we really should consider our first firehouse/anti-fire contingency, what with all the smelters, partially wooden structures, potentially dangerous alchemy and large explosives flying around. And with our mechanical expertise should be easy to equip a fire squad with a portable(?) steam-driven water engine.

Don't want the place going up in flames.
(Also potential invasion of local fire/death god).

>>9356729
The fact that there's now a GIANT TORSO accompanying it.

>>9356721
It's allright as long as the boy controls it himself ala. Shinji from neon genesis evangelion.
Also pipes and methanes please... I just really like pipes

P.s Let the man draw qa big robot, he really wants to

>>9356732

HOLY FUCK THIS

>>9356702
That robot is going be the ruin of the town! Stop that mad scientist!.

>>9356702

Judging by the appearance of that torso, GIANT METAL WARRIOR will now be a GIANT METAL ANIMAL of some kind.

1. Set up stone walls
2. Reinforce buildings and walls with metal
3. Send out armed scouting party to west
4. More crossbow/Chinese rocket/WHATEVER turrets
5. Stone roads
6. Trench around the walls containing suitably nasty implements
7. Develop automatic projectile launcher of some sort

>>9356727
Don't listen to the suggestion about abandoning the mecha project, he doesn't mean it.

>>9356751

Oh, and 8. Set up iron lanternposts.

okay the chestpiece with the right arm clearly have three barrels (cannons?) and something that looks like a cockpit. I say we stop the young genius before he becomes a mad scientist!

Rally with me people of Village 4

We need some spirituality up this bitch.

We founded this village on the principles that we wouldn't have any giant protector.

Sadly, we're being railroaded into one now.

Whoever doesn't like the giant steampunk mecha project is clearly homosexual and should retire from this board in favor in pleasuring himself.

>>9356762
Fuck your spirituality. We have intelligence instead.

>>9356770

I believe that principle was no giant spiritual protector. Clearly, this is purely technological and is acceptable.

Lol, I'd love to see a sudden change of heart and execution of all engineers all of a sudden. Think you can work that in, OP?

Also, on the topic of village naming: The first one was codenamed Shaboth (judging by the gifs and the general attitude), the second one Usuless and the third one Ancestors (CODENAMED, not named), so do we codename this one Science or Steampunk?

Tell that man to stop his giant robot plan. Have him scale it down and produce smaller versions that can be worn as power armor for our riflemen.

>>9356702
1. We need some stone roads up in here.

2. additional housing for growing population.

3. All this weapons tech is neglecting agriculture, get some more fields and farms up in there.

>>9356742
>>9356732
These, and try to advance our firearm tech. RPG's are nice, but not fun in close quarters. We need FN FAL's up in this bitch.

>>9356772
MEthane flamethrower cannons pleaase

>>9356770
>>9356770
>>9356770

I think this village was founded on the principal that we wouldn't have a deity as a protector.

This is a protector of our own making.

One day, we shall paint you blue, and give you a repeating RPG canon....

WE. DIG. GIANT ROBOTS.

Arm 1 - Methane flamethrower

Create a bunch of weapons for arm 2, including a sword, a repeating crossbow and a missile massacre machine.

>>9356770
Nuh-huh, you're messing it up, comraderio. We decided we won't go religious route, and will try ourselves at tech.
Nothing ever was said about giant awesome fucking steampunk robots firing explosive death.

*****Name the Robot something like Terror-Tron or Tyrranis Prime.

MUSHROOM TECH: ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?

I condone giant robots

I've been saving the pictures from the previous thread, and seeing the village build up from a few huts to this is magnificent.

seriously in need of more stone buildings and a stone wall, fire is going to destroy us in one gust of wind otherwise. set up some kind of firebrigade and possibly aqueduct to transport water to far ends of town.
let shaboth in to destroy the robot, honestly.
have a dedicated library built in which to house all our knowledge, appoint an official keeper of tecks to copy and archive it all in the library.
also, make some kind of town square plaza, its getting bigger, it can double up as a market square.
look for new things for scientists to examine the properties of.

>>9356789
Fuck your SPESS MEHREENS, we have a Steam-powered EVA in the works.

>>9356821

Dude, there are animated gifs of previous threads readily available.

Everyone stop making suggestions and let the OP finish his little project. He's not going to listen until he's done building his giant steam-powered mecha.

>>9356829
>>9356829

Yeah, I'll try and make an animated gif of this one as well...

>>9356826
I was thinking Fallout power armor actually.

>>9356834
didn't want to beleive it, but you might be right ;_;

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

"No!" says the man in the engineering guild, "it belongs to the constructs"

There seems to be lots of conflict over the robot. Work on establishing a committee dedicated to ethical enlightenment.

After that is complete they can begin holding meetings on what is practical, safe, and right for the village to be doing.

I don't know about you gents but I think we need more enlightenment research and less RPG spam.

>>9356829
link?

>>9356834
Golems were our idea. Don't you fucking dare whine about how it's railroading or some shit like that, you dickgurgler.

>>9356835

Wait till it's finished. Gifs are awesome.

>>9356770

I imagine it's probably because it's easier to draw one giant avatar encompassing the qualities of the civilisation than a dozen tiny warriors too small to be appreciated.

>>9356870
The only way to make them better would be adding some cool transition effect, with the new buildings like slowly appearing and that.

>>9356824

I'm with this guy. We need fire protection unless we want the town going up like in the last one.

(Hell knowing our luck the fire brigade will be effective against Shaboth emmisaries and their burning fiends.)

Also see: >>9356739

>>9356860
Actually, no. Only 1/4 of the population voted for crazy steampunk shit. The rest of us were happy with standard industry. My hopes began to dwindle as soon as we recieved an automaton that ran off of mushrooms and a crazy farmer that does whatever OP wants it to.

Fuck i hate steampunk. Mushroom powered Chinese style rocket launchers aren't good enough for you people?

That said, op, still love you art. Makes me nostaligic for the days when people used to make god-games. I love the whole "build your village" style of game.

fuck

Actually, once the Golem is finished, steam-powered power suits for the guard could be cool, too.
Lab suits for engineers, too.

Oh, and now that we have a bridge - any experiments with any explosives are really really much better performed on the other bank.

>>9356860
Only one person ever wanted golems, and he came into it pretty damn late.

>>9356908
>>9356908

Not if we have dozens of them.

THey will also remember the man that created them.

<_<

>>9356938
Yeah, some random bucktoothed farmer who the OP has create whatever he wants in a flash.

>>9356908
I am likewise disappointed we aren't getting a town of Manly Men who would have Punched Out Shaboth.

>>9356905

To bring you into the darkness of Shaboth the fortold...

To purify you in the sight of Usuless the river goddess...

To grant you wisdom by the will of the Ancestors...

To show you magnificence by creation of Machines...

THIS! IS! STRATEDGY!!!

>>9356951

We're probably getting that in next village, since we said it would be a far-east monk enclave.

>>9356967
Fair enough. Can't wait to see what happens with this setting farther down the line. I wanna see one of these start off with tech equivalent to what one would find in any civilized country.

people of village 4!
rise up against the maddness, lets cleanse this place of the inhuman constructs and show the world that we can do without and be real men on our own acord.

>>9356980
A dragon? Fuckawesome!

- the young farmer toils with town engineers, the farmers of the village sit wide mouthed as the finished machine is unveiled, the town protector gleams with its metal and brass fittings, massive projectile cannons jut from the machines chest.

- satisfied the young farmer collapses into a heap at his acheivement.

-the town asks him to pilot the machine but he insists he is no pilot, he insists his home is the workshop and not the battlefield, her returns to his work on his next project,

- personal mechanised units for all town guard or perhaps flying devices that ride on the wind.

- the herbalists perfect the fungus as a quickly growing strain, overnight the fields are renewed.
they begin a stockpile of fuel.

- farmers ask for devices to help them with their work.


- The town defence machine sits inactive without a pilot, but it is in full working order and maintained by the engineer guild.

>>9356955

Holy fuck, am I sensing a badass creed?

We should add more stuff like that with further villages.

>>9356980
An undesirable, but likely outcome

>>9357005
That isn't what we wanted

Fixed that for you.

>personal mechanised units for all town guard or perhaps flying devices that ride on the wind.

:D

Oh look, we're getting railroaded into having a giant mechanical doom engine. Rather than a giant satanic god-beast or a giant holy water woman with big wet tats.

I love your artz, OP, but at this point you can stop pretending our input means anything at this point and just show the development of a town.

Again.

Mecha completed, now move on to public works. First order of business should be roads. Pave the fuck out of those roads.

***** Build large metal gates for the bridge.

***** Reinforce buildings with stone.
***** Stone roads.
***** Stone walls.
***** Iron lantern lamp posts.

Now you're done with your mecha, can you PLEASE move on to these?

hey, since that robot is huge and useless, and has hands, can we have it aid in the construction of our village wall? also BIG CENTRAL TOWER FOR STRONOMY the sky/space is an untapped resource!
also, all this wartech and nothing to wage war on, good going /tg/, real practical, thank god we havnt been hit by plague.
oh and more stone stuff, i dont want another shaboth end.

>>9357005

Holy shit, I wasn't exactly thrilled on the idea of a giant robot OP but man that looks awesome.

*****Commence construction on a factory to begin pumping out our mechanical avatars.

>>9357005

>>9357013
Speak for yourself, you big baby.

Cool how we went from

to
>personal mechanised units for all town guard or perhaps flying devices that ride on the wind

- Need to train a corp of pilots in shifts so at least two pilots are available at any time.

>>9357097

It was a strange mood by a peasant.

Love the robot, by the way.

1. Stone/metal wall.
2. Mechanical farming implements
3. Find a goddamn pilot for GIANT METAL SHOOTER
4. Firefighting system
5. Flying machines for aerial scouts
6. Mechanized armor for warriors
7. Town improvements (stone roads, iron lanternposts)

B'awwwing aside, what else do we need?

>...the town protector gleams with its metal and brass fittings, massive projectile cannons jut from the machines chest.
Where is your God now?
**** we need a pilot - let us make a contest who will pilot that mother

***** train pilot for robot then use the robot to build Mega-project

START MAKIN' DEM BIONIK BITZ FOR DA UMIES

OP clearly doesn't give a shit about our suggestions. Which is FINE, he has good ideas and talent, but it's a kick in the teeth to people thinking this is Lord Quest who have been trying to contribute all day.

>>9357097

>Shaboth attacks
>Two artillery shells
>Hooray

>>9357005

Hah, nice. I can't tell though, is the mech mobile? Or is it more like a stationary turret.

Anyway, I'm reiterating our need for the creation of a firehouse.

>>9357094
>need pilot
Quick, where's Shinji Ikari? Wait, that would require the mecha to be the fossil-thing, but given armour and some overriding control apparatus.

Stop bawwing and draw your own fucking village then. Jeez.

>>9357123

I wouldn't agree with that. I mean, we are given a blank paper on how to create the village. The OP just starts thinking along his lines at a certain point.

You might as well complain to the MSPA author. Shit stopped being user-driven shortly after Problem Sleuth started.

List:
***** Reinforce buildings with stone.
***** Stone roads.
***** Stone walls.
***** Iron lantern lamp posts.
***** Astronomer's Tower.
***** Firefighter's Guild.
***** A pilot for the Titan.

>>9357123

He did give me some ideas for building suggestions on the next Lord Quest though. We never built a watermill and we're right near a river. That could pump up our production ten fold.

>>9357123
Bawww more.
What he does is _based_ on our suggestions. Sure, he's not some omnipowerful god to implement all of them - remember, he still has to draw everything, and I'd like to see you do that with the speed and quality like his.

>>9357097

That's our young Da Vinci's next project, it's not implemented yet.

Personally I think this stuff's pretty cool. Mushroom-based tech, firework weaponry, alchemy and industry. Definitely a different flavour to the previous villages.

The "Giant protector of the village" thing seems to be a common trope for all the villages so far, which is fine with me. Just think of it as the top-tier build on the research tree or something.

***** More research on that weird fossilized creature please! Excavate more of it!

>>9357123

This is certainly not Lord Quest. It has better art and more plot progression. Oh, and FUCKING USER CREATED PLOT.

>>9357193
fuck yearh lets dig the fucker up

>>9357151
>>9357187
>hurr "you do better fallacy"
Railroading is still railroading, even if I can't draw for shit.

I think we still need some more traditional warriors as well.

Equip them with repeating crossbows for versatility.

Also

WAREHOUSE TO STORE GOODS/FOOD

>>9357201
You shut the fuck up. Don't you badmouth Lord Quest.

>>9357219
You're just asking for trouble, aren't you?

Also, yes-yes, walls!

>>9357201
Lord Quest has a plot and user interaction. This has neither. Pretty art is still fine, but the only "user created" aspect is what colour the giant creature at the end turns out to be.

>***** More research on that weird fossilized creature please! Excavate more of it!
second
maybe we can mine dragonbone or somthin'

also lol, we've hit autosage again.

>>9357268

>HURR DURR OP ISN'T LISTENING TO MY SUGGESTIONS HE MUST BE RAILROADING

>>9357231
Then why are you even here? OP is trying his damned hardest to take all these votes into consideration and can only do so fucking much before he is required to produce a result.

>>9357231
Your mom is a railroad, with cartloads of dicks going hence and forth.

There are limitations to what a single man can do, and implementing everything we ever suggest, minding that our suggestions are mutually exclusive, is not possible. Deal with it.

-pursue glorious knowledge in all its aspects
-astronomers tower/super watchtower combined
-excavate more of fossil
- set up a library of enlightenments
-test for most capable pilot, also reward farmer with a title of some sort and a house of stone/metal (since the other buildings dont seem to be getting upgraded any time soon)

>>9357285
He hasn't taken a single vote into consideration since the arm first appeared.

*** train capable pilots

OP is a professional artist doing this in his own time, don't be so fucking anal.

>inb4 OH NO, SHABOTH CULTISTS APPEAR, USE THE GIANT ROBOT TO BEAT THEM UP!

>>9357324
A professional artist giving us the illusion of free will.

>>9357187

This.

/tg/ provides the general direction and initial fine-detail stuff, then the OP extrapolates from there.

Start small -> Build up resources -> Attract migrants -> Develop the village further -> Gain top-tier Village Avatar based on the flavour of what has gone before.

First village sacrificed humans and ended up summoning a daemon, second village worshipped a river-goddess and ended up with her manifesting, third village revered the ancestors and the ancestors saved them when the dark emissary, this village developed along industrial/mechanical lines and now has a big mechanical protector-engine.

It's all good.

>>9357305
He did. Shroom farm, y'know. Also, the robot is finished and he's back on track again.
Still, I'd like to see the next village without a giant protector for a change of pace.

>>9357329
>>9357329
>>9357329
>>9357329

That would be both hilarious and awesome to see.

Steampunk ain't none of those things.

But still, OP is doing great. Get us an awesome enemy to test our robot on, please :)

>>9357305
Yes he has, look fucking harder. Majority voted for mushroom farm and better armor for our militia, WE GOT EXACTLY THAT.

>>9357305
Are you fucking blind? Kill yourself

BE NICE OR OP WILL LEAVE

Village relies on the strength of men.

Hercules Appears.

>>9357350
Come to think of it, we never asked for manifestations of the gods, either. Somehow, noone was butthurt.
I'm beginning to suspect trolls are involved~

>>9357409
Because it was original and unexpected the first two times. Third, people started to complain. It's getting ridiculous now.

****Find something to do with all the pigs

>>9357424
You the people started to complain.
I see.

Well, what can I suggest: 1) get up 2) leave 3) don't return

>>9357409
>>9357424
This

And honestly, even in the second one, I was like, "Oh, well, that's cool I guess. Ha ha. . . "

>>9357424
Seriously, the machine that was built was NOT a manifestation of a god, NOT a tribute to our ancestors, and NOT an unwelcome addition with the exception of some douchebag.

>>9357370

Wait, what? Steampunk is FULL of mechanical/industrial stuff.

Though this is maybe more alchemypunk or something, I dunno. It's pretty awesome either way.

>>9357409
>>9357450
>nobody else's opinion matters, anyone who doesn't like an "AWESOME GIANT THING" every fucking time is a samefag or a troll

>>9357467
It's the same kind of thing.

"Oh, look. We decided on a lot of man sized things for our village. And wow, look at that, an enormous thing to protect the village. Hey, this the exact same thing we've done three times already just in another flavor. This doesn't suck at all."

What the complainfags want:

>Giant meteor strike destroys the mecha. Since it's fucking flammable, half the village explodes.
>Shaboth cultists attack, turning everyone into zombies.

HAPPY?

>>9357394
See >>9356342

>>9357467
No, but it's still our Mighty Mashing Avatar just there to look all cool and symbolic.

>>9357450
if you look back it looks alot more like multiple people dislike the robot and the some one or too inflammatory people like it, plus a few people who think this is code geass. Either way, it doesn't matter, stop getting cranky and let OP do what he does, its far better than nothing at all.
oh and this "tier" shit? get it out, this isnt AOE or something, tiers are an extra-broken "my cock is bigger than yours" system 9/10 times.

>>9357495
What we "complainfags" want:

For there not to be a giant thing making all the humans obsolete. For the people of this tech village to be the ones who get shit done.

>>9357491

Interesting enough, you lurk on /tg/, which means you probably have some experience in tabletop gaming or wargames which are full of really diverse and interesting things and scenarios that are never absolutelty never repetible and always change.

Right.

>>9357491
It's only a natural progression to make shit bigger.

>>9357424
>>9357454

Then why are you still here?

It's fair enough if you don't like the way OP is doing things, but I can't really understand why you'd hang around to bitch about it.

Some of us are really enjoying it, regardless.

>>9357467
It's a giant humanoid society endpoint that will probably end the thread in some horribly down-pat way because continuing beyond half a dozen buildings is a fuckload of effort.

Fine that that's all OP can draw, fine that it's the only satisfying conclusion he can bring, but just draw it, making threads of "opinion" turns into trollocausts like this.

>>9357491
You are free to suggest other variants. What do you have? "We won't have nothing, humanity fuck yeah"?

Allright, maybe tell that nicely to OP and he'll probably not make a thing like that in the next village.

Besides, in the third village he really did a good pacing with the superunit.

>>9357529
HUMANS *MADE* THE GIANT THING, IT DOES NOT MAKE US OBSOLETE, IT MAKES US A STRONGER AND MORE UNITED SOCIETY.

>>9357491

It's a common trope of the sort of games this is based on - you have a bunch of little worker/builder/soldier units scurrying around, and eventually you get to build a BIG FUCK-OFF CHAMPION UNIT that stomps about looking epic and awesome and punching the shit out of enemy champion units.

Like Black&White has the giant creature avatar things, or Rise of Legends has the big monster/mech command units. Some people like it, some people don't.

The people who don't like it could, maybe, go do something they find fun, rather than shitting things up for the people who're enjoying the way this thread's going.

id like to say "Robot: do not want" however for some reason everyone in this thread who has been against the robot is getting labeled a troll.

just got to face it that OP wants to draw a robot.

>>9357544
How about we develop as a fucking society, build up a big pretty city and gradually arm/develop in an incremental process that makes a satisfying amount of sense rather than SUDDENLY, STEAMPUNK or SUDDENLY, GODS AND ELEMENTALS.

OP is an artist, not a gamer, and it shows.

>>9357540
/tg/ getting to decide where the whole gig will go is the whole premise. Non-interactive drawfagging can be awesome in it's own right (and OP is an accomplished artist, I believe we can all agree on this), but it's not nearly as interesting.

>>9357567
>Allright, maybe tell that nicely to OP and he'll probably not make a thing like that in the next village.
There were requests not to have one ten posts in to the first thread today.

Oh shit. This is Dominions. We just built our Pretender. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

>>9357529
>making all the humans obsolete.
What has it done to make humans obsolete?

>For the people of this tech village to be the ones who get shit done.
The machine was created by people. For the purpose of defence.

Isn't that "people getting shit done?"

>>9357573
IN THE FIRST THREE VILLAGES, HUMANS *SUMMONED* THE GIANT THING, IT DOES NOT MAKE US OBSOLETE, IT MAKES US A STRONGER AND MORE UNITED SOCIETY.

Making it isn't that different. Besides, it was also made by OP's plot device farmer.

>>9357608
No, it was a sudden complete asspull by some magic farmer rather than anything the people's labor and development created.

MY GOD, YOU FAGGOTS ARE NEVER HAPPY.

THIS IS JUST FUCKING GODZILLA MOVIES

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE CITIES

JUST THE GIANT MONSTERS THAT FIGHT EACH OTHER

WHY BOTHER MAKING THE CITIES OP?

JUST DRAW THE GIANT MONSTERS

THAT'S WHAT IT ALWAYS ENDS UP AS

FUCK YOU, FAGGOT

>>9357586
Ask yourself this: how many frames drawn does your typical "suddenly, gods" thread require, and how many does one with a goddamn city developed in our typical obsessive attention to detail.
Now consider how much more work you're asking of someone who does not owe you anything.

>>9357588
I believe that was exactly my point. People are pissed because this is a non-interactive "look at me draw a town" thread masquerading as interactive to get interest.

>>9357636
Since when have ANY of the giant figures in ANY of the four villages we made fought each other?

>>9357630
It's /tg/ man. We always bitch and moan

>>9357630
We were happy, until the OP went and made something that there were lots of conflicting opinions about - and continued to make it anyway.

The mecha wasn't made by our input. We had no part in its construction. It's something purely of his design.

He could at least include a "my opinion comes first" disclaimer in the OP.

>>9357645
Then OP should just draw the gods rather than pretending we have anything to do with the process.

>>9357586

Because the OP having to draw the hundreds of years of technological progress required to get to the point of awesome giant robots isn't all that interesting. More fun just to skip to the OK, GIANT ROBOT TIME NOW stuff after the village is fairly well-established.

>>9357662
Then honestly, you don't deserve the choice that the OP has foolishly given you guys.

>>9357647
>"look at me draw a town"

But he does that very well, so meh.

>>9357636
You have been nothing but disruptive throughout this game. I won't miss you.

Here's my view on the threads

In the first game, I though that by constructing a demonic altar we'd start rituals for some kind of a Cthulhu horror. The mutated dog was fucking great, but Shaboth the Fortold wasn't really that kind of an evil god. Still, it was surprising (summoning a deity and all that) and it was cool.

The second game was the polar opposite of the first one - I was rooting for an inquisition-like village from the start, but we recieved a serene, mercantile village. Okay, it was cool - I loved it and the bosom of the river goddess was drawn epicly.

The third game - I came there only at the middle - was also pretty great. The arrival of Shaboth emissary was expected, but the results weren't - first, I actually expected our warriors to kill him, which would result in a Shaboth followers siege (during the time we'd prepare for it). The golem was kind of obvious (HAI GUISE LET'S PRAY TO THE ANCESTORS!) but the events that led to him weren't. It was friggin great.

The giant mech in this game was seen from miles away - but the way we reached him was cool as well. Sure, the freshness and epicness dropped a bit - but that's bound to happen in every game series.

>>9357630
This.

If you guys are unhappy with the way OP's running the quest, get up and leave. You say he promised interaction but failed to deliver? Tough shit, this is the internet, people renege on promises all the time. Plenty of other quest threads for you to enjoy, no need to stay here making obsessive demands that just disrupt the whole thing.

>>9357691
You can tell anon from anon, huh?

>>9357697
>saging on an autosaging thread

>>9357698
If we don't like it, we can call him a faggot and fill his threads with bullshit everytime he tries to post, because frankly, he disappointed us, and this is the internet, and it is a fickle bitch.
