Yay!

Serious question, OP.

Could you please say whether you intend this to be
a) based around user suggestions with /tg/ saying wat-do and the actions of the peons being based almost entirely on that (spring whatever outside shit you like and see how we react)
b) based around your own story, what you like to draw and your available time, with our comments being basically incidental to it.

Because I'm fine with either of these, they're both great, but the uncertainty is what caused such a storm of butthurt last time.

It looks like the big fossilized creature is crying :(

>>9359319

How about you just drop it and enjoy the pictures.

Nice walls

And is that skeleton baaw'ing...?

>>9359294
*****Can we finish up that bridge on the river?
*****Build some kinda steam powered elevator on the cliff near our gate, travelers and such need to get in. Put armed guards if you need to.

Yes! new thread is a go!

**** build solar deathray on top of the clock tower

>>9359319

Are you fucking retarded? Aside from the giant mech, OP has followed /tg/'s suggestions almost to the letter. Seriously, people, he deviated on just ONE THING. Let it the fuck go.

OP: I request BETTER HOUSING! Put the engineers to work on improving everyone's standard of living. Plumbing and running water is a priority.

***** train warriors, the finest ones also trained as pilots

We need more room soon. I suggest scouting over the river for suitable area to continue our town.

**** Reinforce the bridge
**** Scout out more area to build on over across the river

Begin construction of a schoolhouse.

>>9359319

From past performance it's "OP draws a village, specific buildings/actions drawn from /tg/ suggestions, overall theme follows the prevailing trend of the suggestions, but with extra stuff the OP thinks is cool also thrown in."

Which is to say, positive requests of stuff to add will probably get acted on, but negative requests of stuff NOT to add may be ignored.

Which is fair enough, really.

>>9359321
It looks like a bunch of ribs to me.

Can we get a zoom-out? The settlement is filling the whole area, let's see what's outside.

Has the scout returned yet?

What is the point of having a gate if it isn't reachable from outside?

>>9359348
Exactly, just like Dorf Fortress some guy got into strange mood and made an artifact. Ta-dah, happy now?

>>9359406

Seconding this. I would like to see a zoom out.

>>9359379

I second the School house idea

Listing:
-finish up that bridge on the river
-steam powered elevator on the cliff near our gate, travelers and such need to get in. Put armed guards if you need to.
-build solar deathray on top of the clock tower
-train warriors, the finest ones also trained as pilots
-Scout out more area to build on over across the river

These are ALL the suggestions I've seen thus far.

Take of them what you will.

Also SCHOOL HOUSE. :D

>>9359414
Let's just build a little elevator system to get people up.

***** Conduct wider-ranged archaeological surveys for other vestiges of Ancient Mysteries in the surrounding area.

Particularly pay attention to the spoil heaps from where we've been digging ditches and stuff, in case old stuff shows up.

I second reinforcing the bridge and adding buildings to the other side of the river.

>school house

Wait, is this such an obvious troll that I.. I..
Goddamnit. HOUSE OF FUCKING KNOWLEDGE. SCHOOL. SAME. THING.

>>9359456

Its for the children.

WHY WONT YOU THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Seriously though, the house of learning seems to be more of a college now.

Schooling for basic education and a higher standard for our peoples.

Those walls need to be thicker. Wouldn't stop a breeze at the moment. Plus ramparts, battlements, bombard towers featuring strange and terrible steampunk weapons. We have unlimited labour, let's make the most of it.

>>9359426
>Also SCHOOL HOUSE. :D
And a bigger theater. The peons need their school related drama fantasizes realised.

I'm getting increasingly nervous about that fossil. Fucker's HUGE.

>>9359456
Wasn't a troll, I just thought the house of knowledge has developed into more of a government building now and that a schoolhouse would be a more proper place to instruct youngsters before sending them off to learn at the house of knowledge.

Where is the trench filled with wooden stakes and other sharp objects? A WALL WON'T BE ENOUGH PROTECTION!

***** reinforce the the bridge it doesn't look strong enough for the mecha or power-armour to cross

Also, what happened to that scout balloon we sent to the West?

Once we get that skeleton unearthed we'll have plenty more room to expand.

>>9359503
why stakes when you could invent land mines

>>9359527

Wow, the fossilized creature looks like a tyranid. Feral world?

It looks like they are uncovering something there. Is that a God Warrior? One of the monsters that ended the old world with seven days of fire?

>>9359526
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

>>9359294
SKELETOR UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER

>>9359527
way too risky at the moment,we'd just blow ourselves up, the only way we could use them is if we had forewarning of an attack (i.e. from the big tower in construction, or balloon-rider).but yeh, landmines are sensible enough given our supershrooms.
got to agree with improving peoples lifestyle's, we're secure now, and we must only be days from discovering how to slice bread. oh, bread, a bakery! we have all this wheat, afterall.
disect pig for anatomical knowledges, test bodily fluids for properties.
expand trade further, now that we have things to offer.

>>9359319

I think he does a bit of both, honestly. He gives us a basic starting area for us to play in, we make suggestions and then he extrapolates a basic theme out of our suggestions and caps the game with said theme's avatar or whatever.
---
Hah! I just noticed that our trade road leads straight off our trench's cliff face. I suggest we make a metal ramp before we get pathing errors from incoming merchants. It can also double as a well guarded choke point.

Also, that fossil is starting to look very sinister. Good thing no one here knows how to/is stupid/is malicious enough to reanimate the dead yet.

Personal Suggestions:
*** Upgrade wooden bridge to larger steel bridge for more trade traffic.
*** Complete trade road with ramp down cliff/bridge over trench (unsure which is in pic)
*** widen road system and expand to bridge
*** Thicken walls
*** Airship? Airship.

>>9359633
a retractable metal ramp

>>9359633
alter plans for tower to include airdock, sell air vessels to other nations -> trading profits?

Have scouts look around and make us a map or come up with some trade routes for nearer cities.

Improve the flying machines and create full fledged zeppelin like contraptions to haul supplies.

Begin a healthy trading relationship with other nearby settlements giving them machinery in exchange for raw/rare goods like precious metals, inks, dyes, and paper.

>>9359666
dorf atom-smasher/drawbridge

>>9359696
Can you make it any bigger? It's a touch too small so you can't appreciate the smaller details in the pictures.

Research ways to weaponize the mechanical suits, preferably with something explosive.

***** request a flying Tradeship, flys to dofferent villages and towns and shit and trades with them

our flying trade ship can't be attacked by bandits and other meanys unless the fly or are a giant fucking god and to top it all off countless people will be awed by us and will want to move to our village

fuck yes.

TO THE SKIES!.

>>9359756
i mean different

>>9359759
Steam powered dog-fights in the sky, O SHI-

>>9359696

upload the rar. I can make it nice.

Fooken spam bots...

>>9359741
Explosive bolt throwers, on BOTH HANDS!

>>9359878
They could be doing worse things.

>>9359868

This is the daughter of the town mayor. She is now training to become the mech pilot.

>>9359878
Fooken Prawns

>>9359910
but must it be such low-res pics.

We need a drawbridge or retractable ramp to the gate. Also, it worries me that the scout disappeared and the balloon scout hasn't called back either. And we don't have a lot of contact with other settlements...

>>9359984
hmm, yes. worrying indeed.

Also our little Leonardo Da Vinci

Didn't he say something about arming our troops with powered armor? :D

>>9359868

>>9360075
jet packed power armor

>>9360075

He did. We've had power armor soldiers with Chinese rocket launchers patrolling the perimeter for a while now.

>>9360034
>>9359984

Next time we send out a balloon scout, we should have him communicate back to us with flares and light signals on a regular basis.

>>9360100
>>9360106

>>9359756

Oh, before we get ahead of ourselves, we should also make a market square for all of the to-be mechant that are going to be coming. They will need a spot to set up and sell their wares and we can make a tidy profit by charging them tithes (is that the word?) for doing business there. Woo! mercantile/industry/steam-punk city.

Also do we have that fireman's guild up yet? Our city is quite flammable now that we're working with lighter-than-air ships.

>>9359984
the balloon scout hasn't even left the map yet.

- clock tower has been completed with mechanoid help

- military intelegence advising construction of large air ship


- small steam elevator has been completed


- debate area added to main hall

- tavern thearter completed by engineer guild

-potent mushroom farms extended to the east


- school house plans submitted to engineer guild and aproved by scribe guild

- plans for ramp access near trade gate are added to the engineer guilds agenda.


- search for an advanced pilot are under way, exams are taken on the senior
mechanised suit operators.

>>9360287

So gorgeous.

List -

Fire brigade
Improved housing
Expansion across river

>>9360191

>>9360287
sweet :D

and just incase you missed it OP

the trades guild has a request for you

***** request a flying Tradeship, flys to dofferent villages and towns and shit and trades with them

our flying trade ship can't be attacked by bandits and other meanys unless the fly or are a giant fucking god and to top it all off countless people will be awed by us and will want to move to our village

http://rapidshare.com/files/378932166/Village_Creation_04-22-2010.rar.html

First 15 images.

Hopefully someone with better .gif fu will work it out better.

>>9360390
>>9360390

Limited to 10 Downloads, so please only DL if you are going to make a nice .gif out of it.

Let's expand farms and housing to the other side of the river. Also, build a wall and gate there.

>>9360287
Very nice, very nice indeed.
>/Shale_Dragon_Age.jpg

**** Reinforce bridge
**** Scout out additionl land across the river for more construction

>>9360381

Airship is being built. Look at the wooden "ribs" in the lower right corner of the village.

>>9360418
>>9360390
>rapidshare
HAHAHAHA

>>9360475

For some reason mediafire and megaupload are not working to well at the moment.

expanding would be good, over the bridge, more housing, more immigrants,more food = more minds = more teck = more coolness.
shame you didnt draw the wall bigger OP, i was going to suggest building mechanical wheel-powered punching devices that we could activate when invaders try to scale the walls.

>>9360469
Ah! i see it now

thank you i missed that

Holy fuck what happened? The village turned awesome!

hmm. i can see pic 16 and 18 in this thread.

where is pic 17?.

god damn it.

Fence off our main farms and the mushroom farms to prevent scavenging from local wildlife.

>>9360576
>>9360576

WAs probably a draft pic or something.

>>9360287

Woo!

Going to continue advising upgrading our southwestern bridge to steel and enlarging/fortifying it for more traffic. Also, get our science division working out exact what our local stiff-in-the-ground is... er was. (really curious and worried about it.)

After construction of our new military airship, perhaps encouraging the local merchants in investing in a civilian model?

On that note, think we could turn our megamech so that it faces the outside of town instead of the middle? (Friendly fire paranoia.)

*****Construct anti-breast defense mechanism.

>>9360690
Yeah, we should turn the mech so it faces the fossil.
Just in case something bad happens, which is of course inevitable.

The village is under attack by carpet-porning.

EVERYONE GET DOWN.

Also, THIS IS NOT THE /r/ THREAD STOP POSTING (hot) NUDE WOMEN IN A DRAW THREAD. YOUR THREAD IS THATAWAY ^^^^.

GOD!

>>9360788

Might I suggest the drawing and construction of a porn-shelter.

Just when shit was getting done again. Fuck.

God dammit x.X

>>9360904
Pics are safe, our artist is alive (possibly fapping). Nothing of a value was lost. Just continue the normal life, wait this spam to end and start anew.

Because HUMANITY FUCK YEAH!

>>9360925
And he puts traps in there, so it's not even benign, ignore and at some point it will stop.

>>9360904
this is your new town

Am I the only one who have NOT clicked any of the spam pics? It is quite... I don't know how long I can keep it up.

Our new town is located on hill of a barren desert. Its only neighbor the hill opposite.

... we die of thirst.

Hey, when someone archives this one, you think they could clean up the thread somehow. I'm no expert at archiving this stuff.

This is all sorts of awsome. I missed the old one though, any way to get a hold of the old pictures and old reports?

>>9361260
It's been archived.

Okay.

this is about as big as it gets because of the 3 meg file size limit. the raw file is 9 megs.

I will upload the raw to mediafire shortly.

Guess its time for us to cut our losses and wait for the spam to die down later. T'was a good thread OP. Really pulled things around. Don't let the spam put you down. Circle of life on 4chan and all that. Hope to see the village soon again.

>>9361062
we have milk

>>9361309
>>9361309

Hmmm... but what educational facilities are available?

>>9361294

Is the raw slower?

Because thats really really fast.

hurm. I thought I made it slower. I guess I forgot to save it. I'll fix that.

>>9361260
suptg for all your thread-archiving and, obviously, reading needs.
Welcome to /tg/, I hope you'll like it here.

>>9361467

hmmm, this may not be good to have in the archive if it's CP.

>stratedgy

I CORRECTED YOU IN YOUR PREVIOUS THREAD YOU DUMB FUCK SPELL IT RIGHT

>>9361491
I've seen some broken references in sup/tg/ so i think that it either autocleans, or someone checks the archived threads and erases the offending posts.

Don't worry

>>9361491
It's all CP, these images are obviously not 18 year old yet.

Damnit! Why did the spam have to start now... ;_;

>>9361375

okay, I got it sorted out.

>>9361682

Thanks. :D

Well fuck, I was supposed to play Mount & Blade Warband for the past 6 hours or so.

Stupid quality threads ruining everything...

Is the OP still around or did he leave?

>>9361897
His last post seems to have been 1 hour ago... on the other hand, he might just be waiting for the titspam to recede

>>9361937
It also took him an hour to post after thread creation. He's probably working on the picture like he was then.

That animated gif is the coolest thing ever.

- map extended to the south as farmers are relocated to make way for more housing.

- relocating the farmers was an engineering feet in itself but they were all given double their plots as insentive.

- mechanised construction is now common place.

- plans go ahead for engineering guild to construct superior housing near the clocktower.

- town guard has commissioned the engineering and alchamism guilds to deliver better quality weapons and moving armour solutions.

- new bridge is on the plans of the engineering guild.

- military theory scribes oversee the construction of the now almost complete airship.

- docking station proposed for top of clock tower, under consideration of the engineering guild.

- outer wall is to be made thicker to house guard platoon.

>>9362199
Fuck! You! OP!

I was JUST going to go to bed and you HAD to update with another awesome pic.

It's not that I like you or anything...

>>9362199

Let's get some roads to the farms, and build more and improved houses for the farmers. Also, let's wall off the lower end of the map to allow for expansion but keep the farms safe.

In the place where the farms used to be, we should build a hospital, have a couple alchemists train to become surgeons and apothecaries.

truly a faptastic update.
howsabout we ask other civs if they have historical info regarding our little underground friend?

>>9362199

Hey, what does the balloon scout have to report?

>>9362199
holy shit OP! thats awesome!

Fukken awesome

OP, I just read through the two archived threads. Thanks for ignoring the butthurt fags.

>>9362199
**** info on the land south of the village
**** send scouts south
**** request engineers guild to build rapid fire projectile device
**** build more lookout towers by the farms and further south

****** We should really get a school going

****** Have the engineers make plans for an improved version of the mine and excavation site

***maybe we should build a infirmary for treating the sick and the wounded.

>>9362199
DIG DEEPER!

WE MUST FREE THE HIDDEN FUN STUFF!

****im thinking we need a school and hospital

>>9362423
implying it will be fun

>>9362439

losing IS fun!

>>9362199

Begin to construct walls to guard the newly acquired farmland.

Modify the mechanized suits to have a detachable drill that can be added to the suit to increase digging/boring ability. this will help in speeding the process of unearthing the skeleton and mining for ore

Construct a trading center in the place where the farmers once were. I suggest a large market where locals can trade inventions, ideas, goods, and other such things. Outside merchants can also rent out a place to sell wares. A merchants guild on the side of the trade square would also be a good idea.

>>9362423

I too would like to see what this fossil really is.

>>9362199
*****Make plans to drasticly increase farmland
*****Make plans for a mass crop harvesting/food producing plant
*****Make plans for an advanced communication system incorporating the power we recieve from the waterwheel, engineering guild, and a SHITLOAD of TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9359294/
I'm surprised I had to do it with the thread existing for over an hour.
I'm going to sleep now, /tg/, do not fail me again!

I am liking our megastructure

>>9362199
**** dig more
**** build more walls
**** get the engineers to build rotateing towers with rocket spammers
**** commision metal automatic machine troopers and mass produce them, send them in mass and waves against the dark god and its minions
**** build rocket powerd badger's and launch at any and all attackers

>>9362488
After increasing the farmland, build all those nice things we've had planned: the whole mechanized workshops gig.

Scour nearby lands for powerful necromancers.

Recruit into village.

Animate fucking huge skeleton.

we need a sewage system
and a market place sounds great
a brewery for making shrooms into something we can trade in the market place and sell in tavern would be nice
What was the name of the tavern again?

>>9362558
That sounds like a very bad idea.

>>9362558
Do it.

>>9362567
Seconding.

Really, now that we have this much place for new constructions, build workshops near the river, and a marketplace near the farming area. Maybe some granary, too - huge fans can be used to dry the harvest up.

>>9362567
Fine. Add safety measures in the form of a remote detonated charge in it's ribcage or something.

>>9362558
This, Also we need a watchtower.

>>9362567
1. Animate the fossil
2. Somehow force it into following orders
3. Insert fossilmonster into mechanized armor
4. ???
5. Profit!

>>9362558
maybe in the next stratedgy village, we could turn ourselfs into a vampire lord or something and hire necromancers to make fuck huge army of the dead and those who serve us well we turn them into vampires or something

>>9362596
Fiiiine, first it's NO GODS NO MAGIC TECH ONLY FINAL DESTINATION.

Now, suddenly, "get a necromancer". Let's at least pretend to be consistent.

>>9362611
Let' just not do it period. It'd invite the goddamn priests of Shaboth to come looking around our town, and we don't need a giant zombie dragon we have a giant robot.

are the bones just normal dusty bones or do they have special properties of some kind? if theyre super strong, combine skeleton with mechanics to make a skele-bot-thing. if not, i suggest frankensteins monster but with waterwheel or mushroom power.

****recruit priest
****educate priest till he is a theologian
****have him study the giant skeleton
**** start creating glass mirrors, invent the Archimedes Heat Ray

>>9362622
FUCK YEAH.

Give it a huge version of the power armour, and mount chinese rocket launchers and onto it's shoulders and limbs, followed by a massive flamethrower on it's chest.

We can rebuild him, we have the technology.

At least wait until we unearth the thing before you all start making grand plans for it. We don't even know what it is.

>>9362611
We will not bring necromancers in to our town and there will not be any kind of animation of the fossil until we have more information

>>9362666
It's a huge ass skeleton.

That should be plainly obvious.

Animate the skeleton? fine, build around his bonues mechanisms, and make it a tech controlled monster, of course, it might be better to take it apart and study simply.

>>9362622
Yessss

>>9362674

Agreed. No animation bullshit.

***Excavate, study, repeat.

>>9362645
Better idea.
*** Recruit priest
*** Educate
*** Isolate for safety
*** Make him study demonology and think of something to counter the demonic influence of Shaboth

C'mon guys.

We need this.

We need a 4 story high skeletal engine of destruction.

>>9362622
>1. Animate the fossil WITH SCIENCE!

ftfy

>>9362717
you.

fuck off.

now.

**** build anti-magic research wing

>>9362681
Yes it ya fucking dullard, but of what? A dragon? An ancient titan? A giant sea turtle? For all we know we'd be unearthing an ancient evil god.

>>9362758

THIS

Reanimated creature using our armor?

ROBOT SKELETONS?

YES!

>>9362736
recruit Dr.Frankenstein

>>9362717
Countering Shaboth is what the Archimedes Heat Ray is for. It is the concentrated power of the sun being blasted at an unholy minion of Shaboth. It has to have some effect on that unholy abomination. Still, both plans could work.

>>9362681
Fossils are not BONES, for fuck's sake, have you never been in a natural history museum or what?

>>9362758
anti magic = ROCKETS IN THE FACE! BULLETS IN THE GUT! GIANT METAL MECHA BOOT IN THE GROIN!

>>9362776
Fossilized bones.

>>9362762
it looks like a gigantic larva skeleton with arms and claws. id go with that, if DF has taught me anything, its to fear the unusual and unexpected.

>>9362722
No we don't. We have a giant robot, flying zeppelins, guns, power-armor, and a metric ton of guard posts. We do not need a reanimated fossil creature.

I still say we study the damned thing before we start dicking around with it, but if you guys want BAD END, I am okay with it. There certainly is room enough in the world for potentially two evil gods, especially one armed with the most cutting edge technology in the world.

>>9362804
Seconding that. And we still don't have a pilot for the mecha.
Here, Shinji Shinji Shinji!

What else should we do with the skeleton?

maybe the bones have special properties
alloyed with metal it could be a material for armor or weapons
pulverized it could be a component for a remdy or alchemistic poition of some sort

>>9362803
a fossil is what happens when minerals take the place of bones. It wouldn't have a single scrap of actual bone material left.

>this thread + op

never change /tg/ <3

>>9362831

fuck that pussy, we need a KAMNIA to pilot it!

>>9362828
After all the bitching this time I say we deserve a bad end.

Only instead of a village that's evil, we unleash a singular hungry entity upon the world, augmented with the power of science.

>>9362838
Yep. That's why we need to study them first, and take hasty actions later. Maybe they cure cancer or something, how do we know.

>>9362842
At last, someone with at least minimal knowledge!

we could use the giant skeleton as a frame for a god smashing mech just add armor and machines to make it move throw in an angsty teenager and we have a fucking evangelion to kill god and angels n shit

>>9362857
I like where this is going.

Yeah, lets do this. Maybe the evil god will spare us.

Magic and magical items have the potential for great good or great evil in this world. See the first two threads for examples of the polar extremes. We would be foolish to do anything with the fossils before we know anything about them.

Suddenly: ADEPTUS EVANGELION VILLAGE

>>9362910
And even if it doesn't, it'll be an interesting addition to the setting as a whole.

Also next time people start bitching OH LOOK THAT SCIENCE DRAGON YOU MADE COMES AND EATS THE VILLAGE, GUESS YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SPENT THE WHOLE THREAD BITCHING.

Suddenly herp-derp let's worship evil gods again.
After deciding again and again to only go the tech way.

I kind of want to make a thread on /m/ about our awesome robot right now.

>>9362857
Maybe we do. Besides watching the skeletal Tarresque, armed with rocket launchers and a steampowered grappeling hook, rampage over the ruins of this village would be pretty badass.

why are you faggots so hung up on eva when there is a clearly superior giant robot? it's self-repairing and has never been piloted by an emo faggot (at least not one that didn't man up eventually)

We shall create a being of dark power and technology.

And it shall slay God.

ITT self-destructive tendencies

Create a god with tech? Dwemer tried in Morrowind. They got fucked up.
Do not want.

>>9362997
Very superior to the Whingey Shinji Show, and very giant.

Pip pip old chaps, time for some steampunkery!

Let's not create a being that destroys all life as we know it. We already did that in the first thread, no need to repeat ourselves.

>>9363037
where they failed... WE SHALL SUCCEED!

>>9363066
Some people just want to see the wor... I mean, some people are just fags.

>>9363066
Nah, that's a being that sends his followers to burn and conquer.

This would be a non-aligned force of hunger. And it would be fine with taking on our evil summoned demon.

ah fuck it you guys i'm going to bed

would someone be a dear and archive this please?

goodnight all

pick is what the next gen mech suits should look like

>>9362199
Soldier on OP, soldier on. Anyway, late advice. I think way to hard on my ideas. I blame simcity. As I said in my last constructive post, make a market and warehouse for trading, also leave room for possible military/commercial airport/construction dock.
We could probably trade processed metal, tools, food, and processed mushroom gunpowder to neighboring towns/cities. On second thought maybe we should keep the gunpowder...
I guess this all this should be put across the river. Hell, that area could now be the merchant quarter/military hub with the original settlement being the R&D scribe hub.
Probably should also make a barracks across the river for our now expanding army as well as for the airmen that inevitably will be manning the ship.
Also extend the wall to cover the whole southern half after we hammer out what goes where. Extend and enlarge the roads as well. Hmm, we'll need more smelters/carpentry shops to keep up with constuction demand.
---

Why are we trying to make a machine out of a bunch of fossils? We need to make a musem expansion to our hall of knowledge and put this on display, it's the right thing to do.

>>9363130
Cont.
New personal suggestions (in order of priority):
*** Additional Woodprocessor and Smelter to speed up construction and help supply our growing army. Dunno where. Probably near river for power source. Watermill also for the new farms.
*** Barracks to house our burgoning militia and soon to be airforce (airnavy?) during off hours.
*** Build market as center piece for southern half of city. Begin plans for airport nearby for future air traffic. (Service both civilian and military? Or seperate?)
*** Expand roads to service new southern buildings.
*** Extend walls to cover southern buildings. Also watchtowers to guard our new aquisition.
*** Upgrade our watchtowers alongside our walls, better weapons and possibly integrating them into the wall when we thicken the wall. Right now they look kinda flimsy and outdated.
*** Study the fossil, learn what you can; DON't try to revive it. Don't want a Frankenstien in the middle of town. In fact post a few guards to prevent any peasant
gawkers from getting into the site itself. (Uh, for thier safety. Don't want anyone falling in, yeah.)

>>9363083
>My face after you made that reference.

>>9363143
>DO try to revive it and turn it into a machine of war.

Fix'd.

We don't need to raise an army since so far we have nothing to defend ourselves from. We need to focus on trade, and improving living conditions for the townspeople. Better dwellings, market, and a hospital are priorities. We need to get word out of our technological achievements and show visitors our splendid giant mech, airship and archaeological dig.

>>9363198
I think you have forgotten the scout we sent west, the one who never returned. Shaboth the Foretold is out there, but we will lay him low with our machines conceived by the genious of our people.

>>9363198
Something ate our scout.
The second one at that.
Something's lurking to the west of us, plotting, waiting, preparing to strike.
Do you not want to be ready when that happens? Do you not love your homeland?

>>9363190
Seconding.

I'm brand new to these threads, but I think creating a robo-dragon would be pretty cool.

hey, the damn fossil/skeleton has been sitting there the whole thread(s), we would be stupid not to allow OP to draw a big skeleton thing lurching out of a pit, and extra stupid to think that the OP doesnt want to see that thing moving.

>>9363190 >>9363273
>4 minutes of time difference
>probably a samefag

We do not want DF style fun here, mmmkay?

ARMY. We need it. Shaboth will come... and we will be ready.

>>9363270
>>9363242

Metagaming. Our settlement is strong and sufficiently protected. Other than extending the wall and guard tower network to the new settlement on the south side of the river, we don't need additional military expenses. An army that sits on its ass all day is a needless waste of manpower, men that could be planting crops or inventing new technology. We need to give all the townspeople militia training so they can all operate rocket launchers if they need to defend themselves, and keep a small guard force for patrolling the perimeter and keeping the peace.

I think the thing which ate our scout may be the same type which is in the pit... Maybe our town is over a Giant Tyrannid cemetery! OMG we are fucked! Every one to the shelters! Soldiers, man those catapults!

>>9363309
I know we've been calling troll and samefag throughout this session, but no. It's a cool idea, and more than one person can support something, you know?

DF style fun IS fun. Whether or not the creature turns out hostile, mechanizing it before revival would be really neat.

Just because you don't want it doesn't make it the common consensus.

>>9363357

more than likely he just was sacrificed to the Cult of the Foretold.

>>9363190

Well, ok. We could do that. Later. Outside the city. With alllll our guns pointed at it. And no arcane magicks within the perimeter please.

>>9363198
Well, yes, the citizen does come first in my mind and the merchants and peasants will need housing once the market and industrial center is made. I'm just trying to also look out for the guys piloting our mechs out there.
You know, the ones who have the guns. If Tropico and Dorffort have taught me anything its always keep your military happy.

Hmm. I also second the hospital idea. Do we have any specialists in the medical field yet?

>>9363306
Exactly. Yet another reason we should build a goddamn robodragon.

>>9363346
While I like your idea of a citizen army, it isn't metagaming to assume that, given the amount of people in the village and the trade that has been happening with other settlements, that Shaboth the Foretold is unknown to our people.

Still, making sure everyone has limited training in ranged combat is fine by me.

No more necromancy bullshit people. If we're going to do anything with it it'll be strapping it's bones on the mech for coolness factor.

>>9363357
>>People who shove 40k into every other thread, ever.

I hate you.

Oh my GOD it still lives. :D

>>9363346
One robodragon would free up the need for a lot of those soldiers...

i just noticed that we don't have any walls or towers on the west side of our village, the same west side that our scouts went bye bye

maybe we should start building some yeah?

The art here is still godly, OP. Thanks very much for doing this.

>>9363439
That doesn't sound very cool.

Besides, we don't need a necromancer, fix a lightning rod to the site and pull a Frankenstein.

>>9363463
Why do we need a robodragon, we have a robot already.

>>9363426

It's possible that Shaboth is known to our village, but I still think having an idle standing army is a bad idea. A citizen army, led by a cadre of professional officers and drawn up when needed, is a better use of resources.

Now, if we could send out military expeditions to explore, colonize and expand our sphere of influence, a standing army WOULD be a good idea. But I'm not sure if OP allows it.

>>9363346
How is understanding that scouts going MIA probably means something hostile is out there metagaming?

>>9363378
Look, we've been at agreement pretty much from the beginning of the session - no magic, no religion, nothing of that - tech only. Using magic to revive a fossil? Digging out a Trojan horse right onto the center of our town? How is that not against everything we've agreed upon?

>>9363481
Dragon will pilot it, as we have no pilot yet. It will be excellent.

>>9363514
...but it won't fit in the cockpit. It'd be like you trying to pilot a paper airplane.

>>9363506

Only one scout disappeared. The other one has just been sent out. You can see the balloon on the latest update pic.

There is no way, in-game, that the disappearance of ONE DUDE merits the expense and effort of keeping a standing army.

>>9363514
Okay, seriously, are you the same guy who wouldn't shut up about the damn pigs from the last thread?

Goddamn, last time I saw this game there were two dudes fishing and that's it.

This is pretty awesome.

>>9363500
how the fuck do you do that anyway?

>>9363506
>>Look, we've been at agreement pretty much from the beginning of the session
Wrong. We've been arguing since the beginning of the session. Just because the player base has shifted and pure science doesn't have the largest vote now--meaning you alone don't still get to dictate things--isn't reason to get butthurt.

Besides, it's perfectly fine to have a village get destroyed AFTER they started trying to add magic to their repertoire of tech.

>>9363547
No, I missed the first two threads, read them both on sup/tg/.

I've gotta say, /tg/ I am disappoint at all the trolling that went on.

Stop trying to kill the village. You're like the faggots that kick anthills and burn cats for fun.

No raising the bones.

>>9363481
See, when we get a giant robot, it's baaaaawwww railroading. If we get a fossil that we intend to make into a giant robot, it's dowant-dowantdowant.
God, /tg/, just how fickle can you get.

- the military intellegence guild has completed their grand air ship.

-test of its main weapon in progress

- weapon uses advanced mix of our mushroom fungus fuel that has been distilled by our top herbalists.


- testing in progress stand by.

Added to the list:

-development of 2nd Mechanical Dreadnought in lower city.
- Military barracks in lower city
- Proposed Airship yard for construction/ maintenance purposes?

>>9363556

I don't think the player base has shifted. It seems pretty even to me in terms of against necromancy to for necromancy.

>>9363605
>>9363605
>>9363605

This city was founded on SCIENCE and AUTOMATION.

I dont think we should move away from that.

>>9363602

Oh wow.

>testing in progress stand by

Please don't fuck up, please don't fuck up, please don't fuck up...

>>9363602
Oh shit! It is gonna go Hindenburg on us, isn't it?

>>9363602
CARRIER HAS ARRIVED

>>9363602
Dat Airship.

>>9363602
That is one bitching airship. Fuck yeah.

Also +1 to fossil rez.

>>9363585
>Stop trying to kill the village. You're like the faggots that kick anthills and burn cats for fun.

No, we're developing a piece of a larger setting. I don't want to see the setting as a whole get fucked up. I think it would be very cool to have a WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE? addition to things, though.

>>9363545
Okay, look, every village we've done so far had some kind of army. Don't you think it's kinda traditional in the world?
I mean, modern Europe or US or Canada or whatever don't really need an army.

>>9363556
Just because you want to ruin everything that has been done so far doesn't mean that everyone else wants to. We've decided on the theme of the village, and we've sticked to it throughout the threads. Lolsuddenly changing the opinion is just stupid after all this time, especially when it's clearly leading to the village's downfall.

The fossil isn't the only thing important about the ruins. We sent scribes to learn about the civilization of the ruins, what exactly have they produced?

>>9363602
Woo, we get airship cannon in the package!

One vote for researching those bones, even if we use up one or two, we'll still have the rest of the skeleton.

>>9363628
Why not?

Also, as previously mentioned we can use SCIENCE on the fossil to animate it. Frankenstein didn't use magic.

>>9363674

I'm not objecting to having an army, I'm just objecting to keeping a STANDING army when those dudes can be multiclassed into doing something useful when there's nothing to fight.

How about we do more RESEARCH on the bones before we decide to reanimate the fucking thing?

>Just because you want to ruin everything that has been done so far doesn't mean that everyone else wants to. We've decided on the theme of the village, and we've sticked to it throughout the threads. Lolsuddenly changing the opinion is just stupid after all this time, especially when it's clearly leading to the village's downfall.

Have you read the first 2 threads? Those had radical shifts in the village direction as things went along. Don't pretend that the demon part of things was there from the beginning. Nor was the god worship.

OP should go with what he thinks would be coolest, there's a split vote on the issue.

>>9363673
You can still get it without creating monstrosities or releasing demons. Humans with tech superiority are bad enough, see Age of Conquest.

Guys, why don't we just base a mech off of the skeleton, but not use the actual parts. No need to involve ourselves in any necromancy. It's not like the bones themselves provide any extra structural integrity and if we don't reanimate it then we are assured it will be entirely under our control.

>>9363673

We already have a giant robot, and now, a goddamn airship.

For a real WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE moment, let's adapt the robot so that it can be carried by the airship. That way, if some other village tries something on us, we can drop a goddamn giant war machine on them from the fucking sky.

In b4 our version of the Hindenburg incident.

>>9363736

THIS. Use it as a BLUEPRINT for a design!

>>9363745
That's less WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE, and more "oh look the tech village comes and stomps your new village again, doesn't that suck"

>>9363720
Coolest? That's not exactly a good way to decide things. If the vote is split then doing the dragon will anger half of the fan base only to appease the other half. He shouldn't make drastic moves like that without having at least a majority of votes for a thing.

Oh man, if the airship explodes, we STILL HAVEN'T TRAINED ANY GODDAMN FIREFIGHTERS! The whole town will burn to the ground!

>>9363688
SCIENCE ON FOSSIL FOR ROBODRAGON, GO

>>9363720
I was there when they were on 4chan and not suptg. So yeah, you can say I read them. As a matter of fact, the demon-worship was kind of spontaneous, though once we decided on that, we sticked to being evil.
Neither the second nor the third village did not see major change, though. We decided to try out good after evil - we did. Then we thought it'd be cool not to worship gods - and we did a village themed like that. It's not like our initial theme was suddenly changed halfway through the thread, and I don't think it should be changing now.

>>9363773
Gee, and not doing it will anger the other half. Way to think that through.

If it's cool enough, then that appeases a good chunk of people right there.

You guys realize that in the next village thread, we might get invaded by mecha warriors and airships from this village? I think we made this one OP.

>>9363805
Hence having this one release a scientific monstrosity onto the world instead would be pretty boss.

In other news, we appear to be autosaging.

>>9363773
agreed, to some extent, we dont want another division like last time.
oh and, instead of being negative and NOIDONTWANTWAAATOYSWAAAPRAM, or vice versa, how about people validate their opinions with logic? if you have an idea, state why you think thats a good idea within the bounds of the village, thats how things would get decided in a village of teck afterall, OP is the only one here with any real "lolsorandum" power, afterall.

You are now aware that the skeleton is the God of Destruction. He drives civilizations who settle over his remains to their peak with brilliant inventions and the secrets of his mushrooms. Then, when he is ready to feed, he teaches them a secret blend of his mushrooms, and causes them all to die in the cataclysm. That is what happened to the other civilization, and that is what will happen to us.

>>9363828

Good idea. After all, in-game, the village has a debate hall. So if someone feels strongly for a development, let him make a proposal in-character, as a villager, in the debate hall, and have others debate him.

>>9363831
So... He's the colonel of Kentucky fried Mushrooms?

>>9363805
Actually, for all we know, we can be building the setting's nazi germany right now. Come flying on the zeppelins, round up everyone - what can a bunch of primitives with swords do against the grenade launchers? - transport them to slave manufactures, etc.

- test complete result as follows

- mixture jets stable, fluid reacts as expected upon mixing at impact point.

- fires allowed to burn themselves out over the next 48 hours. mechanoids dispatched to controll any brush fires.

- research scribes given a mandate to deliver information on excavation site. public grows anctious. some beleive the quarry should be filled in, others beleive the fossil should be distroyed. the lack of information is worrying the public as headway on decifering the scripts etched into the fossilised bones has drawn no answers.

- bridge under construction

- plans to develop the lower lands are now open for discussion with the engineering and trade guilds.

AIRSHIP HUZZAR

>>9363802

That's why I said wait until there's a majority opinion to do anything you fucktard. If it's only going to make half the people happy and piss the other half off then it's not worth it. Doing it now will please your precious chunk of people, but at the cost of the other chunk. If he does one thing or the other it will piss people off, but doing the dragon is a one way street.

>>9363864

All right! That bitchin' flamethrower could be a great help in clearing out swathes of grassland for farming.

The balloon scout! What did he see!?

Reiterating my previous list just in case:

*** Additional Woodprocessor and Smelter to speed up construction and help supply our growing army/city. Dunno where. Probably near river for power source. Watermill also for the new farms.
*** Barracks and armory to house our burgeoning military and soon to be airforce (airnavy?) during off hours.
*** Build market as center piece for southern half of city. Begin plans for airport nearby for future air traffic. (Service both civilian and military? Or seperate?)
*** Expand roads to service new southern buildings.
*** Extend walls to cover southern buildings. Also watchtowers to guard our new aquisition.
*** Upgrade our watchtowers alongside our walls, use better cannons and possibly integrating them (both towers and individual cannons) into the wall when we thicken the wall. Right now they look kinda flimsy and outdated.
---
Personally, I'm going for something akin to an Italian citystate style. Trade-based economy. High-walled city. Cultured citizenry. Small elite, well equipped army and now airforce and the ability to call upon and equip a sizable militia should it come to blows in the future. I mean hell even without the possibility of a dark god walking to our doorstep, our city and its trade routes would be a prime target for highwaymen and brigands if we don't have a show of force.
'sides whats steampunk without Victorian armies to throw around?
Well I guess we could scale back on military a bit and focus on infrastructure more.

>>9363864
>>9363864
>>9363864
>>9363864

Lower area development:
-Improved housing for farmers.
-Expansion of roads
-development of irrigation.
-Airship landing field/ pilots barracks
-Mechanized Guard barracks
- Entertainment/Arts plaza

>>9363864
Walls around the lowlands.

Begin converting all buildings to stone.

Status update on the schoolhouse project

Send letter to engineers about construction of market place and merchant's guild.

>>9363885
Uh, the problem here is that there's no way to know what's the majority's opinion.

I do believe the whole "robodragon" idea to be childish, though.
After all, we can construct complex things like that from the ground up - why even use the fossil we know nothing about for sure for that?
Oh, and if you think we need a behemoth, why the hell did producing the previous one cause so much whining.

>>9363925

I agree to the whole list, but I really want to add a hospital to it.

My fellow citizens,

You have asked time and again for a reduction in the size of our standing military. You have claimed that we need no force of such size. I counter with the following proposal: allow the scientific reanimation of the fossilized creature we have excavated, and the fuzing of the creature into our primary mechanized defense automaton. The means to do so is withing our grasp, as Professor Tesidon can attest. With such a force watching over us, we can free up the majority of our military until such time as an active threat is discovered, without putting ourselves at risk of surprise attack. Furthermore, this fusion would allow our primary defense automaton to be moved from its current location, and provide us mobile ground striking power in addition to the air mobility our airship has provided. Furthermore, it will prove a sizeable defense against such enormous dangers as we have heard exist to the South and to the West, should our man-sized suits prove inadequate.

Gentlemen, I ask for your vote in this.

>>9363864

We've got free reign on the lower terrains? then I suggest we start the plans and infrastructure for a solar ray tower.

When disabled, the tower would retract and let the mirrors reflect the light into the sky, when under attack, the mirrors concentrate all the light in a lens that focuses it and can be oriented for targeting.

pic related.

>>9363864
fuck yeah!

OP i love you but maybe you should put more skill points in you're speed drawing skill cos the waiting is murder on us

What we need pronto is a hangar. Airships need those, winds are killing them, and we don't want our precious damaged, do we?

Let's irrigate the lowlands. Get some canals dug, extend the water supply lower south and convert the area into fertile fields. And build more farms. We need to raise our population numbers.

>>9363950

I never stated my opinion either way. I just want people to realize that making the decision for either side on a divided issue is not a good idea. The best thing to do right now would be to wait, if he does the mecha dragon then he can't turn around and not do it. If he just doesn't act on the suggestion he can always start on it later.

>>9363885
And not doing the dragon will please your precious chunk of people. Why so mad?

>>9363970
Have you not seen the drawthreads? OP is god among artists, really, your typical drawfaggotry is half as well-made and take twice as long to be drawn.

>>9363999
>>If he just doesn't act on the suggestion he can always start on it later.

Right, because we'll come back to this village, ever. And OP hasn't been doing this long enough that he won't want to wrap up soon. This is the longest session already, I doubt it's going to be much longer.

>>9363962
You have my vote.

>>9364016
See >>9363999
If we don't do it right now and wait till the research is over, we can always decide what to do with it later.

>>9363950
>>Oh, and if you think we need a behemoth, why the hell did producing the previous one cause so much whining.

Because faggots.

* build an infirmary
* train massenger birds and build a massenger-bird loft
we need some sort of communication device other villages use massenger birds

>>9364050
See >>9364050

We really can't. Session will be over soon, and then we'll never have another chance.

>>9363955
Ah, whoop, I forgot to add in the hospital suggestion as well.

Addendum:
*** Free(?) Hospital for the sick and injured
*** Let's throw in a Firehouse as well. The city is big enough that a bucket brigade will not be enough to stop a major fire. We need professionals and equipment.

NEED NEW THREAD NEEDED

Then suddenly a meteor falls and destroys the entire town ending this dragon debate faggotry.

>>9364147
And anon creates an entire new thread, just to fill with general b'awwwing.

>>9363962

Gentlemen of the Assembly! Once before the General addresses us with another risky and untested proposal. We have allowed the military to go forward with its plans to create an airborne weapon of war, to arm it with an experimental weapon and to conduct field trials close to our homes. Now, just days later, the General will have us spend time and labor on another wild scheme! I say, enough! Gentlemen of the Assembly, I beg you to put these plans aside, and instead to focus on the construction of a house of healing and the new irrigation plan that will turn the south bank into a breadbasket for our town. We cannot neglect the needs of our citizens.

>>9363962
I vote against that, and I will not explain why.
Ever since the day our founder moved here, where we stand today, we've known that the world is full of malign forces. Those same forces that drove him out of his village, and made him seek refuge in the woods. You know as well as me that the only way to make sure those forces do not pose us any substantial threat is having a standing army as large as we can afford, as well-trained as we can afford, and as well-equipped as we can afford. We can not allow ourselves rest in the falsely perceived safety when our scouts go MIA, and when danger can come from any direction. The only way to have a combat-ready army is having a standing army, no peasant draft is nearly as effective as professionals.
In what comes to your suggestion on constructing one more behemoth using the mysterious remains we've found in the North-East - since the beginning of time the thing we've sought out the most has been knowledge. Destroying a valuable artifact before we even decipher its true meaning - what can be more devastating to the scientific community? And for what? To produce a single more machine of war, ones of which we've made without any artifacts sacrificed!

Just got back to the thread after dinner. Jeez, /tg/. Such whining.

>>9363962
I like how this guy was the only one to rise to the in-character debate challenge thrown down. For all the butthurt from both sides, at least this side put a bit of effort into it.

new thread in 10 mins.

also will be sharing some mech blueprints from the engineering guild.

>>9364203
You chose the absolute worst possible time to post that. Look up buddy.

personaly i like the in character debate idea, also i listen more when its in character talking about the world issues etc .

>>9364233
I hope you caught these two.
>>9364198
>>9364187

>>9364233

If more posters rise to the challenge, would you consider drawing a scene from the debate hall?

>>9364187
You'd speak against the airship? After our careful testing proved successful beyond expectations? The airship that allows us early warning, an extension of our military reach, and provides a model for civilian versions? With the range and speed the airship provides us, we can speed to the rescue of nearby settlements should the oft-rumored malign force loom in this area. By providing this assistance for free, we will secure grateful allies and solidify our security in these parts.

Clearly, professor, you have spent too much time in the lab, and not enough time examining the political realities.

>>9364223
Yeah I saw that, and facepalmed. I like the debate posts in general, though.

Our new abodes are quite fancy, the engineers guild did a bang up job. We've got machines everywhere, it's fantastic! I don't see what all the ruckus is about a pile of bones, all this nonsense when we could be finding more trade sites, phooey! My word, if we let the engineers squabble over it any longer, we'll never get anything done. Can't we just leave the blasted thing alone until we've established just what the bloody hell the thing IS?

>>9364253

We never criticised the airship, and what you say I personally believe, but there are critical diferences between this and that bone-monstrosity that you wish to awake.

While the first will, as you say, allow us to help others and cement alliances, a monster created through who knows what means will only make us closer to that danger you speak of.

Personally, i ask that more research is done in this "fossil" before we try anything rash, we have the responsibility of caring for our people, and protecting them from ALL dangers, we see them now, or not.

>>9364198
We have spent so much time already waiting for these scribes to give us a result from their studies, and what do we have in return? Nothing.

Professor Tesidon's method of electro-animation and mechanical fusing will do more than give us a single new weapon. It will give us a weapon that can fill the role of dozens of armored soldiers, for a fraction of the upkeep.

If you support, as I do, letting our military have the full support needed to protect the citizenry against outside threats, then I ask that you not block this proposal. Having this behemoth alongside our boys in armor would guarantee that we keep them safe. What better to frighten our enemies and draw their blows away from our footsoldiers than this?

>>9364253
I dare remind you, General, that we haven't yet tested our airship against any real foe. Test runs are a huge success, but how will the vehicle behave in actual combat? Will it be able to withstand enemy fire-based attacks? We're yet to find out. Yet, instead of supporting our department and testing the prototype further, you insist on new projects, more and more fantastic. The support we're getting from the industry is not unlimited, and I insist on the airship infrastructure being constructed and further tests conducted before we engage in any technological gambles!

>>9364253

Come now, General! There is no need to bring up this tired issue. Yes, I was against the airship proposal when it was first brought up in this Assembly, but as you are well aware, when the majority voted to let the plan go forward, the project was executed with the full cooperation of the guild of Engineers. The airship is now built, and so I must ask the military: Are you not satisfied? The gilded giant that our pride, the genius Marco built, still stands in the town square, unused! The airship, built to defend us against an enemy that has yet to materialize, stands ready! I ask you, General, will you not be satisfied with the technological marvels that have been created to protect us? Gentlemen of the Assembly, I ask only that you turn your gaze to the needs of the town, to the needs of the people. We have fed the war machine, now it is time to feed the granaries and to provide for the future.

- there is a bell sounded to the west of the town, townsfolk look up in concearn, monicles fall from peoples eyes as they gaze up,

the scout has returned.

- a shape slowly bobbing over the horrison there is no mistake, it is the scouts small airship, it crash lands on the outskirts of the western fringe.

upon retreival the baloon basket is seen to be empty there is a busted pictographic instument it is quickly rushed to the engineering guild, only one pictograph is salvaged from the stained film.

>>9364417
Oh shit.

>>9364417

...

Shite.

Brethren, there are more pressing matters than building an army we might, or might not need. Our City is drowning in mud. We need proper streets, better housing, a solid marketplace. oh, and a bathing-house would be nice. I am tired of living in some run down shed, or sleeping under my workbench in the Laboratory! I want a bed! -- Although I am aware: we don't have a bourgoise or a nobility, but - please, please - we need proper homes.

>>9364380
Need I remind you of your words?
>Once before the General addresses us with another risky and untested proposal. We have allowed the military to go forward with its plans to create an airborne weapon of war, to arm it with an experimental weapon and to conduct field trials close to our homes
We have not seen a field test of the design, because the assembly does not wish to seek war. A notion I wholeheartedly agree with. However, should we not be best prepared for a war, should it seek us? You allowed the airship, but you still speak of it as though it were foolhardy. I am here to testify that it is not.

>monocles fall from peoples eyes as they gaze up

Haha

>>9364346
General, this is outrageous. Scientific research is not something you can order to be done overnight! You are not in your barracks, amongst your brutes!
We're in the middle of investigation, and only time will tell the benefits we're likely to receive - ones that you're so willing to trade for a momentarily military superiority against the foes we have not even yet seen.

>>9364417
I hope this brave soldier's efforts are proof enough that my proposals should be strongly considered. There are hostile forces in the world, gentlemen. Let us be prepared, to our fullest abilities.

>>9364417
And here I was beginning to think I'd live to see thirty-five.

>>9364496
I will not let some martinet grasp my research topic from right under my nose even if all Hell breaks lose, and the river flows magma instead of water! We're not a military settlement, science is the very basis of our civilization, and I will not allow some dim picture of who knows what change that!

*monocle drop*

Ye gods. Gentlemen of the Assembly, I have never wished for war, and I had fervently hoped that I would never see it in my lifetime. However, it seems that the darkness that our founder had worked so hard to escape, is upon us. The Engineer's Guild stands ready to assist in the defense of the town.

>>9364469
>>General, this is outrageous. Scientific research is not something you can order to be done overnight! You are not in your barracks, amongst your brutes!
We're in the middle of investigation, and only time will tell the benefits we're likely to receive - ones that you're so willing to trade for a momentarily military superiority against the foes we have not even yet seen.

Brutes? BRUTES? I would remind you, SIR, that our city's soldiers are volunteers from its citizenry, finely honed into a dedicated force to protect this city's people. Attack me for my willingness to accept the hardships of soldiering alongside my men, very well. But call my soldiers brutes again, and we will take the matter outside. Not all of us can afford to while away our time in comfort and ease. Some of us have a duty to perform, that you do not have your lifestyle snatched away in the night.

As for enemies we have not seen, perhaps you have not been paying attention. This pictograph should speak easily enough for me.

>>9364496

General, i agree that this is worrying, and who know if they might not trace us back.

HOWEVER!

If we're in such danger, should we be going with experiments and more field-tests?

As much as it pains me, this calls not for new fringe technology, but for strengthening the suits that compose our army, duplicating the success we've already had with our airship, and specially, hardening our defenses and wall.

I ask of all the gentlemen in this room, that we set our projects aside and prepare.

>>9364548
And General, how many times do I need to report this man? He is clearly criminally insane, and needs to be isolated from the society.

>>9364584
He is just confused, a simple mushroom farmer
...the fumes
Maybe if we build a place for him to rest to cure his sickness...

>>9364586
I have spoken with the logistics supervisors before I came before you, as any true general should. We have the capacity to do both of these proposals, but what we lack is time for the creation of a new airship. We still have no pilot for the primary automaton, and I beg the assembly to not risk a single citizen soldier's life while we have the option to have a powerful mechanized creature drawing the enemy's ire from them instead.

Let us do both, lest neither prove sufficient.

>>9364577
I am glad that you have nothing to disagree with in the substantial part of my speech. I suggest we all listen to Optician Larem, whose age alone allows him for that, and set our development projects aside while we prepare for defense, should the pictured threat prove to be substantial and not imaginary. Starting risky projects at this moment? Hardly the most efficient course of actions.

>>9364602
Then do so. I am no jailer, nor a judge. I would not step outside the legal bounds of my authority.

>>9364572
United, I am confident that our efforts will see us safe. It would do well to remember that, lest we fall from divisiveness.

>>9364675
How are we to ensure the creature in question does not turn on us, General? Especially since all your efforts to find a suitable pilot for the automaton have yet proven fruitless, and we have nothing to defend with against it should it turn out to be aggressive? What are the checks and balances here, General?

Soldier on OP, soldier on.

Ahem,
Good Morrow, Councilmen, I wish to make a proposal on behalf of the local Architect's Guild. As you know we are expanding our beloved city at a remarkable pace and as such our infrastructure and industry is beginning to feel the strain. Our overworked and overcrowded road system is near breaking point. Everyday the engineers must repave the road as heavy traffic wears away at the narrow cobblestone streets. The bridge that spans the river will never have the capacity to support the new traffic that will inevitably occur as we expand south. I propose that we build a newer high capacity bridge across the river as well as reinforcing and widening the standing one
so it can hold more than one wagon at a time.

I have no personal opinion on the 'correct' size of our military, but should we continue to grow our forces, a new barracks will be needed to house more of our troops.

As is, our current one is full to capacity now that the airship is completed and our weapons stores are overflowing the city armory. I propose that a new barracks be made across the river to help aleviate this problem. In addition a dedicated airfield will help the engineers when servising the airship
Hmm? Oh yes I've just been handed a note from the head Smithy. He says that at our current rate of consumption and expansion we will be needing to commision one new woodprocessing plant and a new smelter. Otherwise our metal production will begin to
falter. Ah yes that reminds me. I currently have the plans for the large market square proposed for the southern quarter. They await final approval. I have taken enough of your time as is gentlemen. The are other minor details here in my proposal that you may read at your discretion. For now I must depart. the Head Architect want's me on site for the reinforcement of the walls.

>>9364685
>>I am glad that you have nothing to disagree with in the substantial part of my speech.
I fear that perhaps you have been spending too much time in the mushroom patches, sir--or perhaps your hearing is failing you. I already addressed the issues you brought forth, in my replies to other gentlemen.
>>I suggest we all listen to Optician Larem, whose age alone allows him for that, and set our development projects aside while we prepare for defense, should the pictured threat prove to be substantial and not imaginary. Starting risky projects at this moment? Hardly the most efficient course of actions.
Yet again, you repeat a concern after I have addressed it. Please, pay attention to the goings-on at this assembly, we have no time for slow thinkers with this menace upon us.

>>9364734
We will proceed with caution, and have available military assets ready to intervene should our scientists find any danger arising from the situation.

What do we have to ensure that our current army remains victorious, other than the bravery and skill of its soldiers? I would give them every advantage, that all of them may return home to their loved ones.

>Writefagging the council debates.

Fuck yes, /tg/. THIS is how you do it, rather than bitch at each other. The thread just got way better.

>>9364756
Easy to Read Proposal for the benefit of OP(in order of priority):
*** Additional Woodprocessor and Smelter to speed up construction and help supply our growing army/city. Dunno where. Probably near river for power source. Watermill also for the new farms.
*** Barracks and armory to house our burgeoning military and soon to be airforce (airnavy?) during off hours.
*** Build (HUEG) market as center piece for southern half of city. Could also double as a sort of avenue for entertainment and festivals if the citizens so chose (and a parade ground for the miltary if you are feeling particularly fascist today, El Presidente).
***Begin plans for airport nearby for future air traffic. (Service both civilian and military? Or seperate?)
*** Expand roads to service new southern buildings and widen them for more traffic.
*** Free(?) Hospital for the sick and injured
*** Let's throw in a Firehouse as well. The city is big enough that a bucket brigade will not be enough to stop a major fire. We need professionals and equipment.
*** Extend walls to cover southern buildings. Also watchtowers to guard our new aquisition.
*** Upgrade our watchtowers alongside our walls, use better cannons and possibly integrating them (both towers and individual cannons) into the wall when we thicken the wall. Right now they look kinda flimsy and outdated.
---
>>9364417
Ye gods, I am late. I knew the hammer would drop, but not when. I say we build the firehouse and hospital immediately. It looks like we may very well need it...

And keep everyone that's not a scholar/engineer away from the dig site. I've warned you about the potential dangers, but it looks like we'll have to excavate this one regardless.

I'm afraid I have some troubling news to report to the Assembly. In the last week, several apprentices have complained to me of headaches and dizzy spells after working in the brewery. And in the last few days, a few of them have taken to sitting outside the Hall, shouting nonsense like the man that was just taken into custody, >>9364548. I'm not sure if this delusion is contagious, but
it does seem that the number of these self-proclaimed "apostles of Shaboth" is increasing... Gentlemen, I would like a quiet house on the edge of town set aside so that I and my apprentices could isolate these people and research the origin of their condition, and a way to cure it.

New Thread?

In terms of the defense of the town, the Engineers' Guild has drafted a joint proposal with the Guild of Architects concerning the reinforcement of the wall and the addition of heavy cannon ramparts to the watchtowers. I believe that the protection of the town requires the expansion and reinforcement of our city wall. With the permission of the Assembly, I shall order my people to proceed with this plan immediately.

>>9364800
You're adding one more variable to the equation, General, one we have no means to calculate. Yet, you insist the solution will change in the direction we consider preferable, without providing ant proof of that. For all we know, the creature is as likely to attack us as it is to attack the enemy - and you yourself just stated that it is no less or even more powerful than our current standing army, admitting that having it on our side would mean zero casualties. Thus, with approximately 50% probability, you're suggesting we build our own doom - against the very same 50% probability of us winning a hypothetical war more easily.
On the other hand, concentrating on building infrastructure and defenses would mean we'd still gain advantage over the opposition without risking certain death at the hands of our own creation- any why should we take that risk?

>>9364848
I am not hallucinating! I saw it...
The black swarm..that thing..crawling in the darkness...
Be warned doom is upon us!

>>9364948

new thread.

i much prefer this method of debate gentlemen, it is much more becoming of our ike..

>>9364921
You are twisting my words, councilman. I never said the behemoth would equate to our current military force strength. Nor would the behemoth will not ensure no soldier dies, but it will provide a superb spearhead for any assault, and greatly increase our soldiers' safety by being a target for opposing forces.

You are also providing statistics that you appear to have pulled from thin air. Professor Tesidson has assured me of his electro-animation process's reliability. I have no idea how you seem to predict a 50% chance of failure.

If you are going to argue, I ask that you at least pay attention. I have little time for rebutting baseless concerns; indeed, soon I must see to the troops.
