>>39349896
the mutation should be gross in general
maybe hyper musculature to the point of sin ripping and the risk of tendons just outright snapping and leading to further mutation combined with re-generation

i.e. your leg is cut open and your calf muscles shatter your bones causing the regeneration to completely warp your leg into some horrid strange shape since although you have incredibly fast re-generation it causes futer mutation the more it goes on.

maybe have it that the more injuries you sustain and the more you push yourself the further you mutate into whatever strange form, weather a massive hulk or some multi armed ooze covered beast.

the leadership cold be almost perfect humans (but better) because they avoid almost all injury or strain outside of controlled or emergency situations.

We really should remember.

Monsters: Very High

Fluffed civs often get bonuses, if we pick someone it has to be someone who is really good at living in a place infested with building sized monstrosities.

>>39350180
I should clarify this is due to a "superhuman" virus similar to FEV except it actually "worked"

those who can be infected; not everyone, are superior to regular humans in all aspects, with latent psychic ability.

but again as these infected push themselves in one direction or another the mutation begins to take control and twist their flesh to fit the needs of the virus

like psychic adepts become masses of immobile flesh basically existing as powerful psychic nodes, warrior adepts become hulking increasingly meatheaded brutes

the un-specialized, those who become horribly injured, or otherwise ignorant end up becoming horrible monsters barely even recognizable as human and often with little sentience left.

Rolled 7 (1d100)

>>39350336

That is actually already what Mutants in general are. Superior to normal humans in toughness, strength, endurance, speed, etc. Their bodies are also rather unstable and prone to rampant mutation unless carefully managed.

The only thing you've suggested there that wouldn't be covered under the basic mutation is psionic ability.

They pay for this heavily in their population growth rates, and technological aptitude.

>>39350314
That's only true for Genie civs though.

>>39350405
its similar yes, the only thing is it leads to a sort of caste system of mutants and the ability to organize a society based upon sphere of mutation
thik like the basic Indian caste system

perhaps the full "Perfects" are similar to the priest class, or alternatively the Psychic adepts represent the priest class while the 'Perfects' represent the nobility/ruler caste.

below those two are the warrior castes, often single minded but usually still quite intelligent though its almost always limited to very practical wisdom rather than higher thinking (military tactical thought basically)

then you have merchants/diplomats/rangers/spies really anything that would require them to seek other societies and contact other groups, or take part in interpersonal activities in general. they look the most like normal humans with minor mutations but no real overt ones.

below that are mere commoners, still functional but otherwise fairly disgusting mutant peasants, not particularly useful but still sane and sentient

last are "outsiders" or untouchable mutants who are little more than monsters and beast-men

Here's my idea for the civ.

We're a group of survivors (or tribals) living in a vast urban ruins, with tall broken skyscrapers reaching to the heavens.

The monsters lurk below in the streets and cities, to counter this we have all of us moved upwards to the towers. Farming in it, building makeshift bridges of rope and wood between them, hoping directly over their heads, and from high above we snipe the monsters that try to make their way up, or any other nasities.

Best part is the view, a post apocalyptia sunrise.

>>39351181

In addition to an HQ choice please choose a Homeground and Terrain.

Choose Homeground

Examples for Homeground below. All actions undertaken within your homeground will have bonuses given to them.

Urban: Start in the middle of a city, no reliable food sources around. Increased bandits, factions, zombies, resources.

Rural: Start in undeveloped country with a small farm already set up, decreased zombies, bandits, monsters, salvage.

Desert: Start with no immediately detectable sources of water or food nearby. Deserts were popular places for scientific and military bases though, and you'll certainly have plenty of space to build.

Forest: Start with nearby wild food sources and plentiful sources of lumber. Substantially increased monsters, mildly increased salvage.

Island: Start in relative safety, fish are plentiful but toxic without effort, few nearby locations. Substantially decreased zombies, bandits, decreased monsters.

Military Base: Start inside a large military complex, the bunker you have taken over includes a small nuclear generator, armory, stockpile of ammunition/survival supplies, and some intel on the base and terrain at large. The base is an attractive target for raiding though. Greatly increased bandits and salvage.

Science Lab: Start with extensive hidden underground complex, scientific supplies and equipment to speed research, and experimental power generators, but dangerous things lurking in some deeper labs. Increased scientific monstrosities.

Vault: Start inside part of a large, self sufficient underground complex. Your node is self-sufficient but poorly fortified, and you don't have much room to expand. Furthermore the Vault is not entirely inhabited, and the things that live underground have started to creep in... Increased factions, monsters, decreased bandits.

Your selected Homeground is contained inside your selected Terrain. Terrain determines general climate and weather behavior, as well as having various other influences. You do not receive bonuses for operating in your terrain. You do not receive penalties for operating in your terrain either, as your civilization's members are assumed to have grown accustomed to its idiosyncrasies.

Examples for Terrain below.

No need to even booby trap behind us. If we seal off all but 1 or so stairwells in the central tower, we should be able to effectively bottleneck the monsters and as long as we have ammo, we'll be able to hold them off.

If they take that stairwell so be it, it only goes up to the 2nd floor, the rest it blocked off. Then we would fight them on a 2nd floor and have another stairwell go up to the 3rd only, etc. until we get down to our last stairwell which would go the remaining stories. That would give us like 8 or 10 floors to go through, until the building is compromised.

Don't forget things like elevator shafts and the building exterior, not everything is necessarily going to need stairs to climb. We'll still want to put lots of spikes or other nasty stuff on any climbable surface.

This land is your land, by birthright. Your fathers lived their lives out in this megacity, and theirs before them, and so on all the way back to the Fall. Or so you've always been told.

But your city has changed over the years. The Old Men of your town talk about how in their day the trees were naught but a minor thing. Isolated to a few old parks and the ragged edges of your concrete jungle. They even say that the trees of their day didn't reach halfway up the trio of skyscrapers you call home, let alone how they tower above you now.

But those were the old days, back when the deals with the caravans and the scavengers had been first negotiated, and the city still had some normal people in it just trying to scrape by. Back then your town had been a hub for damn near everything and your wealth was sufficient to fight off the constant monsters and zombies, and occasional bandit attacks with ease.

But slowly the Forest crept in, and with it came the monsters. By the Gods above, so many monsters. They'd always been plentiful, breeding in the sewers and festering in the abandoned arcologies, but when the Forest began to claim more and more land they became unbearable. Endless streams of teeth, claws, hides as strong as iron, and strength that could tear a man in twain or scale entire floors of a tower in the blink of an eye. It happened suddenly and without explanation. Most of the normal factions either up and left or were wiped out within one or two summers. Damned bandits stuck around though, and the zombies only seemed to grow stronger from the increase in food.

This land is your land though, by birthright. Your fathers adapted to what your grandfathers never could have. The town was moved to the upper floors of a trio of towers, and the lower floors were fortified extensively. External walls were greased and festooned with spikes and barbed wire, internal stairwells and elevator shafts were collapsed or turned into murderholes, and fortifications cropped up to combat the monstrous threat. You even managed to negotiate the materials to make an utterly badass Aquaponics system out of one particularly desperate passing caravan. Bridges and improvised roadways were established between the city's buildings and the ever-growing trees, and even a few secret routes were built out of the old subway systems.

Your fathers survived what many did not, for that is just what you do.

Scouts are dispatched towards the nearest plume of smoke, and should return within the next 2 turns provided they can make it through the monsters.

Meanwhile our forces at home set themselves to further improving our base's already considerable defenses. Machine Gun pillbox networks were looked at, reassessed, and found lacking. Watchtowers were turned into properly stocked sniper nests with alarm systems, and all of our walls and central supports were refurbished and reinforced.

One member named Riley even managed to convince a group to begin working on ground-level walls to seal off the triangle our towers form from the outside...and some progress was made there.

The hissing sound reached a crescendo, ceased for a moment, and then a roar like thunder rolled across the cityscape. The ground behind the fleeing scouts rapidly started to pulse, and then crack, letting out great billows of white smoke. Soon the cracks caught up to the monsters, and as the gusts of white hit them you saw their flesh boil off. Their pursuit quickly changed into flight itself, and several of the monsters ducked off into side alleys or leaped up onto high floors of the surrounding buildings. Several more were not so lucky and were engulfed in the superheated steam, tinging it a slight pink.

Your scouts were lost amid the billows, but without them to focus on your lookouts began to notice other things.

Keep our troops high off the ground so that steam doesn't melt their faces off.

I think some giant ass monster is producing the steam, and it headed towards the NE tower. That's why we saw the cracks going in that direction. Think we should aim the AA Canons at the ground because whatever it is, it's fucking huge.

So its a dead giveaway that bandits are involved.

Your men and women set themselves to the task of rebuilding the shattered remains of the Northeast Tower...only to discover that there was extremely little actual damage done to it. It seems that these bandits were as good as their equipment would suggest, and both the steam and their weapons were geared towards killing while leaving as much loot intact as possible.

>Damage to NE Tower is Minor

However the street around the NE Tower was another matter entirely. It was entirely caved in, leaving a deep scar running halfway around the perimeter of your base, exposing the underground. It's not clear exactly what happened but there are extensive burst pipes at the bottom of the trough, so it would seem that the bandits used the city's utilities network to cause some sort of overload.

Which is odd because you seem to remember someone telling you that there aren't supposed to be automatic safety shutoffs for that sort of thing.

>NE Tower Repaired

Meanwhile your more tech-oriented members dug in to the loot the Bandits had dragged in with them, as well as the gear they themselves had been wearing.

"Jesus fuck, do we even have anything that can cut these fuckers open?"

"Cut them open? Why would you want to do that? Look, this reminds me of something my Old Pa showed me once, let me just try this real quick."
