Mini Empires RP

[KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him]

@Argenti@mippo@al_lan_mandragoran

This is the Mini Empires RP. If you want to play, you can still sign up here. 

Basically everything is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zU0E9Qc7ep69qmdU0Ez2J6Suh7pEdYN08t3uyKRxmrg/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Yes, the tiles are basically hexagons, because it's better that way.

Grey is unexplored.

All other colours correspond to various empires.

 

Each turn is 6 hours and at the end of each day every person consumes one food from *somewhere* in their Empire. If food is not available, you get the 'Hungry' status effect and lose HP every day. The Hungry effect can be removed if you consume one extra food on a folloqing day. Wood does not work like this and a crafter must go to the hex where wood is present. You can carry any number of resources with you. If you enter another Empire's territory, then you can steal their food unless someone is present to fight over it.

And yes, you all start in the same Empire. I think this would help with understanding how it works.

This thread is for discussion, but you all PM me you actions.

Actions you can take:

• Move. You may take any resources on the tile with you. You move to any adjacent tile, unless you have a horse, in which case you move 2 tiles.
• Farm. If you are on Farmland, you roll your farming skill in d6 and the number of 6's is the number of food farmed.
• Log. Same as farming, but for forest and wood.
• Explore. If you are on an unexplored tile, I roll a number of d20s equal to your scouting skill. The total is how much % it is explored, and once it's 100% I'll reveal what kind of tile it is.
• Fight. I'm keeping combat mechanics a secret for now.
• Craft. If there is wood on your hex, you may attempt to use it as follows:
  • 2 wood -> sword
  • 5 wood -> barrier (for defence)
  • 3 wood -> lance (better for cavalry)
  • 3 wood -> hammer (for breaking barriers)
  • 1 wood -> tourniquet (for staunching wounds)
  • 4 wood -> armour (for defence)
• Revolt. Join a different Empire or start a new one. If you are the only one on your hex, that hex belongs to your new Empire

Empires claim territory when a hex is occupied by one or more of their members and no members from other Empires are present. 

That's it, I think. Begin!

Also, what does this mean?

Is there a maximum amount of actions per turn?

How do I get a horse? How do I gain more subjects for my empire? 

How you win?

Each turn in 6 hours in-game. One action per turn. You get a horse by exploring and be lucky. A d6 is a six-sided dice. You get more subjects by more people signing up. 

How do you win? You don't, I guess.

When does it end?

Actually, scratch that. Don't talk about endings before you've even begun.

So we PM you with our actions?

Yes. You three are, for now, one Empire, so it would be a good idea to communicate what you're doing so you all don't starve. You may also PM someone individually, but just include me if you do.

I don't think the other know this has begun however.

Private message, Do you see that "mail" button? That's how you make a PM.

[Born of Mist He/Him]

Oh thx

@KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren I posted my character.

[KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him]

@Born of Mist, you're in.

[al_lan_mandragoran]

I've got a question.

If you're on a tile with someone else, and you both are gathering resources without spending them, does whoever moves off first get all the resources? Or just the ones that they acquired?

They get all. All that they wish to bring.

Actually, I'm changing that. I will tell the others on that tile, and then they can choose to keep a fraction of resources from that tile, up to resources/playerOnThatTile.

That's fine.

The first turn is complete!

@al_lan_mandragoran - Farming, generated 0 food 

@Born of Mist - Farming, generated 0 food

@Argenti - Moved to the Forest

It was unfortunate, getting no food. The Google Sheet has been updated. 6 hours have passed. If by the end of Turn 4, 3 food has not been generated, at least one of you will starve! Unless, of course, someone leaves the current Empire and gets food themselves.

Discuss here (if you wish) and PM me your next actions. You may also PM each other, just include me if you do.

In PM please.

[KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him]

Alright.

1 food generated by @al_lan_mandragoran, 2 by @Born of Mist, for a total of 3 food! No one will starve!

@Argenti gathered 1 wood!

Another 6 hours have passed!

3rd round, begin!
