Having been defeated by the Lynaran attack, a large amount of the captured army attempts to escape the now Lynaran-held capital with the Serenite rulers, having formulated a plan to escape to one of the larger farming villages North-East of the capital. However, the Lynarans are aware of this plan and send their own troops to intercept the fleeing army. Some of the Serenites manage to escape, but most are slaughtered or captured. As the siege continues, the Lynarans begin to suspect something amiss. However, they soon discover that it was a plot by the Serenites to sneak into the city during the night and assassinate the king. The remaining leaders of the Serenite army, including the king himself, are executed in the name of justice. The Lynarans eventually capture all of the Serenite army and execute them outside the city walls. This causes a great deal of unrest among the Serenite civilians trapped inside the city walls, and many decide to take up arms against the Lynarans. The city is besieged for two weeks before the last of the Serenites are either killed or surrender. ...OOF. Next up is me. Someone post summat real quick.

I guess not, though your country would have to replace one of the NPCs. We'd probably squeeze you in at the end. Meanwhile, the Wrizrecan Emperor petitions the Gods, hoping for a boon of power to help defeat his enemies. The God of the Sea grants him his wish, granting him the ability to control water itself. He uses this power to flood the fields of his enemies, drowning thousands in their own crops. You have acquired a new resource: Waterbending! @Sequence, you're up!

The (less than intelligent and very confused) current leader of Lynara decides that, with its limited resources and remarkably chaotic magic, they will attempt to invade Serenitas for no particular reason. But since the current ruler is only ruler for a day, he decides he has to invade really fast. He declares war on Serenitas and orders all the troops within the city limits to attack the palace. The king of Serenitas quickly calls upon his army, who rush to defend the capital. As the enemy forces enter the city, they find themselves faced with a wall of Serenite defenders. At the same time, many of the Serenites take to the streets in protest against this invasion. The King immediately realizes what a disaster this is going to be, so he orders his men to fall back towards the harbor. The battle continues for several hours, until the Serenite army manages to cut off the retreating army. The invaders realize that the best way to defeat the Serenites would be to surround them and starve them into submission. The Serenites, however, see this as an opportunity to flee the city and regroup. Many Serenites escape the city walls and run for the nearby forest. Upon realizing that his army is surrounded, the King orders his men to retreat. However, the enemy forces continue to pursue them even after the army has retreated beyond the range of their cannons. They now face a hopeless situation, so the king orders his men to throw their swords away and surrender. @Shallan Stormblessed has claimed Serenitas from @Sequence! On their turn, it will be up to them to decide what to do to recover. It is now @The Wandering Wizard's turn!

The High Council has elected a Maesar, although they have not yet declared war any nations. The Maesar called a levy to try to enhance the strength of Eshael Navar's already large navy. Over the next year, several warships were built, but they remained docked due to a lack of funds. Next up will be Shallan Stormblessed

After hearing the news of the demise of the ambassadors, the kingdom of Dalrya doubled down on their secret weapon manufacturing, using the minerals found in their mountains. Their soldiers now wear protective suits made from this new material, which were developed by combining two different types of metal—titanium and adamantium. The result is a suit that is lighter and more flexible than any previous armor—perfect for the army's infiltration tactics. @Matrim's Dice, you now also have a new resource: Titanium Adamandite Armor! @Shallan Stormblessed, you are up

Our story begins in the Holy Year of 0001, marked by a grand festival held in the gods' favor. It was on this day that all the nations of the world each decided on one grand purpose: to become the ruler of all the world! *** The Republic of Astrym decides to sit back and observe. Using their scientists and knowledge, they decide to wait and try to develop new technology. They believe that as long as the other kingdoms are fighting each other, there will be little chance of them being attacked. In the meantime, they develop a new science: the Artifice. By using this, they can make weapons and armaments that aren't made from metal. These weapons are so powerful that they rival those made from the old metals, but much more compact. They also use a newly-developed alloy called Adamantium. This alloy is stronger than any metal known to man, and it's used to create armor. @The Bookwyrm has acquired a new resource: Adamantium armor. *** The kingdom of Nam-Ed is preparing for total conquest, but currently lacks the resources to supply their armies with food for an extended conquest. To remedy this, Lord Sell dispatches a team of ambassadors to the neighboring country of Serenitas to negotiate the terms of a mass purchase of livestock. While the negotiations go well at first, the Nam-Ed ambassador fails to mention that he has two bodyguards accompanying him. The Serenite envoy is unaware that his host has a secret weapon hidden under his cloak. When the time comes for the final contract signing, both sides agree to meet in the Nam-Ed embassy garden. However, when the Nam-Ed guards open the gate to allow the Serenites through, they find three men waiting inside. One of the men is brandishing a sword while the other two have crossbows cocked. The trio immediately opens fire, killing the envoy and both bodyguards before the guards can react. The assassins then proceed to the Nam-Ed ambassador's quarters where they fatally stab the nobleman and steal his valuables. Nam-Ed sends out an immediate response party to track down the murderers. When they arrive at the scene of the crime they find the corpses of the Nam-Ed envoy and his two bodyguards, all shot dead in various places around the garden. @Nameless and @Sequence, both of your ambassadors are now dead!

To clarify: Your own worldbuilding would be completely unaffected. It's up to us, the players, to fill in the gaps for the specifics of what happens. The AI would be giving us the outcomes of our actions, but we'd be the ones deciding what that looked like in-world.

Alright, so I've stumbled upon a small problem. The AI keeps trying to switch to other peoples' perspectives immediately. I imagine this is a result of there being a ton of kingdoms for it to keep track of. Regardless of what that means, we're faced with a couple problems: We don't get all the crazy chaos! Everything's succinct and moves on smoothly. Where's the fun in that? It keeps trying to make decisions for other players, which is... an issue. So there are a few solutions: Keep going as is and hope it gets crazier down the line Allow the bot to make those decisions in order to have more stuff happen per turn Delete the exposition dump so that it stops trying to jump between kingdoms all the time. I'm currently looking at that last one. Other thoughts?

I guess we're in a steampunk fantasy now! Bookwyrm now has another resource: Steam Power. @Nameless, you're up!

@The Bookwyrm The Republic of Astrym decides to sit back and observe. Using their scientists and knowledge, they decide to wait and try to develop new technology. They believe that as long as the other kingdoms are fighting each other, there will be little chance of them being attacked. In the meantime, they develop a new technology: the steam engine.

There is literally nothing that suggests that the creepy mummy man is not Ganondorf

I was curious and reread the bits that are gonna be in the show. By the way, for those of you who wanted to know why we couldn’t have a First Age series instead…

Trailer gud.

@The Bookwyrm, you may fire when ready.

Please do! I'll probably end up swapping one of the NPCs with you. Go for it! As for the High Council members, go ahead and give me a prompt to give the AI.
