> TURN 4Mao and Khimor need new players!
>>5879492Their heads turned to flame no different than the flowers of the land near the flame these brutes grow large and lanky, their hands too transforming in the flames. When left alone they are found dancing their flames gasping at the sun as their bodies elongate, but manipulated with the right illusions. Illusions of darkness, of the mundane, of the grey and of order their madness manifests. They start around running and murdering as their petal-like flames become tentacle whips which cut like barbed wire swords.
An expansion north-west begins. There you once more encounter natives. Tribal beings, short humanoids with yellowish skin and pointy ears. There is not enough of them to tame for slaves though unless you wished to purposefully breed them, a population near extinction and in decline.
The slave breeding program disguised as a divine commandment of benevolence helps explode the nation’s population and with more slaves more vampires can be sustained.
A brutal yet effective form of training. Blood flows and the peasants cower in fear. Following pure “poison jar” methodology helps imrpove troop quality… but it may turn out to be a mistake, for you now created peasants which not only are better at fighting but have personal grudges and hatred against certain vampiric lords. The problem is minor, but a few weaker lords do experience getting chopped into pieces and being fed to pigs… with no culprit found.
>>5879903The nation invests in family planning to help expand it’s population in an effort to help populate the north faster. The colonisation finishes as such and sprawling farming communities pop up there.
A new smithy is set up and with it industrial output increases. beyond military goods civilian ones also manage to increase production raising the nations standard of living and making it’s craftsmanship high in quality, said quality could be exploited to bring in even more wealth if trade with another people’s could be set up.
A simple canon is manufactured. It is a most valuable asset in siege and naval warfare.
The Attuners are happy to coexist and trade peacefully. They retreat into land they see as their own and shall peacefully coexist and even cooperate. They see your people’s do not change the land you come in, you are different to them maybe you can act as a bridge between their people who are forced into separation by cruel necessity (dotted line are their tribal territories, keep the red ones away from gunpowder)
A second set of north expansions is announced into a land that is now empty and virgin as your settlers travel north the chieftains of the ribes ask you to take along a few of their own so you may settle together, maybe if they are aq minority a few in number they can live in one land together without causing it to change. (chose if you take them or not)
