This becomes handy once your units get cheaper than the default 6/6 progress, and thus a single die can get you more than one unit with max roll.

Turn 37
1. In the aftermath of Billy’s Rebellion the Assembly of Voices decides that something must be done with the youth, their minds were too easily poisoned by the promises of a madman. It is decided that a school must be made and compulsory education for all young goats to learn to cherish the spirit of democracy of which the republic is founded.

2. From plates of copper new armor will be created to better equip the goatmen and defend them even further.
Turn 40
1. A small fishing wharf is created heading out into the sea for men to fish off of.
2. Small boats are created to better carry men out to sea and along the coasts.
Turn 41

2. For the love of god cultivate power (1/?+3)
Turn 43
3-4. All four units of Patrolmen venture into the woods to capture the children of the Big Bad Wolf and drag them back to Capraopolis. In time these beasts will be broken and tamed like the wild children who followed that fool Billy.
Turn 44
1. The Boats created were small and slow, perhaps the research of proper boatbuilding technology was the path forward.
2. A whole copper shield was likely not to work but a wooden shield with a copper reinforced rim would work well enough. (?/?)
Turn 45
1. Work continues on the market slowly enriching the nation and all the merchants within it 5/6
2. To better transport goods around the nation an eldar goat has created a strange thing called a wheel and is attaching it to a wooden box… perhaps we should look into these “Carts”
Turn 46
1. When not at school young goats are sent out into the verdants plains searching for new animals that could be of use to the nation
2. The Eldar Medicine goats seek out new plants to grow and utilize, perhaps something that can be used to create new cloth

>CRIT FAIL >Other [Missing First Speaker]
The Republic is incredibly unstable recently, and without a leadership capable of steering it away from danger, it's yet again in peril. This is a permanent, negative trait that will only be removed once the speaker is found again - or replaced.

1-4. [The Imperial Inquisition]
Since the time of the first revolt by the acid spitters, and now the complete and mysterious berzerking of the Worker-Soldiers, the Empress has expressed her deepest displeasure and concern. She insists the Aphids devise a new breed of ant-aphid hybrid. One which combines their intelligence and the strong body of the worker, one with the mental fortitude and willpower to resist even the harshest of temptations. Those genes coded for mutation must be amplified, and they will be the watchmen of the Formicae Imperium
>Apply Magi-Relay 5-8. [Hive Mind Self-Correction]
The populace at large and the greater hive mind can be relied upon, theorizes the Magi. Abberant behavior such as that of the acid spitters and the other ants could be 'drowned out' by the concentrated thought patterns of the masses at large, their collective gestalt of obedience and loyalty use to drown and suppress all dissentious thought patterns and anomalous behavior. The Queen tasks her Magi with seeing this effect to reality.

Builder_Referee !!4bMkQrXIEyU ID:bkqgPXnv Tue 21 May 2024 15:47:45 No. 6012098 Report A bit of FAQ and specifics, I guess
As a rule of thumb:
If just a single die is used for a roll, it takes a full brunt of the low roll.
To delve a bit into the math
At 5, it is still manageable, and tech, infra and consumables can overcome it or at least ignore the negative impact (since you need a bonus of "only" 16 - high, but doable), but at 4 it's pretty fucking tough (takes a bonus of 31, nigh-impossible), while 3 and 2 are effectively bad outcome no matter what, unless you can muster a pile-up that adds up to like +60 to die outcome (read: virtually impossible).
>>6011738 However, it doesn't BURN the consumables used, it means they aren't applied when the actual penalty happens. They would be only used up when they actually can turn the action into getting any progress. This particular case still lacked the sufficient amount to overcome it. In other words, what would you like more: crappy progress from consumables due to penalised roll, or postponed, proper progress from consumables a turn later?
Consumables:
They exist to write-in your own stuff over them, not as answer to all. It's effectively a plot coupon
>>6011302 Mate, if you plan to do it this abstract, and trying to catch up so many turns, I'm already done. I'm not talking fluff, but how wishy-washy and unspecific the commands are. They are effectively "do thing", without telling what the thing is supposed to be and barely hinting what it's supposed to to. And I refuse to work with "whatever, man" style of commands.
The game operates on the principle of you knowing what you want and inserting it into the game, rather than me rolling from some table to decide if you get, dunno, obsidian shard deposit, singing fruits, ruins of Not!Qingdao or maybe a flock of flying bison from search - (You) have to specify that stuff, and the consumables are there to help with the task, rather than provide concrete, exact result and resource.
If you are new to this whole builder thing, do tell.
Silver Guardians
Rolled 19, 12, 56 = 87 (3d100) >>6012098 Ah, that's cool. When an action has consumables in it's list of things it's using should I leave it there for the duration of the action? I've been removing them after the first dice resolves but it sounds like it might be less clear than that.

Silver Guardians
>>6012146 Oh, dice can total up? I sort of assumed they each operated independently. Punitive (2-5) still trigger independently though, right? So it's not a 19 and a 12, it's a 31? That has some pretty fascinating implications, two dice together are a lot more powerful than two dice separately.

>>6012153 They do operate independently... unless there is 5 or less on any dice. Then you first have to cover for the hole created by the penal outcome, and then whatever progress is left will be applied. Bonuses are applied to each die separately, too, so rolling 21, 22 and 23 is better than just rolling 66 (as long as the bonus is big enough). Of course the counter-balance is that you might roll 99, 98 and 97 instead, which will be a total overkill for the action at hand, and the surplus will be simply wasted.

>>6012339 Ok, finally time to reply
>/? Those exist to avoid meta bullshit on important/big/game-changing/yes actions.
Whenever APPLICABLE, things spillover and/or banked. Not always, but still
>skipping bonusem I would rather have them listed, for at least two big reasons
- unit work as sum of parts involved in making them, but they MUST be listed, as that governs how much progress they need, how strong they will be and what traits they will have
- for every other action I have both easier time eyeballing things and, more importantly, get fuel for potential fails/nat100s
That doesn't mean you have to list every minutae of details, but throwing gist of it helps considerably - Silver Guardians are a good example due to sheer amount of factors (techs, structures, resources, consumables, different power and traits of units and constantly re-allocating them) involved.
>luxuries and fluff To not spill my beans - for I hate meta faggotry - EVERYTHING has an application. Part of what the entire "Others" category is for is to account for stuff that isn't simply building/tech/unit, yet still affects things around

Bring the young along, so they may learn about what berries are edible, and which are not.
Turn 2, both dice: Check out the nearby mountaintop, to see if it is suitable as a prayer spot. A serene place to clear ones mind would only be good for the populace.
Turn 3, first dice: Try to tame some birds. Birds are the most free animal there is, and only a bird would suffice as a proper pet.
Turn 3, second dice: Gather the families for discussions. By hearing the opinions of the people, it would be easier for Randeen to make decisions with the support of the families.
Im testing with three turns for now. Does this look good (or better)?

>>6016626 Math-wise, a single die can provide up to +8 progress without a nat100 (which is +10 progress), but that would take horrible amount of bonuses to a roll that's almost nat100 anyway. +7 is pretty much most you can squeeze from a non-nat100 roll, assuming the right situation and set of bonuses.
It is flat-out impossible to get more than +8 from a single dice without rolling 100, which in turn over-rides any potential bonuses (so you won't get, say, +11 thanks to a combo of nat100 and bonuses to roll outcome, it's just +10, period)

>>6019919 >>6020156 Regarding Imperial Hive™
The massive seat of power for the imperial court, with all the space and infrastructure to both manage the empire and allow the Empress to breed new generations unmolested. The court is busy with both pleasing the empress and making sure she is properly informed about everything. The military headquarters are set in the bottom levels, providing both security and place to station commanders and manage army movement - for every ant should be a soldier.

Rolled 76, 10, 72, 9, 1, 6, 18, 37, 19, 24 = 272 (10d100) Hey QM, I doubled checked but I'm not entirely sure how to visually envision the amount of land expansion on the map.
Being a bit conservative on how you've described Southward Expansion (i.e. reaching the 'Salty Lake') and that Eastward Expansion is done (which I wanted to be along the mountain ridge) this is what I'm imagining is completed so far, and pink is the unfinished Westward expansion.
I suppose I'll also try and include map goals for how much and where I wanna expand into, then you can tell me how much of it I can accomplish per X/Y action
Turns 83-84
1. Finish raising another Pioneer Ant! The Empire's ambition for territory is vast. 3/4

2-3. Let us work towards completing the Westward expansion, along the mountains! 13/18
4-5. Now that we have reached the great salty lake, the rest of the Primordial Jungle shall be ours. Expand southeast (fill the forest along the river)
6. If we haven't already, expand eastward along that little desert tile with the strange tower. Maybe we can find out what it is!

>What's max tier of things V
The only thing unlimited is in theory the unit's bonus to dice outcome, but eventually, the debuff for cramming too many things will render it impossible to cram any more (but that would be at double-digit ranges, so no point stressing)
Things without an I to them when given in turn updated CAN NOT be "upgraded". Vast majority of them are in Other category and serve as fluff/fixed bonus of specific value.
And something that I've noticed way earlier: things with ®, as long as they were given with an I on turn update, can be further upgraded/expanded/whatever, just as if it was a normal building or technology.
Example:
[Confederated Bureaucracy I ®] can be simply upgraded, for it is better than the default variant due to being an unique feature from rolling a nat100

The revision I made to those rules means that pop only grows from actions (less busy work each turn/every x turns, much faster to implement without having to calculate a log) and it actually does something after reaching sufficiently high levels (or being decreased badly enough)

"The Empire expects every ant to do their duty."

The desperate battle at the front continues, ants are dying by the hundreds, chopped to pieces by Termite pincers or melted into fleshy goop by Bombards. Some termites are not even slowed down, simply plow forward with ants biting at them.
And yet the Ants fight on still. They fight because they do not simply understand they eyes of the Empire are upon them, they -feel- it. The weight of the hive mind drives them onward, the will of thousands of ants encouraging them to fight.
So it is the same as a fresh wave of reinforcements marches into the frey. They move in lockstep, waving high a Dye'd banner, even as the sounds of battle and carnage before them rage on. None has known anything other than having been hatched and given a weapon, but each knows their purpose. They fight now, so that those that come after them need not fight. They go to war now, to buy peace for their unborn brethren and those still behind them.
They fight, for they were born to fight.

To me Metallurgy is all about the composition of the metallic alloys, while Metalworking is the actual work of shaping them. The idea is that the latest golem designs are calling for more and more delicate parts, small hinges, bearings, little gears. If we really want to differentiate, changing Metalworking to Clockwork would work well, my next golem project is going to be Scribe Golems, and they're going to require small delicate parts to handle ink work.

FAQ
>What's the bloody difference, mate? As described, one is a general, catch-it-all tech that in the same time goes into the level of granularity that the game simply doesn't account for. And there is a tech that does that job (won't tell which, but it should be pretty obvious), while they wouldn't really "stack" just because they have different name. The other is still a catch-it-all tech, but oriented toward details, aka something Guardians don't have (being geared for very literal mass production), without having to go into overly narrow details in the same time on the specifics of what the tech does and when it applies.
The difference comes also application-wise: despite deceptively wide term, metalworking would have less application (read: only units made out of metal) vs. precision work, that applies a small, but actual umbrella bonus to everything.
Consider the following:
Part of the reason why so many Formicus "components" are under Other rather than Tech is that they are too narrow and one-off by design, but that doesn't make them invalid per se. However, they also allow to balance out how ants have a massive bonus to large quantity of units - they are crap by design, since they don't have exactly tiers to stack for unit bonus, but there is a crapload of units themselves and they can still get unit tags from those components, just not the high +x to the dice outcome.

The armour calculation at this scale is a fucking nightmare every round, since not all units have it and they are not in a neat order either (which is ok gameplay-wise, just pointing the calculation side of this), so it makes me double- and triple-check everything. And that's a mere flat modifier to the math.

FAQ
>>6030659 >Can an automated +1 progress bonus finish something on its own? Unfortunately no. As stated, automatically adds +1 progress to a single ACTION. The word "action" is the key here - it can bolster a move you are making, using at least a single die, but without die, there is no action to be automatically helped with. It is a highly useful bonus that mitigates bad dice outcomes and what not, but it does require a roll to happen in the first place.

1-5. By this stage, as the seasons have come and gone, many more ants have known war than have known peace, peace a dream spoken of in generations past, known only to the Empress and the Princesses. But it is a dream we work toward, peace, so that the empire may grow again.
But that peace must be bought first, at whatever price demanded. For the ants, there is still only war. They live to fight, and they fight to live.

The prince seeks the nearest of them, weary yet he must. For the Termite Khanate had opened their eyes that there is indeed more intelligence to this world than themselves, and in a very bloody way indeed. If there were other intelligent lifeforms out there besides ant and termite, he has a duty to find out: be they friend or foe. Salvation or our doom.
The prince flies overhead, telegraphing his presence visibly, before landing a distance from them. He plants his spear to the earth upside down, a symbol of non-aggression, and waves his antennae. Through these it speaks not with mandibles, but with magic, that would be easily discernable to any mage.
"I am emissary of the Imperia of Ant, and her Majesty the Empress. Who are thou, whoms't we hath yet not seen?"
Zair al dakar
>>6032968 A well dressed old man man accompanied by a heavily armored dwarf armed with a strange red blade looked upon the battlefield taking note of the loses and writing an intelligence report meant for their superiors. upon being approached they look at each other and whisper in their own language.
"it appears we have been spotted." The human placed a hand upon his arcane focus in preparation for a possible struggle.
"Hmm, we are on the eve of intervention and the legions are ready, would it matter if we continued to hide our presence" The Armored dwarf sheathes his weapon and briefly turn at the ant thing
"Hm, No it would not" The human turned over to the ant after cast a spell upon themselves allowing them to speak the ant's language instead of just understanding it.
"We are observers of the Mountain Confederation, we are scouting the area for the legion in preparation for an intervention in your war w-" He stopped himself from saying that they were to intervene on the termites behalf. perhaps it would be unwise to openly pick sides at the moment.
"are you not gonna tell them?" The dwarf legionnaire looked at the battle mage and the human nodded. sadly he could not speak to him in secret as the spell forces him to speak in a universal language.
"What are you doing so far from your lines prince?"
Empress Genetrix
>>6032990 "I am a winged one. I am the eyes of the Empire, which surveyeth from above. Just so, it appears thou art also thy peoples eyes."
The prince is quiet, as if contemplating his words.
"We hath not heard of the Mountain Confederation. By the sound of its name, thy people live and dwell amongst the cleft of the rock much like ours. By thy lack of blades drawn, and the words we doth share, you are not like the Termites who slew us in treachery and waged war upon us, unprovoked and without mercy nor civility. Would that we could live in peace with them, brake grain and leaf and stone together, but they hath spurned the hand and brandish'd the claw.
This is all we know of others, and so I ask, what manner of people are they of the Mountain?"
Zair al dakar
>>6033009 "Litigious, Diligent and a multitude. Sad we couldn't bring Centurion Samir. He'd get a kick out of the hill halflings." The Dwarf snickers and starts
"We are a honorable people we are also a multitude of peoples some tall some small but overall we're pretty bureaucratic and fairly rigid in our principles, however we heard differently you invaded their land many of the confederation see you as an expansionist nation that may threaten our borders and in turn may seek to wipe out the termites whom some wish to join our confederation. " The human seemed intrigued, perhaps they were already trying to sway them.
"Should I get the diplomatic forms out or should I hold off on that Oh and you got a pen? I lost mine during the last attack" The dwarf is rifling to his belongings looking for a folder labeled 'Diplomatic forms and declarations'.
Empress Genetrix
>>6033028 "Then as an honorable people know this. Ours is peaceable people. We expand, as all living things do, and we came upon lands that seemed to be uninhabited. Were we approached by Termites, declaring it to be their land? Nay, yet all those who were sent were slain without a word, without warning nor message. We feared what lay there, be it plague, a magical malady, or worse. And so we gathered our courage to face the danger a second time. Then again, we settled, the disaster seemingly avoided a second time. Seasons came and went, yet we hath no contact with any other living beings, only the quiet of peace.
Then, when the settlers again had dug into the earth and made to live there, did the Termites march upon us. Only then, when we were vulnerable, did they proclaim we were intruders.
Did they send envoy or emissary? Nay.
Did they send demands that we leave, allow for us to withdraw our presence? Nay.
Did they offer terms, demands for surrender, the basic decency of sparing civilians? Nay.
Did they cease hostilities when we were driven away from lands claimed by them? Nay.
They marched upon us. And we have been fighting a war of survival, for our very existence, for generations since.
If you an honorable people, would prefer them to join thy confederation than ours, then truly are we are lost and woefully mistaken on what honor means."
Zair al dakar
Rolled 56 (1d100) >>6033079 "Shit we've already armed them." The Legionnaire huffs clearly believing the ant's story
"No but our reports did say they had claimed their land first. comparing your arms to their it appears they had no other recourse had they made themselves known you would have had the upperhand.
We will however concede their conduct has been unbecoming however we had just assumed it was how non humanoids fought. Though if you are correct then you have a problem, I'd like to believe you but my hand are tied so I will instead warn you.
The Confederate council with incomplete information has already passed the motion to intervene on the termite's behalf. The legions are coming to fight by their side, For the time being it is too late but I will plead your case to the legate of the vanguard to post pone until we can better asses the situation. Come Nasir, we must go now time is wasting." The battle mage puts a hand on nasir's shoulder and the two disappears in a flash of light
1-49 The Legions stand down 50-100 The intervention goes as planned Zair al dakar
Quoted By:
>>6033101 Nasir, the Legionnaire bodyguard to the mage and the Tamil the Mage Observer met with the camp legates however though they were able to make a good case for the ants many of the officers thought that the ant prince were attempting to sway the two and most likely omitting or misrepresenting information. However doubt begins to form in the validity and righteousness of the legionary intervention in the ant termite war, and perhaps it will spread the longer the war goes on or the more pressure the ants put in. As for the two observers they were assigned to a rear position protecting the supply lines and weapons shipment to the termites from bandits or possible ant attack.
Empress Genetrix
Quoted By:
>>6033101 The Ant stares at where they were.
A flurry of emotions ripples through him, and through the hive mind by extension.
These strange beings were coming. They were coming alongside the Termites.
To an outsider, it should have seen a terrible thing, a devastating thing. And yet, to the ants, there was hope.
For unlike the Termites, who sought only their death, who had never spoken more than a word of violence, who could never be reasoned with, these creatures could talk. They could talk!
A conversation to be held, a people of honour.
If they marched upon the hive, then the ants would have someone they could surrender to, rather than face total annihilation.
For a brief moment, the ants saw an end to the war in sight. 'We will have done our job, when we live long enough to see these creatures attacking us.'
For now, the Prince returned to the endless war. The War of Life.

Empress Genetrix
>>6033131 If this happens, then the legionnaires will find their path unimpeded.
Instead, the first thing they will see is more ant princesses, flown above the termite horde, spaced strategically. They will point the legionaires towards the swiftest way toward the hive, as well as locations of caches of food and water. Should they demand it, the princes will surrender themselves willingly.
Ant Soldiers are given strict orders to defend the hive and hold back the Termite tide while the strangers are swiftly brought forward, hoping their intervention could mean the end of the endless war. Thousands of ant civilians part ways for them, many laying leaves and flowers in their path, their telepathic voices crying out for the salvation of the Empire from a foe that sought only their death.

Meanwhile the magistrate meant to handle the refugees which they expected to be minimal is sending out panicked calls for more magistrates as the work load becomes unbearable to him. If needed the legions will move to protect the ant civilians should the termite move to attack them.

>>6033143 Oh dear. Oh dear. I knew I should have made that fire department.
Empress Genetrix
>>6033136 Hundreds, thousands of ant civilians, cut off from the hive and unable to be put to the defense, flock to these camps. They drag the bodies of the wounded, many missing one, two, even three limbs, victims of Termite indiscriminate attacks.
The ants surprisingly fill out the paperwork with deft ease. It was as if once the very first ant was shown how to do so, now every single one of them knew *exactly* how to do it, filling in their name (which was a number) and marching with surprising organization.
Always organization. This wasn't a disheveled mass of civilians, they assembled themselves by rank, by file, orderly . . .quietly. That was the strangest part of it, for a mass of refugee's, there were no voices. At least no voices the average person could hear. When addressed, an ant would speak, and reply, into the mind of the one who asked. But as a mass they just quietly moved into place, willing there to be order and so it was. It would soon transpire that it was not having to sort through the chaos, for the ants seemed to repel chaos, but the sheer *volume* of ants applying was staggering. The a few princes themselves offered helpful calculations as to the hundreds of gallons of inks they would need, the dozens upon dozens of tonnes of paper, the means and method to store it.
The notion of paper intrigued the ants, purposing dried leaves to written information. Though it confused them. Why did these. . .'humanoids' have to write so much? Could they not simply remember it among their collective?
That was when the ants noticed something. The noise. The humanoids relied on individual noise communication, face to face, or in these written forms. Talking, shouting even. They had no way to reach out to each other across distance. The idea was almost terrifying. What would it be like, not to hear the voices of ones kin?

>>6033152 In contrast to the ants the forces of the confederacy were in chaos having prepared for war now they were doing civilian relief efforts. The sheer volume of ants overwhelmed most camps having to expand their facilities the legionnaires and the attached magisters were thankful for the princes' aid in organizing the ants and took note of their neat and ordered masses of ants. However this wasn't enough some of the ants would be left to the mercies of the termites when some of the camps refused anymore new entries. While in the camps themselves there would not be enough food nor water to feed the ant refugees and amply supply the legions. The logistics of the confederacy cannot handle this and so a controversial order would be given by the generals of the legion, the ants would be forced to march to the borders of the confederacy with some escort and with whatever supply can be spared. The march would be brutal the ones tasked with guarding the ants doing their best and some even succumbing to starvation after refusing their rations so that the refugees could have more to eat. Despite all this however the march would kill 3 out of 10 ants that were forced to marched, most would die of starvation though some would be lost due to termite opportunist dragging unattended ants into the night where they were never heard from again. Once in confederate borders however the sparsely populated but heavily developed frontier settlements could accomodate the influx of new faces and many ants would be put to work in producing and distributing agricultural products.
Empress Genetrix
>>6033224 3 out of 10 ants slain. The vast majority of those were themselves already wounded, unable to join the efforts of foraging and bereft of the vast stockpiles of the hive, their bodies succumbed to the effort of self healing. Ant lives were short, but purposeful.
And yet, even this number would have been considered a massive success and a herculean effort by humans. It was a wonder if any humans would have survived the same conditions at all.
The ant civilians marched as if marching was something they had practiced their entire lives, forming long columns, with the stronger of them standing post. "The Drive March" they called it. Again, without the need for shouting or men upon horses or even wizards projecting their voices, the ants organized themselves and nearly as soon as the order was given, the ant civilians were on the move within 10 minutes. They marched by day, and they marched even in the night when men and horse found it hard to see without magic. The ants did not sleep like men, but took short naps, surrounded by their bretheren, before waking to resume work again all while standing. All this would needing to stop. Constant movement without pause.
They ate as they marched, some moving ahead to hew down the trees for leaves, others to hunt beasts along the way. They drank rivers, ponds and streams, forming chains of ants which would collect water and gather it to the march. It wasn't enough of course, they couldn't feed the worst of them. And so the worst off died. And then something that would seem very morbid. The ants *ate* their dead to sustain the living. When asked, the ants insisted that nothing go to waste. Even the wounded who had yet to die seemed themselves happy to know that their lives would carry on in the 'Flesh of the Hive', to live forever, and be born anew one day.
It would appear to the humanoids that some ants were lost, dragged to their doom by termites, many wounded. This was true, and yet there was purpose even here. Strangeley these wounded ants would choose to march ahead of the drive, away from the cover of legionaires. To the humanoids it would seem as if those ants were never heard of again, yet when they perished, the march knew to shift left, to move right, avoiding those places they vanished. These ants were bait, their deaths warnings to the civilians to avoid that place. Literal warnings, for their names and numbers and even their last words were known to the march. For they heard them. They heard their cries of pain and warning and loyalty to the Empress
Indeed, would any mortals humans have survived the same conditions? Not trained and supplied legionaires, not expert magisters, just men with naught but the clothes on their back and so many wounded. Even the most optimistic calculations by magistrates would surmise that if this same number of humans, without benefit of magic, prepared logistics, vehicles, had been put to the same conditions, it was hard to see even 1 out of 10 surviving
Empress Genetrix
Quoted By:
>>6033403 As the ants arrived to the frontier settlement, the Confederates would observe a very large cluster in the march. As if the ants were surrounding something with their very bodies.
Once in the safety of the frontier settlement, a huge ant would step from the cluster. "She" introduced herself as Princess Thermidae, daughter of the Empress Genertix, and she would thank the legionaires for providing them with a new home to dwell in. In her arms she carried egg and child, and many handmaidens walked behind her carrying more.
When the ants were instructed to 'prepare and distribute agricultural products', they wasted no time, and began to forage, and farm, and deliver their uncanny ability to organize. One a single ant had been to a place, seen and surveyed it, performed a task, all the others did the same as if they had been doing it their entire lives.
The ants put themselves to work. And they were *very* good at it.
---
Far beyond elsewhere, in the depths of the chambers, a being the size of a whale purred to herself. No matter the worst outcome, the Imperium would carry on. The hive would live.
The generals were pleased. The wounded and most non-combat viable civilians now found safety eslewhere, and would not drain further the food reserves. The strangers had even found them a new hive to dwell in, and a princess was among them. This was good news.
Now their efforts returned to the war, with less to distract their efforts.

Quoted By:
>>6033503 The Confederation is marching to intervene in the war and put an end to it via enforced diplomacy. They have:
-Chosen to minimize infrastructural damage
-Set up refugee camps for Ant Civilians cut off by the war
-Are protecting said civilians from any further predation by Termites
The ants. exhausted and drained by war and in on condition to carry on a fight any further war, are aware of this. They feel they can properly surrender to the Confederation, rather than the Khanate who have displayed only genocidal actions and would surely kill all the ants if they gave in to them.
The ants current goal is to survive long enough for the Confederation to arrive and, hopefully, force the remaining termites into putting an end to the war. In which case, the exhausted Empire will cease hostilities and proceed with negotiations with the Confederation.

This is it. This is the moment. This is the hour. All eyes turn upon the Queen and the Queen's eyes turn upon her denizens. All ants bear witness to this climactic fight, projected across the hivemind, even to the refugee's within the Confederation. Hearts beat and minds think as one.
Four divisions of the Queen's Royal Guards, heavy ant soldiers, stand ready, bedecked in their heavy exoskeleton armor, ready to lay down their life for their mother, their Queen, the very heart of the Empire.
The doors to her chamber start to buckle with the thudding of giant termite pincers, even as the sounds of battle rage outside. Ants fighting to slow them down even still.
As the door crumbles, the Royal Guards raise their weapons high and let out a loud warcry: "FOR EMPRESS AND IMPERIUM"
They charge!

The eggs behind her, the battle before her. The only ants left at her side were her attendants. Handmaidens and magi physicians who attended to her royal body and the eggs. Some used primitive sciences, many more used magic for magic is what they knew of healing.
When faced with the prospect of dying as their queen was slain, or dying to defend her, the choice was natural. The Queen's own physicians picked up blades and scalpels, cutting tools and more.
If the Empire survives, this would be the known as the day the first combat medics were formed. Those who could provide healing on the battlefield!
And if the Empire were to live, there would be healing to be done.

The invasion is over. No enemy forces remain... except for the treacherous Confederates. An uneasy stand-down follows.
There isn't much to celebrate. Most of the ants that knew life outside war is no longer present in the boundaries of the hive. The rest doesn't really know what to do with themselves, now that there are other goals than gallantly die while facing enemy. It's a weird time for the Imperia.

An envoy is sent, along with food, water, and whatever basic medical supplies can be sent.
They bow, as emissaries, and speak to the Confederate Army. At their head, a prince speaks.
"Welcome to the Imperia, soldiers and magistrates of the Confederacy. Thou hath recieved the greeting the termites given unto their 'reinforcements'. We the ants greet thee with arms turned aside and the hands of peace. 'Tis is a pity it were not in better times.
I pray the legionaire and the mage I hath spoken remains in good health. They spake of a people of honour, who wert willing to accept they not of their race into thy fold. From how thou hast treated our refugees, these words ring true.
And it is in this we pray our hopes are not dashed. The Empire wert willing to accept the Termites into the confederation. Doth the empire mean to reject the Ants petition to the same?"

Despite the clamour of voices reaching out to the veterans, they who should be heroes, who could easily have found tasks elsewhere, been modified for greater aspirations, they receive no answer. They cannot hear their thoughts.
The Inquisitors immediately guess correctly that in hatching these warriors so early, there was a defect somewhere between their antennae and their minds, such that the will of the hive could not reach them. It was for this very task the Inquisition itself was formed and birthed, to aid the hivemind in self governance.
And so it is with great reluctance, and yet more pleas to desist, the the hive battles itself after having only just thrown back the foe. They can only pray that perhaps some of these maddened ones might find sanity and surrender, but if the problem is in the brain itself, those hopes are few and grim.

The Inquisitors have a theory, given the hive relies so much on their arcane communications and relay network, what if a new kind of Inqusitor were bred. One with very strong and powerful antennae, who could more readily channel the will of the hive. These might have the chance to reach out to the rebels.
in any case, it's clear the Inquisition can no longer function as a purely civilian affair, and so new military inquisitors are sought after. Maybe with their help, the wayward rebels can be reached and made to stand down and sea reason, or at least have their murderous impulses delayed long enough for others to stop them.

However there is a slight issue as due to their hive mind nature their voting population will be limited until further notice while the meta-ethics committee can come to a consensus on whether or not hive mind creatures should have an equal vote as an individual. They also note that the refugees once properly stocked with food will be returned to their homeland provided they choose to do so as those that remain may apply for confederate citizenship though their rights will be limited as the meta-ethics committee are still debating the personhood of the a hivemind drone.

Quoted By:
>>6033938 The form is taken, and censuses already planned, although one of the Aphid mages does speak up.
"I do wish to say that the individual ant drone doth have mind and manner of their own. I myself hath personal desires, ambitions and goals. It is simply that our 'hivemind' is a byproduct of rapid, nigh instantaneous communication; a manifestation of a collective psychic gestalt formed from the will of thousands of individuals. At any given moment there may be many different decisions and deliberations to be made, and differing opinions on how to resolve them. All ants have access to all information provided by everyone at once. All facts of the case made available, at least what is known to even a single ant, and access to all resources. Mathematical calculations are made and double checked by every aphid in the hive, witnesses are interrogated on the spot through memory sharing, and all projections presented to every member of the hive and fact checked. Eventually, and very quickly, consensus is reached as everyone typically wants to choose what is perceived as the best outcome.
What I mean to say is, in our own way, we are firm believers and regular practitioners of the merits of democracy, for we liveth every day with it. We simply do so as efficiently as we possibly can."
However, the ants will agree to limited voting rights as needed in this understandable trial period.

The civilians are withdrawn, they have fought long and hard beyond what they were rated to do and deserve to live. We are not a brutal people, and drones are not mere numbers.
The Inquisitors move forward. It is hoped their enhanced brains can reach into the killer ants, but if they cannot, then they must be suppressed and put down. Our Magi can try to fix them, but if truly nothing can be done, then we shall find a place in the valley of dinosaurs, and let them fight against monsters, to fulfill the purpose they so fervently believe in, that the meat may be harvested, and these heroes bodies rejoin the flesh of the hive in the reclamation chambers.

>>6034585 >>6034633 >>6035099 The inquisitors lay it down to the encircled veterans: the option to do all the killing they ever dreamed about somewhere else, and being useful in the proces, or, well, certain death here and now
" Now, I realize passions are high. But I must warn you, the penalty for taking deadly force against officers of the Queen in the performance of their duty is, you will be torn apart until you are dead."
The vets take few probing lunges at the loyalist cordon around them, but eventually, the reason wins - they value option to fight more than the chance to die in the glory of battle. With this twisted logic, they accept the deal to be relocated to the far frontier of the Imperia

1-2 >Tech Up
The ants let out a long collective sigh, as the bloody and brutal wars are at last over. Now the efforts of peace can begin again. More importantly, we have new allies and new neighbors, and so if we mean to properly integrate with them we must strive to achieve technological parity!
3 >3/6 Textiles
We will need envoys, diplomats, liasons and much more with the confederacy. Ah, but it will certainly not due to have them wear merely exoskeletons. Humanoids appear to value the use of clothing as much as we do, and so we shall ensure that we are properly fashioned like a civilized race
4 >Foreign Student Sponsorship
The ants are impressed by the sophistication of Confederate society, who appear to have achieved many of the great feats of civilization our forebears and Empress have dreamed of. Our best and brightest aphids will have much to learn, and one day contribute, to the great universities and learning establishments of the Mountain Confederation
We will have aphids apply themselves and sponsor studentships among the universities. It is said that the Confederation were willing to integrate non-humanoids, so we must take the initiative and show them such efforts are not wasted upon Antdom
5-6 >Join-Technologies Initiative
It is the Will of the Empress that the Empire achieve technological parity with the other fellow member states of the Confederation, so that in the future we can also contribute to their research as well using our unique abilities of shared cognition. Efforts are made to introduce our brightest minds with theirs, and offer what we can provide
The Hive Mind has an eiditic memory, and the the abiliity to process thousands of calculations at once. In short order, our aphids would try to prove themselves useful contributors to Confederate experts, providing a means of near instantaneous mathematical calculation, memory and information recall, and more
7-10. >Boosted Public Relations
The most important we can do is to boost public relations between Ants and other member races of our new allies. Great efforts are made to endear the humanoids to the presence of ants, both high and low, as allies and citizens. Given the Confederation has tasked them with providing and distribution of food supplies, efforts are first made upon the farmers and laborers who are always the backbone of any society. Various ants will go about assisting farmers, farm hands, miners and other common denizens in their workloads. Where it can be done, an ant would ask to pair up with a confederate citizen and aid in their tasks and labours, but give the lions share of the wages to them, given ants have no need for such things as money at this time. What little they do collect returns to the hive, as a pool, which will be used to help fun local improvement projects for the humanoids

>>6033938 A vast caravan of wagons and sleds arrives to the capital. By all intents it is a spectacle, a wonder, as singular ants pulling many more times their weight trundle on with such preposterous loads. It was as if entire towns, a whole of substance and mass was disassembled and placed onto innumerable wooden vehicles.
And what are they conveying? Paper! More paper in any one place than perhaps all but th most seasoned bureaucrats of the Confederation has seen. Whole giant trees nearly the size of the mountains whose leaves were many dozens of meters wide were laid bare of leaf, presses and stamped with rivers of ink pressed from gigantic flowers and colorful plants.
At their head a prince arrives along with a troupe of drummers.
"As requested, a census of every single Ant in the Imperia, starting with her Majesty the Queen herself. All 14,478 ants as of the time of writing, including indications of those whose lifespans were expected to expire upon completion of the census.
As per requirements indicated by your record, we have also completed the forms in duplicate, with additional records indicating that certain portions of the population who have expired prior to the second census as well as new ones that had been born."

>>6035722 Though, there was a second aspect to 7-10.
The ants have not forgotten the shock that the council was willing to side with the termites so readily, without even consulting them. By integrating and ingratiating themselves with the populace, and eventually some of the lower bureaucrats, it will create a cultural safety net to hopefully prevent such things in the future. if we're perceived as a helpful ally and member.
Sorry of a cultural pressure, rather than a military one, to ensure good relations.

>>6036608 To make a long story short, the ants have interest in learning from Confederation Technologies and Magics. Since this does require actions on your part, I was wondering if there were things I could do for you in turns.
I have the option of hyper specializing on construction to build things for us. Or investing further in my aphid researchers to boost future research if we do joined actions. Or any number of other things.
What say the Confederation? If it is a sign of trust desired, ask and we would see to it.

Toward that end, and to resolve the previously unresolved issues that resulted in the war, the Ants intend to send diplomats to the Khanate with intent for both powers to have clearly defined borders and territorial claims.
We do therefore, petition and request Arbitration by the Confederation, as we believe the presence of your magi will help ensure a civility and decorum."
