Welcome to Standard Fantasy Nation Builder. First, start with providing description of your future nation.
Fill this in:
>Name: >Leader's name: >Race(s): >Color(for if/when I get a map): >General location:(mountains, jungle, plains, ocean, lake, etc. More detailed the better I can make a map..maybe) >Fluff about nation: >Fluff about leader: >General magic practises or other speciality (for a magic-related bonus, can be replaced with tech or situational bonus, too, so it doesn't have to be magic, but make it ONE) Don't fill this in:
>Population: 10000 >Military: >Power level: 1 >Tech Level: 1 >Bonus: Keep it short, but more than just a single sentence. I won't read your novel, but I would still like to get some info on your nation.
I'll look through them and provide bonuses (and penalties) based on the description.

Not mine idea, stolen from good old times when we had builders still going. It's Easter, I've got loads of spare time and kind of bored.
Actual map will be provided once the game starts for real. I will probably set-up mibbit. Rules will likely to be changed as we play, since I've got only a partial recollection how this specific set worked. I already know I want to handle military differently and that I post in different hours than the original QM.
Either way - have fun and remember this is for kitchen sink setting, so don't take it too serious or pigeon-hole yourself into some muh realism faggotry.

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. Cultivating power! 4/?

2. A grand market will be erected within Capraopolis where people from all over the nation can come to trade.
Turn 39
1. With the brutal conflict the patrolmen have learned of a greater need to be able to defend themselves against unruly hordes. Shields will be designed to help defend themselves and giving them the ability to create an unbreakable wall.
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.

>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.

>Gotta say BR, it's been a very long time since we've had a classic builder like this. It's very nice. I like that building up actions is good too. Hoping I'm not fumbling too much on the parsing of actions, I know what I want and try to keep it directed. Especially for those /? actions >With some of these big projects, and so many bonuses, for me the difficulty is: am I spending too little dice, or overkilling it? I'm super grateful that you seem to bank at least some things for spillover which is a very wonderful thing to do. >I've been skipping on listing the specific bonuses I think apply to certain actions, in the hopes that you also go over sheets and look over what applies, and from what i can tell you're very generous in your interpretive application. If you think it's better for us to list them next to our turns, I can come up with some simple ways to group things together like Construction Bounuses: XXX or Research Bonuses: XXX for buildings, tech and mutations. >At the moment I clearly have many mechanical things I want to do to expand the glory of the Empire! But there's also the fluff aspirations too, I would very much like my people to be more than just the zerg creatures they are, but truly noble and regal in nature. Hence stuff like Music, Textiles, Cloth, Dyes, etc. stuff you'd expect any sensible Royalty to want to aggrandize themselves. Not quite the same thing as better swordsmanship or steel smithing, but I'm hoping Culture is a power in its own right. But man, these plot hooks are just so good. Hoping my guess is right and what i"m doing will give me something to work with against whatever the bad thing is. Republic of Enare

As in - actual, concrete goal. It doesn't matter what it is, but I need to know what it is, if that makes any sense. "Research way to exploit abstraction from other abstract action" is as oblique as they get, and I have no idea what you are trying to achieve here.

>/? 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.

>>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)

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!

7-8. We need newer better brain ants. But the Ant-Aphids first say we ought to maximize our abilities to mutate them first, to speed the process along. Mastering one ability at a time, than to be the jack of all trades.

>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.

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.

She can see them fight, their bravery and determination, as she repeats the names and glories of individual ant companies and platoons which perish, to be remembered in the hive mind's collective as heroes.
The pendulum of battle seems close to swinging in the ants favor if they hold on, now that their numbers can speak for them! Six fresh divisions are already joining the battle, to the aid of their veteran comrades.

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.

In desperation, the ant generals opt to send the Inquisitors and the Pioneers, even civilians at this point are hoped to buy a few more minutes, a few more seconds, delaying the enemy however it takes to purchase victory.

Quoted By:
>>6031973 Zair pondered the actions he just authorized and wondered perhaps they can intervene in the termite wars. Then he realized that there may be a chance that termites may lose. They do have many empty frontier settlements and vast lands, Perhaps should the termites lose not only their war but their land they should welcome them within the confederacy, absorbing the first non humanoid into their growing nation. Though for now he will let the battle mages and the academics hammer out the details of weaponry.
>Assets used in arming the termites >>shipbuilding I And industrial sectors >>>The smugglers will use the rudimentary ships to navigate the inland sea to transport war material >>Industrial sectors II, Magic theory III, Magical Mechanics, Production, Zaryite forging >>>Advanced weapons made from zaryite and enchanted by the top mage schools will be provided to the termites >>Confederated bureaucracy I, Bureaucracy IV, Magistrates II >>>Using their meticulous record keeping the confederacy will use a false paper trail to hide their support of the termites making it seem like merchants and industrialist are merely providing the weapons that were 'stolen' by the smugglers
