The Duergar have been driven from this part of the Underdark, for now–survivors under no factions employ or captivity flee into the deepest caverns and muster there, awaiting a signal that their time has come again.

The city lays in ruins.
>>16369
1. You manage to extract vast quantities of Dark Energy Ore that is easily refined by your goblin force. +1 Dark Energy/turn
2. Your cannons are advanced enough to do some serious damage to enemy fortifications. Zagrom can make a pass on something he's assaulting that action that reduces the enemy's defenses by 5, although he's going to be putting himself at risk doing so.
>>16384
1. Your newly spawned Myceilia are a bit more spry than before, and you gain +5 to expansion rolls.
2. The fungal marches grow.
>>16424
1. Things get delayed. The Dreadnoughts are going to take another action to finish.
2. The metric system schematics clash with traditional Dwarven metallurgy. The rifles don't get finished, and those that progress is made towards must be scrapped due to mismatching parts.

1. "Begin to assault on the Magocracy. I will open a rift and rush their defenses at close range. I have had enough of these…abominations. Their things will be ours, and their secrets will be secrets no more….BY THE POWERS GET ON MY BACK ALREADY. NO, NOT LIKE THAT! YOU AWFUL CREATURES I WILL WIN THIS DESPITE YOU!" [Shadowrend Portal: Magocracy Capital, or close to it]
2. Zagrom masses the host to enter the portal. The entire force is huge, and stretches for many leagues; it houses every form of weapon, goblin, and device that Zagrom has. Cannons line up in the rear to begin to siege in case the offensive buckles, and the shock troops that Zagrom has specially selected look eager to kill. Zagrom himself looks optimistic, and speaks in calm tones. Zagrom stands ready to enter the portal first, having developed techniques for this in previous battles. He grins slightly.

Name: Myceilia
Colour: Magenta
Race: Sentient Fungus
Racial Description: In a dark cavern such as the underdark, all manner of things can arise in the squalid pallor and in its umber crevices. The Myceilia are such a thing. From the humble fungus that grew plentiful on the cavern's walls, floors and even the roof, they arose slowly from the earth itself, the dark energy that inhabits the cavern infusing them with sentience. They are a new race, directionless and having no motive other then the will to survive. They worship the Great Uttershroom, a giant mushroom from which the original spores of life are said to have spawned, and new mushroom creatures arise from everyday, and will do anything to defend it. Naive creatures, having just sampled the ichor of life, they know not the intricacies of modern rhetoric, and their culture can be said to be lacking, but make no mistake, these creatures are not stupid, and many a stray creature has learned that the hard way from a spear to the throat.

1. The water of the lake is enticing, grant the Uttersroom some dark energy so that it may change our form to dread in the murky abyss
2. At the same rate, our race should not be confined to the ground alone, the walls and the roof have space enough for us, and our roots shall hold us fast, onwards and upwards!

The Deep Dwarves have called upon something great and terrible, a dire pact made in a time of need. The Aboleths of the lake have not been seen in some time. In fact, it appears they have retreated through their portal–retreated for fear of what is soon to come out of it.
>>16715
1. 4d8 casualties to enemy units. Acts as mobile fortress, boarding actions of this vessel will be treated like a land battle. It's Dwarfish design makes it more castle-esque and easy to defend, allowing you to re-roll during boarding actions.
2. Your capacity for arms is hardly matched. -10 to-hit when besieging a fortification.

2. Arcane relics found on-site help you construct a powerful City of the Web. You are well equipped to perform Ritual Magicks calling upon all 3 of your Cities of the Web, which will grant a bonus of +5, +10, +15, or +25 to an action–you'll need to spend 1 action preparing the ritual and then another action firing the spell.

Name: Myceilia
Colour: Magenta
Race: Sentient Fungus
Racial Description: In a dark cavern such as the underdark, all manner of things can arise in the squalid pallor and in its umber crevices. The Myceilia are such a thing. From the humble fungus that grew plentiful on the cavern's walls, floors and even the roof, they arose slowly from the earth itself, the dark energy that inhabits the cavern infusing them with sentience. They are a new race, directionless and having no motive other then the will to survive. They worship the Great Uttershroom, a giant mushroom from which the original spores of life are said to have spawned, and new mushroom creatures arise from everyday, and will do anything to defend it. Naive creatures, having just sampled the ichor of life, they know not the intricacies of modern rhetoric, and their culture can be said to be lacking, but make no mistake, these creatures are not stupid, and many a stray creature has learned that the hard way from a spear to the throat.

3. You build your own rather good Dwarven Battleship, which you send over to show them after the first one got hijacked. Sadly you hadn't heard of the hijacking so just wave as it passes you along the canal.
4. You draw up some general schematics. They are decent if vague. They're handed over to the Dwarves, a record maintained in your own archives.
5. You build an IMPRESSIVE AA defense.
>Aerial units making a pass on your fortified locations are attacked by purpose-built guns
6. You install them competently in both of your starcityforts

1. Your bloom crosses the lake, up to the point of the Aboleths barrier, and spreads around it.
>Slowly your presence begins to taint the barrier with Dark Energy radiation
2. You gain +2 Population as the garden enjoys a good first harvest–more actions will be required to sustain this progress, however

1. The Lava Crystal is installed but not yet integrated into a defense grid. You'd need some arcanists to build one. It does however have the capacity to shoot beams of heat at anyone approaching the nearby web city.
+10 to-hit on the nearby city so long as the Lava Crystal is in-place and supercharged
2. The Drider Titan, a veritable newborn, is a little bit bad at taking directions. You manage to get it just over the border with the Magocracy and convince the Mages and Daemons there you're here to help.

1. Marshal a defence! The dwarf fleet hope to pin the rogue battleship between their guns and those of the forts, while the militia takes arms against the invading foe in the tunnels.
2. Call for reinforcements! We HAD been hoping to attract immigrants from the Holds above now that our camp was big enough and enclosed, that it might be called a hold of its own, but the Deep Dwarves have put paid to that idea. We hope that we'll be considered worth saving, and that any commander seeking glory in the depths will bring with them the proscribed weapons of wrath we maintain for fighting our dark kin.

Fuck the phone wiping my post each time
1.Shore up our southern defences and construct barracks and accommodation for both the dwarves that came in our hour of need and for those that may follow in future.
2. Though it wasn't a problem (and indeed probably made it easier in capturing it when it went rogue) the engineers misread the instructions in constructing the battleship - this time the instructions are clear: using the Dark Steam Engine and the locomotive systems we've developed, build a battleship that can traverse caves on mighty wheels/treads. The motive systems may need to be improved, but better that slow us down now than be a problem later.

1-2. The Dwarves are working on some kind of Land Ship!
We should build a parts factory, so we can build that and other vehicles with much greater speed.
3-4. Build a Dwarven Battleship of our Own!

1. You establish firing batteries and take up strategic positions along the edge of the city.
2. Your warped goblins are able to wield some of the strange ore to soulstrike foes–incorporeals take damage like the weapon was enchanted, corporeal foes' souls are damaged even if the weapons bounce off their armor.
>>18464
1. You crush down upon the Aboleths lake. By the time you arrive the portal is sealed shut. Likely for the best.
2. Your realm is fortified with fungal emplacements. They are formidable, to say the least.
>>18466
1. You manage to evacuate Magocracy citizens–Drow, deep humans, and daemons alike.
2. You gain +2 Population from those willing to go over.
>>18558
1. The southern tunnels fill up with camp towns and barracks digs. The tunnels become more like roads, and your holding more like a city, if one at war.
2. The prototype explodes! Thankfully your Dwarves are used to this and med-evac the wounded with no casualties.
>>18691
1&2. You construct a parts factory, you think creating mass-producable weaponry and vehicles will be easier in the future.
3&4. You gain a landship of Dwarven influence, in terms of design.

A final coalition of Drow from the unmolested temple and Battlemage Krzzt Balgaran enter the fray as the hulking Curse Spider Titan assaults the defenses.
His plan is to portal into the city's towers and pour out into the streets around the Ziggurat, then lower the defenses for the Titan to wreak massive damage. This requires a roll of 80 or more taking all factors into account.

Zagrom personally sallies forth to fight the Titan. While a traditional monstrosity of might and magick and formidable in its own right, the Black Dragon Zagrom has mastered the wicked resources of the Underdark and his troops acquit themselves with great valor. The Curse Spider forces are beaten back after retrieving many Magocracy survivors fleeing or holding out against invaders, but ultimately cannot stand to the Goblin horde and flee Westward.
Meanwhile the titan, un-phased by the battle below, locks into a deadly game of cat-and-birth with Zagrom. Bombardment pass after pass is made, blowing carapace clear across the lake in a hail of blood and cacophony of terrible screeching. But the Titan keeps plowing forward, although it is rebuffed by the magickal barrier initially it manages to bash its way through–although the forces behind it have long since fallen.
The battle rages for hours until Zagrom descends from behind a tower and rips out two of its eyes, unleashing his cannons to cut a searing white series of scars across its pupils as well. Struck in the brain and reeling, the Titan smashes its way out of the city and retreats.
Many are dead, and half the city lies in ruins, but Zagrom's host has won the day.
>>18460 (by Red)
With his glorious victory assured over his STUPID and WORTHLESS enemies, Zagrom retired to a relatively quiet time of luxury and opulence that will go down as one of the great tales of decadence in history. His hoard, burgeoning with legions of idiotic but effective goblin minions, would continue to grow in size until Zagrom himself took to the habit of eating entire herds of cattle due to boredom at (now) quiet life. Indeed, despite periodic assaults from STUPID and WEAK opponents, Zagrom would maintain his holdings and expand them slightly. His reputation assurred and his intellect proven, henceforth Zagrom was known as Zagrom the Corpulent. This pleased him, as he did not have typical draconian beauty standards.
Eventually, he would have a small clutch of little dragons, and he would regale them of the time where “… father conquered the stupid dwarves, elves, and other STUPID creatures with only GOBLINS.” The small hatchlings gasp audibly. “YES! We didn't have fancy minions like these days….WE JUST HAD GOBLINS. Awful creatures. Did you know the average goblin reproduces 272 times in a single year if properly fed? …”
Needless to say, the hatchlings suffered another lecture from VENERABLE ZAGROM about goblin reproductive methods, but this ends Zagrom's tale for today.

You have forged a civilization for those upon whom civilization turned their back once they were done with them. You stand as a testament to the capacity of your kind, and few will soon forget what you have wrought. The Titan, though wounded, is far from done–with the power of the Cities of the Web it grows stronger and more powerful, and with times, it shall know peers to rival its prowess and terror. The Curse Spiders' day has just begun to dawn, and that glorious rise shall be ever attributed to your noble efforts.
>>18558
Winning recognition and glory from the holds, your settlement is elevated to a Duchy and receives royal ambassadors and envoys from the wealthiest and noblest of the Merchant Houses. Your legacy shall be etched upon the rocks commemorating glorious ancestors for the rest of the age, and perhaps, beyond.
With technological and military advancements, you grow ever more formidable. The threat of Duergar invasion to the east has abated for now, but you know holds stolen by your deep cousins in an epoch long past lay there awaiting their true heirs…
>>18691
You fought hard, persevered, and adapted beyond all reasonable expectation. With unexpected allies, magnificent weapons, and a fire in in their hearts no oppressor can put out, your peoples' collective conscious turns back to the surface they abandoned and a plan they unwittingly fled.
They have rebuilt.
Now, they yearn to reclaim.
>>in light of this game having, in my opinion, run its course I would ask for everyone to post what they would like to see their civs do as the future comes–thank you all for playing in this, my very first builder! It's been a wild ride and really gave me lots of valuable experience.

First, I'd like to thank you for what has been my first builder as a player, it was great fun.
While there might have been a few more turns left in it, I'd agree with your conclusion that it was pretty much done (particularly with the drop-off of players and various constraints of academia)
Never ones to rush in haste, the expedition is content to have been a success and to add another heavily-fortified chunk to the dwarven kingdoms - the desire to delve has been sated, and with only a couple of minor disasters.
Had the expedition's concept for a landship come about we would have mined the 3 hexes North West from our most northerly tunnels and launched an assault against his capital
Had the Drow stayed in the game we might have dug a canal and warred with them.
Our peaceful endevours would probably have been to dig deeper - what is beneath the Underdark, we wonder?
Whether this is something we'd do by hand, or if we'd build a great drill powered by dark steam energy, we do not know, but if there's one thing we'd do, it's dig, dig, dig deeper

For as long as we would have contact with them, and we would keep contact with them, the Dwarves would forever be our allies, and we would help them in our capacity, as a link to the underdark and the surface world above.
This underworld has been our prison and refuge, Hades and Elysium as one, but it is not our home.
The liberation of the surface from the alien invader, our home, would begin.
Drills, the same machines that was our ark would now be the vessel of our freedom, and indeed, the surface world. Scouts and spies would be brought up, to watch our enemy in their strange new world, giving us information, and then, when the time was right, we would strike.
Rather than repeat the mistake of before, we would focus on capturing and stealing the alien technology, and with the knowledge and skill of Dwarven Craftwork, British Science, and just a hint of Magic, learn how to make them ourselves. Our own heat rays, our own fighting machines, and combined with our army of tanks, drills, and cannons bring the fight back to the enemy until our resources are exhausted and we must retreat below once more.
I pray it does not come to that, for the Martians may not make the same mistake of leaving us be twice.

All willing could approach the center of a City of the Web and become more then they were, for the curse was a curse no longer. The Curse Spiders renamed themselves to Seekers of Freedom and began an aeon long campaign to liberate all those who would be called lesser.
Throughout their long and lurid history they would continue to seek out those races who would enslave or conquer and rescue their victims, and among their ranks those rescued found equality and strength. There were no lesser beings in their lands, only the strength of the Drider.
