/erp/ - Erotic Roleplay

I've heard of this "Ero Empire" business and would be interested to hear what you are proposing.

Sure thing!

So Ero Empire was a series of kind of sandbox worldbuilding games where players each controlled civilizations. Some were serious, some were expies of other civilizations, some were pretty much excuses for lewd storywriting. The game had a mechanical side and a fluff side, the mechanics were all dice rolls and resource management, and the more and lewder you wrote the better your advantage on those dice rolls.

There was a lot going on and they became pretty involved over time. Kadmos wrote most of the rules for them- and they should still be findable in the archive or the older pages if you're interested in reading up on them.

In order to overcome some of my frustrations that I could see were shared with others, I thought it would be best to allow a certain number of total actions in a game 'turn' which will be a real time week, but allow those actions to succeed automatically. This allows players to write more decisively about their plans and actions. At the end of the week, all player actions will go into effect and I will update the map and the turn number. Currently I'm thinking this will represent a season every turn.

I'm trying to plan out everything for this, so please feel free to ask questions about specifics if I'm not explaining it properly.

>>193279

I don't really intend to limit what fetishes are on display, but that said it would seem to me that it's in good taste and friendly-like manner to give a set of tags for the fetishes involved in the story chunks. For the stories written on the board itself I'd say lay off the extremes like blood, death and filth plays. Certainly if you like those include them in your pastebin stories, but otherwise it should be at least spoiler'd I'd think.

>>193283

Rules are going to be VERY different. I think the dice really made it hard to write with good plans about what was going on and changing in the games. Also as mentioned there will be set ending conditions of the game. The first season for instance is planned around either a macguffin or a war, not sure which just yet.

Another change I'm considering that may have bearing on the other question is a limitation on races, for instance this first campaign is focused on continental affairs, so aquatic or flying races would have little immediate need to interfere. This is one of the matters I wanted feedback on.

also it's fuckin six AM here so I go to bed now. more stuff next time. Also if anyone from the old EE stuff is around, I intend no offense by proclaiming this the legacy of ero empire. Just trying to add to the revival of /erp/.

>>193411

Oh p'shaw~ I ain't rushing in at the moment, but I do got a tab open to see how this develops.

Here is some plantpussi though.

>>193419

Good questions, I haven't drawn up a comprehensive list yet but I'm planning on actions to include exploration actions, exploitation actions, development, and expansion. That's the build-up portion and I may also include army building and management in either the first or second iterations, depending on what I end up making the first plot.

I actually put together a map in hexographer before I even put together the topic post, so yes, hexes are the way of the future! It'll more easily quantify spacing.

>>193421

It's awesome to see you again Growth, I always enjoyed your faction's fuckery in the games.

>>193423

I'm of the opinion that games where rules change mid-play are objectively unfair. That's also why I have a planned ending point, it'll make the game shorter but it will allow us to reprise the rules sooner too.

Regarding the Kudos system: I liked it for the previous version because it did help get rid of the fumble results. I don't see a place for Kudos in this version, because again the only place where chance is involved is militarily. I'm similarly not planning on doing a scaling reward setup for snips. Every action should have some kind of scene or snippet attached to it, no min or max for wordcount.

First question for interested parties: In past E-E sessions, resources, relics, and advantages were semi-permanent bonuses or requisites for other actions. Relics and Advantages don't fit into the plan such as it is here, but resource management could bog down the game, or provide practical limitations. Do you want to see resources back? Were relics a major focus for you? Would you prefer to see neither of these and make the time and action economy the primary factor?

>>193967

That's a valid fear, but as I plan to run seven campaigns minimum, I will either be operating this game or handing it to a trusted second gm.

Also I just finished the preliminary action list, so here it is in it's 1AM unrevised state.

Explore

For every settlement you may explore (and claim) one additional hex, adjacent to already owned hexes.

Suggested scenes: Common folk discussing exploratory expeditions, planning and funding expeditions by the ruling class, actual exploration scenes with adventurers or prospectors.

Exploit

Claimed hexes may be developed to better exploit the natural resources available. A hex may only be developed 6 times, represented by a gold border on one side of the hex for each development. Developing the border of two hexes increases the yield of both.

Suggested scenes: planned or implemented improvements, resource gluts, economic development, decadent indulgence

Roads may be built to connect hexes. These connections provide better travel time, allow trade, and simplify logistical chains.

Suggested scenes: travel, travel plans

Settlements may be established in any hex without a settlement. Settlements represent scattered clans of farmsteaders, resource gathering towns, or large scale cities. Whatever the case, a settlement implies sufficient population to resist military force, and sufficient infrastructure to contribute to the fiefdom with resources and population.

Suggested scenes: settlers, migrants, government officials arriving in new lands.

Exterminate

-Warning, Ero Empire is a narrative game, war should be planned and discussed ahead of time, either with game master, other war participant, or both preferably.-

Raising armies is costly, they will incur a resource penalty on the hex they occupy. Multiple armies may be raised in a single hex, but if they cause the hex's resource production to become negative, they may not remain for more than one turn. This means that armies in unclaimed territories may not make camp and linger, and must remain on the move.

Suggested Scenes: national celebrations, grand military parades, soldiers training, grunts bitching

Moving armies is costly, though it takes no extra resources to move them, they are slow and can inhibit the function of regions with their drain on resources. Armies may only move one hex per turn, unless following a road, in which case, two per turn is possible.

Suggested scenes: political maneuvering, military planning, sinister people playing board games implying the lives of the citizens and soldiers are meaningless to the upper class

Battle. Battles cost lives, resources and morale, while resources are the only element tracked in this version of Ero Empire, story pieces during battle 'rounds' should include references to these events. This is not required but it will add to the richness of the setting. It does not require resources to battle. Battles may be declared against Developments and Roads within the hex, or Armies and Settlements in adjacent hexes.

Suggested scenes: can love bloom on the battlefield? Homefront pride, fear of warfare, roleplaying between players.

You know, as far as resources go, I think we should have less emphasis on the mundane stuff. I remember in Ero-Empires, some of us had dull, practical resources like salt or stone…. and almost never used any of it because we had other unique things that were much more interesting.

I'd like to think it's more or less an assumed for us to have enough Wood, Gold, Stone, Food to maintain a settlement at status quo. For a straight-up simulation game, things like that are a fair concern, but since this game has a creative writing element to it, we're of course probably going to focus on things we actually want to write about.

>>194076

>>194060

Okay, so universal resource system and nodes both… hmm, can do that.

>>194326

I really wish I knew.

ANYWAY HERE YOU GO

Actions, Resources, Nodes, and Costs

Explore and Acquire: free, may be performed once per round per settlement.

Develop Hex: free, may only be performed once per round, may affect multiple hexes.

Build Roads: 1 Resource, must lead to adjacent hexes, does not need to be within borders, only one road per round.

Establish Settlement: 3 Resource, may only establish in hex already owned without existing settlement, only one settlement may be established per round.

Raise Army: 2 Resource, ongoing cost of 1 Resource per round, may be performed once per settlement per round.

Move Army: free, may be performed once per army per round, can only move to adjacent hex, or to a hex adjacent to an adjacent hex, if connected via roads.

Battle: Free, may only be initiated once per round per army. Multiple armies may initiate battle as a group, as a single action.

NON ACTIONS

Resource: I'm using bad grammar, but I'm referring to it as 'Resource' even when it's many resources for simplicity and consistency's sake. Resource covers everything from necromantic energy to gold, from timber to fresh water, from solar generated electricity to psychotropic tiberium, if it makes your empire work, expand or what have you, it falls in this category. Feel free to explain the most commonly used resources if you would like.

Resource is generated at the end of one round and available in the next, meaning that even if it was only your last action in a round to develop a hex, you still get the benefit. Each hex owned by an empire generates one resource. Each development on a Hex's border generates one additional resource. Each settlement generates one additional resource. Roads do not generate resources but permit trading which can add to a civilization's resource pool. Resource may be saved one round to another.

Send Nodes plz: Nodes are points on the map which will be revealed when players occupy them with explore and acquire actions. When acquired, a node becomes a unique material that benefits the controlling civilization. The specific nature will be up to interpretation by the discovering player, pending GM approval, it should be significant but not game breaking. Such as allowing an extra action of one type to be taken a turn, or sustaining a certain amount of military upkeep costs. Nodes may be seized in territory battles, but the effects of the node are unchanged when taken by a second player. Nodes cannot be destroyed. Node effects can be traded so long as the node is connected to the trading partner.

I remember being super interested in EE stuff way back when they were actually running but either catching them while they're already in full swing with no real space to join in or at the complete ass end. So if there's space for it I'd like to give it a shot.

>>193766

>>193969

>>193973

>>194508

So, going off my admittedly fuzzy old-fogey memory, the method of resources either being single use stockpiles gained from misc sources (raiding, trade, etc.) or infinite nodes, both player defined, and needing X number of unique sources to do a thing was pretty solid in the previous rule sets. Keeps down the book keeping while encouraging exploration and seeking out new stuff and world-building. Maybe have the upkeep for armies (and maybe settlements to keep the potential explosive growth problem down) simply be losing access to one node of resources until freed up again, necessitating seeking out further nodes of that type to keep using them or what have you.

E.G. Say someone has two mithril nodes and… I dunno… A geothermal node and decides to raise an army, it'd lock down either one of the mithril nodes or the geothermal node as upkeep… Of course this does raise a question of what to do if someone captures the node being used so maybe it's not the most elegant solution if we decide to keep the upkeep bit, and prices might need to be fiddled with to account for there being static amounts rather than a growing stockpile.

That said giving resources actual mechanical bonuses could be interesting as well but a bit more fiddly if it's all whole-cloth GM discretion stuff.

Just kinda spitballing and giving my own two-cents on the matter.

Okey doke, I have the next couple days off so I can finish up this first session, I'd like to have four players, maximum of five. This setting is going to be high fantasy, but I'd like to keep it swords and sorcery level, no airships or mecha (much as it pains me to say), similarly the map is mostly land so aquatic factions won't really be applicable for it. If you're interested please make a post containing:

A handle you'd like to be addressed as

A name and basic description for your nation (if it changes around some before we get to the first round, that's fine)

And that's it until the map is up and we pick starting points. I just get the feeling like it's a good time to start and if we wait it's going to just kinda collapse into a non-thing. Anyway looking forward to cool stuff!

>>195328

The Hundred Scales

Mercantile focused lamia empire jointly ruled by an empress (Iztacoatl) and a priestess (Tlilcoatl). An all female race prone to seducing members of other races due to offspring always breeding true as more of their kind. Primarily deals in medicinal herbs, furs, and other such produce… But are also known to sell their own venom (whether by the vial or through assassin services) to those that gain their trust.

>>195350

sssssss Sensational!

>>195409

Glad to be aboard and I look forward to seeing what other interesting civilizations turn up as well!

As someone who played a previous iteration, I'd be willing to throw in a hat so long as I wasn't butting someone else out. Don't wanna be a space hog.

Grastia Entertainment Incorporated

Formerly a force of malice that plagued the land, the monstrous legions of Devil King Grastia have once again reemerged after centuries…. Only this time instead of making war with humanity, they want to make love with it! What was once an evil

empire is now a profitable enterprise of skilled courtesans, able to cater (and sometimes specifically made) to fulfill near any taste!

Utilizing an ancient and arcane technology they call the Venus Forge, Grastia's monsters are able to remake themselves into any number of alluring shapes and forms, though how it works is a carefully-guarded secret.

>>195529

Grastian "dungeons" can be found in all but the most isolated corners of the world, though living alongside human kingdoms now, they very rarely make their own settlements. As such, they also don't have their own currency, trading in whatever coinage their patrons give them. Fortunately, the monsters are already well-acquainted with the value of human money, thanks to a long tradition of goblins that think hawking goods at adventurers is preferable to being roughed up by them.

While Grastia Entertainent is often regarded as a political non-entity by the human kingdoms it operates in, the truth is that these monsters have more secrets than their customers know…. And they haven't forgotten the defeats of the past.

>>195328

The Emet Collective

A community of like-minded mages, almost entirely female or intersex. Decadent, arrogant and hedonistic they, as a community, rarely ever lift a hand when a spell, thrall or summoned creature can do the work for them. Extremely talented in the arcane arts; they rely heavily on their golems as combination protectors and manual labor. A society relatively withdrawn, outsiders that don't join them only have value in what they can take. Men for breeding, resources to aid their studies or fuel their expansion.

>>195328

Wow, I take one weekend off from looking at this thread and almost miss out on participating. Also don't know if I want to stick with my usual name for this, so I might change my handle down the road. Anywho:

The Graywood Concord

A host of small clans united under a single banner, composed of Dryads, Satyrs, Elves, etc. Respectful of nature, they lead a simple life of nomadic herding, farming, and trading. Even by standards of other cultures, though, they are known to be rather "loose", their communities having a distinct lack of clothes, exclusive relationships, or really any public decency. There's even rumors of their druids hosting ritualistic orgies at night in the name of their many gods.

>>195328

I'd definitely like to throw my hat into the ring.

Tribus Secundus

Many monster tribes lived under the rule of those who were the strongest; chiefs, lords, shamans and priests alike. Those that challenged the ones at the top were either killed in battle or forced to become outcasts… and in time, the outcasts formed their own tribe which became an amalgamation of the 'second class'. Although there was plenty of bickering amongst them, in time their differences became a melting pot of shared knowledge and efficiency. Proving there's no greater strength than numbers and intimate knowledge of your enemy's advantages and weaknesses, they defeated and absorbed the tribes they were once cast from.

While they've learned to work together in times of war; Ogres divining spells, minotaurs fighting on the front lines, goblins mining and smelting ores and imps influencing trade, there's one cast which is used purely for their bodies; the rabbit people. Known to be stretchy enough to handle anything and capable of giving birth to children of any species, they are the core of the 'war machine' both in spirit and body.

Tl;dr group of minotaurs, ogres, orcs, goblins and various small-minded beasts which are a warlike people with a tribal council setup. Also, slutty bunny girls.

And here is the map as the game begins. Everyone feel free to mark out or designate a spot you'd like to take on to start with. For the record, the resource nodes are hidden in the first version of the game, when a player acquires one, it will be revealed. Now on this map are many features, mostly I have mapped out the rivers in light blue, and the roads in black, and the borders of the one existing empire in red (that may change to everyone's chosen colors). The pale gray lines on the hex edges of several tiles in the empire are developments. A hex can only have six total so they change the hex border into that gray, since they are the border, they affect two hexes, but you only benefit from both hexes being improved if you control both hexes, makes sense?

>>195584

Double rivers seemed like a good plan.

>>195584

Something on the planes, near the forest and the hills seemed like a good match.

>>195584

Nice-looking map. I'm usually all about larger ones, but this one makes sense given how many of us there are. It's a little late for me, and I have things to do in the morning, so I'm just going to post my starting position and take off for the night.

>>195597

I'm sure they'll be able to settle this proximity issue peaceably.

>>195597

Yeah, kinda glad I couldn't catch sleep, otherwise I wouldn't notice this until the morning! I think I'll move my starting point over to the other end of the map. For now, cause I might move back in closer again if I find that I'm all alone over there.

>>195584

Alright, that makes a bit more sense now. Also hmm, seems the spot right next to the one I was eyeing (that bit of dense forest surrounded on 4 sides by river) got nabbed while I was futzing about with the map. I suppose uh… location A if Silver doesn't mind the proximity or B if they'd rather not be so close.

>>195632

Think I'll try starting over on the west half of the map as well.

rough draft for starting positions

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Lt9ya6NofL_CrgYY6JSxM9wuAfLhhziNnxPN3E-WFGo/

EroEmpire ruleset went through a number of revisions outside of /erp/. This is the latest finished version, V3 or 'Vera'. I don't have anything NEAR the time to run something these days, but I'm offering this up for whatever it's worth for those who might be interested. Might just be a starting point or an inspiration.

tl;dr version:

1. All actions auto-succeed. Dice are not necessary to play.

2. Players get a set amount of points every week to spend however they want, in whatever speed they want. Do it all at once on a weekend or spread it out in the week.

3. Dice CAN be added to an action as a risk. It reduces the cost automatically (succeed or fail) but you might get a disadvantage. Entirely optional, for those who want the risk.

4. Play runs on a cycle, 1-2 weeks. At the end, all stories are put into a voting pool and everyone (even readers) can vote based on a set of pre-determined scoreboards.

5. There's no built-in reward for lewd, but you can have one of the scoreboards for every week be based on it. So there could be a 'Lewd' category, an 'Awesome Combat' category, and a 'Amazing Lore' category. Everyone gets one vote each, plus a bonus vote for anything you haven't already voted on.

6. Bonus points are awarded every week based on pre-selected scoreboards, and roll over week-to-week. So they can let you have more than the base points that refresh weekly. Being voted on in a scoreboard nets you points even if you didn't win.

No word minimums or limits, not even a content limitation. You might write a certain way to try to garner votes towards a scoreboard, but even then it's entirely not necessary. Takes out a lot of the things that caused conflict, encourages people to collaborate and read each other's stories, has built-in ways for readers and lurkers to vote and influence events. I'm rather proud of where it ended up.

Ero Legacy: Extra Heretical Edition.

Looking forward to see how this all plays out! And count me in for a future season.

>>196082

Monstergirls will be dicked in your name, good sir.

Damn shame it seems like it's filled, if there's ever an open position I want to join in. Mostly because I missed my chance last time because of work issues that did not allow me to play my birds.

Children of the Rift

A community forged by marine creatures who believe their species to be a product of the great deity that lies within the "Deepest Rift" to which they pay tribute in in festivities that can only be described as "lust focused". Their most common theme being one which has the participants venture in carnal pleasure until the light of the sun fades, with variations presented to please the entity of the beyond. Highly spiritual and very religious, they often are friendly and welcoming but are quick to arms if danger approaches. They are omnivorous and thought to be descendants of the apex predators of ages old and while venturing to land is not forbidden they are often shy of the mysteries beyond, until one day…

If accepted, can I still get an invite? Because I have some questions…

https://pastebin.com/e4ZGbuPc

In the past hundred years, disparate tribes, cities, civilizations and others have begun to flourish. While these small instances had always been present, the only unified empire on the continent had until recently been an elder, occupational force from a distant land. An insular and forceful society, they had a chilling effect on the development of other sovereignties.

That began to change as the internal structure of the once mighty empire began to collapse. Now isolated to their last fortifications at the southern coast, the Ogroch cannot suppress or disrupt the fledgling civilizations of the continent. Who will rise to power? What will become of these old invaders?

Follow now the journey of the Graywood Concord, the Emet Collective, the Children of the Rift, Grastia Entertainment Incorporated, and the Hundred Scales as they march into an uncertain future.

Spring's cool clime marches into summer, and the central plains warm, even the icy chill of the steppe wastes recede in the heat of summer trapped between the mountain ranges. The limited proliferation of news from nomads, merchants, mercenaries and migrants carries with it stories of new expanding fiefdoms, a kingdom in the central plains, stirrings of the beastmen tribes to the west, human migrants and new serpentfolk homes in the east. It seems that after a long era of solitude much of the continent is waking. But not all news is good news. While the monsters that once constrained the movement and expansion of the savannah fiefdoms are now in decline, the booming population densities seem to have invited illness.

Summer's heat fades, bringing on a restful autumn. In the forests north of the Ogroch and east of the Hundred Scales, the leaves turn and begin to fall, and all around the continent the fall harvest begins, filling the larders and coffers of the slowly budding nations, even then, strange news of the collapse of an empire to the south, and steadily growing trade with the locals brings prosperity to most.

Within the past twenty years, they have grown from a tribal confederation living in the Knuckles mountain range to a major civilization centered around the ruined city of Sothfala. Having conquered this fallen settlement and driving out its (as yet undefined) former masters, they have set about enforcing their own brand of order and justice in the place now known as the Holdfast. Though sticklers for protocol, they will generally accept being referred to as 'The Civility', 'The Order', or for the vulgar, 'Tyrnallians' interchangeably.

The rapacious expansion of the beastmen and dryad trives of the far west seem to have proven their downfall, just as their vanguard crossed the hard mountains to reach the Kingdom host of Grastia Entertainment.What has become of their once burgeoning collective? Perhaps it is the advance of winter, the fell force taking its toll on more than just the serpents of the Hundred scales. As it has every year the northern ice creeps south and the mountains gain a fresh dotting of snow, but this year is more intense, as the summer was scalding this winter proves chilling and it may take more than the hearth to warm those caught in the cold. As the wilds become impassable, the merchants setup their own homes and shanty towns in and among the settled places. This also has a deleterious effect on the passage of information.

World Events:

Graywood Collapse: RIP Silver, hope to see you back!

Winter is Coming: It's a cold season, snow and ice in the north and the mountains, or just plain cool temperatures in the normally overhot south.

Settlers not of Catan: Merchants of many races are establishing shanty towns in and around your settlements, PLACE ONE FREE SETTLEMENT IN ADDITION TO ONE PAID SETTLEMENT THIS TURN.

Tyrnall For What?: A new civilization has appeared in the northwest!

Icy Conditions: Regions not linked by roads may not share news this turn.

So the thread looks to be fucked so I'm going to toss down an updated version of round 3's entry

https://pastebin.com/d3mDxxxD

Uh warning for big dumb elf dicks or something I guess

First off, something that was meant for last turn but didn't quite get done in time. No actions taken with it though, so I may as well just post it now.

Action: Explore South East from start and develop border between them.

A hunting team is dispatched to push further out from The First Tree and survey the land around it, however a freak storm leaves the team stranded, unable to return their news until the arrival of Spring.

https://pastebin.com/2DLxDmYz

Action: Build Road south west from River Crossing

Even in the harshest winter there is no rest for the working caste. Work on the trade road continues, following the river towards the mountains and the presumed location of one of the outside powers.

https://pastebin.com/jZqTJCgK

Action: Settle shanty town between Coiled Hills and The First Tree

With trade between the Lamia capitol and its first branch settlement in full swing, the sudden flow of supplies has drawn the attention from other forest dwellers, both for good and ill.

Action: Place free Settlement on unsettled middle hex (It's late and I'm too lazy to make a map right now. I may bang out another action before work tomorrow)

>>206137

Honestly my turn is pretty much the same as always, except for the free settlement.

>Shanty Town starts up south-east of the previous settlement.

>Road from Third to Fourth settlements.

>Build up between Fourth and Fifth.

>Settle on that damn volcano already.

Heads up this one's short and bad; been busy and tired. Apologies! Instead of the fun ideas I had in mind, here's some quick smut.

https://pastebin.com/55jTbrTT

I've got nothing this time around, sorry folks.

>Action: Explore/Acquire South of existing settlement. Develop Border between this hex and the Holdfast. Build Road from Holdfast to here (1). Add "Free Settlement" here.

Patrols in the Holdfast's southern hinterlands report that refugees and migrants from south and west have taken up residence, establishing a town of tents and shanties. The only structures with any sort of permanence are a brothel/alehouse/town hall, and a hardware store. Being that they are at least human-majority, the Order undertakes to place them under the protection of the Soldiers of Tyrnall, despite what some of the 'townsfolk' might desire. This initiative is both justified and facilitated by the fact that many of their fighting age men have fallen in defense of their families, or else been weakened by hunger and exhaustion.

>Action: Establish Settlement across the river from the Holdfast (3).

A long held ambition of the Order is the reclamation of Sothfala's eastern riverbank from its monstrous inhabitants. Given that their population is burgeoning under strictly enforced and generously compensated procreation quotas, the newest crop of the Soldiery has been applied to crossing the rebuilt bridges and engaging the 'locals'.

>Action: Raise Unit at the Holdfast (2).

In support of their expanding borders and the increased possibility of interlopation and infiltration, the Lords Legendary proclaim the muster of a battalion of Knights-Venturer. Veterans of campaigns through mount and vale, these younger warriors are eager to seek and destroy any threat to the Order which presents itself. Blessed by Tyrnall with strength and speed, they act and move as cavalry despite the ubiquitous vow to bear their armor with their own strength, thus eschewing horses or other mounts.

I'm leaving it up to the GM whether this constitutes a good enough writeup to skate in under the wire.

YEAR 2 START

Well we didn't lose any players over that extended break, thank goodness. Thank you all for bearing with me, the issues have been resolved and should not reoccur. Although I may be late with the last update this month.

FIRST! The economic update

First to act as usual is the HUNDRED SCALES, the merchantwomen of the lamia clans have expanded and taken advantage of their pseudo citizens, as have the others, in their case this brings them to a new grand total of 44 resource points!

Next, splitting their action into two sections was Grastia Entertainment Incorporated, who this time have doubled their holdings and shelled out a fancy gift! New total 31 points!

The Emet Collective are opening up a wide lead now exploiting difficult to get terrain, and bringing their resource total to 48!

Finally, not to be left behind, the recent wave of settlers has allowed The Civility to expand to three settlements, having a new total of 11 resource points!

Don't forget there's a blank space here for some ambitious empire to crop up!

But Winter has ended, long though it was, and now we move to the rebirth, the chill evaporates, the rains and sun return, snow melts and crops can be raised again! But the winter is hard, and sometimes, things die. News and travel flow once more and as the season progresses two important rumors dominate the conversation in the stalls of travelling merchants. The roads aren't safe anymore! Bandits prowl and attack at random, especially in the central plains. But most distressingly, the walls and border patrols that once marked out the Ogroch civilization… are gone.

EVENTS: Spring! It's a season of recovery, repair, and planting.

News again! You may now react to the greater world once more.

Dangerous roads. This used to be such a nice neighborhood, but now we have bandits?

History's Mysteries. The Ogroch prevented your civilizations from growing for hundreds of years… but why did they suddenly disappear? Did they disappear? Were they ever real? What are those coins?

In the frozen lands know as Terra Titanas small orc tribes have been fighting against eachother for millenia, just small monster groups fighting for the control of a frozen waste full of giant monsters and strange magics. That infighting evolved into deep relations and the alliance of different orc 'kingdoms' into a civilization where war, fertility and freedom were the pilars. That civilization is known as the North Kingdoms. Even if they have a deep civilization with a senate and some sort of 'republic democracy' they were still mistaken as savage beasts, yet they didn't mind because they found the other races equally savage and only good to be enslaved and impregnated.

Their capital is known as the Glaciem Murum, a set of caves and buildings arround a frozen mountain that reached the clouds.

>Home is the dark red spot in the far north

>>218436

>Claim the mountains directly north of the first settlement.

>Continue the road south from where it last left off.

>Settle the mountains.

>Reinforce the border between new settlement and the first.

>Build an army down on the volcano.

>March that army to the next settlement in the line.

Sorry no map, but at least I made it in time.

Lady Hecuba and Maia appear to be MiA this season - magical golem science is going awry.

(There we go - remembered to use the name this time)

Before I hit the go button on this week's update, I'd like some confirmation that this map is accurate to this week's intentions. I am fighting through a migraine because I was driving pretty much all day yesterday so I want to make sure.

Updated map, added clarifications and corrections.

First thing's first, the resource points update!

The Emet Collective: 67points!

Hundred Scales: 61 points!

Grastia Entertainment Inc.: 43 points!

The Civility of the Battlefield: 19 points!

Terra Titanas: 8 points!

Bun'ari: 6 points!

Global Events:

Summer Sunshine: The turning of the seasons brings us to a mild summer!

Savage Extremes: The Terra Titanas in the northwest and the Bun'ari unifying under Sweetheart in the east, suddenly all that raiding and pillaging makes more sense!

Power Vacuum (persistent): The Ogroch are gone, and with their absence, the world looks for a new power to fill the void. Become the unassailable power this continent needs!

>>224739

Wait, Bun'ari? Who are they?

Oh Right. They're Me.

Civilization: The Chosen Khanate

Capital: Briarton

Race: Bun'ari (Often known as Buns, or the diminutive Bunnies)

tl;dr: OH SHIT, HERE COME THE BUNGOLS

More details in here

https://pastebin.com/Ez9YhufU

Suffice it to say, puns and lewd bunny people.

>>224739

Action: Finish road to and explore river delta, settle fishing village, develop Northwestern border.

With the discovery of a new river cutting through the edge of the wood and rich bounty of food and resources along the coast beyond a new expedition is dispatched to claim it in the name of the Great Mother. Increased hunter patrols along the new road ward off bandits, and those brave and foolish enough to attack quickly find themselves captive 'husbands' for the coming mating festivals.

https://pastebin.com/ZX4Yv7Ty

Tags: Briefly described massive orgy, drugs, implied overdosing, extreme sexual exhaustion, female-on-male rape.

Action: Raise Army [Hunter Scouts] in Coiled hills.

With a new thirst for knowledge regarding the world outside their forest, the Iztacoatl mandates a squad of hunters mixed with the hardier of their beastfolk citizens be mustered to begin exploring far outside their usual range. Of course, this is no mere small hunting party, normally counting little more than four-to-six heads at most which rely on cover of the trees and rivers and their knowledge of the terrain to win out against their prey, but a full troop numbers a couple dozen strong.

Action: Expand outward into the plains to the northwest, develop Northwestern border.

Sweetheart, First of her Name, has consolidated her hold over the Khanate. This sounds very formal, very leaderlike. Most of what it involved was challenging the last of her rivals to the Cum'ha'rai, the ancient form of single combat that has settled disputes between tribes for time immemorial.

Of course, Sweetheart brought a secret weapon to the fight.

Tags: ritual combat, impregnating the loser with futa cock, obviously

Once the last of her foes at home was handled, there was only one direction to march: outward.

Since they do not sow their own fields, gathering resources inevitably takes the form of gaining control of peasantry to do the work for them. With the amount of foodstuffs and crafting materials needed, this requires a fighting force.

Action: Raise Army [The Red Horde] at Briarton

For years, the Bun'ari have ravaged and pillaged as a means of getting the resources they need. They are more than capable of fighting as units of a dozen up to a hundred horsewomen at a time. Constituting themselves into an army, however, is far different. It requires not only coordination, but discipline. The natural desires to claim what is theirs like some gang of pickpockets cannot be tolerated. Thankfully, there's a way to fix this problem:

Give them a spiffy new identity built around being the best warriors on the field, and then drill them until they vaguely resemble this idea.

The Red Horde is the first of these experiments in large cadres of skilled forces. Each woman is given a red handprint on her body, marking her as a member of the Horde. Each day they rise, expend their sexual energy, then they drill their minds and bodies into fighting form. Drilling's hard when all you want to do is fuck, but they are determined! It's all about being the best damn warrior in the entire Khanate, because when you're the best, you get the best choice of loot and pussy at the end.

Each Horde represents thousands of the Bun'ari's finest horse archers and spearwomen, all under one authority. While their numbers and organization fluctuate slightly, they are commanded by one of Sweetheart's Chosen daughters, Muffin the Unbloodied. They are to be the tip of the spear, edge of the blade when it comes to the expansion efforts. Though wild, aggressive, and still desiring to jump anything attractive, their ferocity, accuracy, and sheer numbers would hopefully make up for their lack of silly things like 'knowing what a formation is' and 'not riding into a box canyon to chase after a boy with a really cute butt'.

>>224739

>Explore and claim tile to the right of previous settlement.

>Settle said tile

>Continue the road to the south.

>Build up boreder between the mountains and the non-mountains.

>Move existing army as far north as it can go.

>Create another army on the volcano, move it up to the next tile because no road there.

Another lewdless update! Just catching up with some characters I haven't mentioned in a bit.

https://pastebin.com/tTP0zcvX

Woof, who else wants this month over, right? Jesus fuck. Apologies for the lateness, but the update is now!

Current frontrunner in the economic war IS

The Emet Collective whose ruthless urban sprawl has netted them 86 points!

Hundred Scales whose careful planning places them at a contented 74!

Grastia Entertainment Inc. keeps us happy with 53!

The Civility of the Battlefield are staying steady at 27!

Terra Titanas is making a good showing with 12!

The Bun'Ari Khanate are hopping along, now at 10!

THE EVENTFUL EVENTS OF EVENTING!

We Need Breathing Room: The region west of the mountains is becoming a dense and tightly packed area of empires, cities, and soldiers… Is there enough room for all of the inhabitants?

Filling Fall's Larders: Last year was a rough winter, don't let this harvest season go by unused!

Power Vacuum (persistent)

>Action: Explore Hex North of Settlement (Forest area)

>Action: Develop Northern Border of Briarton Settlement

With more peasants taken to farm the fields, Sweetheart turns her insatiable hunger to the North. The forests there were less populated than the grasslands but held important construction materials for sustaining the Khanate. The wood products and furs available in abundance are necessary for Bun'ari life and can be found in the production of their yurts, their bows, and even their fuzzy clothes.

>Action: Move Army [The Red Horde] from Briarton northwest to the plains area

The Red Horde is on the move! Having secured the territory around Briarton, Muffin's getting anxious. She hasn't killed or stabbed anything in literally days! Sweetheart sends her out to secure the lands previously explored, to make sure to show the flag of the new Khanate and muscle those villages and towns into paying their share into what is effectively a nation-sized protection racket.

>Action: Raise Army [The White Horde] at Briarton

With the creation of the second horde, Sweetheart realized she didn't want to put all her proverbial eggs into one basket. The Red Horde was a fierce, if somewhat undisciplined, forced on the battlefield. No one could stop them on the plains of their homelands. But for matters dealing with harder terrain like mountains or crossing rivers, they needed a force of soldiers who could work as infantry as well as cavalry.

This Horde, known as the White Horde, is also marked with the white handprint on their bodies. They are expert riders, as all Bun'ari must be, but their focus during battle is to dismount and act as shield and spear-wielding troops. They form hard rocks on which other Hordes or armies can maneuver around, and can break hostile cavalry forces upon their speartips while keeping themselves safe from arrows. In a way, they represented a check on any of the other Bun'ari clans should they try to break away. The White Horde is effectively a counter to the traditional Bun'ari battle order of horse archery and surrounding the opponent.

The new Horde's leader was Vixen. Where Muffin the Unbloodied's aggression knew no bounds, Vixen was a much more lenient overlord for the prisoners she captured in her time as a warrior. She was, however, a completely debauched pervert. During idle times or in the cold of winter, she would grow obsessed with her cock and the product thereof, pounding slave after slave into blissful submission. Her and a few of her fellow Chosen, so enamoured with their male-ish organs, undertook a lewd, body transforming ritual to make their semen an addictive drug!

With the leadership cadre made of these…deviants, the name of this Horde took on a second meaning. Reports of prisoners and warriors in the horde alike being 'anointed' with the fluids from Vixen's acts of lust being taken as badges of honour and pride, if not slurped up and swallowed immediately after them being received. Vixen cares for her soldiers and her prisoners in her own way, and no one suffers undue harm. There is a good chance, however, that if you encounter the White Horde, you may end up 'honoured' by such affections yourself.
