Game thread here Shank 2 is a video game developed by Klei Entertainment. It's a fast-paced beat-em-up action game, quite unlike its predecessor. With a campaign mode that's brutally hard on the hardest difficulty, and a co-op mode that keeps players coming back for more. It's available on Steam and on the Klei website for PC, Mac, and Linux - and players on different types of computer can even play together! Hey everybody, I'm representing our great community in a PBP Clash of Cultures game. I am the leader of The Mafia Murder Mpire, a great nation hemmed in by the sea. Down on my luck, I decided my best option was to turn to you to help me win this game and prove something or another. Anyway, tell me what to do in the game, vote on it and then I'll do it. Other Nations Gaia's Stepchildren (Green) (frankenfreak) Not currently aggressive and playing in a non optimal way, it does not seem like the culture across the river is threatening to us at the moment. Balseraphs (Yellow) (Cynic Jester) IDK Jebusites (Red) (Abyssal Squid) Squid seems like a cool and friendly guy who wants to work with me but also clearly knows the most about this game. Current Board  (we're blue) Rules I'm still in the process of determining these but I want to have a stupidly formal system for making proposals and voting on them. Everybody in here is presumed to be a councilor, you can decide what you're a councilor of though. Things we can vote on: Flag - I made a flag, but it's mostly a joke about the sea screwing us over and cosmetic stuff is always the most fun for voting City names - We have two cities, let's name them. This OP - It's very slapshod and poorly thrown together, how can we make it better Proposal rules - I want a stupid method of voting for my actions in this game, what should it be. Game strategy - Do the work for me please Other stuff - Pretty much any action I can make in the thread you can make a proposal for. Current Councilors:

Current conclusions: Green in weak position. Ignore for now. Later, look for capturing cheap cities off of. Try to capture cheap cities before Yellow does. Yellow: Work with against red. Red: In best position. Destroy. You: are playing wrong. Economic Liberty is the most overpowered advancement and I highly recommend it. For your next turn go 2 food -> fishing -> your choice of 1 wood from your second city or making your second city happy. I personally like making your second city happy, for your eventual port there. During your status phase get writing. All future actions depend on events your enemies trigger through advancement.

OK I'm not going to do anything without a formal proposal and vote on that proposal though. This is a legislative LP of Clash of Cultures.

It's in thread, he's been giving me advice and said this in the last post: Abyssal Squid posted:Okay the Jebusites may look like dumb baby cowards just hiding from the Balseraphs and praying for safety, but once we get some answers we're gonna come forth and teach them those answers. Also MMM bring your cities over here so we can set up trade routes with each other okay, next round I'll start bringing cities north for you to trade with if you research Trade Routes.

As for game updates, we received one food from squid during status phase. The most obvious actions to me at this point are: 1) start getting a bunch of advances, focusing toward the democracy section 2) rush roads and push my second settler out to unexplored territory (I can do this in one turn) 3) make efforts to increase the size of my cities

Alright here's a rule: Once we tech to voting (which we'll get to at some point since that's the kind of game it looks like we're playing) We'll start a real voting system, until then everybody should just shout different things and I'll do whatever seems best.

Hi, I'm an emissary from the Jebusites, and boy have I got some good news for you! Moloch doesn't want to eat your children! Right now he only wants to eat Jebusite children, so it would probably be great if you could help us maintain a steady stream of Jebusite children flowing and he doesn't turn to eating Mafia Murder children after all. Thanks! By the way, he doesn't want to eat the children of Gaia's Stepchildren or the Balseraphs, but that's because they're not people, they're dogs and lizards in the shape of people, respectively. They're no good as live sacrifice.

Abyssal Squid do you want to be a councilor?

Can my title be Ambassador from the Jebusites? My only advice in that capacity is "let's get cities paired up 2 spaces from each other so we can get some trade routes going with no trouble" and "don't start worshiping Moloch's enemies." I'll have to take another look at your board if you want me to suggest tech and stuff, but Fishing is probably a good place to start! Oh you have that already, good that's a start, with Writing you can build academies and get tons of ideas without hitting the limit on food, idk. Probably best to settle a third city ASAP so you can get those size-3 cities, considering you have two city-size techs already. Abyssal Squid fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Dec 6, 2014 |

Gather 1 wood, 1 ore from I3 Spend it to build an academy at h4 Something something depending on your action cards (seriously abuse them!)

I guess that's fair, it can only collect 3 resources until we get husbandry though I have action cards that given me another action basically but all I can really do with my 3rd action in that turn would be move my settler to the woods

MildManeredManikin posted:I guess that's fair, it can only collect 3 resources until we get husbandry though It can collect food from the sea tile, due to fishing (gold when you later have a port) And yeah, moving is probably best. First action next turn should probably be another move, and depending on what's revealed, Public Education into gathering 1 food, 1 wood, 1 ore, 1 idea.

Mad Rancher's plan looks solid, and if your action cards don't give you anything useful to work with, Public Education is a good choice. Getting ideas when you go fishing means you can eat your fish instead of researching the fish, which is especially important before you get Storage. Keep moving that settler when you get a chance, though!
