Fuck it I'll run with it

am newfag, how does this work?

Vote for a Civ (writing up insects now) and make simple choices. You'll see in a second.

Seconded, how's this work?

Cool, bugs it is.

>Hive

You search the Scrubland for provisions, and your winged drones find enough small mammals on their hunt to have provisions for 3 extra turns. However, one drone does not return to the remnants group. This drone was tasked to hunt nearest the base of the mountain.

Count:
9 Winged Drones (Frail bodied winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
18 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 3 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 5 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Search for the missing drone
B. Continue across the bridge towards the smoke
C. Begin building a hive with new provisions
D. Other

Village worries me.

>NewOldFag

C, and send a scorpion+drone to peek at the villiage.

seconded

>9823

>NewOldFag
forgot to sign

It worries me too, but we need to stay low for a while and gather some tech before killing some hoomans

C

>Hive

Fuck me mate. It would seem something evil lives in that cave up the mountain. Can we send a delegate to the city to ask if they know anything about creatures in the mountainside?

If that's too much to ask I say we just begin building a hive, our strength is primarily in numbers above all else.

Quick-Wings

Op, what do we know about how other races few the insects?

>NewOldFag

Figuring the drone is not of consequence, your ant workers begin constructing a sturdy hive under the bridge from their viscous spit (2 turns until completion due to building bonus). Meanwhile, a drone and scorpion are dispatched toward the smoke as scouts. They discover a human troupe of traveling troubadours, lightly armed entertainers. They appear to be packing up their camp, and seem to head to the bridge. Luckily, the hive will be complete before they arrive at the bridge.

Count:
9 Winged Drones (Frail bodied winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
21 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 3 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 4 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Prepare to assault the humans at their camp
B. Attempt to make peace with some
C. Retreat to the bridge and wait to ambush
D. Other

Viewed negatively by all races, especially dwarves. Can make peace with elves or humans, but peace is always uneasy

>OP

Ty

B, attempt to negotiate a passage. They can cross, and leave us alone. They're moving through anyway, no one needs to get hurt.

>NewOldFag

Announcement:

I'll be running this thread at 9 PM EST every night, 7 days a week. I save all Civs, so we can pick up from where we left off or start a new one each time

Avoid bloodshed. They may be willing to trade information about the area for safe passage. Our flying drones are invaluable for scouting ahead in a dangerous Forest.

>Quick-Wings

>Hive

put 1 scorpion under the bridge with the queen. put two scorpions on either side of the road, hidden. put the wing things under the bridge with the queen, when the trap springs, release them

>9823

by release them, I mean release the wing things

The work on the hive is complete! Now that the hive is finished, Ant Workers can be evolved over a few turns into existing combat units (3 Ant Soldiers = Winged Drone, 5 Ant Soldiers = Scorpion Soldier) or random new units. Meanwhile, the hive waits under the bridge in silence, hearing the loud troubadours come closer to the bridge with their loaded wagons. There are about 20 humans in total, with only 3 being armed warriors.

Count:
9 Winged Drones (Frail bodied winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
25 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 3 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Assault them from up under the bridge
B. Attack from the sides and close in on the middle.
C. Allow them to pass after all
D. Other

I really like this, but can we use the element of surprise and intimidation to our advantage?

By the time they arrive we will have over 25 workers. I think the sudden chittering of few dozen insects out of nowhere might make the humans shit themselves.

>Quick-Wings

You can use this as a D. option this turn, very creative.

>OP

C. To much risk of survivors.

>X

I second this D option albeit with an attempt to intimidate and frenzy the non warrior humans

>Quick-Wings

surprise, yes, inimidation no. I'd like to kill them no survivors.

Let's try this.

>Hive

D

>9823

Fuck it, option D

>NewOldFag

The trap is set. A scorpion soldier quietly shimmies their way to either side of the bridge, waiting in ambush. As soon as all of the humans and their wagons are on the bridge, the drones buzz in an angry roar, and cries of fear are heard from above. The drones descend on the humans, grabbing the few non combatants that aren’t fleeing to either side of the bridge and dropping them in the river. The ant workers descend on them, overpowering them with numbers and tearing them apart (+2 provisions). Two soldiers attempt to lead a group of jesters back from whence they came, with one of them slicing a drone soldier in two. However, the scorpion grabs both of them and cuts them apart with his pincers, stabbing the others as they run. The last soldier and his group running the opposite way also kill a drone, but meet a similar fate. The scene grows quiet. The humans are slaughtered. In their wagons you find 15 sets of armor which can fit on your drone soldiers!

Count:
7 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
29 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 5 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Explore the surrounding area
B. Begin evolving ant workers
C. Seek more provisions
D. Other

Sorry for the wait fellas, but the longer a decision is debated the longer it will take me to write.

>OP

Send 4 workers out to scout the area, begin producing more workers.

>NewOldFag

B, equip soldiers and any new soldiers we have with human armor.

B.

>X

B

With these shiny new carapace from the humans, our enemies shall become grubs for the feasting

All glory to the queen!

>Quick-Wings

You begin to evolve your workers into more winged drones which can wear the armor you found. 24 Worker ants cocoon themselves and congeal into 8 Winged drones, which are outfitted in leather armor. Meanwhile, your winged scouts search the scrubland, and discover the body of the missing drone from the past. He is found dead, impaled by multiple crossbow bolts. Near the body is a well-hidden dwarf hole (not the cave from earlier).

OPTIONS:
A. Scout inside the dwarf hole
B. Siege the dwarf hole
C. Ignore it and scout the forest instead
D. Other

Count:
15 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
5 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 4 turns

>OP

We should leave the dwarf hole alone for a bit.

C, but post a few scouts near the entrance of the hole.

>9823

C. Look for provisions.

Soundtrack for this thread

Posting 2 winged scouts outside the dwarf hole, you search the surrounding forest. The path past the humans’ former encampment splits into a fork in the road. Two road signs point down the two new paths. One sign pointing Northeast is clearly written in Elvish rune, while the other to the Northwest is written in Human lettering.

Count:
15 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
9 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 3 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Take full scout force (13 drones) Northeast
B. Same Northwest
C. Split the forces
D. Return to the hive

We're melee, I don't think elves are a good idea.

D, and build up to take the dwarfs.

>NewOldFag

D return to the hive, I want to make friendly contact with the elves at some point. Having our numbers combined with their magic would be great for everybody. I don't want our evolving fam undefended tho.

SUPER UNDERRATED COMMENT.

I'm gonna fall asleep listening to this tonight

You return to the hive, not willing to risk more scouts.

OPTIONS:
A. Hunt for provisions
B. Evolve more Worker Ants
C. Improve Hive Structure
D. Other

C. Lets create a more secure structure, especially with the risk of a flood sweeping us away.
OP how tall is the bridge?

C

>9823

Bridge is about 25 meters long, 8 meters at end and 11 meters in middle.

>OP

C

Also curious how high off the water our bridge is.

>Quick-Wings

That's a big bridge.

8 meters and 11 meters in height, to clarify.

Your worker ants are set to begin fortifying the hive. Tunnels are dug into the banks to either side of the bridge, allowing for the queen to escape or easier ambush cleanup. The hive itself is also expand, in some places actually touching the water of the river. The water soaks up into the hive, making it more flame retardant (flames having burned your last hive.)

Count:
15 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
17 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)

OPTIONS:
A. Hunt for provisions
B. Evolve more Worker Ants
C. Move forces to dwarf hole/forest
D. Other

I'm going with
C
>boolin

A. Fully divert to resource gathering.

>X

It's a big fucking river

>OP

A

holy cow we're out of food. might wanna evolve sole scorpion guys too, winged guys aren't gonna be of much use in the tunnels

>9823

We need food, for sure.

>NewOldFag

You hunt in the scrubland, collecting more resources using more winged drones to hunt (+4 provisions). However, as you complete the hunt, one of your winged scouts from the dwarf hole flies towards the group, carapace punctured with a crossbow bolt. The other drone wasn’t so lucky. The dwarves are coming, 10 in number and heavily armed with crossbows and axes, wearing metal armor.

Count:
14 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
3 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
21 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 5 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Attack the dwarves in the scrubland
B. Fall back and defend the hive.
C. Abandon the hive and flee to the forest.
D. Other

send raiding party of 3 drones to dwarf hole, mess them up, hopefully lure the main body of dwarves back. otherwise, B, and try to evolve some scorpion guys before the dwarves get here

17 v 10, and 3 of the drones have armor.
B

>NewOldFag

D. Dig dead falls underground to trap dwarves. Prepare for defense.

B

Defend the hive from within the tunnels we dug out last turn. The dwarves bows will be useless in such close quarters, and we are familiar with our own hive. I say we lay an ambush.

>Quick-Wings

I like the defense prep, but still B.

>NewOldFag

Facts

>Quick-Wings

Your hive acts quickly. 3 drones fly quickly by the group, beaming toward the dwarf hole. The dwarves fire but miss. While powerful, the bows (or their users) aren’t incredibly accurate. 2 dwarves return towards the hole, splitting their forces. The 8 other dwarves continue to march on the bridge. Your forces fall back under the bridge to defend. Your scorpion warriors dig into the tunnels and await the stomping dwarf feet. Your ant workers cocoon, and can evolve by next turn. The drones fly at the dwarves as a distraction. 2 are shot from the air, while another dwarf is attacked by the drones and lifted in the air and dropped, killing him. Your scorpion soldiers spring from the tunnels and stab upwards, killing three more dwarves. Their pincers snarl the four remaining as another drone and a scorpion soldier are cut down. Your drones fall upon the 4 remaining dwarves, and swarm them to death (+2 provisions). The hive is safe… for now.

Count:
11 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
2 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
25 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour) (Cocooned)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 6 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Attack the dwarf hole now, following your drone diversion
B. Wait for evolutions, then attack
C. Wait for evolutions and regroup at hive before attacking
D. Other

Search for provisions

Gonna ignore that 2 seconds to late post.

Go with Evolve

B

>9823

That went well.

C, regroup, wait for drones, then attack.

Create signature if you don't already have one, and pick from options unless choosing D.

>OP

>NewOldFag

oh, long term plan guys. if we kill all the dwarves, you guys wanna move the hive into their tunnels? seems kinda better defended than what we have now. OP, how long would it take to move/make new hive down there, if we do manage to take it?

Let's see if we can clear it out first.

Your building is overpowered. If you move the queen there, one turn. 3 turns unless you have 15 plus worker ants but you already evolved them. Can create a second queen for one at each hive.

>OP

I like the new queen idea, but still let's do C

>NewOldFag

B

Don't give them time to regroup or wonder where the fuck the dwarves went. Hit them as soon as we have hatched more warrior class.

>Quick-Wings

seconding this. new queen thing can wait till we have a new place, lol

>9823

Forgot to ask if we could salvage the armour off of our two fallen wingy bois

Your evolutions burst from their cocoons, 3 new drones are produced and 3 new scorpion soldiers are added. The armor from the dead drones is recovered and given to new drones. You quickly push on towards the dwarf hole. However, you find your 3 drones slain with a dead dwarf nearby. The little bastard may have retreated back down into his hole.

Count:
11 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
5 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
5 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 5 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Send a drone down into the dwarf hole
B. Send a scorpion soldier down into the dwarf hole
C. Attempt to collapse the dwarf hole
D. Full frontal assault on the dwarf hole
E. Other

Fucking D, lead with the scorpions, they seem the best in tunnels.

>NewOldFag

E how far is the river? Can we flood these fuckers out? If not then option D.

>Quick-Wings

You could but you can't unflood it as easily, plus would take a few turn to ford the river with old human wagons. It is an option though.

>OP

We should save it. We reproduce fast, we'll make up the losses from assult with two hives easily.

This, let's end this with the scorpions. Maybe start making a new queen back at the hive to populate this tunnel.

>9823

You choose to full on attack the hole, sending in your 5 scorpion soldiers down into the hole, the drones following behind. As they skitter, the first soldier is burnt to death by a flame trap the dwarves have set. The next two are crushed to death by a falling rock trap. The assault continues however, and you arrive at their burrow. Three dwarves attack the first scorpion through the hole with their axes, felling him. The next however kills a dwarf with his stinger, while the other two are grabbed by their pincers. The drones swarm in behind and swarm the dwarves, killing them finally. The dwarves are slaughtered. Their cave is filled with tech, such as metal armor which can be cobbled together to outfit scorpion troops, provisions (+3 provisions), and a prototype ballista cannon.

Count:
11 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
1 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails.)
9 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 8 turns

OPTIONS:
A. Salvage everything and collapse the dwarf hole
B. Create a new hive immediately in the dwarf hole
C. Return to the original hive, leaving behind drone guards
D. Other

I'm thinking C, we have neighbors.

>NewOldFag

C, two drones gaurds and a ballista should be okay for defense, besides we are the only ones who know the dwarves are gone for now. No one is going to steal this base from us in a single turn, I don't wanna stay away long tho.

>Quick-Wings

Also, we're low on peeps. It might be bedtime. I'm planning on being back tomorrow.

>NewOldFag

seconded. a major priority for now should be to build up more forces, we lost a lot in that run.

>9823

I would vote C two hives is better than one. Just got into this thread and dont know if Im allowed to vote though
>newbie

I meant B I am an idiot

You decide to return to the original hive, fearing threats from the other side of the bridge. You place 2 drone guards outside of the conquered dwarf hole, and have your only remaining scorpion drag the ballista out of the tunnel and place it above the hole, adding to its defense. You return to the hive to find all is well.

Count:
11 Winged Drones (Armored and winged insectoids with sharp mandibles)
1 Scorpion Soldiers (Six-Legged Scorpions armed with pincers and poisoned tails… Outfitted with metal dwarven armor.)
13 Ant Workers (Nearly defenseless being with a desire to labour)
1 Ant Queen (can produce asexually, spawns 4 new Ant workers per turn)
Provisions for 7 turns
