>>6278486

You are the humans of Windswept Valley, you used to be nomads but after one raid against your people too many, you figured you need some walls between you and the raiders. You found a river, made a kiln and began baking clay bricks. After a few seasons, you had built for yourselves a tall wall surrounding a far less impressive settlement.That should keep most of the raiders out.

Your traditional magic is the animal companion. Several magicians in your tribe have bears and wolves as companions, who walk through the streets of your city, unharmed and not harming anyone.

You have herds, and walls and now you must face the realities of harvest. Besides the animals, you only have a few spearmen as defenders.

I'm going to roll 2d100 and it will determine the percentile of your people your harvest will feed.

Then you decide what to do.

Year 2

You built some barracks and started drilling troops. By now you have 30 strong men ready to fight, though they only have clubs and pointy sticks as their weapons of choice, and hides as their armor.

The raiders return, but upon seeing your walls, they don't dare attack. They send a diplomat and demand tribute, or they will come with big force and take over your city.

> Pay 10% tribute in grain to the raiders
> Kill their diplomat in a show of defiance
> Refuse their offer, says this land is yours and you won't be blackmailed

Rolling 2d100 for the harvest.

What are these raiders equipment?

>>6278511
>What are these raiders equipment?

The raiders have chariots pulled by horses, archers and swordsmen. They must have a city somewhere, but you don't know where.

Year 3

You refuse the their offer, claiming this land as yours and saying you won't be blackmailed. The diplomat says he will return, and leaves with his men.

You start mining for ore and build a smith. You can train spearmen and swordsmen now!

Spearmen are good against cavalry, but they are very weak troops, only good in large numbers.

Swordsmen are good against other infantry, and carry reinforced shields that offer a measure of protection against archers. Fielding them has an upkeep cost, however, as their equipment requires maintenance and the warriors must be fed and liberated to have time to hone their skills.

In any case, troops consume 10 times more food than regular people. (10 soldiers = food for 100 people). You ought to consider if you can feed your army. If you can't, they will disband.

Nevermind, I'm retarded.

Rolled 59, 3 = 62 (2d100)

Year 4

You build a granary to store the extra grain. Leftover food from the previous year shouldn't rot often anymore, as they are stored in sealed clay jars.

You couldn't pay your swordsmen, so they disbanded.

Some of your ex-swordsmen become mercenaries, others become adventurers, others just stop fighting altogether.

A merchant caravan from the west shows up. They are loaded with gold but don't have much anything else. They are going to buy silk in the east.

Year 5

You made the caravan men pay some gold for the privilege of having food and shelter in your lands. They then depart and you don't hear from them again.

You dig an irrigation system! Now you can roll 3d100 to pick the 2d100 highest when determiningt the harvest.

You can't feed all of your troops so 10 spearmen disband.

A wandering troupe of magicians shows up at your settlement.

They ask for food, shelter and a contribution to their cause.
They offer entertainment and the possibility of trading spells.

For trade they have the spells:

Rainfall: summon a crazy cloud that rains torrentially for five minutes, turning the earth into mud in a large area. Useful for getting enemy fast troops stuck in the mud.
Summon Fairy: fairies can fly and do magic tricks. They also have a ranged magical attack. They require mana upkeep.

They will trade 1 spell for 1 spell.

Rip food.

>>6278607

Year 6

You trade spells with the wandering magicians and learn Rainfall! They leave happy with their new animal companions.

The harvest is bad! You disband your troops and 1,200 people pack their things and leave town, seeking greener pastures.

Your town is ungarrisoned! Civil war sparks and there is no one to impose order!

200 people are killed before the conflict subsides.

Belkamor and his gang of thugs emerge as the dominating power.

You are unable to make potash fertilizer this turn due to the civil war!

Year 7

You finally manage to make your potash! Now you get a +10% bonus on the food yield.

You search your gold stores and notice half the gold disappeared!

Concerned about the food shortage and fearing his kingdom could come to an abrupt end with another, King Belkamor wishes to secure alternative food supplies.

Rolled 34, 86, 40 = 160 (3d100)

>>6278620

Year 8

We make preparations for exploiting the Rainfall spell for irrigation purposes by digging a basin connected to the irrigation system!

But our plans are foiled for now.

First, the mages take a month to gather enough energy to cast the spell again after the first time, so we can't spam it ... unless we spend a lot of gold (40 gold per casting of the spell), turning the gold into magic with a ritual.

Even then, the mages doubt they'd be able to cast the spell more than once a day. They're simply not that skilled, our magic isn't that powerful.

We build a sawmill! We can now train bowmen.

Bowmen are long range troops. Good for garrisoning walls and attacking supported by other infantry, but on their own they can prove too flimsy to handle combat - unless they are fielded in large enough numbers that they can shoot all the enemies before they approach. The equipment is expensive and breaks all the time, so bowmen too require upkeep.

A tribe of monsters settles nearby. They begin to harass your farmers!

Rolled 69, 76, 5 = 150 (3d100)

>>6278634

You draft people into a militia and attack the monsters!

The monsters are Ogres!

Roll 3d100 for combat!

Your DC is 70 (-10 greatly outnumbers, +20 enemy too strong, +10 fear)

The enemy DC is 40 (+10 greatly outnumbered, -20 enemy too weak)

Whoever gets more successes wins.

100 = 2 successes. enemy doesn't crit.
1 = -1 success. enemy CAN crit fail.
Dubs (11, 22, 99 etc) always count as 1 success regardless of DC. Enemy dubs don't count.

In a tie, you win.

Choose strategy:
> Meat Wave: overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers. Reduce DC by 10, but you will suffer much greater losses.
> Sacrifice of the companions: send your companions to die in the frontlines. You can roll one additional dice, and ignore the lowest. You will have to spend an action summoning them again before you can use them another time.
> Trick the ogres: pretend you want to parley before you attack. Reduce DC by 10 but the tactic is dishonorable and you will get a bad reputation.

Year 9

After the heroic sacrifice of your animal companions softening the ogres in the frontlines, the rest of your people manage to kill many of them, although not without great losses!

The survivors are driven away!

You build a market to get some revenue! You start making 2 gold/turn. The market will also increase other revenues you acquire by 50%.
