I was born to a small village in the marshes of Oneula.

I spent my childhood there, aweing the hats and shoes they had.
I was happy there, farming, making things. My village was not the best, but it was humble.

When I became a young adult, still working in my village, I heard people talking of an amazing land, full of wealth, order, innovation and freedom, close in the east. I quickly became interested, even telling my best friend about it. He was concerned about the lack of horses and I would make their progression slower.

I was indeed worried, but someone caught a wild steed, so I went quickly to work, feeding a sheep, borrowing a knife to kill said sheep to make saddle. It was done, I took two pies for food, a knife for defence and a slip of paper, written by an ancient ancestor of mine. I seated on my horse and rode east. I rode and rode, never looking back. I was very careful in the deserts of the snakes, as those pesky buggers could kill my horse. I was getting closer, I heard the sound of city life in the distance. I saw a bell, no TWO bells, a sign of power.

I rode and rode and... I made it, I made it there! It was bustling, I was greeted, but there was one woman, this woman, she was as greeting as the others, in fact, she even hated me for coming there. She claimed us immigrants were ruining the land, I guess a native.

Then soon after, I became friends with an unlikely person, Supreme Lincoln (Not real name), the female representative of this great land. I looked around the land. At the time, I was wearing bowler hat, pants out of cheap cloth and wooden shoes. We discussed a bit and we made a name for the land, United States of One Hour, shortened to USOH.

I looked around some more. They all were right, well, a big part of it at least. It wasn't very wealthy, but wealthier than my village, there was order, a lot of innovation, I even saw one of the so called wright brothers making a strange contraption, but most important of all, there was freedom. As time went on and did some work there, I got myself my first set of fancy clothes.

I was proud of this land, I even saw the new president, well, representative. I became old and became weaker. I knew my time was running out, I heard this very faint music that people talk about as they are about to die. I heard how the music was ending, so I said goodbye to my friends and drifted to sleep.

Next thing a know, I'm born to mother in...

THE END?

I forgot to mention, to curse somebody, you can just say the first and last name, ignoring the middle name

While going home, I thought: "hey, what if we had more naming and such options?" and now I'm here

Middle names:
Middle names are set as normal names, but you have to say the middle after saying the real name
Example:
Mom James names son Jack James, mom says "you are Adam" and sons name turns into Jack Adam James
Only moms and fathers can only name their own children with middle names

Speaking of fathers
Fathers:
Right now, the only parent everyone has are mothers, so I though of a simple, but cooperative system
When a mother gives birth, during the span where the baby can't to anything e.g. pick up things, a male player and a female player can become parents of that child, existing and future children as well
To become a father, the two players have to say: "NAME is my wife/husband" in a span of 30sec
Keep in mind, being husband and wife is till death so if one of them dies, then the father for example still sees the kids as sons and daughter, not cousins or something

After that, all children of that mother become the fathers children, of course being also name their middle name
If one of the parents dies, the other one can marry another player, but all existing children and their new father or mother will see a step-son/daughter/mother/father, but all future children will just see mother and father

I just drew a diagram of regular old shaving, not stylising and such, since that would take a very long time.
I'm using MS paint for god's sakes

not romans again mad

besides, this game is not historic
if it would be a historic game, then it should start with Lucy & in Africa & follow the development of humans
but it isn't, it's sort of an allegory

I used the name "Roman", because of the marble and clothing ideas, it isn't roman, it just ideas that may have originated from Rome
Again, I'm not saying it's historic because I mentioned Rome, I'm saying some of the tech I wrote in this post is Roman, or Greek if you care

BTW I'm not butthurt in any way, it seems you are the one who is le butthurt

Kinda plays into a racial biological stereotype of what makes a person good. Not very modern.

Yea, it's not very logical, but just wanted to make people get blue eyes by being very good people

This focuses on the technologies in the roman empire

Marble:
Marble would be found in the rocklands/mountains as a rare-ish resource, which is beautiful and only for decoration reasons
You could make statues from other players, if only that player is close to it in a 3x3 tile radius, the block of marble being in the center
You can chop it up to make marble floors and wall as well pillars

Pillars:
Those can give a building a stylish look and you can use pillars for levitated water canals to bring water from one place to the other without it being much in the way

Armour:
I have asked about this for god knows how long and now that we have bronze or copper, we should be now able to make armour to protect ourselves from griefers trying to stab or shoot us
They range from regular helmets and chest plates to those detailed chest plates and helmets with those red or such hairs on it

Giving a use to helmets and armour:
Armour is understandable, as it protects you from griefers and wild animals, but why helmets?
Helmets protect you from head injuries, as you may hit your head while tripping or hitting it on a branch
Some give you debuffs, some need treatment and a few result in an instant death
instant deaths are rare and hitting your head with a branch or by tripping is very rare, but human and animal attack to your head have a highers chance

clothes:
Roman clothes were simple that covered up the you-know-what parts by being a big or small skirt like clothes piece, the simplest clothes being just a piece of large cloth, tied to the body

Currency:
To get money, more like coins, you'll need a gold bar and a saw
You'll get 20 coins from 1 gold bar
Coins are for roleplay and such reasons
I'd like to see merchant players selling other players tools and such for a price, sometimes hilariously high prices
coins can be stored in a rabbit pouch, which fit 100 coins AKA 5 gold bars worth of gold

The romans were pretty advanced people at the time, so I thought might as well advance civilization in game smile

#143 Re: Main Forum » Curse? How about *bless* » 2019-03-01 10:36:40

Blesses should work like this:
5-10 blesses - A birthmark on the cheek
20 blesses - blue eyes

The blesses reset after 1-2 days
3 blesses reduce the curse counter by 1, but once you become a donkey, it has no effect

I recently got a new computer and I have a steam version of the game, but I wonder, can I move the game from my old com to my new com by USB or disc? or is it on my old com permanently?

It's an idea I've had that includes a lot of things, some useless, some useful

Portraits:
This would help people in game, know what did the person look like
You're able to also write a name on it by attaching a written paper to it, you could honestly write anything and attach it, but you can't take it off
The only way to get rid of it, is to just wait it for to break apart

The portraits would be the same as you see on the family trees, the blue background and the frame being the wooden frame
to make a portrait, you need these: A canvas, paint, a brush and a frame

-Canvas is made by using latex on regular cloth, not on wings
-Brush is made by combining a short shaft and horse hair (Get horse hair by using shears on a horse)
-Paint is made by making white, black, red, blue, and yellow colours in each container and dropping them together
-You get those paints by crushing up the correct colour of material, mineral or plant, and adding palm oil to it:
  -Red & blue: crush up the plant or stone and add oil
  -Yellow: New plant or stone, rinse and repeat
  -Black: Charcoal crushed and add oil
  -White: add oil to ash
-Frame is made by making the frame for the pine needle door or wall, don't add rope for netting and just put on finished portrait

Inventions:
Okay, this may sound like me being a jerk, but different inventions could be added, where you can't find the correct way to make it on the tech tree, only in game from the notes, so it's trial and error, which can end up as a pile of junk, a useless item or a very useful item

To be honest, I only made this post only to write about paintings, so if you got any ideas to add here, add them smile

Make the ring person's choice
other people can't put rings on others... well, not engagement rings, put you can put on jewelry rings

Don't want the OHOL "creepy girlfriends/boyfriends" in game
