The Wingless sound interesting if we're just watching them, but if we're actually gonna get involved in the civilization personally, the Children of the Dead Sun are in dire need of direct guidance. Cannibalism is never a positive trait for ANY civilization.

The Children have been given the supervision. Second choice regarding the tribe is the method of influence.

Since the Children have no concept of currency, the monetary method has been removed from the palette. Secondly, since the Children don't have a concept of statecraft, the People's Voice has been removed from the palette. Thirdly, the Children do not have an established mass culture, the cultural influence has been removed from the palette.

Three options left for the method of influencing:

Religion
Violence
Witchcraft/Science

You influence the course of Children's history by means of trickery, witchcraft, shadowplay and illusion, sorcery and secrets.

You control the flow of knowledge and technology among the Children. You’re opposed by Religion, the shamans and the shadow whisperers. You have a common playfield with the domestic opponent, witchcraft. On this playfield exists a dispute over which is the proper approach - faith or proven effect.

Your knowledge of the continent is limited to the southern peninsula. What anomalies, resources and opportunities lie undiscovered outside this observable field is out of reach with current efforts. Should there be more initiatives for discovery is up to personal bravery and resources spent by the tribal chieftain.

The tribe is currently in sloth. Parties are organised periodically to amuse the religious figures, the chieftain and the restless tribe members. Food storages are fluctuating. The two lakes provide most of the nutrition in the form of molluscoid harvest. Cannibalism is not public, but a silent agreement over royalty having the right when famines strike exists. There is an option to focus cultural studies over any of these above-mentioned objects at this moment. (Two lakes, Molluscoid harvest, Parties, Cannibalism, etc.)

Should the laboratory be upgraded to level 2 meanwhile? Currently the toolkit consists of medcine, mushrooms, wooden plates, containers, flints and wooden sticks.

The guided witch doctor finishes his study with the molluscoid food source.

Molluscoids are small tentacle creatures that the tribe uses as a easy food source. Loads of them wash to the shores of a nearby lake.

Umm... the autopsy of a molluscoid specimen reveals it's slimy and grows some sort of speck on it... yuck.

The research project wound up to conclusions that the molluscoids are rich in consumer's strenght gain nutritionally, but cause a lack of soul creativity. It seems like the whole tribe is in a state of sleepwalking, because of foul nutrition to the soul.

The witch doctor has abandoned consumption of molluscoids entirely.

Furthermore, attempt to cultivate the earth by infesting various trees and grasses with mushroom spores and nutritious insects, see what sticks and what can be mass-harvested.

>>824122
The witch doctor must examine means to add soul to the molluscs. Cooking with oils, herbs or spices could perhaps add soul. Or perhaps it is the lack of ritual meals, which bind communities together? Consider these possibilities, but continue planting of seeds for alternative reliable food sources.

The witch doctor is working her ass off with different kinds of local crops. It's too early to say yet, if the agriculture is going to be a wide-spread thing, but some tribe members are starting to give their attention to her business.

No. 824802 ID: 8d4593

Now that the seeds have been selected, they must be given a home to thrive.

Tools to work the earth must be made.
In the absence of metal wood and bone will do.
Make a tool to lift up great rows of earth so that many seeds can be given shelter. Also make a movable crate, perhaps with a wheel, that can be used to transport earth over a moderate distance so trenches can be built to divert water from rivers and lakes to the tilled land.
When it comes time to harvest, there should be a secure, dry, weatherproof building and plenty of clay pots to store everything.

Perhaps the garden is a curiosity now, but once the people see the vast bounties of food that can be made, it will surely catch on.
You are a warrior people after all, and to become a strong warrior one must eat.

Successfully combining these methods the tribe has learned the invaluable technology of Agriculture!

Should the witch doctor sell her precious hours of leisure and social life to

Irrigation Systems
Crop Rotation

from the Agriculture Technology Tree

or

Heavy Ballistic Engineering

In about 48 months period you manage to refine the best food crops that nourish the many aspects of the body. With only minimal support from the tribal chieftain you have built an experimental farm that irrigates from jungle ponds near to the village. Half of the food requirements of the village are fulfilled by these few food crops that can be harvested around the year. Because of this the villagers are more relaxed, willing to raise more kids and add to the population growth.

After a few months, a visitor claiming to be an amasinery from the grand city of East Nes. He has been sent to negotiate peacecraft.

Soon after the appearance of this weird person, the witch doctor gets the task directly from the chieftain to make this amasinery to disappear by making him first drunk from her miracle medcines and then take his weapon. He doesn't elaborate what happens if the witch doctor disappoints him.

"You have failed to complete the task given to you by Me, witch doctor."

"It would have been most unwise decision, I felt I would have risked the misfortune of war upon our tribe if I had done your bidding, my chieftain."

"For this treason, warning the prey and releasing him from his encagement you are EXILED FOREVER!"

"Such is the price to pay for only serving all the best years of one's life this Chieftain! I am gone!" Maybe the city of East Nes has stronger rulers. I will make sure that the good people of this village will feel no despair because of a whim of an unwise chieftain.

Agriculture Tree.

Using the Psychotropic mastery from said tree, concoct a brew that spirals the imbiber into a permanent mad delirium.

Agree to the chieftain's proposal, but then spike His drink. He seems to be overly paranoid already. A public demonstration of how "Truely" insane he has become could convince the elders to forcibly replace him.


Never mind then.

Her name is Icon, for she shall be a living symbol of her peoples self-improvement. Which I guess would make us an Iconodulist but we're not running a religion so that's not important.

We should grant her the inspiration for a symbol by which she and those who know her shall recognize our touch upon the world.

Icon finds out that agriculture is not what she expected, but something quite freaky. No further progress has been made in Advanced Crops. Icon may have to find someone who has taken up the art of farming to progress over these issues of weirdness, like crops reacting to her touch with fluoroscence. Nothing is to find nothing about this in the spoken lore of the former witch doctor.
