Welcome to Civilization - a text adventure (with pictures/maps as well). Your tribe is approximately 500 strong. Being highly nomadic, it is time to settle down and form a city.
(I will provide choices - you can respond as you wish, picking one, a combination of two or more, or a choice not listed. The most popular choice will be the action taken).
First things first - where shall we settle the town?
A. A grassy, plains area with some hills. Small lakes dot the area, but there is a lack of minerals found in mountainous and more aquatic areas. Hunting and farming would be the preferred methods of gathering food, which while effective, may not entirely make up for the lack of military technology caused by late discovery/gathering of metals. Easily defensible due to the town being founded atop a large plateau.
B. A riverside coastline. A good choice both economically and militarily, providing sources of food through fishing and being fairly defensible. Embedded in the sands the river flows over may be lost technology, or minerals you would otherwise not find. A major flaw is in early water supply, being that the salt-water in the river would not be healthy to drink.
C. The mountainous highlands. Very well defensible - borderline impossible to successfully besiege. Other civilizations may have trouble finding you, although this is not entirely beneficial as that is trade you would otherwise not have. Your military would probably be best off in this position - having early access to precious metals as well as later, gunpowder.
You may make choices now - after a sufficient majority has been seen we will settle the town.

We need a tiebreaker voter.

Nay, not Austria... BOHEMIA! We will annex Poland, Hungary and Lithuania! And form a great Empire! |
|
|
Hmm. I wish to change my vote to C. Because we can still have Austria or some other central European area. |

The tribe settles in along a well-flowing river. You have luckily brought along a few weeks worth of food, but it will only last that long if not less. You have little knowledge of the area, and of whether or not you are neighbors with any other tribes. The infrastructure is lacking, with basic dirt roads leading to and from structures. The tribe has no religion, and as such morale is less than it could be. What orders shall we give the tribe?
A. Improve food gathering
B. Explore the area
C. Improve infrastructure
D. Improve military
E. Found a religion
F. Improve culture
G. Something else

You send scouts towards the east and south. While swimming across the smaller than expected river, five scouts were caught in a wave and drowned. The rest, however, came back and reported that there were signs of life such as old camp sites that you are certain were not used by you. The scouts from the south reported little, but believe they saw mountains in the distance. They did not get close enough to inspect them.
