Welcome to Gaia! ::

The following will be the items you will find and the amount of it's respective item you will obtain from it. (/post is per villager working on that particular area.

Medium Mine: 3000 gold (15/post)

*These grow over time, and take a total of ten posts to mature to their final count.

You will begin each story with 250 food, 150 wood, 100 gold, and 0 favor.

Please keep a count of your resources in your posts so you do not have to figure it out as it comes up. Also, please keep a count of your population.

This post will be to show how much each member of your civilization will cost towards your population limit, and how much it costs to hire each unit.

Villagers - 50 food, 1 pop
Primary Infantry - 60 food, 35 gold, 2 pop
Secondary Infantry - 60 food, 25 gold, 2 pop
Primary Range - 55 wood, 35 gold, 2 pop
Secondary Range - 60 wood, 20 gold, 2 pop
Primary Cavalry - 36 meat, 72 gold, 3 pop
Secondary Cavalry - 63 food, 36 gold, 3 pop
Primary Siege - 150 wood, 200 gold, 3 pop
Secondary Siege - 300 wood, 200 gold, 4 pop
Myth Units* - x pop

*Myth unit cost is variant depending on each myth unit, and their pop cost is dependent on their use and size. A small myth unit (Scorpion Man, Anubite, etc.) is 2 pop, a medium myth unit (Manticore, Nemean Lion, etc.) is 3 pop, and a large myth(Collossus, Ice Giant, etc.) unit is 4 pop. A scouting myth unit (Pegasus, Raven, etc.) is 1 pop.

The following will be the cost of naval units.

Fishing Ship - 50 wood, 1 pop
Transport Ship - 120, 2 pop
Arrow Ship - 100 wood, 50 gold, 2 pop
Hammer Ship - 100 Wood, 50 gold, 2 pop
Seige Ship - 100 wood, 100 gold, 3 pop
Myth Unit - 200 gold, 15 favor - 5 pop

The following is where you will be able to hire these units.

Villager - Town Center
Infantry - Military Academy
Range - Archery Range
Seige - Fortress
Myth Unit - Temple

As you can see, you will have to gain a level before you can hire any attack forces. The naval forces are a bit different, though. All naval units will be hired from the docks, but the units you can hire depend on your level. The naval units you can hire will be as follow.

Fishing ship - lvl1
Transport ship - lvl2
Arrow ship - lvl2
Hammer ship - lvl3
Siege ship - lvl4

Naval myth units are special, however. If you chose a sea god as your minor god, only then will you be able to use them, and you will be able to use them after you have that god's favor. This will be covered in the next post.

This post will be to keep track of all of the ongoing stories involving Age of Mythology. They will be separated by their creator.

The Atrocity Exhibition
Chapter 1: Three For All

Now comes time to explain the battle system. The battle system will be role played, but it will revolve around the roll of a dice. The warring parties will roll a singe twenty sided dice, and the winner of that exchange will be the one with the higher number. This will go on for a best of three out of five exchange. For each victory of the roll, the opponent will lose ten of their units, as the max number of units per battle is 30. This is not limiting your forces to only thirty units, but the number you may control at one time will be limited to 30. This is, of course, unless you are instructed otherwise. If there are allied forces, then each player/hero controls thirty per army.

You may be wondering, though, where levels come into play. Well, they come into effect during battle. After each roll, you will add your level to your roll. So if you roll a 13 and you are level 1, your final number is 14.

Following this post will be a demonstration of the battle system so that you will get a better understanding, if needed.

Nebmaatre marched in front of Ragnar's army, commanding a force of thirty units counting himself. Ten Camelry made up the front line, followed by nine War Elephants, and then ten Chariot Archers made up the back line. Behind the entire force was Nebmaatre himself, but he wasn't hiding. He was saving himself for the last, and best, part of the fight. Besides, he knew that if he died, the town would be unable to defend itself if the forces got past here, so staying alive was crucial.

With that, he ordered for his forces to attack. The Camelry rushed towards Ragnar's front line, holding their formation, while the War Elephants lumbered slowly behind them. None of this happened, of course, until after a round of arrows was fired from the Chariot Archers. Nebmaatre watched the diabolical attack unfold.

RESOURCES:
Food - 2000
Wood - 1000
Gold - 2000
Pop. - 150/175
lvl 4

Nebmaatre grinned at the good start he gained in the battle. A good deal of his infantry was already defeated, and he had yet to lose a unit. He continued to standby as the Chariots fired, this time more accurately to avoid causing friendly fire, and the cavalry engaged in combat against Ragnar's infantry.

RESOURCES:
Food - 2000
Wood - 1000
Gold - 2000
Pop. - 150/175

Ragnar never considered retreat as the remaining four Ulfsark fell, along with three archers and three berserkers. His remaining archers fired another round as he and his Berserkers took on the enemy front lines.

RESOURCES:
Food - 250
Wood - 150
Gold - 100
Pop. - 41/90
