    The People had been wanderers for as long as anyone could remember, moving from place to place, living off the lands and never returning to the same location within a generation.

    Such a life style had served the People for countless generations and while the People had not always thrived, they would always survive. It seemed like things would remain the same forever.

    And yet they would not as the world around the People changed and the People would change along with it.

    Living off prey slain and brought by hunters and the fruits and berries brought in by foragers, this way of life would change when the People discovered the ability to grow their own food. Not much food and it would be difficult, but it is enough for the elders of the People to decide that it was time to settle down.

    While it would take time for them to begin growing enough food to sustain the People, the shortage could be made up by the old ways until the new ways were enough.

    Many of the People argued against this change in way of life, seeing no reason for the old ways to replaced with the new. The elders and their supporters pointed out that the People were growing in number and they would soon need a stable source of food in hard times.

    The old ways may have sufficed in lean periods in the past, but should the People fall on hard times in the future, they would be too numerous for the old ways. The young, the old and the sick would certainly die, claimed the elders, there would be too many of them for the old ways to support.

    So while some still grumbled and complained about the changes to what they had known their entire lives, the majority of the People were swayed the arguments of the elders, unwillingly to condemn those in future generations to death even if they would never meet them.

    And as of such, the People decided to settle down, putting up permanent homes and planting their own food to harvest. The old question was where.

    There were three main choices for the People to choose from. They could head up the river or they could head down it while the third choice would be to settle near the forest, away from the river.

    Ultimately, the People made their choice and…

    [] The People headed up the river and settled down in the spot where the river entered a vast and unimaginable amount of water.
    [] The People headed down the river and settled in fertile grasslands where the river split into three directions.
    [] The People moved away from the river and settled down in in the area between the fertile plains and the bountiful forest.

    Since I noticed a lack of civ quests recently, I decided to start my own. Unlike other civ quests, this one won't be in a not!Earth, but set in a world I have made using Hexographer.

    This vote is choosing the starting location of your civ.

    Always wanted to follow a civilization quest from the start.

    River mouth. Excellent trader start, though fishing being easier than farming may warp things a bit.

    [] The People headed down the river and settled in fertile grasslands where the river split into three directions.

    Floodplains. Aka Stone Age Total War as soon as they figure out how to farm. Large spreads of indefensible ground that can feed more people than you can govern effectively for a long while.

    [] The People moved away from the river and settled down in in the area between the fertile plains and the bountiful forest.

    Less effective agricultural land but higher material accessibility means pressure to tech up to find ways to resist raiders from the plains while having fewer dudes.

    I want to turn the whole world into a giant garden, to adopt Agrarian Idyll and Inward Perfection as traits and win. Plus population explosion is great.

    As appealing as the boat memes may be...

    boats...we shall take over the world with boats. Then we shall take the stars with those boats!!!

    the only thing that would be even more awesome is to make LAND BOATS!!! (maybe later when we figure out how to reliably make land battleships a thing!)
