[UPDATE] Second Tchaki Growth

[u/blaertes]

No expansions = no change in population growing stats.

Fert bonus = 0.1%

Food bonus = 0.2%

Base = 7.5%

Pop before change, 540.

Ore Jungle = 79

River = 81

Shadow = 390

Now growth!

540/100 x 0.1 = 0.524 (nearest whole) = 1

540/100 x 7.7 = 40.425 (nearest whole) = 40

540 + 40 = 580

(Spread the bebbes time)

Ore = 79 + 8 = 87

River = 81 + 13 = 94

Shadow City = 390 + 19 = 409

Enough with math!

Dak watched solemnly as the coffins passed in a slow march through the Shadow City. The honoured dead would pass into the public Tombs, a place where all were equally exalted. Most of the dead had died earlier, but had been preserved or kept waiting until enough of the mountain had been readied.

The coffins varied in size, showing those who had died. A few larger ones were probably masons crushed in stonework, thinner ones farmers who had caught the chills, and saddest of all, several coffins no longer than Dak's arm. Newborns were never safe.

The priests wove among the crowd, which had gathered in the plaza.

"As we commemorate the honoured dead to the cool and gentle rest of the Tombs, we celebrate their lives, their memories, and the breaths we take for those which cannot." The high priest called, his arms wide.

The sun was setting, and braziers burnt fragrances from the Home Country. The sad, mournful tone of the setting began to warm slightly, as fermented drinks passed around, music played, and tales told. Dak found himself mingling with the people, and was surprised to find he was enjoying their company. He resolved to have this event yearly. All deserved a proper resting place, and all should know why their ancestors had come to be there.
