Oh bloody hell it took them long enough but experimental build revision 31C is finally up. Since it adds ammo I will need to restart. Expect an update today.

NEW ANTIPODIA II:
The bravery of men in imperial uniforms and the frontier.
Day 1
I began my duties by ordering the useless gits to chop down some trees and gather the local fungus.
Luckily they soon discovered a herd of Aurochs. I told the brave imperial men of the army to hunt these beasts so that we may feast on their juicy flesh. Spare no bullets lads!
Yeah, they finally added ammo.
Cog save us! We have encountered a most vile creature, a man-shaped fish. Luckily this hideous foul thing has been quickly dispatched by our brave soldiers.
They also added coffins. As if I would need those considering how rampant cannibalistic disposal of corpses is present in the game.
Day 2
The proles start tilting the fields so that we may sustain ourselves on precious gluten-rich wheat and pumpkins.
Also they added notifications in the event log so that you know what you picked.
Day 3
An attack arrived. It seems these fishpeople are able to wield crude and no doubt equally cruel and uncivilized weapons.
Oh, forgot to add, they changed how building buildings works now. You place a foundation and the build an empty building. Modules, such as doors or ovens or work tables, are placed from the module menu. This finally allows you to upgrade workshops over time.
Also it seems more prestige=more supplies. At least that is what the even log message implies. And I no longer need to click the fishpeople raid event to see how many are coming.
Cog damn it all! One of our soldiers was murdered by the vile person and his body butchered and eaten!
Another soldier has been chased by a rampaging auroch. Why don't any of them stand and fight? Have I been given command of a squad of cravens?
Herd animals now fight back when you try to hunt them. Also they did some changes in the morale system and the result is, well, silly.
Basically a single soldier will never fight alone in this build. They made soldiers consider factors such as closeness to civilization, their own HP and a few other things. This needs tweaking badly as you will see soon enough.
Well, the aurochs got him. Koowardly Kraven Kolony update.
Day 4
At least the ministry is sending me more immigrants to fill all these casualties. Hopefully this lot will be braver than the last.
Or not.
Fishpeople chase down even our overseers before devouring them. These soldiers are utterly useless.
I am surrounded by cretins and cravens!
Day 5
Meanwhile more and more fishpeople gather in the surrounding wilderness. I fear we may not survive much longer.
The fishy fiends chase my colonists into the sea where they fed on their flesh in some foul feast.
Nobody is safe, even far inland. One by one, we keep losing men and women, while the fishpeople grow in strength.
Day 6
The hunt continues, more men die. Despite arms drops and the forming of new militia squads the fishpeople kill us as they please, as cowardice renders everyone unable to fight back...
Militiamen rather till the soil than fight against the fishpeople attacking them
Shit needs fixing.
More and more fishpeople arrive, we are utterly besieged, beyond any hope of relief.
Day 8
Ia Ia, I want to be eaten first. Spare me this suffering Dark One.
Day 9
The killing continues. I must be patient for my turn to be devoured.
None fight back, they embrace Quaggaroths gift.
It is done. I feel his tentacles. It is heaven.
Well, they need to fix this in the next experimental build revision. Didn't get to use landmines or see other fun things.

Okay, that was just hilariously bad.
Is that Ia Ia schtick from the game?

Rejoice! Quaggaroth the Holy Cog brings us Revision 31D a.k.a. the experimental branch hotfix.
Expect an update some time this week.

Let us then proceed to bump this thread to page 6 
Tally ho!
Toodle pip!
Good show!
I count at least fifteen more monocles needed. Do lend a hand, will you?
:mrfussy:
This is the last time I expect constructive action from a Stahlmarkian.
Lassen Sie uns Pickelhauben und Ordnung zu bringen, um den wilden Wildnis in Clockwork Empires! (Und von Fischenmenschen gefressen werden)

New Antipodia III:
Murdercults, dark energies, altar architecture and [REDACTED] with a tint of Dodo.
Day 1
Supplied with enough bricks, sausages and landmines to found a new colony I order the colonists to erect my first workshop, a sawmill.
Well, they changed the construction interface slightly. Modules are now assigned to workshop filters.
While many of the common folk begin mingling and befriend one another, within the confines of their class and station as is right an proper, a most hideous fishperson tries to savage our brave imperial soldiers. He is quickly bested by musket fire.
Day 2
Having deforested the local surroundings along with foraging anything edible in the vicinity, a new farming field has been ploughed.
Another field followed, as well as a kitchen fit of a proper colony. New immigrants arrived allowing my colony to grow strong and prosper.
Day 3
I have a heard a most peculiar sound, chanting mixed with the sounds of construction somewhere in the nearby wilderness. Also the gurgling of fishpeople...
Note the notification in the event log. Vile cultists are constructing an altar! Using my building materials at that!
It seems somebody has been enamoured by new found religious fervour.
Well, they finally fixed altar construction. Or tweaked it.
Day 4
The kitchen and fields are up and running as more immigrants arrive. Soon the entire ministry will envy my settlement! Maybe there even will be photographs of me in the papers!
Between acts of random hostility from fishpeople I have noticed that more and more construction materials are going missing...
Day 5
More construction materials arrive from the Home Counties as well as more colonists! Praise the Holy Cog! Construction of simple housing begins as well.
Day 6
Screams of horror and shock filled the settlement today. Something happened to one of our overseers by the name of Stanley Cogwright. Something wicked this way comes...
Stanley turned into... something... something not quite human I believe.
And that seems to be [REDACTED]. Though granted I didn't catch it attacking anything because it was behind the walls of the kitchen. Also it may have gotten stuck there due to pathfinding issues or something. Here's hoping we see it again and it does some damage.
Day 7
Another fishpeople attack, but this one has shown something new. Soldiers can now pick up and use fishpeople guns. I hope this causes a sanity loss.
All the recent fishpeople harassment has delayed the erection of a ceramics workshop. How droll.
The fishpeople have killed two people during their raid. A most sad tragedy.
Day 8
Our naturalist has become quite fond of the Dodo, a most tasty bird. We will hunt these creatures. After all there is plenty of them, it is not like their numbers will be exhausted and the bird will go extinct.
A new altar type! Oh, and somebody is going on a murderous rampage.
The ruinous powers of Quaggaroth have provided the cultist with an ornate dagger marked with ichtious symbolism. Also looks like one of the writers is dyslexic or uses too many automated spell-checkers.
Day 9
Murderous cultists abound! The brave troops deliver frontier justice swiftly, before these dagger-wielding fiends kill anyone.
Nine fishpeople.
Day 10
Cog save us! The troops are utterly swarmed by the fishpeople raiding party, one soldier falls.
Ammo shortages and sheer enemy numbers make fighting back difficult.
Many die in the madness. I try to rally a new militia, but I fear it may be too late.
Eventually, after many soldiers die, the conscripts fend off most of the fishy menace.
Also there was a supply drop and I went with "GUNS, GUNS, FUCKING GUNS!".
Day 11
However some still roam about, the militia hunts them down.
To be continued...
Well, that's that for now. Expect more possibly over the weekend. This revision is pretty good. No crashes, murdercults fixed, military jobs fixed, fishpeople are pretty tough.
