We first became aware of the Biwvfpik in 5440. They inhabit the frigid planet Pibwi in the Xixwo system. They are wise, sedentary, and proud.
The Biwvfpik have begun to cultivate crops. They are especially fond of a kind of tough seaweed known as bipwi that grows well in the dense forests of Pibwi.
The Biwvfpik have learned how to catch water-dwelling creatures such as the pipwi, which is now an important part of the Biwvfpik diet.
The Biwvfpik have developed a simple system of writing, which they use primarily for record-keeping.
The Biwvfpik have domesticated a species of small scaly creatures. The pets assist their Biwvfpik owners with hunting in exchange for food and shelter.
The Biwvfpik make widespread use of stone tools in a variety of contexts, especially when hunting the wild biwcfpoc.
In 5572, a rapidly growing religion known as Pixwi became the official religion of the largest Biwvfpik state. Adherents of Pixwi wear distinctive colorful clothing to mark themselves as believers.
The Biwvfpik have begun to construct permanent dwellings and other structures. They make especially extensive use of marble as a building material.
The Biwvfpik have mastered the control of fire. They use it to cook their food, and to light their villages at night.
The Biwvfpik have discovered how to forge molten metal into jewelry, tools, weapons, and armor.
The Biwvfpik have built elaborate pipe and sewer systems to supply their larger settlements, such as Pipwo, with fresh water and a hygenic means of waste disposal.
In 5642, many of the disparate Biwvfpik villages were united under a single banner by an individual known as Pixwi the Conqueror. The city of Pipwo has been named the capital of the resulting empire, which rules over approximately 19% of the entire Biwvfpik population. Unusually for the Biwvfpik, it is governed by a hereditary monarch.
The Biwvfpik have begun to watch the skies and recognize patterns in the movements of stars, which they use to navigate over great distances and keep track of time.

The Biwvfpik have learned how to build ships and sail them across the oceans of Pibwi to explore and trade over increasingly greater distances.
The Biwvfpik have begun to make use of more sophisticated construction techniques, relying on sturdy structural elements such as arches and buttresses to support larger and larger buildings.
The Biwvfpik have developed a simple printing press, and mass-produced versions of important texts have begun to circulate widely throughout the world. Serial fiction is especially popular.
In their efforts to understand the motion of planets in the sky, free-falling bodies, and projectiles, the Biwvfpik have developed a new branch of mathematics which is immediately recognizable as calculus.
The Biwvfpik have begun to construct wind and water mills, which redirect the forces of the natural world to perform repetitive mechanical tasks such as grinding grain and pumping water.
In 5800, the Biwvfpik population reached 25 million individuals. Many of these live within permanent cities, the largest of which is known as Pipwo and has a population of 30,000.
Through systematic observation and categorization of the various living things on Pibwi, the Biwvfpik have begun to develop a more sophisticated understanding of biology. Some theorists have even put forth the idea that dramatically different-looking organisms, such as the biwcfpoc and the pipwi, may in fact be descended from a single common ancestor.
Due to its role as the birthplace of several major Biwvfpik religions, including the especially prominent Pixwi faith, the city of Pipwo is regarded by many of the Biwvfpik as a holy site. Leaders from all around the world travel to the city in order to curry favor with the leaders of their people's religion of choice.
Although initially controversial, the hypothesis that diseases are caused by microorganisms has begun to catch on among the Biwvfpik, leading to the widespread adoption of public health policies which have greatly reduced the spread of disease.
The Biwvfpik have successfully tamed electricity, and are now beginning to deploy it throughout society. Electric lights are widespread, electric motors are used to drive factories, and the growing need for electric power has led to the construction of power plants near every major center of Biwvfpik population.
The Biwvfpik have developed a practical and cost-effective steam engine, which can be fueled with wood or coal.
The Biwvfpik have developed flying machines which can carry them into the skies above Pibwi.
The Biwvfpik have arrived at a sophisticated understanding of genetics, which has enabled them to craft new forms of life by deliberately modifying the genes of existing organisms.
With the development of the transistor, the Biwvfpik have begun to construct more sophisticated electronic circuits.
The Biwvfpik have begun harnessing the power of electricity to send messages across very great distances with unprecedented speed. Due to the overhead of encoding and decoding messages, long-distance communication remains far from instantaneous, but it is now possible for individuals on opposite sides of Pibwi to exchange several messages over the course of a single day.
The Biwvfpik have begun to build general-purpose programmable computers.
The Biwvfpik have discovered a way to manufacture gunpowder, which they primarily use in warfare.
The Biwvfpik have begun to develop rockets.
The Biwvfpik have discovered that electromagnetic waves may be used to transmit information, enabling the development and widespread deployment of media for audiovisual broadcasting.
The Biwvfpik have developed an accurate model of the internal structure of the atom, which has also enabled them to understand the phenomenon of radioactivity.
The Biwvfpik have taken their first tentative steps into space, launching craft capable of supporting several individuals into orbit around Pibwi before retrieving them safely.
The Biwvfpik have begun to connect their computers into a single vast network, enabling communication and collaboration on a truly global scale.
The Biwvfpik have developed a form of artificial general intelligence which rivals many of their own intellectual capabilities.
The Biwvfpik have begun to understand quantum physics.
The Biwvfpik have begun to experiment with the use of "intelligent materials", in the form of swarms of programmable nanobots.
The Biwvfpik have constructed their first cost-effective quantum computers, dramatically improving their collective ability to perform certain types of calculation.
Through their investigations of quantum phenomena, the Biwvfpik have discovered a means of sending and receiving messages which travel at speeds exceeding that of light itself.
The Biwvfpik have begun to establish permanent colonies on worlds other than Pibwi. Although still largely unable to travel outside of the Xixwo system, the distribution of Biwvfpik civilization across multiple worlds greatly reduces the risk that they will collapse due to any crisis of merely planetary scale.
The Biwvfpik have successfully tested their first faster-than-light starship. No longer are they trapped within the gravity well of the Xixwo system: they are now free to take their place alongside us as fellow wanderers among the stars.

so. ive been playing this game futilely for years now. really enjoying it, though. learning what i think are lessons about perseverance and loneliness, connection and space. and i get on here to show my friends about how hard it is to get very far in this game. we were having a discussions about the fermi paradox, and i wanted to show off one of the many ways a civilization can die abruptly.
it was the whole point of me opening the game today.
R.I.P the Høvsnøl, my first civilization to stave off nuclear armageddon for long enough to establish a space colony, only to be wiped out by a rogue swarm of self-replicating nanites, just as they were about to discover quantum computing😔😔
Okay, but all jokes aside, this is a super fun game, simple but brilliantly executed! Will definitely be returning to it to see if I can get any civilization to achieve a "win" state!😉

The Xujmxe have discovered a way to manufacture gunpowder, which they primarily use for explosive mining.
The Xujmxe have begun to develop rockets.
The Xujmxe have developed flying machines which can carry them into the skies above Xejmce.
The Xujmxe have begun harnessing the power of electricity to send messages across very great distances with unprecedented speed.

The Xujmxe have arrived at a sophisticated understanding of genetics, which has enabled them to craft new forms of life by deliberately modifying the genes of existing organisms.
In 3349, an emerging religion known as Yejmce was declared the official religion of the largest Xujmxe state. Adherents of Yejmce wear simple black coats to mark themselves as believers.
The Xujmxe have taken their first tentative steps into space, launching craft capable of supporting several individuals into orbit around Xejmce before retrieving them safely.
The Xujmxe have begun to connect their computers into a single vast network, enabling communication and collaboration on a truly global scale.
The Xujmxe have developed an accurate model of the internal structure of the atom, which has also enabled them to understand the phenomenon of radioactivity.

The Xujmxe have begun to understand quantum physics.
The Xujmxe have developed a form of artificial general intelligence which rivals many of their own intellectual capabilities.
The Xujmxe have constructed their first cost-effective quantum computers, dramatically improving their collective ability to perform certain types of calculation.
Through their investigations of quantum phenomena, the Xujmxe have discovered a means of sending and receiving messages which travel at speeds exceeding that of light itself.
In 3422, following decades of negotiation, the various sovereign Xujmxe nations came to an agreement concerning the establishment of a unified planet-wide government for all of the Xujmxe.
The Xujmxe have begun to experiment with the use of "intelligent materials", in the form of swarms of programmable nanobots.
The Xujmxe have begun to establish permanent colonies on worlds other than Xejmce. Although still largely unable to travel outside of the Xujmxu system, the distribution of Xujmxe civilization across multiple worlds greatly reduces the risk that they will collapse due to any crisis of merely planetary scale.
The Xujmxe have successfully tested their first faster-than-light starship. No longer are they trapped within the gravity well of the Xujmxu system: they are now free to take their place alongside us as fellow wanderers among the stars.

so. ive been playing this game futilely for years now. really enjoying it, though. learning what i think are lessons about perseverance and loneliness, connection and space. and i get on here to show my friends about how hard it is to get very far in this game. we were having a discussions about the fermi paradox, and i wanted to show off one of the many ways a civilization can die abruptly.
it was the whole point of me opening the game today.
so.
of course today i won.
I have so many mixed emotions right now.
anyway 10/10 game.
bit hard to see the text
Hint: NEVER get Nano-machines. The likelyness of the civilization living will instantly drop to a 0.0001%.
R.I.P the Høvsnøl, my first civilization to stave off nuclear armageddon for long enough to establish a space colony, only to be wiped out by a rogue swarm of self-replicating nanites, just as they were about to discover quantum computing😔😔
Okay, but all jokes aside, this is a super fun game, simple but brilliantly executed! Will definitely be returning to it to see if I can get any civilization to achieve a "win" state!😉

The Avqa have begun to cultivate crops, including slâdâv, a kind of sour moss that grows well in the soil of Avqa.
The Avqa have begun to construct permanent dwellings and other structures. They make especially extensive use of marble as a building material.
The Avqa have learned how to catch water-dwelling creatures such as the avqa, which is now an important part of the Avqa diet.
The Avqa have mastered the control of fire. They use it to cook their food, and to light their villages at night.
The Avqa have developed a simple system of writing, which they use primarily for record-keeping.
The Avqa have discovered how to forge molten metal into jewelry, tools, weapons, and armor.
The Avqa have begun to watch the skies and recognize patterns in the movements of stars, which they use to navigate over great distances and keep track of time.
In 3709, an emerging religion known as Akxa was declared the official religion of the largest Avqa state. Adherents of Akxa wear striking brown caps to mark themselves as believers.
The Avqa have domesticated a species of small flying creatures. The pets assist their Avqa owners with navigation in exchange for food and shelter.
In 3734, many of the fractious Avqa kingdoms were united under a single banner by an individual known as Âvqa Âkqaâ. The resulting empire has its capital at Slavqav and rules over approximately 17% of the entire Avqa population. Like many other Avqa states, it is governed by a council of elders.
The Avqa have developed a sophisticated understanding of basic mathematics, such as arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.
The Avqa have begun to use lenses and mirrors made from polished crystal, glass, and water to redirect and focus light.
The Avqa have begun to make use of more sophisticated construction techniques, relying on sturdy structural elements such as arches and buttresses to support larger and larger buildings.
The Avqa have developed a simple printing press, and mass-produced versions of important texts have begun to circulate widely throughout the world. Light novels are especially popular.
In their efforts to understand the motion of planets in the sky, free-falling bodies, and projectiles, the Avqa have developed a new branch of mathematics which is immediately recognizable as calculus.
Some of the Avqa have begun to experiment with alchemy, systematically searching for new ways of combining and manipulating ingredients to yield useful chemicals, compounds, and medicines.

The Avqa have learned how to build ships and sail them across the oceans of Avqa to explore and trade over increasingly greater distances.
Through systematic observation and categorization of the various living things on Avqa, the Avqa have begun to develop a more sophisticated understanding of biology. Some theorists have even put forth the idea that dramatically different-looking organisms, such as the sladqad and the avqa, may in fact be descended from a single common ancestor.
The initially controversial hypothesis that diseases can be caused by microorganisms has begun to catch on among the Avqa, leading to the widespread adoption of public health policies which have greatly reduced the spread of disease.
The Avqa have arrived at a sophisticated understanding of genetics, which has enabled them to craft new forms of life by deliberately modifying the genes of existing organisms.
The Avqa have begun to construct wind and water mills, which redirect the forces of the natural world to perform repetitive mechanical tasks such as grinding grain and pumping water.
The Avqa have successfully tamed electricity, and are now beginning to deploy it throughout society. Electric lights are widespread, electric motors are used to drive factories, and the growing need for electric power has led to the construction of power plants near every major center of Avqa population.
The Avqa have developed a practical and cost-effective steam engine, which can be fueled with wood or coal.
The Avqa have begun harnessing the power of electricity to send messages across very great distances with unprecedented speed. Due to the overhead of encoding and decoding messages, long-distance communication remains far from instantaneous, but it is now possible for individuals on opposite sides of Avqa to exchange several messages over the course of a single day.
The Avqa have developed flying machines which can carry them into the skies above Avqa.
The Avqa have developed an accurate model of the internal structure of the atom, which has also enabled them to understand the phenomenon of radioactivity.

The Avqa have begun to build general-purpose programmable computers.
The Avqa have begun to connect their computers into a single vast network, enabling communication and collaboration on a truly global scale.
In 4175, the Avqa successfully detonated their first prototype nuclear weapon. It remains unclear whether the Avqa scientists who worked on the bomb understand the sheer destructive potential of the weapon they have created.
The Avqa have taken their first tentative steps into space, launching craft capable of supporting several individuals into orbit around Avqa before retrieving them safely.
The Avqa have begun to experiment with the use of "intelligent materials", in the form of swarms of programmable nanobots.
The Avqa have begun to establish permanent colonies on worlds other than Avqa. Although still largely unable to travel outside of the Adpa system, the distribution of Avqa civilization across multiple worlds greatly reduces the risk that they will collapse due to any crisis of merely planetary scale.
The Avqa have constructed their first cost-effective quantum computers, dramatically improving their collective ability to perform certain types of calculation.
In 4244, following decades of negotiation, the various sovereign Avqa nations came to an agreement concerning the establishment of a unified planet-wide government for all of the Avqa.
The Avqa have developed a form of artificial general intelligence which rivals many of their own intellectual capabilities.
Through their investigations of quantum phenomena, the Avqa have discovered a means of sending and receiving messages which travel at speeds exceeding that of light itself.
The Avqa have successfully tested their first faster-than-light starship. No longer are they trapped within the gravity well of the Adpa system: they are now free to take their place alongside us as fellow wanderers among the stars.
In 4276, the Avqa joined us.

The Vuvag have built elaborate pipe and sewer systems to supply their larger settlements, such as Kakab, with fresh water and a hygenic means of waste disposal.
The initially controversial hypothesis that diseases are caused by microorganisms has begun to catch on among the Vuvag, leading to the widespread adoption of public health policies which have greatly reduced the spread of disease.
The Vuvag have developed a practical and cost-effective steam engine, which can be fueled with wood or coal.
The Vuvag have discovered a way to manufacture gunpowder, which they primarily use in warfare.
The Vuvag have begun to develop rockets.
The Vuvag have successfully tamed electricity, and are now beginning to deploy it throughout society. Electric lights are widespread, electric motors are used to drive factories, and the growing need for electric power has led to the construction of power plants near every major center of Vuvag population.
In 2728, the Vuvag population reached 25 million individuals. Many of these live within permanent cities, the largest of which is known as Kakab and has a population of 70,000.
Due to its role as the birthplace of several major Vuvag religions, including the especially prominent Vazag faith, the city of Kakab is regarded by many of the Vuvag as a holy site. The high priest of Kakab is considered the de facto leader of the Vazag church as a whole, and pilgrimages to the city are commonplace.
The Vuvag have begun harnessing the power of electricity to send messages across very great distances with unprecedented speed. Due to the overhead of encoding and decoding messages, long-distance communication remains far from instantaneous, but it is now possible for individuals on opposite sides of Vuvub to exchange several messages over the course of a single day.
The Vuvag have developed an accurate model of the internal structure of the atom, which has also enabled them to understand the phenomenon of radioactivity.
With the development of the transistor, the Vuvag have begun to construct more sophisticated electronic circuits.
The Vuvag have begun to build general-purpose programmable computers.
The Vuvag have discovered that electromagnetic waves may be used to transmit information, enabling the development and widespread deployment of media for audiovisual broadcasting.
The Vuvag have developed flying machines which can carry them into the skies above Vuvub.
In 2856, the Vuvag successfully detonated their first prototype nuclear weapon. It remains unclear whether the Vuvag scientists who worked on the bomb understand the sheer destructive potential of the weapon they have created.
In 2860, a single nuclear weapon was deployed in an attack on a medium-sized Vuvag city. The incident did not escalate into a full-scale nuclear war, but the city was almost completely obliterated, resulting in the deaths of some 171,000 Vuvag.
The Vuvag have taken their first tentative steps into space, launching craft capable of supporting several individuals into orbit around Vuvub before retrieving them safely.
The Vuvag have begun to connect their computers into a single vast network, enabling communication and collaboration on a truly global scale.
The Vuvag have begun to understand quantum physics.
The Vuvag have arrived at a sophisticated understanding of genetics, which has enabled them to craft new forms of life by deliberately modifying the genes of existing organisms.
In 2924, following decades of negotiation, the various sovereign Vuvag nations came to an agreement concerning the establishment of a unified planet-wide government for all of the Vuvag.
The Vuvag have constructed their first cost-effective quantum computers, dramatically improving their collective ability to perform certain types of calculation.
The Vuvag have begun to experiment with the use of "intelligent materials", in the form of swarms of programmable nanobots.
The Vuvag have begun to establish permanent colonies on worlds other than Vuvub. Although still largely unable to travel outside of the Sagabka system, the distribution of Vuvag civilization across multiple worlds greatly reduces the risk that they will collapse due to any crisis of merely planetary scale.
The Vuvag have developed a form of artificial general intelligence which rivals many of their own intellectual capabilities.
Through their investigations of quantum phenomena, the Vuvag have discovered a means of sending and receiving messages which travel at speeds exceeding that of light itself.
The Vuvag have successfully tested their first faster-than-light starship. No longer are they trapped within the gravity well of the Sagabka system: they are now free to take their place alongside us as fellow wanderers among the stars.
In 2976, the Vuvag joined us.
