[@Raylah] Maybe so, but every human alive right now comes from the womb of a single mother, our ancestral "Eve". So give or take 3-4 mates (('m just compeltely guessing) for said human ancestor, that's about 5 people whose genetic codes we share to one extent. And at leats one of them is an incredibly prominent one as it was the only female gene in that. Honestly, 12 people should be more than enough for a wide variety of genetic materials, as long as you doN't shy away from poligamy :lol

I dont want to get into meaningless debates, but this is actually not true. It is true that all life on Earth does have origin in Africa, and it has been proven by genetic tests that it originates from one migration wave. But that was a wave of many people, not just one couple, or even one woman with multiple partners. Also it has been calculated (for space colonization purposes), that a minimal amount of people to start a healthy population is around 160. With strict social engineering you could get to about 80, but not lower.
But it doesnt really matter, since we have ant people and moth people, I think it is safe to omit this part of science xD.

What I wanted to ask about is how long the turns are going to be? Because if the turn took lets say one year (I think you said somewhere there should not be any two-year journeys in one turn, so I am just guessing), it would still take dozens of turns to pass several generations. Even if the species had shorter lifespans and matured at a very young age, it would take a long time to grow the population enough to be able to utilize new technologies.

Also while I like the idea of the blind map, I think in this particular case it might cause some problems. Lets say I have a race of frog people who live on floating lilipads and I pick a spot in the lake for them. And you tell me "yea that lake is in super high altitude, so it is actually frozen most of the year and also there are some poisonous elements in the water thanks to a nearby volcano". That just wouldnt work. At this point in history, the enviroment shapes the life, not the other way around, and if the species is not able to survive in their enviroment, they either die out or move somewhere else, if such location exists. If I understand the premise correctly, the species didnt just magically suddenly appeared there, they evolved in that spot.

All that saying, I would love to join, so here are my frog people living on floating lilipads :D.

[hider=R'Bani]
[b]RACE NAME:[/b] R'Bani
[b]RACE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:[/b]
The R'Bani are rather short (only about 4-5 feet) species who resemble frogs. They are amphibian and can breathe both outside and under water. They are cold-blooded and prefer warmer climates, in cold their metabolism slows to a point where they go to hibernation. They cannot survive in salt water.
Their lifespan is rather short, only about 30-40 years. The females lay several eggs, attaching them to the bottom side of the floating settlements. Multiple males dive to the eggs and attempt to fertilize them. Even in ideal conditions only around two thirds of the eggs hatch, releasing tadpoles into water, where they live for several months.
They are not very strong physically, but have other defensive mechanisms. While in danger, their skin emits a poison that is strongly hallucinogenic to other species, some smaller predators can even be killed by coming into contact with it.

[b]POPULATION:[/b] 12
[b]RACE BEHAVIOUR:[/b] 
The R'Bani are peaceful people, deeply focused on family. If a danger arises, they prefer to run rather than fight, and use their brains to solve problems rather than brute force. Unlike other cold-blooded species they actually care for their young, protecting them until they are ready to climb out of the water.
The species lives on various debree floating in the lake - most of the time it is pieces of wood or plants intertwined with eatch other to form simple rafts. On these rafts they build primitive dens using plants and mud.
