I pretty much agree with everything you said but this. You realize venison is deer meat, right? Because I'll bet they don't eat a significant portion of that at this point. I assume you were referring to veal and beef?
No. Just.... no.Anime hair colors and styles?

Brighter clothing. Most people at this time would likely be wearing drag greys and browns, the Ymaryn would likely be able to dye their better clothes at least a little bit. Leading to a brighter, more relatively wealthy and exotic appearance.Anime hair colors and styles?

And thus we see the reason the Nomads want to raid us. They're like a three year old boy pulling their crushes hair.In all honesty the Ymarym are probably known for their beauty.
The Ymaryn do not have malnourished people like other Kingdoms, and they are known for working hard, leading to healthy fit bodies. This is only compacted by our people's awesome diets (venison FTW) and their advanced health services, which would lead to relatively smooth and healthy skin.
Our massive forests would most likely lead to a paler skin tone than the other Kingdoms we know of right now, something that is only reinforced by our valley and hills, which add extra shade and protection from the sun leading to a lighter skin tone.
Something you guys also haven't factored into the people's appearance is the affect of dyes.
The Ymaryn are the main source of the dye trade in this region of the world, that means that it's likely more common and cheaper amongst our people. This combines with the fact metal and hygiene awareness is more common leading to more 'managed' hair styles, to give our people a relatively striking appearance to the common foreigner.
They would see this richly dressed, well groomed, cleaned person. Someone who looks extremely healthy and with the fit body of a near noble, with pale smooth skin.
Overall we look goooooood.
Just with more rapine and blood and mass death.

You know aside from salt we do not really have any other spices I wonder what other spices we have in our forests that we do not bother to cultivate we should have truffles, but what else hmm.

Okay, let's ask about the neighboring civilizations. What are they like from the ground level? What would be a Ymaryn tourist's impression of them?

Actually, distillation was invented by alchemists. Alchohol wasn't the first application.

I strongly prefer this to walling a growing city, so I'll give up on Enforce for now.

Continuing the dogpile for humor!Academia Nut's getting dogpiled!

@Academia Nut what set of real life music does Ymaryn music most closely resemble? What are our most common instruments?
Do the Ymaryn apply color to any structural or walling parts of their homes? If so, how?
Starting off on the other civs!
What does a Highlander look like appearance wise? Dark skinned, long or short hair, common eye colors, that sorta thing. Do our traders note any significant differences in appearance as they move about their lands?
Same for the Xohyssiri, the Thunder Speakers, The Thunder Horse, The Nomads, the Hathatyn, the Metal Workers, and the Far East Nomads who drove that Caravan to us. What do all of these people look like?

Which we can use when we write Omakes for the Omake throne. Omakon-chan likes having detail for her throne.
That higher alcohol content was mostly a luxury wine that was stored for a long time in barrels (where the water slowly evaporated and concentrated the alcohol) or where the grapes were dried on straw mats in the sun to get more sugar. It's not quite practical for mass usage. Even today it's fairly expensive.
Because of opportunity costs. Sure, wine is great. But it isn't something that makes or breaks a civilization. All the things wine is great for can done by other alcoholic beverages.
I'd rather expand the forests, trails, ships and so on than have extra booze that we can just import.

You're vastly undervaluing wine as a commodity. It was one of the chief trade goods of the ancient world, and high quality wines were (and are) extremely valuable. It isn't valued as a booze either, really, wine is how people all over the world stored 'drinking water' for long trips. Skins and what it are useful, but he water goes bad and gets contaminated. Wine does not, and more importantly, it tastes good.
If I say the word 'wine,' what do you think of? Grapes, France, California? That's the other reason. Wine, especially good wine, is a mark of prestige and sophistication. The quality of the wine reflects the quality of the society.
No. It isn't 'just another booze' and it wouldn't have its own option if it was.
