Another long work period trying to hit the deadline, yuck. At least I have 30 pages of fancy to look forward to...
How long until you become a convert to Ymarynian politics and cast a vote?
You would basically be the King to our Valleyhome!
Wow, ManusDomine, how indepth your knowledge has become

How much you want to bet that that is going to be a future decision once others discover horseriding as well? Do we stick to slow and steady or do we breed flaws into warhorses?
That does remind me of the Metal Workers. I wouldn't say no to having her marry their prince to eat them...

Why not both? Have dedicated warhorse lines but breed them out again into a slow pop. And then breed that slow pop. in with the best members.

Speaking as someone who knows @ManusDomine outside SV, he really wants to participate(And really really loves the quest), but as the thread's assigned moderator he can't. Conflict-of-interest rules.

I will refer to it as Lorica squamata - Wikipedia
100 liters is a very large amount to distill in the bronze age however. Assuming you're starting from wine.
Yeah, doing it to see what happens is 100% Lolwyna,
Fulgurites are usually only finger sized.
But generally what we have to go on are:
-Something causing an unusual burn(steam, incendiaries, volatile liquids, caustic liquids)
-Something which can crack or shatter rock or ceramic(explosions, pressure)
Mentioned long before that colonies can have their own provinces.
Can't really be helped, the more intense the selection pressure, the more you have to sacrifice on other qualities to breed your desired qualities in.
Scale mail is scales(aka large sequins) of metal riveted or sewn into a piece of leather. It's a fair bit more protective than leather or wicker armor, but early versions had poor coverage and limited mobility even if it was pretty light.
Chainmail is FAR more advanced, as metal linked into a metallic fabric.
Funny enough our relative isolationism is going to have people see unusual amounts of iron, but not quite enough to know for sure.
I have a feeling that all the cultures around us would be very resistant to the idea of a woman participating in a battle in any form, unlike us. Because of this they'll first have to breed horses strong enough to actually carry a man for them to invent horse riding. We on the other hand are okay with woman being in battle so we don't have to breed our horses bigger, we can just breed them to have more stamina (they'll have to breed for two things, size+stamina. We only have to breed for one). To me this seems like a huge advantage, by the time others breed horses to be big enough that the idea of riding them occurs we'll have already been breeding our warhorses for a while. And seeing as how we're already using woman messengers in battle all it would take is one woman using a bow to defend herself and our generals will start thinking that maybe there are other ways these warrior women can be used.

Pretty sure nomads are pretty good on gender equality. They won't have any problem with women couriers.

Rulwyna isn't even the only courier, right? So, while we probably won't get another hero option unless we get insanely lucky, I think we'll still get later choices to encouragement development in that direction.

The tech is there to stay, so it's bound to be expanded automatically like our prior chariot couriers. I'm more interested in getting riders carrying bow/arrow to rapidly deploy and redeploy with horse speed. (Not horse archers, just archers using horse to move.)
Much less demand on riders and horses = more number.

To...oh durr, yes, I see the problem with reading that right after waking up.
Aren't the nomads into wife raiding?

My understanding is that Nomad thought process is Might = Right.
So no preestablished law/idea to hold anything if there isn't anyone strong enough to hold it up.
If you are strong and is female, no problem.
If you are strong and is male, no problem.
If you are weak and is the 2nd coming of Patrikwos, problem if you can't fight.
Yes, though by their measures of strength being strong AND female is rather unlikely
