@Academia Nut how's smallpox in this world? Do the Ymaryn still practice widespread vaccination? I can't recall if this has been answered or not.

Restoration of Monarchy is good for the unification of Ymar, as majority are all monarchies.

It's around, but it is nowhere near as out of control as in our world as cow pox vaccination is around, as is variolation, so it's whole population lethality is a fraction of what it could be.

In general how does our medical knowledge and implementation compare to other civs? I know you've said we lost a lot during the collapse, and so often use variolation rather than full vaccination, but is that relatively standard for the world, or still advanced? Likewise for other medical issues, like the greater sanitation knowledge compared to OTL
What you have to remember is that the wars surrounding the French Revolution and Napoleon nearly bankrupted everyone involved while killing countless young people and wiping out vital infrastructure. And the lessons people took from them generally proved to be devastatingly wrong in whatever war they fought next.

Comparable to the best, but not radically more advanced than most states with a relatively sophisticated bureaucratic and educational apparatus.

Yeah, if the only rations they have are sauerkraut they'll be highly motivated to capture the enemy's baggage train.

Culinary theory of empire: Empires form out of people with crappy food who are motivated to beat up others for their cuisine, and thus subsequently collapse once their soldiers are no longer eating food that makes them angry.

I mean, you joke, but that's pretty much Herodotus' explanation for the Persian Empire's rise and subsequent fall.

That explains why the British were going out en mass and conquering the world.
Is Sketch cuisine as bad as British?

Don't forget Europeans venturing out into the unknown in search of better condiments. And this was when people thought that the ambient heat in the Equatorial regions could cook a man alive.I mean, you joke, but that's pretty much Herodotus' explanation for the Persian Empire's rise and subsequent fall.

@Academia Nut, how does Dominant Paradigm work exactly? Does it represent the double-edged sword of tech boost on 'matching' techs as well as calcified thought processes?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I'm still working out the exact specifics, but right now a lot of the techs are just sort of a list of reminders. To have a somewhat more engaging research system I want to have more interaction there, without having too much unnecessary granularity. So the Dominant Paradigm idea is sort of "Through research, infrastructure development, events, and decisions you will make larger advances that affect wide swaths of a field, without necessarily being everything at once". It's still something I am thinking on in any case.

You do remember that we had Alyxunmyn, who was pretty much explicitly our not!Alexander, right?
No, that was Alyxunmyn's son.
France had two cuisines. First you had rmthe elegant and opulant style favored by tbe nobility and the "take odd cuts of meat and other wierd things and find a way to make something" of the peasantry.
The first one died off with the revolutions. The second turned into the archtypal French food. Tiny plates of wierd meats and foods prepared to perfection.
