Why don't we have...

Bacon.

A flat rock on some hot coals, add butter and then pigs meat. Tada, you have bacon. And you can add it to eggs to get bacon and eggs. How can we even call ourselfs a civilization if we don't even have bacon.

It's a crime against humanity. Fix this Jason. And I want coffee. Some people play this game in the morning, but we don't have coffee. We are nothing more then barbarians without coffee.

Re: Why don't we have...

I thought about this, and I don't think I want bacon.  More foods that require a domestic boar to make, doesn't sound all that great.

Sacrifices are necessary, if it means we get bacon.
 
Blood for the blood god.  Skulls for the skull throne!

...

Also, we need skull thrones.   Just saying.

Re: Why don't we have...

Why don't we have each ethnicity be able to domesticate only one specific animal type.  Then when you are thirsty for milk, you can jog over the the "nearby" white village for some.  Want some mutton based products?  Then clearly you need to visit the highlands and find some of them ginger shepherds.  Hankering for some carnitas to go with some huevos?  You get the idea.

This could be the greatest "walking sim" ever!  Forget that other guy's game...

Things are kind of strange when you think about it.  Jason has said that he doesn't want people wandering around.  He did the iron change, as I understand it, because he wanted more control of how iron worked, and so people wouldn't spend time wandering about for iron.  Expert waystones give you the location of other races by who knows what magic?  So, wouldn't it make sense to have rather simply and easily constructed teleportation devices (which don't cost something like oil) to have one person in one location teleport to another location where an expert or "expert" may be?  It's not like planes don't already exist which can teleport.  It's just that cost kero, a bunch of iron, and navigating with them isn't easy if multiple landing pads existed.  But, teleportation is and has been a part of the OHOL world for a long time, so why not just have that easier, so the "walking simulator" stuff goes down the drain.

But it would be a great teaching opportunity. A pen full of boars. You dare your child to go in. Child goes in, child dies. It's the circle of darwin. Tough love. We'll eat bacon afterwarts in memory of the dumb ones lost.

Think of it as a coming of age ritual.   You must survival the boar pit to become an adult.

Teaching your child that you're a jerk perhaps.

That is hardly a jerk move. If I wanted to be a jerk I would suggest a large stretched out pen filled with boars and a gate on either side so we could forcefully let the bb's race against eachother to the oter side. The winner gets to live. The loser dies or has to race again against the next bb. We could gamble on who wins. Bacon and games, that is all we need for a succesfull society. It would make the next noobapocalypse so much more entertaining.

Both are jerk moves.  Don't throw your children in harms way.  Also, daring your child to go into a pit with domestic boars, and them doing so and dying, wouldn't be good for *your* gene score.

Don't worry, no virtual bb's where harmed in the making of this joke. You're adorable when you take things to serious. That's what I love about you.
