Bow power isn't everything. A bow lighter than the-strongest-we-can-pull gives a higher rate of fire and lets us aim more easily.

According to my back-of-the-envelope calculations the solid bronze arrows do mach 1.5 and hit like a 50mm cannon shell. The wooden arrows are presumably fired at partial draw to prevent them exploding.

ChaseSP posted:Also bronze is forged, instead of casted like in real life IRL bronze weapons were cast and then work-hardened by hammering them a lot. Freshly-cast bronze is too soft/ductile to hold a decent edge. (But bronze that's been worked too much becomes brittle and you need to melt it again)

A question for the capybaras: Kavodel's industry must consume an immense amount of charcoal. Is it mostly imported, or have our citizens grown bold enough to set up charcoal-burning camps in nearby forests?

As I understand it when Question Time begins Enkidel enters a quantum superposition, in which he both asks and doesn't ask every question posted in the thread. When the time ends the capybaras collapse the superposition and Enkidel is left with the memory of having asked every question, but everyone else will perceive him to have asked only one or two. This means that there is no reputation impact from asking every NPC 30-40 questions. If however any single question would have a meaningful impact then Diogines will require a minivote / a meaningful amount of write-in support. Such a question is actually asked and is not part of the quantum superposition.

They're working metal over a wood fire? That must be agony. The best method I can come up with would be to build a decent sized fire and let it burn until its down to coals. Use the coals until they burn out. Meanwhile your apprentice/slave is building another large fire out of wood so it can start burning down to coals.

Lead out in cuffs posted:. He just couldn't figure out a means by which a normal soldier could draw the things (the geared crank), and they were useless for Mighty Men (who could draw them), since MM can throw rocks much faster and harder than any crossbow can throw a bolt. Asawheel. Crazycryodude posted:I guess it's just one of those "Ur physics don't work exactly like real physics" things and either wood burns a lot hotter in this universe or ore cooks a lot cooler. I think the air in Ur might have a much higher oxygen content than on Earth. Not just the vigor with which wood burns, but I was reading about a priest sacrificing a cow and he just lay it down on the altar, slit its throat and poured oil on it. This was enough to burn it to ashes and nobody thought that was unusual or a sign of El's interest*. Try that on earth and all you'll achieve is the distressing smell of burnt hair. A high oxygen content would also allow scorpions etc to grow to a larger size. * Other times sacrifices have burnt with great vigour, and that has been noted The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 10:04 on May 31, 2018 |

If 3 years of decreased food production from Tudiya being tuckered out were the result of a tough fight, imagine what it would have been if he'd died. If we hadn't given him our Nephesh in that fight and he ended up dying, well, there's your years of famine. I still think we should build a shitload more granaries.

UppaTree posted:1: Storing enough energy to be comparable with a Blooded archer would require the same exotic materials as a Blooded bow - giant sinews, dragon bones, etc. Bows have to be portable. A fixed weapon could use size as a substitute for exotic materials - make each limb out of an entire tree etc.
