Food of the Factions

<< < (2/3) > >>

Huskarr:
I just checked in the Mann's guide for the new guns and the gas mortar gas was supposed to be a pesticide (for some reason I thought Balloon Gas XD, sorry for telling lies in the PM).

Anywho I think the Chaladonians have many private vegetable and fruit gardens. It's just some feeling I have, so don't actually count on that.

Though they probably have a very fruit and vegetable rich diet. Wether the Chaladonians eat meat is up to debate, but I do think so, as they are amazed by nature and carnivores are a part of that. I don't think that it is daily food for them, but rather a speciality as to not screw with the balance of nature.

Helios.:
the fjord baronies rely on some farming in the lowlands and a lot of fishing in the fjords. we know the fisheries aren't doing well, and they blame the chaledonians for introducing some fish-eating behemoth to the oceans or something. we also know they ahve the only cultivated honey bees. the huge influx of people into the baronies is beginning to pressure the barons which is one of the bigger reasons for their expansion into the lowland areas, putting them in conflict with the other factions.

the yeshans we know grow rice, and have a pretty self sufficient economy, which means i expect some of the poorer people are eating mostly grains and milk and eggs if they are lucky, and the rich have cultivated herds and eat more meat.

the chaledoninas have both advanced agricultural husbandry and methods as well as being uniquely into biological modifications of some kind, so we can assume they have "the good stuff"

arashi live around oases in the desert regions, so they might have a very limited agriculture, but its hard to imagine that anyone could survive that way. more likely they trade advanced archeotech with the arashi for food, thsi might be a political expedient or a yeshan insurance policy against being harassed TOO much

the merchantile guild trades for whatever they can afford, which in some cases is a LOT. the rank and file of tradesmen and low ranking sailors eat simply, while the captains and owners fo the merchant companies i'd imagine eat as well as king gregor ever could

the arashi are a hard one to guess, mainly because we know they by far have the largest and most advanced cache of archeo-tech, bu we dont know what it does... we know they are never happy (closest word in anglean for happy being 'not suffering' we are told) so we can easily imagine they are perennially on the edge of starvation. we know they have some kind of automoaton labor, and we know they can keep their vast subterranian cities warm. we there might be some mushroom farming to be expected, but growwlights would seem unlikely, as if they had enough power they could make enough food to feed everyone, they would be happier, and if they didn't have that much power they wouldn't waste it on a wasteful enterprise like food. therefore we might assume if they grow anything its likely the hardiest of tubers and root vegetables that can grow above-ground in the short grow seasons, and steal/pillage/trade for enough food to not starve to death.

The Mann:
I'm guessing that last one was a typo.

But back to the more important point.

I am now going to rename my Shrike Psychedelic Bird. "It runs on the good stuff."  :o

Skymonger:
I just have this pestering feeling that Anglea has a diet similar to Alaska.

Sub zero fishing, Hunting, importing Veggies and fruit from elsewhere via trade and raids.
But I suppose primarily it be fish and hunting Cold weather creatures as the main source of food if a raid goes badly.

I hear seal jerky isn't too bad...
...can you eat a polar bear though?

Only if he doesn't eat you first.
You can eat a bear, but it's mostly muscles and fat.
If it's a polar bear then there's even a lot more fat.
