It would be extremely generous to call the Liberian colonization scheme "harebrained." To obviate the racial issues that the Slave Power had created for America, a colony in Africa would be established to resettle freed slaves away from white society where blacks could establish their own...

All in good fun. And I should remark, it's a wonderful map aesthetically, would love to see more.

I'm very well aware, was poking fun at how obvious it was

Interesting that the song doesn't really rhyme in Polish, but does in English... 😝

Don't Chile and Patagonia already have guanacos? While I don't they were domesticated in Patagonia, it seems like if pigs reached Patagonia they would reach it as feral animals. So I don't see why it would kick-start domestication, seems like it would just be a new wild protein source.

and what's that one setting that makes it's color go weird instead of being solid black?

Yes, I sae every one I come across.

Like that you're doing this. Historic coastlines should be paid more attention to. Would be neat if you would start doing this in WorldA format, though obviously that's a tremendous pain.

Montreal and Ile d'Orleans = Kaliningrad?

Surely that's the last of the Comancheria

The main story is: Atlanteans use their occupation of their cousins in Meropis, former lords of the continent of Mocosa, to extend the grip of their markets. A revolt by slaves and slave-mercenaries in the collapsing League of 7 Cities, following an ideology marked by a belief in the inevitable...

I'd guess that the main impediment was that they're largely solitary, not especially social animals. That's bad enough for the prospects of domesticating an herbivore, but would make things very difficult indeed for a large dangerous omnivore. The two large dangerous omnivores we've...

Tame or domesticated, I'm not sure I like the idea of ever of getting down to milk a bear... or any other carnivore for that matter. I assume you're already familiar, but I'd recommend reading over DValdron's "Bear Cavalry" to see the prospects of bear domestication.

Obviously I agree with Trey's overall point; there is nothing in extant American Indian folklore that seems to suggest empirical knowledge of some extraordinary ape creature. There's just a bunch of different stories about all sorts of human or humanoid creatures as we find in literally every...
