Everything is in the details, you know. Tell me what crops you like, and you might find them.

Would you like an in-depth analysis of why such a request is silly, or would you like me to just request that we look for some kind of easily- and profitably-plantable crop?

Preferably one that could be found in the local environment, but yes. It's lots easier for me if you guys do the thinking.

....if we have marshes, then I'd see if we can find some wild rice or something. More generally though, what GWG said

[WhitiusOpus]

ebbor, just roll for what crops could be in our general environment. Those will most likely be (because of our current crop findings) Wild Rices, Mangoes, Squashes and Gourds, etc.

...Yes to which?

[10ebbor10]

The latter, duh. Your personal food preferences are not that relevant.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Alright.

I would like to suggest that our civilization looks for and domesticates whatever easily- and profitably-growable plants they can locate in their region.

[10ebbor10]

Any specific ideas?

Thanks, that's actual useful information.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'm not sure what area of the world this is supposed to be "like," so I don't know.

Remember: Despite the similarity of the Great Plains, the Fertile Crescent, and parts of South America and Africa, one of those got wheat, one of those got corn, and the other two didn't get any grains. (The Incas didn't live in the plainsy parts of South America.)

[WhitiusOpus]

GWG, you don't need a lesson in agriculture to assume what types of crops grow with Persimmons and Onions. This is characteristic of the "Fertile Crescent", as Persimmons don't grow in very many other areas.

[GreatWyrmGold]

...assuming this was the real world.
Which for all we know it isn't.

Best to be on the safe side, IMHO.

I agree. Did ebbor say he was going to take over, then ditched this? I almost forgot about it, but I want it to live.

I said I might take over, but that there was no guarantee I could do this in a permanent and consequent manner. Situation Turned out to be worse than I expected.
