We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.
Would you play this? pic.twitter.com/NSyEOoECk4

Wow what a surprise the chick who doesn't get the point of videogames is also a giga shitlib. @MarkRippetoe wonder if she's also going too frick a guy for a good review like a certain other game developer.
that makes no sense for dev resources. we'd rather focus our efforts on the features we actually WANT to add

This is surely how all successful Jewish lives matter games earn money right
Sounds cool, but why no combat? I don't need to be in the heart of the gameplay, but these times were dangerous. Especially if you travelled alone through wilderness

Because sweetie it's made by women who don't play videogames so it's Mongolian Barbie for horse girls not an actual videogame

Which period in Mongolia?
Even Temujin (oh I'm sorry Genghis Khan
I bet I'm the only person who knew that) was captured and taken hostage. His wife was taken hostage and came back pregnant within 9 months so nobody knew if Genghis r*ped her or her captors did.
But even the steppes weren't fully pacified during his lifetime. The next generation maybe things were okay, but by the time of the third generation the cracks were starting to show.
!historychads when was the most peaceful time of the Eurasian steppe? I don't believe the line that "a virgin could cross the length of the Mongol Empire with a pot of gold on her head and never be molested" because I'd make sure she wasn't a virgin. !male feminists

The most peaceful time was probably in the 1950s, when the soviet union, Iran and Afghanistan all had decent governments
Until the 19th century settled empires were unable to project power into the steppe, it took the Qing and Russian empire a ton of organisation and genocide to pacify the region and even then when the xinhai and Russian revolutions erupted central asia was in chaos once more

Yeah the real problem wasn't fighting these people, it was the logistics. You look at how the Americans and Mexicans beat the Apaches, we didn't do it by trying to be better at fighting. We just put a few guys at every source of water within 1000 miles.
