This game is clearly broken and unbalanced. The tech tree is borked. They skipped about 4000 years of research, jumping the bronze age straight into iron smelting.

having the wolf straight up talk to Africa kind of broke my immersion

 

[Jachinz]

Africa will return stronger and better than before

@Crookshanks

Admittedly it takes this even DEEPER into the fantasy realm, but whatever, man. Magical time travel adventure with cute cavewaifu. Let the animals talk.

 

[kontorru]

Look, pet mammoth is stupid but after this chapter there is no way I would not want to see Africa again

 

[Crookshanks]

@Rupopo ill allow it this time, but if Africa turns into a loli i reserve the right to complain

 

[Tug70074]

Africa will grow and grow only to be killed by Akuu, the Cursed Child.

 

[sterven]

nooo the war mammoth. I have a sinking suspision he's gonna die.

Well, animals CAN communicate between themselves even between species so the autor may have written the lines so we could understand it was a talk and not just wolf going betrayal or jealous. Dogs know their place and unless a human allows in front of them, another creature, they hesitate to welcome it even if it's a puppy or one of their siblings but due to protective barks sound similar to wrathful barks, the "translation" was necessary to understand the context. HOWEVER not all dogs do what Wolf did, help the sad mammoth instead of just telling him to leave @Crookshanks

 

[Amazing_Retard]

Oh boy, that animal talk is way too hilarious.

 

[criver]

Elementary school writing. The author outdoes my expectations every time.

 

[Crookshanks]

@CriszaledexAlterB i honestly think it would have been preferable to have the wolf just bark at Africa to scare him away. it would have taken some subtle art and panel work but the effect would have been less jarring than coherent species to species speech imo. i see what you mean tho, having them talk was probably the simplest way to handle it

 

[Riger]

Seriously. Those two fit in so well compared to the rest.

 

[Fuko]

Elephants we know today used to be domesticated mammoths. They were called Africa.
Thousands of years ago they were like dogs. But due to declining interest. Humans stopped adopting them. Afterwards they went feral.
Thus they are feral domesticated mammoths.

[Nutfiend]

[Talismaster]

Science lesson?

Iron was revolutionary because to make Bronze, you needed to mix tin and copper, and neither seemed to have deposits near each other, making trade, or war and occupation necessary to obtain a steady supply. Iirc, bronze swords can’t exist past a certain length, or they become fragile.

Iron, on the other hand, had a much higher melting point, making it hard to melt and harder to purify iirc. Still, you only needed just the iron. You could make iron alloys or steel or whatnot to make something better but that’s not the point.

Edit: All of Japan’s iron deposits were mostly low quality. Additionally, they didn’t have the technology to properly melt the iron and purify it. This is why they had to come up with the risky “folded 1000 times” method, that can potentially beat too much carbon (or something) out of the metal and end up making the end result brittle anyway.
