Possible,but most probable is that author of book never hear about them.That is probably why could not be used in her books.

Agree about rifles. why Fergusson rifle was not used in book ? I think,that Naomi Novak simply do not knew about them.They are forgotten weapon,after all.

Really? i read,that they were used by british since 1776 ,and that it cost "only" as much as 5 normal muskets,so there should be more of them. P.S and they were less reliable,too.

If they have problems with reloading,why not use Fergusson rifle? it was costly compared to normal muskets,but they have moneys,right?

Indeed.But there was one country which treated dragons worst - Russia.They treated them like their serfs,which is bloody stupid - becouse average serf could not kill small military unit,dragons could.

Of course not.Byron,and few others ,were Napoleon supporter. But Laurence look like average british gentelman who treat other politely,but still consider all not british gentelman as wogs at best./wog - worthly colonial gentelman.Best what average british could say about people of other...

Racism was norm for every european country except Poland/we have gentry elites who do not care about race - but still turned free white farmers into serfs./. For elites - sailors in RN was from entire world,like @Simonbob said. British elites - for them really anglosaxons were pinacle of...

In 19th century England was ruled by racist fools,and their officers were teached to be ones. But,when he see China,and undarstandt that England would not change,he could go there.Or remain in Australia with chineese waifu/they offered him one when he was there/After defeating Napoleon...

Sorry for mistake.Your Laurance should either be harder on dragons becouse country wont it,or go with dragon case ,and if so go to China,Africa or USA. Book Laurance was shizo in my opinion.

I thing,that your SI should decide what case he is supporting - either remain in China and support dragons,or remain in England and support ruling idiots there.Becouse,unfortunatelly,in this settling they are idiots.

Indeed,even those indians which made longbows made them usually lesser.But 100+lb bow for hunting big game were good idea,when they faced angry bear. Cities of gold - they belivied in stories from tribes which never saw them,not found one and told about that. In case of indian bows,they were...

According to spaniards which go to Florida,it did so.

It was not regular thing - regular was going through mail.Plate happened or not.

Not magical bows - kind of longbows.Magical was arrowheads made from obsidian,becouse it go through steel.

Why should they ? from 18th century almost nobody used armour. And England abadonned archers,althought they were well aware of fact that their archers would massacre any infrantry with muskets and without armour. Why? becouse you need 5 years to train average archer.Musket - one month of...

Not myths,reports of spaniards.Apparently obsidian arrowheads,althought destroyed in process,was still hard enough to go through steel.

Becouse they were no obsidian.And it is fact - when spaniards conqered Florida,obsidian arrowheads fired from longbows used by Creek,Choctaws or Chickaws penetrated breastplates which could stop musket balls./Longbow,A social and military history by Robert Hardy,page 168/

True for most of humanity.But oldest longbows had at least 5000 years,and i read about indian tribe in Mexico which used longbows with obsidian arrowheads capable of killing soidier in mail or even plate. So,smaller dragons would be hunted by them. Result - tribes without good bows would never...

North america - nice idea.I do not though about it.And Novak actually did good job there,becouse indian had dragons,which mean USA do not conqering as much as OTL. So,MC could : 1.Be good brit and do not care about dragons. 2.Made England smarter and treat dragons better. 3.Be canonical MC,love...

So,back to topic.Becouse situation when bad european are bad,andEngland too, @LordsFire could either made England progressive,or made MC go to China,get cute manchu waifu and live happily there. Or made MC more ruthless,and for example let french dragons die.
