Hunter-gathering only works as long as you know which local plants are good and which are poison, I'd assume.
They weren't hunter-gatherers, they were pastoral and nomadic. Their diet was a lot of milk and meat.
They even had a fermented milk drink that was highly praised in Marco Polo's book.
What did the horses eat?
Hunter gatherers don't live off of domesticated horses
Mongol hordes do.
Mongol hordes aren't hunter gatherers.
You sure know a lot of facts and logic.
Hunter-gathering? you missed by 4+ish millenniums. These were people who had written laws and express mail relay system across the entire Eurasia.
You can ask locals about that.
The locals…of the territory you just conquered?
Yes.
What are the locals going to do?
Refuse? Ok, then they kill you.
Lie? They force you to eat some.
A-ha.
Do you have actual argument here, or is contentless sneering the extent of your capabilities?
No (thereare5lights made a good point, deflating my sneer) and no (this is self-evident).
