Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Cretaceous-2 was originally classified as a myth parallel since it contains primitive hunter gatherer humans in what would otherwise be the Cretaceous, but further investigation has revealed that that the ancestors of the humans were a reality displaced ship of colonists en route to the American colonies, possibly from Homeline itself.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Valid point. Triceratops leather boots are fashionable in certain quarters.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Do these people need to be rescued? Or is it the dinosaurs who need rescue? Or what?
Do they domesticate small dinosaurs? |

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Why aren't they? There are multiple dino-worlds, and even just one would be more than enough to supply niche Homeline products.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
I like the idea of domesticated small dinosaurs :). Some of the larger dinosaurs could also be domesticated if captured young (or if hatched from a stolen egg). Imagine a T-Rex raised from an egg and used for hunting very large game.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Most mammals can't bet tamed. The smartest non-avian dinosaurs were cognitively on par with ostriches... I'm doubtful many if any could be domesticated.
But weirder things have happened in reality, I guess.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
Be interested to know how you intuited that from fossils, considering that corvids have tool use despite having tiny brains.

Re: [IW] Ordinary Worlds with valuables!
I did say, "non-avian dinosaurs".
I would like to see your evidence that they were unusually intelligent for having tiny underdeveloped brains. It's not impossible, but being a rather unlikely state, I think the onus of proof lies on your side more than mine. I want to make it clear that I'm not of the old school extreme of thinking they were walking meat with the smarts of a hungry rock. Crocodilians are quite individual, but they aren't on par with mice, for example.
