[LT] Brigandine TL question

Well, you can uplift a small area rather easily, but making it "stick" may prove to be harder. That requires an institutional effort on a large scale.

For example, there used to be a line of thoughtthat exploitation of Europe's wilderness depended on a more efficient horse collar, and heavy plows. However, there doesn't appear to be a correlation between heavy plows and the colonization of Europe, and horses were rarely used for plowing, so the horse collar doesn't matter: you use oxen.
