Ugh comment deleted in-progress

Anyway, just doing a running commentary on your suggestion.

Equipment: Ow. Please not another faction with an OP club, especially another enemy for me. They do get the culture points, so I might convert, but even if I do I want this to at least be somewhat fair. I have some stats suggestions for your items (based on similar items in the mod), but first let me point out a few things: Obsidian can be honed to be effectively many times sharper than steel. There is a source that claims 50-500x, all agree it is at least "many times". The Machuitl (obsidian studded wooden sword of many ancient meso-american cultures) AKA taurethrim sword takes advantage of this, and unlike if it was simply studded with jagged bones, can cut clean through the thickest part of a horse's neck. Bone, wood, and flint, are not on par with obsidian when it comes to sharpness. Obsidian is brittle, however this is countered by being studded in the blade of the sword. Darts should definitely have a higher break chance though. ...yeah, both need work, I'll just give your stuff some ideas here:

Bone Club: 6dam, 100spd, 100rng, 300dur Flint Dagger: 3dam, 150spd, 50rng, 230dur - nerf taur to 180dur Jade Dagger: 4dam, 150spd, 50rng, 400dur Flint Spear: same as current taur spear - taur -> 6.5dam, 150dur, 220rngdam Jade Spear: 7dam, 83spd, 150rng, 100rngspd, 230 rndda, 400dur Bludgeon: 8.5dam, 68spd, 100rng, 1kb, 250dur - buff dunland to similar stats Harpoon: 5dam, 68spd, 150rng, 250 dur - charged attack to increase range up to 250 and kb up to 1 Stone Battle-ax: 8dam, 75spd, 100rng, 300dur Jade Battle-ax: 9dam, 75spd, 100rng, 500dur Jade Champion Club: 10dam, 63spd, 100rng, 550dur, 1kb Blowgun: 200% Ranged Speed, 40% Ranged Damage. Nerf Tauredain darts to have a 75% break chance. Armor: chestplate/leggings are 1-down from tauredain (bronze vs leather? really?), but when in full armor, crocodiles will not attack you unless attacked. Limwaith Draught: ... no. that is blatantly OP, and unfair to the taurethrim. Not only are you able to mass brew it, it gives a 20% damage reduction and 100% attack increase while the second best gives 50% attack and regen. That being athelas. You are proposing something more powerful than the brew of life itself, and you want it to be dirt cheap. I'll say fine if you make it only purchaseable from limwaith shamans/witchdoctors, and so that it only gives the resistance, perhaps with some knockback resistance, and probably an effect barring strength/speed to prevent OP stacking in PvP. Also, jungle remedy could be open to limwaith as well.

paddle: Rolling pin stats (except for the kb), if held while boating, go at 150% speed, and slowly damage paddle

Hollow Gourd: Not sure if you've heard of this, but some ancient meso-american tribes (incan?) would get gourds filled with wasps, seal them off, then throw them at enemies. My suggestion is that you should be able to place these under leaves, and eventually they would turn into "wasp gourd" or "midge gourd" you would RClick with another hollow gourd (sealing it off) to get the item. You would then be able to throw it, spawning 2-5 of the proper entity on impact.

Pot: I think this would make more sense as a bucket style item (can't forge iron, plus its larger than most drinking vessels) with a pot of poison being able to craft 8 poison darts instead of 4, and requiring twice as many wildberries to make.

Wood bucket: oh. um... remove this and just have the pot? Alternatively this could be limwaith specific as a cheaper version of the pot for water/milk (no poison)

Limwaith Brawler: um... you never really tell us what these are. Are they a militia with perm draught effects?

Weapon Crafter: So... kinda side-track. Brawler armor is in water-ruins, not traded by this guy, right? I don't think selling elite armor would work too well considering tauredain need to find 3 or 4 temples for their version.

Gatherer: also sells wasp gourds, and buys hollow ones.

Crocodile: already in mod, it does adjust drops though, so not sure how to do that.

Tuatara: tamed by fish/eggs, cosmetic pet of the limwaith

Everything else looks great. Perhaps rename the shaman to "witchdoctor" to provide a little more difference from taurethrim.

yeah... creative tribal juices flowing... thanks >:). You can expect a suggestion with culture upgrade for taurewaith soon.
