For future reference when it comes up next: Pumpkin, Blueberry and Tobacco are the new world plants currently in game.

Just let jorb hate the irish guys.

I think you guys are missing the point that its jorb's image of the setting. Doesn't matter historically if certain crops would be relevant or no.

Is certainly not a New World crop. By blueberry I mean this, the right and proper blueberry.

I stand corrected. I'd never heard of that type of blueberry before! I'd excluded like 4 other things I already knew had re-used naming conventions from old to new world too :<

There's a pre-conquest German town called Blueberry Hill (Heidelberg). It's definitely old world :D

Can we cook some ergot infested barley and gift to our rivals and watch them get sick and fell, and then raid their villages when they are unconscious?
