Horses

Horses are sometimes considered to be the same race as ponies, but there are several notable differences. Most obviously, horses are much larger in size than ponies and lack cutie marks. In addition, there are only two subgroups, earth horses and unicorns, with no equivalent to pegasi. Horses favour more arid environments, being able to thrive in harsher conditions than ponies.

Racial Technology

Horse racial technology tree does not contain Pegasi Divisions and other pegasus technologies, but otherwise identical to the Pony one.

Earth Pony Tech

Earth Pony Agriculture

• Monthly Population: +15%
• Supply Consumption: -7.5%

Since the very first wandering pony tribes, earth ponies have been the most proficient in growing and cultivating agricultural areas. Modern machinery and crop cultures would drastically increase our food surplus.

Earth Pony Sappers

• Engineer Company:
  • Entrenchment: +100.00%
• Battalion Modifier: Leg Infantry:
  • Entrenchment: +0.10

Owing to their latent connection to the soil, earth ponies are able to dig trenches and build fortifications much faster than other ponies.

Raise This Barn

• Construction Speed: +5.00%
• Free Repair: +15.00%

Where pegasi have cloud structures and unicorns have magic to trivialise construction, earth ponies have had to make do with physical labour, each other, and a good sense of materials. There's no denying that earth ponies are incredibly apt at building strong, sturdy structures at such speeds that put even some unicorns and pegasi to shame. We don't need the comfort of pegasi cloud buildings or the aesthetically complex unicorn edifices, but the reliable, quickly-built blocks and structures of the earth ponies.

Delicious Rations

• Supply Range: +15%

Our soldiers have some of the most demanding jobs in our nation, and their meals must be more than adequate. Field conditions make transporting food and ingredients difficult, seriously limiting how far back supply hubs can be from the frontlines before running into food spoilage issues. Some of our earth pony chefs and cooks have conceived a new methodology (adding copious amounts of sugar) that not only acts as preservative, but also has the added bonus of being delicious!

Earth Pony Mining

• Resource Gain Efficiency: +10%

More earth ponies working in the mines means more resources extracted.

Earthpony Alchemy

• Field Hospital:
  • Trickleback & War Support Protection: +5%
  • Exp. Loss: -10%

Earth ponies are able to grow all kinds of plants, many of which have potential medical applications.

Magic of Industry

• Factory Output: +10%
• Dockyard Output: +10%
• Construction Speed: +5%

Though they lack wings and horns, earth ponies have magic of their own. Their industrial capabilities are unmatched.

Rustic Ingenuity

• Initiative: +12.0%
• Coordination: +5.0%

The notion that earth ponies lack flight and magic makes them inferior is not only idiotic but also naive. Putting aside their inherent strength and attuned connection with the earth, earth ponies have consistently driven technological innovation in pony society. Many tools and vehicles are born from earth pony ingenuity, and it would be remiss of us to ignore this fact. Let us encourage their affinity so that our society can enjoy their achievements.

Resourceful Workers

• Max Factories in a State: +10%
• Lack of Resources Penalty: -15.00%

Long ago, before the time of the windigos, earth ponies were almost always relegated to poor working conditions and were given little to work with. The working conditions may have changed, but earth pony workers' know-how has never gone away. A particularly clever and imaginative earth pony supervisor can do with far less than a unicorn or pegasus, allowing for production to continue mostly unabated even in conditions that unicorns and pegasi would struggle with.
