It's so easy how is everyone so stupid. I'd invent the train afterward and drive around everyone saying "you're so fucking stupid I'm not even good at this and I did it".

I’m gonna go with the opposite angle to all (correct) comrades about precision, purity of steel and tools. Steam engine doesn’t make sense without vast amounts of raw material, meaning colonies generally. Your window of opportunity is basically Ancient Rome for 200 years, and they didn’t have easy mineable coal nor pure steel available, and then england in 1600.
I would be the absolute best at colonialism in ancient times. No contest. I know where all the best resources are and would invent guns so that I can be responsible for the spice trade, colombian exchange, and land conquest of North America. The Spanish took centuries because they were uneducated.
But you cannot make guns without steel, coming back to furnace issue. Also I sincerely doubt you know how to make saltpeter from bat droppings lol
Do you seriously think I wouldn't invent guano islands and monroe doctrine imperialism to invade those islands? That would be like day 3 while everyone else is busy dying of infections.
Yeah, I do, you even think it’s islands instead of caves and manure latrines. Also you would be just as vulnerable to infections, shoveling shit:)
If I lived in the time of the Black Death, I would simply invent penicillin.
No no, you're just like the entirety of the ancient world. Bat guano means dangerous exposure to airborne plague. Guano islands are what smart guys like me know about. I would have gone to the Tang Dynasty and said "my way is so much better why are you this bad".
