It was supposed to be a routine goodwill trip to Saddle Arabia, but now the ponies of Bronco Company have found themselves framed for burning a town to the ground, and a full blown war isn't far behind...
Wonderful chapter! All of this feels like the calm before the storm and it's wonderful! Question: Militarily, at what stage does the world of this fic is at? Early 19th century, mid 19th century, or late 19th century?
11745033 Ahh, very early in weapons technology, but they probably still have some industrial technology considering they can build and field trains as transports, I'd imagine the coming war is going to kick technological progression into high gear
Are you ever going to give an explanation as to why this version of the royal guard didn’t just curb-stomp all of the threats and problems that came up in the show, or are you just going to give the “it’s an alternate universe, don’t think about it” hand wave? Because in canon the so-called Royal Guard can be distracted by cake and their leaders aren’t much better.

Oh, it's very low tech. Spears and bows; so closer to 11th century, lol.

Yeah, we're going to go ahead and say they gained a few levels of competency between seasons in this instance :P
Otherwise this would probably have been classified as a comedy...
