Why making a difference between stalkers and warriors ?
I wanted to say that stalkers are people who go deep inside the desert. They are able to navigate here, maybe some of them know prewar languages (just to understand what is in the box they found), they have special protection (suits or medication) against radiation ( Admin, do they still need anything like that?).
Warriors are people who know how to use knifes and swords and equipped for war. They know how to organize ambushes, make different traps etc.
We may group them together, if you want. They really have something in common.
For kids, I say it's okay, their training start at ten, but maybe at twelve or fifteen they have some ritual to go through to become a "real soldier", or a grown-up.
During middle ages training of a warrior might start when he is 5-6 y.o. One I’ve seen a battle armor for a 8 y.o. boy in museum. I like your idea about a special ceremony before becoming grown up. Maybe a kind of challenge?
But some women may be sterile. Could they fight too or will they just help raise other women's children?
Maybe they protect others when all men are away? Or a special detachment for them?
For weapons, maybe sometimes they can find a loot of really good pre-war weapons, and why not - some powered exoskeleton?
Because the Collapse took place in the beginning of 21st century and there is no powerful exoskeleton nowadays. Unfortunatelly.
1) Okay, I see what you mean, like nuclear weap-oops. Sounds like this example doesn't work here, tehehe.
I mean if they have a transcontinental nuclear missile (for example) why not to just blow up Minerva’s HQ? And here we are – game over.
2) Yes, okay, but what could come from the desert ? Some mutated animals ? Like giant fennecs ? (okay this last example wasn't serious xD)
I don’t know, just brainstorming. Maybe just wind goes radioactive sand to the north? And in Russia we use an image of fat white polar fox’s coming as a metaphor for very big problems. I like you idea about fennecs.
3) What do you mean by "do not go with scenario"?
Government: No centralized government appears to exist. The Turkmen either form small family groups, or appear to live as solitary nomads.
Maybe some kind of medication against radiations ? Or medical materials to change their DNA even deeper.
Yes, something like that. Or a way to turn the whole world (or nearby territories) into a place, where only Turkmen can survive. But who made it? What for? Why to hide itnot far away from Russia in the middle of nowhere as Dan said?
So, what's the place of religion in their life ?
Just like in the modern world – hope for weak ones.
