[@Chenzor] Yes and thank you. They arnt nomadic. They just started off that way, as all civilisations were supposed to at some stage according to archaeology. They stopped once they found the permacrops. As for discarding tech I can forget this idea. It just seemed cool like a felix bag of tricks. Instead I suppose they have some high artistry tech for some applications, a bit like traditional dwarf tech but less fire involved and more vines as leaves. The crippling difficulty of their civilisation is that their Male population is hamstrung by "the fever", they either get over it or die or reduce down to a torpid mental state. The men are the artisans and the women are the hunters and farmers and warriors, but they are strongly devided into these casts. They as a civilisation fear the loss of the environment and its many ancestor spirits. They also fear war. They are perhaps not quite as middle of the road as humans, perhaps just to the side. I'll keep working on their fears.
