[QUOTE="Paladin Dave, post: 67907685, member: 82835"] One thing I'd like to say concerning technology is that the Renaissance MOSTLY happened for nobles and middle-class workers in the cities. In the countrysides, everyone still had to perform their back-breaking duties, and their liege lords got to enjoy a little more. In the earlier years, anyway. Eh... basically, my biggest point is that the Renaissance's focus on art and pleasure rather than warfare and Chivalry, or philosophy and worldliness over faith, takes away from our reserve of knights, wars, and devout Christians in said areas. Another issue to consider is magic's replacement of need for technology. The Elves may not have been high-tech in the Emberian War, but they still gave Ember a run for their money. The oil hoses and ballista pods were the pinnacle of Ember's non-magical technology. The Coil Gun was simply a ramp with magi casting strong attract spells on the gunpowder shells(which, with the new Ember thread in development, could be remedied. The new power could try to ban and destroy the blueprints of Kalt-Hammer and Borkeau's old weapons). The unreleased "Feuer Drache", or Fire Dragon tank would have been a primitave, massive wooden cart, covered in wet hides, filled with archer ports, and with an oil turret, propelled by the recovered crystal from a crashed Flying Ship that Kalt-Hammer's Brute Squad failed to capture. It all either required several strong men to operate, or needed a mage on hand. Either way, its costly to operate, and Kalt-Hammer WAS brilliant in the way of constructing siege machinery, even if that's really the only way he's brilliant. Pretty much, my point is that Ember is indeed the pinnacle of Christian technology, but most of it was KH's attempts to use his small warmage force to give power to his machines, which he hoped could stand up to the magically-imbued, magically shielded, magically BROKEN siege engines.:P And yes, I mean broken in the DnD sense. Other than that, I approve. I just like our heavy armor and weapons to stay up to date, and to somehow keep the tech at a level that crusader and philosopher can coexist just as well as superbly armored knight and berserking barbarian.
