So what, exactly, IS our tech level anyway?

This is currently too vague for me to make much sense of. On the one hand, I hearfrom Agent Proto's posts "industrial revolution" and/or "end of industrial revolution". This means basic factories and mass production, probably cars or whatever the logical alternative of cars are still considered in large part a luxury item, large rural areas, the emergence of "pollution", etc.

War equipment under such a level would be VERY primitive planes and tanks, a reliance on rifles, and anything approximating a machine gun pretty much requires either a fixed position or a tripod and crew. (for example)

On the other hand, in the war threads I am seeing things like jets, other more modern aircraft, nuclear weapons, microchip brain implants... I mean, at the end of the industrial revolution, there wouldn't even be vaccum tubes to put in peoples brains.

Not that there is anything inherently wrong with either scenario, I just think some guidlines and limits should be figured out.

(ed. The above reference to aircraft does not inlcude strictly and multi-era fantasy craft like airships.)

We SHOULD be early 1900's, but people keep making stuff up and saying they've invented helicopters and rocket launchers.

*shrug* Maybe I missed BoB or pr00t saying something. I dunno.

Yeah, I'm, annoyed by Carnage's "Nukes" and TT's "Helicopters"

That was for that fake war of yours. It's not official technology.

And yes. We'd be in the early 1900's regarding technology. With the magic, imagine the current tech level to be like that of Final Fantasy VI.

Cool! That means I can make some steam powered monstrosities. Will something based on Magitek be appearing? I think so

Remnant · 12-12-2004, 02:47 AM

Huzzah! My favorite tech level.

Agent Proto · 12-12-2004, 02:53 AM

I think we may end up in the same era for the RP.

I've been reworking the class system because of the tech level. I am probably going to be eliminating some of the older style classes and advancing the tech in some of the classes, probably add some classes that meld magic and technology. I'll post a new list when I'm done in the RP thread.
