Considering there hasn't been a single new world discovered, that makes a second stage hard doesn't it...?The intro says we've been fighting over this land, not having found another, and that mystery surrounds it. Sounds early colonialism, tbh. That would mean we're entering the industrial revolution and just beginning colonialism, so not the late 1800's tech we're seeing.

Here's where most of my confusion is coming from. The industrial revolution didn't happen til the new world wasn't new anymore. Plus if we've got steamships(which we should unless airships use sail and muscle power) and airships and what have you I'd imagine some other things are more advanced as well. All of that got me convinced we're going the imperialism route not the colonialism route: at least aesthetically

If we have supposedly managed to get these airships made of metal we would have metal boats, but we don't.

That just seems supremely goofy to me. I would certainly like some hard definitions on what's going in this world so my brain can be put at ease.

Zeppelins (the closest thing to airships IRL) weren't invented until the year 1900. Which would put our tech somewhere between the civil war and a couple years before WWISo yeah, I think we should probably have iron clads. Which, according to gowia, do not exist yet but can be invented?

I think were somewhere at the level of 1870s, with some areas being a bit behind.If you are interested in Iron-ships and steamers though, it really shouldnt be to hard. Technology is there, just invest some money into it.

I had originally [and continue to] thought this was a WW1 level of technology, since we have muskets, but also less common rifles, and etc etc

although my nation does have autocannons for air defense and anti-infantry purposes.

UuuuuuuuuuuhUhhhhhhBecause everyone was fighting over Edoniras.

Everyone is starting in the same technology level unless you have traits that say otherwise.

Also this isn't the real world. It's fantasy and steampunk so don't follow a normal time line because we are not the same.

I can remove those, although Gowia might want to take it out of my submitted sheet entirely. My intention was a big focus on artillery to compensate for the complete and utter lack of air power that I have, since it seems unlikely that AA guns wouldn't be under swift development given the presence of functional airships.
