<Snipped quote by Nerevarine>What separates early-mid medieval ages from late medieval ages can be often narrowed down to guns and metallurgy.
Actually, metallurgical developments weren't even new that big since other cultures had blast furnances prior. Guns and chemistry are a similar deal or the idea of military drills.

We have random pieces lying around which people can use as inspiration. I think it does make sense if people catch up with them.
Not saying we'd go beyond the medieval setting but for example seeing a modern gun would put the idea in people to make their medieval weapons shaped more like that. Which is strangely means in a certain aspect that leads to hundreds of years of leap in gun development (firearms took a "gun-like shape" by the 16th century). Mechanism of a modern gun can also help people inventing mechanical locks for guns earlier.
With 12th century developments things are still rather crude in quality but the above for example still aid them to create better tools.
Also it'd lead them to make plate armors and more decent quality metal products early.

Those are just my thoughts on the matter.

While that is fair, It really depends on how much PolishKing wants to diverge from the source mod (being Crusader Kings, it follows the Middle Ages up to the End of the Crusades). I'd rather not diverge too far from his vision of the RP

As pointed by Dinh, the use of automatic and semi-automatic is probably very very inefficient in a pre-industrial setting, and so I imagine firearms to be rather primitive, but I also do see them being more advanced than what we would have seen in the actual 12th century.

I won't be able to post over the weekend because I'm going camping up north. To the Silver Bear dunes.

Well that's a pity.

Turns out work rescheduled my weekend around the day I requested off.

But it's no biggy for me, I get the house all to myself for two days and there's a festival going on in town I would have much rather visited. Being on the night schedule, I don't think I would have had such a great time camping with everyone.

Now if they asked me to come down to somewhere like say New Orleans, I would have fought to go.

@TheSovereignGrave Your app looks good; I ask that you copy it into the character tab so all the apps are in a single location

Has this died?

I am working on my first post. Though it's not coming easily, unfortunately.

And did we ever decide upon the technology level for certain? I made my nation under the assumption that it'd kinda be like the early High Middle Ages. Sorta like the inspirational material.

I think a big problem is that in this RP Polishking explicitly stated that it was a nuclear war that screwed up the world. It's already kind of a stretch that things got kicked back as far as they did, with just so much knowledge apparently just being completely lost to time.

I was hoping that PolishKing would be more present so that I wouldn't have to take the full brunt of running this thing but I guess I have no real choice.

That being said, I'm still uncertain as to how much he's willing to let me alter his pre-existing roleplay idea for when/if he comes back.
