@DX3214Fantasy bronze age type of setting where the bronze age collapse never occurred and societies developed even further and discovered gunpowder early, using it in conjunction with magic bronze to create guns
Resulting in pike and shot warfare or possibly even full on line battles
ofc with magic you can also go like "This is super extra enchanted elite armor, it will outright stop bullets even at close range"
So you can give it to your not-Sacred Band or whoever and have a literal bulletproof elite force for really dire moments
Still weighing whether to do that, or reboot this.
