<Snipped quote by duck55223>I am rather interested in a detailed reason why.
It isn't like I would be having unfair advantages over the others. I'd be just... different.
Martians never invented the wheel thus they have walkers.
Also their exclusive form of space travel is via building massive projectiles shot from an even more massive cannon which is why they haven't received any help from homeworld in decades and have no way to return.
If you want a setting which doesn't rigidly adheres to the cliches of 19th century settings then my Martians are a perfect example which breaks the mold.
