Robots: Not when you take magic into account :P

And I'm glad I could move you :P

*Bangs head on wall* No, not dark age, the government is intact, it would JUST be various forms of technology that would have been destroyed, not the governmental infrastructure, nor the unilateral set back of all tech on the whole. Make sense?

About Alexi, because he wants to. And again Magic trumps Robots. Take faeries(And sprites) for example. As long as you've got a small garden, or flowers, the faeries can dot heir jobs, no maintenance or upgrades required, and they will take care of the garden themselves. No upgrades, no breaking, the only thing you have to worry about is buying new faeries when you faeries die. . Or, or. . .To make things simpler, if this will not kill you, robots never existed. Automated machines and mechanical arms and the like, but no one has ever decided to go the extra mile and make "Robots". Or, even if you can't do that, then I must say again, Magic for the win. No one need robots because magicals do everything robots would do, without needing parts, repairs, maintenance, the time to make them, and programming. Slaves are easier, and if we have learned anything as humans, we go for convenience. Why make robots for stuff slaves can do, when we already have slaves to do the work, and do it without much effort.
