[quote=duck55223] UuuuuuuuuuuhUhhhhhhBecause everyone was fighting over Edoniras. [/quote] But that makes no sense, explorers aren't always in a government payroll and by such a period governments would have thought to try and send explorers further out. Also, Muskets in WW1... What? Muskets were out long before that. Which also raises the question of why anyone is using muskets, and Kabaan isn't just behind but behind to the point of complete irrelevance... And we haven't a single colony anywhere. Adding airships and having the industrial revolution early would be a steam punk spin, closer to the light steam punk it seems we were meant to be heading for considering mentions of muskets etc. I don't think we need to jump to 1870-1900 or near because we have airships and an industrial revolution. Also, lets wait for Gowia should we? He's probably the one with the most knowledge on where shouts we should be and whether we should be using breech loaders from 1870 or have rifles as being widespread etc.
