[quote=@Zoldyck] I have a question about technology. In 1866 Ironclads were fairly new, brand new even, and breech loaded weaponry just got introduced. Wont it be odd to already have tanks and mechs stomping around on the battlefields instead of cavalry? And I also read about a radio proposal. Wont it make more sense to start out with the telegraph? Because the inventor of the Radio, Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi, isnt even born yet :P Just my thoughts on it, since it was asked. [/quote] Well part of the idea of Steampunk is that we have futuristic technology in the past, Ironclads were introduced around 1854 shortly after the discovery of blue coal as it sparked a huge rush of invention. And even if the inventor of the radio isn't born yet, we can always just have had someone else invent it. [quote=@Legion X51] They are part of what most would call 'Russia' at this point in time.
