Hey Frengo, can you remind us what general period in human technological/political history you wanted us to end up in? As I read your description, we should be ending up in the general area of what various civilizations in the world looked like around the fall of the Roman Empire. Is that a little later than you had imagined?

Well all races are different, so it's impossible for me to specify in exact end-state. As prescribed by the introduction to the Ancient Era, races may not use gun powder or anything stronger than iron in mass, as these materials will be in their infancy. Furthermore, no significant worldly inventions that occurred after 400 A.D, may be developed. 

Note that the fall of the Roman Empire started a dark age, where the triumph of Christianity over antiquity would forestall human progress for a long period of time (thanks Jesus!). However, in our time line, the Late Ancient Era will be on the threshold of an Exploration Age, where technology is set to drive into medieval-times. Indeed, I envision some of our actual character posts will be concerned with those who first voyaged across the great seas to a new land.
