[quote=@Inkdrop] [@Willy Vereb]Either way, Stoludi does not have the industrial strength or quality of any industrialized nation, since most things are still made on small scales by artisans. Sorry for my inactivity, my post will be going up soon. [/quote]Strangely enough the situation with Zwölfberge is the opposite. Due to being a fantasy faction and one stereotypically awesome for their smithery the dwarven industry is about comparable to mid 19th century Europe even if the size of their nation limits the quantity. Meanwhile technology in general is in the 15th century or so with some clockpunk or fantastic elements. Anyways, I did some calculations on the ships. Dolchshraubers are roughly the size of a sailless Trireme (36m long, 6m wide) with the displacement around 120 tons. They generally have ~30-50mm wrought iron armor with some wooden backing to prevent shrapnels. It's enough to stop 12-pounders or 24-pounders at range but not at point blank (albeit the front of the ships are further reinforced). Turmschraubers are 45m long and 7.5m wide with the weight around 450 tons. Their armor is 50-75mm wrought iron with wooden backing which is enough to stop 24-pounders thus requiring heavier ordinance. So they would be tough, albeit perhaps somewhat lacking in firepower. As you can read in the character page the typical ship has 1 ballista while the Turmschraubers which are like flagships have 3.
