The technological reference date specified in the original post is 1600. Technically, the last year of the 16th century. You're pushing the level of innovation of the [i]late[/i] 1600's and early 1700's. You also seem to have assumed that every single faction existing in Geryon is equally technologically advanced, a very salient mistake given that all of our factions exist in Geryon's most dangerous and chaotic backwater, where we've all been barely clinging to life and generally moving backwards for the last five hundred years, a la the fall of Rome. Worst of all for your perception of the setting, you forget that this is a fantasy world. The existence of magic and of fantastical flaura and fauna makes technological progress less necessary and therefore slower.
