Against tattoos on young people? Yeah, I guess you have a point.

<Snipped quote by Voltus_Ventus>Of course it has nothing to do with alchemy. I just mean that there could be always certain methods and naturally occouring materials which allow such things to happen.
For example I can imagine his nation experimenting with poisons and discover that a certain nerve poison in small dosage (usually) don't kill people but makes their pain receptors (and probably a number of other nerves) dead. The basic description on these soldiers was pretty inhumane already so I don't think he minds turning it up by a notch.
Alchemy don't needs to be magical, just a slight bit fantastical.
Something like a pain blocker could be developed, IMO.
Hell, we have ancient smiths in our history who could forge steel which was happened to be reinforced by carbon nanotubes.
Yup, the big sensation of material engineering was something a group of smiths accidentally managed to reproduce during their "primitive" steelmaking procedures.
If the fantasy tag is being pulled, does that mean we have to stick to humans? I ask because I was including a few non-human species in my nation.
<Snipped quote by Voltus_Ventus>I can't see why griffins are being an issue.
It's literally air cavalry. And we all know what happened to cavalry units in World Wars when faced vehicles.
Griffins are slow compared to aeroplanes and you really don't want to combat fighters with them.
That and fighters are cheaper to own than any breed of griffin.
