We don't need the real historical people that acted as catalist either, we can go with having our own Popes, Columbis, Adams, Watt, Lenins, Hitlers or Oppenheimer - or Galalios, Darwins, St. Augistines, Voltaires, etc. etc. etc. to move things forward. We just have to do it at a steady pace, and, sure, someone might invent the steam engine, but that doesn't mean we can't all read their books!! The only reason for NOT moving forward to a new technology would be because you choose to rp it that way.

Innovation should be only RPG style like a supergun, a big-big-big zeppelin or so on

I would think it'd be quite funny, and might roll with it, depending on how well the other player can play it across. You forget the main point of the forum is roleplaying. If I invaded any nation with 5,000 trained riflemen, I would think the civilian resistance would be high no matter what their technology, and they would thus have a chance to win, even were it with just spears. You have to lose sometimes.

Field Marshal Posts: 4,727 Group: Members Member #427 Joined: March 29, 2008	Due to people wanted the technology to stay fixed, I'm going to append a poll in the tech poll thread I started to see whether people want to do that or not.

Anyone who doesn't follow suite and starts to godmod, or on the other hand doesnt accept defeat in anything, he will soon marginalise himself as countries would not be as willing to RP with him. As for the issue about who gets to develop the technologies, well it can be certain that not 1 country alone can be getting all technologies developed, so once it gets out of hand, we will be the ones who will balance it out. After all, we are mature players, aren't we?
