Tech still exists. The Earth was just on war footing--rationing and warband raiding--for 144 years, with no production worth noting. Some people were able to maintain modern tech--and I'm considering letting some future tech have survived so people can play robots--there should be a lot of industrial machinery that can be fixed up to work. Indeed I intend on that being part of the game, in addition to rummaging and scavenging supplies, I want players to cobble together weaponry and machines and I'll allow them to find the bits and pieces to do it.shadzar wrote:what about other technology? not just electricity based t4echs, but combustion engine? steam-power? are their fossil fuels left? is there any working industry machinery left?Prak_Anima wrote:Due to the war, modern weapons, thought they're available, are rare, or rather the ammo for them is.
what ceased in that 16 years since the war? what is left? is the planet like Arakus, a desert planet? is there plant life left? is water safe?
does Harry Potter physics exist, or can magic repair technology?
The war was stopped due to attrition. In the Christian traditions, people don't become angels. All the angels that will exist were created by God at the dawn of the world. So when those angels start getting killed, it's a serious problem. Demons can totally be made, in a number of ways, but it's still hard. It's not like a couple demons can just fuck and pop out a baby (well, ok, they can, and it's even going to be faster than human reproduction, but it's still not optimal). So forces were dwindling, and they decided to basically say fuck it. God called his angels to fall back. Demons didn't bother to pursue as one concerted force.
Plant life was, as I said above, seriously damaged. Seas and rivers and lakes were poisoned. It's been 160 years since, though, so the earth is beginning to recover. Basically, the world looks a bit like that in I Am Legend, but with more advanced plant growth/wild reclaimation.
I don't know whether I want magic repairing tech. I may say that it's capable of repairing physically damaged components, but those components still need to be put back together.
