That would be a very emo thing to do tbh.

Anyway silly emo girls aside, the heavy metal faction definately looks the best. Big storm hammers, sword and axes. Vast iron legions and impaling metal.

After all carnage rules the fields of death and such a true force of iron glory will never let the witches ride agian.

Now all they need to do is the invocation of the nameless ones and we are golden!

Iron ears indeed. (Points for refrences)

Do not mess with Procipinee...

I'm glad that the Ironeers aren't just a complete dwarf clone. It looks like they are just as tall as the others, which I think is a good thing.

The problem with lightening rods is that they work by transferring electricty from the cloud to the ground along a safe conductive channel. In a fantasy world, it's unlikely that lightning (especially the magical sort) would behave in quite the same way: first, I see no reason why it would have to STAY on the path of least resistance all the way to the ground and not send some feelers out in other places, and second, there's no reason for metals to have the same relatively high electrical conductivity they do in our world.

I fear you might be correct. But that won't stop me from agitating for the energy to go on a drunkard's path to Earth regardless of the electrical resistance of the chosen medium.....

When are we going to get these in higher resolution? I want to use them as my desktop

If someone/thing has the ability to call down lighting at will and direct it, then a lightning rod isn't going to help you. Lightning rods work by providing the lightning with a preferred path than it would otherwise take (namely, blasting your house apart). Being able to call down lightning to a specific place implies the ability to direct it along the path you want it to take, regardless of the path it would naturally naturally.

My point is, when faced with something like magic or godly powers, it really isn't difficult to come up with good reasons why technology wouldn't be very effective.

Actually the Capitar remind me of the Bannor. Very passionate (European Romanticism), and Very focused on Laws and Ettiquite.

Basically they would act in ways similar to Frederick the Great of Germany combined with Richard the Lionheart. Their first course of action is "marry your daugher to my son", their second action is "sign this paper to become my Vassal ... I mean ally" ... and to their enemys (and any rebels) they send masses of young people on a Calculated Crusade.

Basically kings of "Diplomacy" but certainly not weak. Probably prefer keeping their own people on a short leash of harsh Legalism and Aristocracy, and Prefer to send in Hoards of Mobs as opposed to small groups of elites. Official Crusaders of the State would be their heroes, most likely.

any invididual Hero would likely be akin to Dante Alighieri, Donal Lugh, or Suzaku ... the fearless "invincible hero" that combines brainless devotion with Amazing tactical skill to become a Demagogue to the people ... even if they lack proper strategic intelligence. Thats for "other" people like Zero, Virgil, Capria, or the Sovereign. I mention Dante merely b/c he was a crusader ... however Donal Lugh and Suzaku are less well known but greater character analysis. Great Loyalty and Devotion, willingness to sacrifice themselves, serve as a Demagogue to recruit scores of more candidates for the meat-grinder, or the political machine. Also can be lavished by the Government, while loved by the people, in order to quell a dissenting populace because they just lavished the Hero of the People. Kind of like a Western Imperial Guard?
