More technology

I don't know if it is possible since I didn't saw mod that adds new research but I think that this game would be even more awesome if someone could create mod that adds more technology to research, both more primitive and MUCH more advanced for example:

-fantasy world version of stone age - technologies like: wheel(civilization research), stone weapons(military), primitive rituals(magic) and other stuff like that.

-fantasy world version of modern era - technologies like: magic powered comunication device(something like cell phone), magic guns, magic powered device(like magic reactors, magic computers and others)

-fantasy world version of future age - technologies like: magic powered robots, magic version of genetic engineering and others.

and other eras(fantasy versions)

 

Some people will probably think that it doesn't fit with fantasy world but I disagree eventually more advanced technology will be needed to better understand magic.

Clarke's Third Law says: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." but opposite is also true: "Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology."(called "Sufficiently Analyzed Magic" on tvtropes.org). "Sufficiently Analyzed Magic is a philosophy, whenever you find wizards, witches, sorcerers or mages who decide that lore and intuition is not enough: They want to understand how magic works and will do so through empirical evidence and experimentation. You have the beginnings of Sufficiently Analyzed Magic." and "Empirical evidence and experimentation are the cornerstone of The Scientific Method, and there is no reason that it should be any less effective at discovering the details of a self-consistent series of rules just because it's called "magic" rather than "physics"."

 

ideas for these technologies is based on books, games, movies, anime and others. for example:

-Thor in thor movie said that: "Your ancestors called it magic... but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same" also "The Destroyer is indistinguishable from any old super-science giant robot with a death ray, and if you took the operational end of the Rainbow Bridge and dropped it in a science-fiction movie, people wouldn't blink twice and simply consider it a teleporter or stargate. in The Avengers Destroyer is reverse-engineered into energy weapons and a Bifrost-like portal is built using real physics principles."

-witchers from witcher books/games are mutants created using magic herbs, there are other examples of genetic engineering in witcher books/games.

-fairy tail anime/manga - Most of the technology in Fairy Tail is powered by magic, from cars and motorcycles to orbital laser satellites(O.o).

-Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha anime/manga - lots of magic technology including magic wands equipped with AI(from very basic to fully sentient O.o) and magic space ships.

-Mahou Sensei Negima! - technology seems to have been more or less fully integrated with magic. Magic Guns are considered antiques, The local Robot Girl runs partially on magic, and there's an entire Magic Internet that can be accessed by magic books or computers complete with program, hacking, and virus spells. Not to mention Magical Flying Warships and MANY others.

-world of warcraft - has Dimensional Ships are vessels, created and operated by the naaru, that can travel between worlds(planets), In the Warcraft lore, there is an entire class known as techno-mages that combine their spells with their inventions to make interesting things happen. A lot of the Draenei technology mixes magical crystals and advanced computer parts. Meanwhile the Goblins use plenty of Steam Punk technology but aren't ashamed to give things a boost with magic should it be required.

 

and MANY others.

 

most of this info comes from tvtropes.org
