Building an Empire

That looks really good, both of you! I can't see anything wrong with the adventurers other than them being very old for a young guild (by the time multiple generations have been born and died in the time the guild has been around, it's probably become part of the old guard) which I spoke to you about already.

I really like the tinkers. They are a lot more technologically advanced than I envisioned for the game, but I really like the magitech theme. Maybe dial it back a little bit - trains, for example, are such a game-changer for economics and I wanted this to be a medieval-early renaissance economy rather than a late industrial one. (Though if you want to research towards that stuff once the game starts, I fully encourage that.) The weapons are definitely fun, though. Another thing to note is that I will probably do longer turns when there are no imminent wars and crises - probably five years at a time - so if things start off at peace, your first ruler may not be around for very long.

Hmmm, well I can think of one plausible way for trains to not be a thing, despite Golems being more complicated and developed later. Basically, the Nobles want to keep the uppity peasants from having an easy means of transportation. Hence, railways and similar means of mass transit are banned.

EDIT: Actually, coming to think of it, the Tinker Uprising could have been the spark that lead to the creation of the Adventurer's Guild, seeing as the history section for that organization says they were founded in the wake of a crisis in the last two centuries, which was about the time of the Tinkers attempting to take over the country.
