>>93194663
why would you build a machine to do what you can already do? Shouldn't it be Harpies using tanks, dwarves using submarines, mermaids using mechs and humans using planes?

>>93194867
Same reason you use a car

we built boats first

>>93194867
A better take would be that Harpies fly around on airships, since they would effectively be mobile skybound homes that the harpies can fight, hunt and trade from.

Mermaids use tanks because they can't survive for long periods outside water and need to take their environments with them to the battlefield.

Humans use submarines because submarines are amazing naval assets if you don't need to support operations ashore, and it lets humans interact (peacefully or otherwise) with mermaids on their own turf.

Elves use ships because elves are loser traditionalists.

Dwarves use mechs because mecha let dwarves live out their dreams of not being tiny manlets, and the impractical nightmare of designing functional combat mechs appeals to Dwarven inner autismo.

Goblins use planes because gnomes like rickety deathtraps and speeeeeeeed.

Dragonborne get helicopters so they can do fly-by breath attacks

Lizardfolk you fat fucking retard

>>93194900
Cars carry more weight and go faster. Maybe submarines can go lower but I don't know if mermaids would need them

>>93194932
Amazing, it took you probably 10 seconds of thinking to come up with something a million times better than OP's retarded ass logic

GOMU GOMU NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Elves use canoes because ships are a damn gimmick. Nobody needs a boat THAT big.

What?
>>Dwarves use tanks because they're short and sturdy, like them
Makes more sense than most of the others, but dwarves wouldn’t be primarily known for tanks unless they sold them en masse, as they’d be terrible in an underground environment
>>Harpies use planes because they already know how to fly
Same principle, different mechanics. As >>93194932 points out, creating an aerial base would be far better for harpies
>>Mermaids use submarines because underwater survival is their expertise
Now THIS is retarded. Submarines have so much faults (limited visibility, large size, requires multiple people to steer and studious record keeping to keep track of its position and location, if it stumbles into another force it’s dead, etc.) that merfolk simply don’t have to deal with. It would be infinitely better if they just set up a Navy SEALs team that exploits their greater manoeuvrability and small profile to execute stealth and assault operations
>>Humans use mechs because we've mastered the humanoid form
How does this not apply to any other humanoid species, especially elves
>But who would use surface ships?
Otter people so they can perform amphibious assaults
>>
>>93197517
>The most fearsome sight in a war against elves is an archmage angrily paddling a canoe
Yeah, but they also summoned the river the canoe is riding on and the teeming creatures in it. He probably won't even take it away when he's done with it, the littering bastard!

Elves.
LotR elves were master mariners.

Anon's a loser who thinks traditionalism is le bad.

Dwarves living underground and trains don't mix. Either they're surface dwellers or they need a really good reason to allow all that smoke and steam underground.

Trolls because that way they don’t have to bathe.

Til an aspiring human artificer creates a golem-mech with a staff the size of a telephone pole. It's high yield aberration matrix optimized to have a defensive spell lattice as powerful as an archmage but with a fraction of the mana draw.

Imagine this: subways. They improved minecarts, it's crazy nobody thought about that.

Lizardmen clearly use amphibian tanks
Ogres use artillery
