Realistically, humans would not have made it anyway to even try and fight.

Exactly. If trolls the size of trees, dragons roaming the skies, and necromancers raising armies were daily threats, humans wouldn’t be organizing councils-they’d be hiding in holes hoping to make it to the next sunrise. At best, you'd end up with isolated fortified enclaves, not kingdoms with 900 years of political stability and flourishing economies.

The issue with these settings is that technology never improves. Instead what happens is that heroes just rediscover or reverse engineer ancient artifacts.
Meanwhile in WW2 alone we went from bolt action rifles like the M1 garand to the grandfather of the modern assault rifle, the stg44.
If we take medieval times, knights went from chainmail and nasal helms to fully articulate suits of steel plate in just 400 years.

>>719419952
why improve technology when you can use magic or ancient artifacts to make your life easier?
>>
>>719417010
t. only knows history from Crusader Kings
Might as well have said "from the Charlemagne dlc until EUIV starts"
>>
>>719420056
Because often the case is that wizards want magic for themselves, not the common man. We never see wizards and sorcerors try to improve the quality of life in these settings anyway. Even just solving mundane shit like levitating rickshaws or carts to make transfer of heavy loads easier for transporters.

the real life middle ages lasted 1000 years dumbass. Obviously for there to be no differences in the world at all 500 years later is retarded but technological change was generally very slow in the pre-modern era so it’s not all that unrealistic for the world to remain pretty recognizable a couple centuries in the future, aside from political borders and such. The life of an average peasant in 1200 wouldn’t have been that different from 1000

>>719416767
there would be no reason to invent stuff if magic exists

In terms of warfare it would still be pretty significant at least. Tactics would also change a lot. New weapons and strategies would frequently appear.
Like it doesn't make sense for warring nations to have the same looking soldiers and weapons for centuries. Military reforms constantly happen as response to victories and defeats.

1453 is because that's when Constantinople fell. Idk why he started with 650 though

Also >90% of the existence of our species was spent in the stone age.
Technological advancement from one generation to the next is a relatively new phenomenon for us.

You fools underestimate humans. Now intelligent dragons and gods are one thing, but dumb trolls are another. Humans made every single large predator go extinct before history could even start. Europe used to have hippos. Mammoths were pretty much fat thundra cows to our primitive ancestors.

Even the dumbest isekais either have magic to compensate or large monsters are rare or only found in frontier areas.
Realistically any monster either dumber than humans or unable to form groups would be no challenge to a well-organized human force

>>719416767
Realistically speaking there's only like 2 eras of civilization. Before Modern and Modernity. All the eras of history were made up by history autists obessed with categorizing time, place and people.

was the finno korean hyper war before or after the hyborian age?

I mean, Napoleon traveled at the same speed as Caesar. Let that sink in.

In hundreds of years, Earth will be medieval too. And this time without easily accessible resources needed for industrial revolution.
