A recent post raised a valid point, that there could be misinterpretations of some meanings when we are looking at this mod and especially the world in which it is set.

Firstly this is not an accurate historic representation. It is entirely fantasy and when we talk of historical accuracy there are two things to consider:

1. Accuracy is meant to be that content and lore have to be applicable to an earth based mythology. If you consider a Khajut being introduced to Lord of the Rings then it wouldnt feel right. We all accept that this is a work of complete fiction but there have to be certain laws and filters of plausibility. Its a stretch of the imagination but accepted fantasy to consider a fictional pre-recorded history world on earth as the basis of a story. It would be a stretch too far in the case of a mod like this to have robots and laser guns. Does that make sense?

2. Historical has to be taken as meaning in context with Mesogea lore, not real history. If we speak of historically correct then what we are considering is how a given matter can plausibly fit into the fictional history of Mesogea.
