Interesting, I'll make a note of that.
Well, now that is out of the way. What is (in your opinion) the nicest city on earth?
Cold War (Capitalism and Communism having a standoff, nothing much happens)
Given London being renamed Lovelave, I would guess that this is a steampunk timeline of some sort, possibly involving Charles Babbage actually finishing a project.ninebucks, what weapons were used to destroy London and what country/faction employed them?
First things first, let's establish a Point of Divergence. At which point does the following start to become unfamiliar:
Ancient Egypt (chariots, pyramids, pharaohs)
Ancient Rome (legions, emperors, aqueducts)
Christianity (Church built around a son of God who was crucified)
Middle Ages (bad hygiene, castles, knights)
Renaissance (art, exploration. Discovery of new continents)
Colonization (Europeans arriving and claiming many additional nations)
American Revolution (Against Britain if it exists)
Napoleonic Wars (A French short guy becomes emperor, gets into shenanigans)
American Civil War (Over slavery and states' rights)
Cars (four wheels, move under their own power)
World War I (Trenches, early tanks, machine guns)
Communism (From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs, Lenin, Stalin)
Nazism (Adolf Hitler, Aryan race, German Restoration)
World War II (Aircraft and ballistics use, tank warfare, Atomic bomb)
Cold War (Capitalism and Communism having a standoff, nothing much happens)
Modern technologies (Computing machines, passenger aircraft)
Given London being renamed Lovelave, I would guess that this is a steampunk timeline of some sort, possibly involving Charles Babbage actually finishing a project.
Whoa there! Let's not discount the Korean War and Vietnam War as "nothing much happens"!
ninebucks, what weapons were used to destroy London and what country/faction employed them?
The city itself was levelled by automated bomber planes. Its population was wiped out by a weaponised smallpox strain.
These weapons were deployed by us - the Machines.
So, you yourself are a Machine?
Was this last war between humanity and the Machines? Was it a worldwide struggle?
