When 60-year-old farmers in the countryside ask passers-by for a bowl of water, "Young man, have you ever heard of the industrialization of magic?", there is probably something really wrong with this society.
How do you backstab someone you can't defeat head-on?
Generally it can be divided into four steps.
Stand with him.
Agree with all his points.
Exaggerate these views and modestly state that you are just inspired by him.
Then click on the energy in the talent tree. When you have 110 points of energy, you can backstab twice in a row as long as the two-second energy recovery principle is stuck.
Do you understand the value of Win!Win!? You stabbed me in the back twice.
Won Ma.
No one understands how terrifying the Old Gods are better than Carlos, so he has never dared to allow ideological trends within the alliance to spread, so much so that today's conservatives feel that the Grand Marshal is too extreme, and the extremists feel that His Majesty is too conservative.
The high elves are the most obvious example.
As we all know, heretics breed in the Court of Heretics, and demons breed in the Hall of Demons. Even if Carlos gives repeated orders, the industrialization of magic is to use magic to promote the development of industrialization, and industrial magic must not be practiced.
But who cares.
The ways to make a fortune are written into the criminal code, and the development direction of magic is recorded in the Index of Magic.
Carlos's stern warning was strictly implemented by the rebellious mage group in Silvermoon City.
In several other timelines, at the same place and at different times, the same tragedy occurred.
Westfall Farm Machinery Riot.
In order to replace the high labor costs, farmers in the western wilderness purchased a large number of agricultural puppets sold by mages to replace the tenant farmers in production work.
With the power of magic and the gift of engineering, wealth is like heavy rain. The prices of these magical engineering creations that have created countless wealth for buyers are getting lower and lower. In order to fight a price war, manufacturers even dare to use self-destruct devices. Optimize it.
So, when evil forces eroded these farm machines, inhumane slaughter colored the wheat fields.
And these tragedies of the same nature, in different timelines, some were done by the Scourge Legion, some were done by the Twilight Sect, some were done by the Black Dragon Legion, and some were even done by human mages in order to compete for market share.
So Carlos never believed in the moral quality of the caster.
The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you will become in Azeroth. This is not a hat, it is a fact.
Quel'Thalas was at the forefront of the reaction.
The only difference between the Olympiad Puppet and the Wheatfield Puppet is that high-end products have no disadvantages except being expensive.
With artificial intelligence, circuit monitoring, and self-destruction instructions, the high elves who thought they had taken all the precautionary measures did not take seriously the ban on automation in the production of magic equipment that was expressly prohibited by the Generalissimo's repeated orders.
In the past, with the unlimited energy supply from the Sunwell, the magisters of Silvermoon City didn't know that magic research turned out to be such an expensive thing.
Now that the glory of the Sunwell has dimmed, the research results of the high elves are booming.
I owe you so much. It’s really just that you can’t read the book unless you borrow it.
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the high elves and night elves have been separated for almost four thousand years. Any bet on grandpa's name is fake. It is because he is betting on the great library of Elre'Thalas.
Even though the Kaldorei Empire was powerful during the period, the core urban cluster was not built just for the sake of construction.
Nowadays, the mage world of the Alliance no longer regards magic as strength first, and has put on a coat of patent protection law on the barbaric academic struggle level. Silvermoon City would be wrong if it didn't keep an eye on the great library of Elre'Thalas. Leah.
Is Suramar and Silvermoon City competing for tens of billions of energy solutions? What the heck, it’s two treacherous sons of the night elves competing for the empire’s mother’s inheritance!
Patents are either yours or yours. They must have complete proofs and academic publications.
Carlos had already hooked up with the high elves of Elre'Thalas before the undead disaster broke out. He sat firmly on the referee's bench and was naturally unwilling to get involved in the dirty school war. Suramar and Silvermoon City had both tasted it. With the benefits brought by the magic patent, how could it be possible to give up the big fat piece of Elrethalas.
Blood sacrifice to the god of learning, head to the library.
Returning to Kalimdor to show off his power is false, but building a magic patent barrier in the name of the Western Expedition is true.
The royal party of Kael'thas and the parliamentary party of Silvermoon City had the same interests in this matter, and for the first time, strong cohesion at the national level broke out in Quel'Thalas.
An army of 20,000 people, if you look at the number alone, is not worth mentioning in terms of the scale of the war in Silithus.
But looking at Haoheng's equipment, Malfurion had to go up to the pole to express his condolences.
The high elves spent a lot of money on this.
Ask, why gunpowder weapons have not replaced melee weapons in Azeroth.
Answer, the victory of magic and stacking.
In the field of weapons, there has always been a conflict between spears and shields. However, as Azeroth is a world of high magic, this conflict between lethality and protection can be simply transformed into a problem of magic coverage.
Whether it is a defensive array or a spell deflection effect, as long as the armor, shield, or even two-handed sword is inscribed with magic or briefly enchanted, it can effectively defend against long-range shooting weapons.
Or to put it more bluntly, for physical damage and magical damage, as long as you have money, you can buy corresponding protective equipment in today's league.
If you are very wealthy, church bishops sell limited invulnerability potions and ephemeral shield scrolls along with door-to-door mass services.
Even the binding of soul stones by warlocks to serve as void shield services has gradually become public.
As a pioneer in the field of stacking materials, the purchase price of general equipment for individual soldiers of the academic expeditionary force of high elves is as high as one million alliance gold coins.
This was completely unheard of in the past tens of thousands of years.
Let's compare the Alliance's military expenditures during the Second Orc War. Taking into account the depreciation of Alliance gold coins, the equipment of two ordinary high elves soldiers can now raise a human regiment twenty years ago.
Why does Silvermoon City still have to invest more in this aspect despite clearly disdainful of Carlos' power armor route?
Because the Pandaria War and the Northrend Northern Expedition have proven that power armor saves money.
Incoherent?
no.
Magic is always rare and expensive. High elves found that the biggest role of heavy power armor was not protection, but enabling ordinary warriors to use larger-caliber long-range weapons.
The problem of spears and shields is the problem of stacking materials in Azeroth.
The strongest soldiers of the high elves cannot march and fight carrying large firearms starting at 50 kilograms, but power armor can.
Customized special arrows and magic-enhanced bows are as powerful as large-caliber towed artillery, but they are expensive to build.
How to balance the killing/protection effectiveness with the cost of war has become a big problem for the Alliance military.
Jaina looked at the military watch provided by Kael'thas and fell into a speechless state for a long time.
Twenty-three two-thousand-ton air and space battleships, forty-two surface ships equipped with boiler systems, twenty thousand high elf soldiers armed to the teeth, long-range, close combat, firepower, and demon-breaking, all learned from the three great wars Based on their experience, Sylvanas' tactical equipment experimental unit submitted hundreds of millions of words of report documents to create this Quel'Thalas family visiting group.
This does not include an army of military arcane puppets and hundreds of the latest hover assault vehicles.
Lady Proudmoore fell into deep thought.
It's not easy for Kael'thas to take on this job. If he hadn't suffered enough injuries, he might have swelled to the point of no end.
What's the situation over there in Suramar?
