Clashing Empires At The Dawn Of The Technological Age: Leviathans Discussions > Rules Errata

Timeline Error?

A_Watts:
So it's not a rules thing, but it's a published work I suppose.

I was browsing through the timeline and came upon this:


--- Quote from: timeline ---1891 – 1894
The first generation of functional Leviathans appears. Limited in size to what would latter be termed destroyers and light cruisers, they have reasonable armament, armor proof from most rifle fire, and pitiful ranges. Their use in colonial wars, however, enabled French victories in Africa, and English victories in Afghanistan. Practical limits on their use also involve production of electroid at elefacturies—dark, satanic mills where electrical current is converted into electroid—and supplies of copper to form electroid tanks.

Evolution of the airscrew. Airscrews become longer and leaner. Efficiency improves, but vulnerability doesn’t. Most Leviathans are destroyer/light cruiser class fighting poorly armed tribesmen, except for a few prestige “battleships”. This changes when an initial clash between France and Italian Leviathans in 1893 ends with both ships crippled due to airscrew damage. The Italian ship was recovered, but the French vessel was blown south over the Mediterranean and foundered when it failed to maintain charge.

But then!


--- Quote from: timeline ---1895
Italy raises its first Leviathan, the RM Napoli.

Not terribly imporant in the long run, and perhaps there is something I'm missing, but I figured I would point it out.

Worktroll:
Good catch - we did in fact spot this prior to the game going to print, so there's a correct version in the actual box. Now I just have to figure out how to fix the site version!

Thanks for bringing that to our attention!

Leaderoforcs:
So, this is just a little bit of the detail hound in me sniffing out what's probably the easiest way to get a clear answer without agonizing over whether it's been fixed or not, but what date did the RM Napoli float out of the yards?

Worktroll:
The first RM Napoli raised for the first time in 1892.

Cheers,

W.
