Quote:The RTS games did have their own share of retcons. In each game the horde's trolls came from a different place. I had a 'stop putting tech in my fantasy' moment the first time I saw a dwarven rifleman, too.
There's a pretty broad tradition of fantasy-steampunk like the dwarves use. Zepplins and cannon firing battleships were in WC2.
High tech looking computerized stuff like mana forges, "naruu technology" mixed with high fantasy.... not so much.
