Great Wars (Ardai): Difference between revisions

The Great Wars overlapped with the [[Landship Era]], when massive armored vehicles known as [[landship]]s dominated the battlefield. Landships were most zealously utilized by the powers of [[Nuro]], whose large-scale designs have been described as "moving fortresses". The eastern archipelagic powers generally favored smaller designs that could be deployed in amphibious operations, while the nations of [[Kuo]] and [[Okkar]] preferred light, maneuverable "mechanized cavalry". Landships, along with their air and sea cousins, were seen as symbols of a nation's might and pride; thus, the decline of nationalism in the 1960s put a definitive end to the Landship Era, although advances in aerial bombardment had rendered superheavy landships obsolete by the mid-1950s.
