I have a sense of humor. I also have personal experience with people seeing magic as an easy fix, which is something I dislike. Especially when they may technology out to be far more complex than magic. Wow, our tastes are really polar opposites. >.>

I never said technology wasn't complex. Magic and Technology can both be complex, can't they?

Anyhow, I'm thinking about quitting Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars and just starting a Blue Moon army in The Wars. I've played in every version of Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars so far, and perhaps it's time for a change of pace. Instead of making loads of frightening industrial technology as a bunch of Koopas, I want to...make loads of frightening industrial technology as some people. After finally reading the details of the awesomeness of Hachi's Black Hole army, I...kinda want an Advance Wars army. That, and... I WANT A ROFLCOPTER AND A LOLROCKET Edit: An' none of this "Just play both" business. I already spend too much time on the internet as it is. What, my Black Hole army, responsible for this outrage! Never! I would like you to try and continue Loaded Shell. Maybe for your Blue Moon army, you could simplify your tech section? My Black Hole tech. didn't take too long, and you don't even have to worry about all the Death Ray and Oozium stuff.

Especially when they may technology out to be far more complex than magic.It's a subjective issue, but to me that would mean something a good deal different. Frankly, the reason I like tech is because it's explainable. Well...most of the time, if it's industrial. Magic, to me, just seems trippy. Of course, it really doesn't make much sense for me to have a religion if I like things to be explainable, but...well, there it stands.

That was supposed to be make, not may. I see magic and technology as being equally complex, if done right. You can always do with technology what people do with magic though. Ancient stuff people don't understand and that does special stuff. Clarke's Law, again. Is no one going to look it up?

One difference between the complexity of Magic and Technology: Tech needs to be explained, 'cause it EXISTS in the REAL WORLD. There ain't no Harry Weasley runnin' round shouting Toeus Extendulum at Snaps. All Magic can do is pump some excitement into an otherwise dull book or story.

Are you really arguing with me about magic? If you think that, then that just shows you haven't read that many magical novels.

Okay, let's take this elsewhere if you guys want to continue arguing...anyhow, I guess I really will try both at once...

Magic and tech can be equally complex, it's just here nobody really cares how you cast a spell and why fire suddenly appears, where as they do care that they can just press that big red "Do not Press" button to blow it up.

Well, that gets more into somewhat futuristic, or as I say, cheesy stuff...don't get me into it! But, anyhow, I'll get my application up once I refresh my memory of the last version's rules.
