From the developing of engineering thinking to the gradual development of machinery it was only a matter of time and maturity. After all, the basics was there, the necessary sciences - already in place. What was lacking was some genius or other putting them in practice.

Quote
| - I'd imagine the whole world as one big machine. Machines never come with any spare parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need.
- Remember that people break down, too, not just machinery.

abstract
| - From the developing of engineering thinking to the gradual development of machinery it was only a matter of time and maturity. After all, the basics was there, the necessary sciences - already in place. What was lacking was some genius or other putting them in practice. And thus in the Middle ages the first complex machines are invented - combinations of wheels, axles, levers, etc. which manage to transform different energies applied into useful motions. This allows the development of a new Tile Improvement - the Lumber Mill, which turns Woods into useful industrial boosters. And, it allows the invention of the crossbow, which elevates ranged weaponry to a whole new level and finally gives it enough power to punch through thick iron armor.
