>Game has ancient civilization(s) that "mysteriously" disappeared thousands of years ago
>They had robots/advanced technology
>Present time doesn't have any of that shit
This is common in movies, books and TV shows as well as real life (many people believe that ancient people in Atlantis, Egypt, or South America had advanced knowledge that we do not possess today).
People like the idea of something being hidden for ages and then uncovered.
>Technology never gets lost
>Society never goes backwards
What an idealistic fuckhead.
End yourself.

Yes, yes, you're very clever for knowing that humanity forgot how to make Greek fire, but that's not exactly the same thing as fucking robots/ancient astronauts/ect.

actually yeah it is you retard.

it comes from ye old roman ruins/statues during the dark ages. The people back then where dumb as rocks, at least the majority of them, and had no clue where the fuck they came from or who made them.
>ancient Romans develop surgery to close blood vessels when soldiers/gladiators are wounded
>this practice is not discovered again until the 1800's
Technology gets lost all the time, especially if it's good technology.

no it's not
some roman inventor getting lucky mixing the right chemical together=/=intense R&D poured into making nano transitors
>Game has technology that you randomly scavenge from an ancient people
>Turns out they scavenged it from an ancient people as well

If I gave you a [pic related], could you replicate it? surely you would be able to do so as technology and knowledge is never lost?

And Damascan steel and plenty of other things the Renaissance is an entire period of history that was began by a rediscovery and re analysis of Classical medicine maths science philosophy etc. Especially if the civilisation lived 1000 years ago or disappeared mysteriously that increases the likelihood of some large disaster causing information and knowledge to be lost, imagine how much knowledge our civilisation would lose if we had a nuclear world war or the Internet was irrevocably destroyed.

Oh shut the fuck up, retards
>>320046564
actually with enough money and man power a rudimentory form of that could be made
it takes a lot of research, but is still possible especially if I already knew it ran on electricty and all the parts are right there
we have no idea what greek fire was made from, so it's an analogy that doesn't hold up

Damascan steel<new carbon materials
TbeH, our time is better spent researching materials better than old tecfh than trying to recreate old tech that is only marginally better than hardened steel
if they disappeared, why would we know they have robots?

It's because of ignoramuses like you that tumblr exists, spreading your infectious stupidity.
