Creature:Knobi/Military and Tech

Military
The Nobi are a warrior people by necessity. They have always waged war with the Vyre, and have always struggled to survive in their wintery environment. They, though suffering and adaptation, have become some of the strongest and most advanced military in all of Koldenwelt, though their military has yet to be tested against the other species of Koldenwelt.

Soldiers

 * Warriors- Basic Warriors, they use various weapons like swords, maces, clubs, knives, the like; to kill as efficiently as possible. They are the main forces in the Nobi Armies.
 * Archers- Basic Archers, they use longbows and crossbows as their main weapons. They rarely miss their target, and are exceptionally skilled at mass firings, which can decimate enemy forces.
 * Dralor- Dralor are the Nobi equivalent of knights. They ride on a species of Highland Horse, small and strong, similar to a pony. These horses are called "Highlanders" and have great stamina.
 * Sa'Kage- Sa'Kage are archers that ride Highlanders. They are the best of the best, known for their accuracy and adaptability, as well as their ability to disappear into almost any environment.
 * Cave Lions- Cave Lions are called this because they were able to defeat and tame a Cave Lion. This is a very difficult thing to do, but it is possible. Needless to say, very few survive, and they always bear the scars of the battle. They ride on the back of a Cave Lion.
 * Mages- Mages of all sorts work with out armies, as everything from healers to warriors to even some that are Cave Lions. They are very good at killing enemies, and can deal great damage in short amounts of time.

War Machines

 * Zeppelins- Zeppelins can be used to transport troops and as airborne weapons platforms. Vulnerable to attack.
 * Siege Engine- Siege engines can take out walls and are best used against cities and structures. Vulnerable to attack.
 * Catapult- Best used to toss large numbers of stone and occasionally the bodies of defeated warriors at enemies, to demoralize and kill them. Vulnerable to attack.

Before they moved
Before the Nobi moved they had a moderately advanced tech system. High levels of irrigation, larger fishing ships and fleets, iron and steel weapons and tools, domesticated food sources, and large cities.
 * Irrigation and Dams- The Nobi have always been good at using water to help them. They can build large dams and make complex irrigation systems to water their plants and cities.
 * Lighting and Heating- Coal and oil lamps can be found, as well as beeswax candles. Nobi like light, it is good for them.
 * Medicinal Methodes- Healers can heal but the Nobi also have skilled surgeons (for their tech level), and have a great deal of medicinal abilities.
 * Sewer Systems- Complex sewer systems to make sure that the wastes are take far away from the cities and farms. Usually dumped into large ponds of sewage where it slowly decomposes.
 * basic hot-air balloons, using coal and some kinds of gas, as well as fire mages, to lift them up and down. It was a small step from there to full sized zeppelins.

After they moved
The Nobi, because of the harsh Highland conditions, have more advanced tech then most of the species on Koldenwalt. They are a tier 4 civ by this tier scale
 * Thermosteam plants- take water and the hot fires of nearby volcanos to create superheated steam which can then turn turbines and create electrical power, or can be used as a pressurized power source. AKA, used to push elevators up and down, or to turn turbines that then pull things around.
 * Zeppelins- Used as a form of transport that is safe from the Vyre and other threats of ground based travel. Not the fastest way to travel, but safer then ground travel.
 * Turbines- Used to generate electricity or to turn gears and/or pulley systems.
 * Electricity- The Nobi are currently experimenting with electricity. Still experimental.
 * Medicinal Methodes- have increased greatly since before the Vyre. Drugs and medicines have become more effective, and there are many new ways to fix damaged bodies.
