@Mimcoa You do realize the Medieval era lasted for 500 years and the Dark Ages before that lasted for 600. The world isnt in a constant state of the Medieval ages, though it seems that way, there has to be a point of the rise of the Classical or Tribal eras of that world. Its much like history, their is no need for advancement until another discovery, the first firearm could never have been invented without the discovery of Niter, the fuse, blacksmithy/metallurgy, and war.
