Oh my.
I'm catching flack for that THIS long after the fact?
What was that, seven years ago?
It wasn't even MY thread!
I think it was Michael Taylor.
LOL

2 advantages to this type of excersize.

First, by considering ways in which a Player may attempt to create such "things" a GM can design the Campaign in such a way as to block thoses type projects.
A simpel method of acomplishing this is to set the Population of the region at a minimum level for sustance.
No work force, no Mega-project.
Look what the Egyptians did with no Magic or Tech, just one hella-large workforce.

Second, consider that Campaign change I was speaking of.
What would a Magical Spacefareing Culture look like under TFT, as opposed to a Technical Spacetravel Culture?
There is mui-mucho value in that speculation.
