Airships Airships are possibly the most recognizable and iconic human technology and have been around since the dawn of the Age of Steam, three hundred years ago. Lifted into the air by buoyant gases contained within envelopes inside the outer hull, which is often fashioned out of wood or, in the case of military vessels, metal, airships are driven by powerful steam engines, which drive a number of propellers for propulsion and steering, which is performed by adjusting the speed of each individual propeller. Airships are a highly advanced technology which enable humans to transport people and cargo over great distances, as well as giving them the means to counter the elves' dragon knights. Both the Empire and the Free Kingdoms maintain large fleets of military airships, which are armed with a variety of cannons and bombs, allowing them to fight against other flying units, as well as ground targets. Imperial airships are regarded as being the most advanced and are often larger than their Free Kingdoms counterparts, but are more expensive, require more maintenance and more time to build.
