I decided to completely rethink everything. And now, I've fully switched to the Sci-Fi side.
So, let's take a small example, a comparison of one type of unit (let's call it that). Although, of course, this won't say anything about superiority, because in battle, the overall strength decides everything, not the strength of a specific unit.
Infantry. What usually represents infantry in fantasy? Dwarves, spearmen, ordinary soldiers, peasants, and so on. In Sci-Fi, there are far fewer close-combat infantry units than Soldiers at close range.
That is, in a battle, close-combat and ranged warriors would fight. Let's take an example:
Knights (without horses, just in armor with a sword, etc.) against Clones from Star Wars.
Before the knights reach the clones, at least half of them will already be gone.
That is, at long range, they will get blaster shots to the head. At medium range, they will get grenades. And then, only then, will there be close combat. However, even in close combat, the Clones will outperform the knights.
Well, that's just sentimentality.
However, all non-magical creatures can be crossed off the list, because they won't be able to do anything against Sci-Fi characters. Tell me, what can a Sword or an arrow do to a Super Battle Droid?
So, 50% of Fantasy units are eliminated.
Magic, I don't deny, is a powerful thing. There's Armageddon, or Inferno, or something that weakens. But Sci-Fi has an answer to that. Artillery bombardment, for example, using battlecruisers.
This is just a small part of what I wanted to say, because it's hard to say everything.
And if we take a "sword made of super metal" or a "super dragon" or something else, then I can say "super-duper-mega cyborg" that is not afraid of ANYTHING, and in my opinion, that would be nonsense.
And I don't know why I decided to write in this thread at one in the morning. Brr, I think I'm going crazy
