[QUOTE="Al, post: 392184, member: 2486"] With regard to mass production: 1. Breastplates are military items; industrialisation occurs when mass production is applied to civilian products. 2. It was in the late 1400s, not the 12th century. 3. It could not be on the same scale as the true 'Industrial Revolution' As for the banking sector, it is required to allow the easy transfer of money, and to allow private individuals to borrow money, hence 'creating' far more wealth than there really is in the economy (credit ratios etc.) and enabling large-scale funding to go ahead. You *could* have it all funded by the rich aristocracy, but historically, this was generally unheard of. With respect to 'modern capitalist theory', read Adam Smith. I can't post Wealth of Nations on a messageboard. Cheap technology: mass production of textiles was first around in the 18th century. Three field crop rotation was also typical of eras later than DnD, as were horse harnesses. With respect for everburning torches, this is not really cheap: at 100gp, this is the cost of 10,000 ordinary torches! [/QUOTE]
