Came up with this concept in my Philosophy of Technology class. I'd like to know if it's viable, if it's already been done, or if it needs some improvements.

The Luddite Challenge

Your dwarves have been exiled from the Mountainhome for their extreme stance against advanced technology.

Your dwarves may not create*, import, or use mechanisms, or anything that requires mechanisms. By extension, this means no traps, no traction benches, no controlled floodgates, no pumps, no screw press, no Dwarven Atom Smasher, etc.

* up to you to decide what to do if a mechanic gets a mood.

Variation 1: Also ban siege engines and crossbows.

The challenges page is filled with ideas how to make the game more FUN!

DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[KtosoX]

Compute this!
a + b =c
(3a-2a) + (3b-2b) = (3c-2c)
3a - 2a + 3b - 2b = 3c - 2c
3a + 3b -3c = 2a + 2b - 2c
3(a + b -c) = 2(a + b - c)
3 = 2

Oops. I guess it's already been done, then. Sorry about this!

how do I locked thread

Compute this!
a + b =c
(3a-2a) + (3b-2b) = (3c-2c)
3a - 2a + 3b - 2b = 3c - 2c
3a + 3b -3c = 2a + 2b - 2c
3(a + b -c) = 2(a + b - c)
3 = 2

Division by 0 means this is invalid.
