Trust me, I am an history expert

Cringe-worthy.  Don't be that guy/girl.

The "h" is not silent in history (unlike "an (h)our"), therefore it is equally as awkward, clashing sounding, and impractical to use "an" for history as it would be to say "an hotel," "an hoverboard" or "an hat." (in Britain as well, the H is pronounced in proper Queen's English)

Ur such an pedanter.

I'd say that the Dwarves are medieval, but are heading towards Clockwork-Punk-ish (with all the mechanical traps and such they have)
Goblins are likely Assyrian Classical, being that they have acess to Iron.
Humans are late Bronze Age/ early Iron Age at best - You will rarely, if ever, see a Human with Iron. Mostly Bronze/ Copper
Elves are Neolithic, when people ran around smashing people with clubs (wooden 'swords') and eating the slain.
Kobolds are early Bronze Age when copper was first being used.

...Yeah. Kobolds are more advanced than Elves.

Not really . . . see, kobolds don't MAKE those copper weapons (unless you're in Masterwork). They steal 'em. The Kobolds are still neolithic like the elves, they're just thieves so they get their hands on the advanced weaponry of their neighbors.

Kobolds: Modern Europe.

Speak for yourself.
I reckon if I were to go around a random selection of people around me there would be more who drop the h than don't.

[Urist McVoyager]

Let's NOT turn this into a grammar and spelling debate, please.

Dwarves are definitely clockpunk for now. If we get pressurized steam later on, I can imagine them being both Clock and Steam Punk.

When I play as humans, I try for Iron Age. It's more difficult with them since I live on the surface when I play them. I usually don't get a mine going because I get bored before I'm done building housing.

Whichever time period had the giant lions and horrible monstrosities crawling up from the deep.
