He didn't veto tanks, did he? Just missiles and nukes...
I'm very glad for it. But what about...nuclear tanks?
That is the stupidest looking tank I have ever seen. Hell they didn't even armour the treads meaning a single well placed charge renders it immobile and a giant nuclear powered artillery target.
Also probably incredibly prone to roll over.
As per the state of the world; I'll tell you what your character would know.
1. Oro, according to current knowledge and myth, is the result of untold atrocities. The land that would become the heart of Oro was so steeped in blood, death and madness that it attained a twisted half-life of its own. The desires and fears which split that blood and bred that madness still drive it, even now. The gallows stood and sought out new men to hang.
2. In the past, just long enough gone that the very last living members of the generation that witnessed it have all finally died, mankind nearly destroyed itself. The exact reasons and methods for this are extremely hotly debated, and you'll get very different interpretations depending on who you ask, even within the same civilization. The Church's position is that the sin of the old world lead to the creation of unholy things which turned against their creators. They are annoyingly vague about what this means.
3. The tech available is an odd mix of artifacts from the past, oddities from the present, and divine objects created by the church. The old lead slingers of the past are effective on the stalking horrors from the north and the unsouled men that harvest the man-fields to the east, but against the demons of Oro, they are no more effective than thrown stones. The weapons of the church, those blessed and faithful in design, are the only ones that deal respectable damage.
