One thing that seems odd: People keep comparing the world of DF, and it's tech, to our world.
DF has megabeasts, all sorts of lesser beasties, (soon to have) magic, multiple warring meta-races, demons, and various other factors. Why would it's tech development be similar, when there are different things to worry about?
