Other games about Airships.

the picture is a hint, the book series is called 'edge chronicles' but it got translated simply as 'sky pirates' into my native russian. Really beautiful illustrations on it, fanciful world and plot/characterisation is alright. 12-year-old me was absolutely rapt (hee hee, I've been waiting a long time to say that). Especially if you are also 12 or have friends/relatives that age I absolutely recommend.

i have never heard of it, will keep it in mind, incidentally i recommend the barsoom series it was written in the late 1800s almost all of it takes place on mars, main character is a former confederate officer, and yes it has airships

I just realized that Civ has a Steampunk DLC, Empires of Smoky Skies. They don't feel quite steampunky, but its a game that involves airships (and landships and flyers).

There were blimps in warcraft, weren't there? Don't know about WoW, never played it, but I definitely remember blimps in Warcraft.

Ah.. goblin zeppelins. They were pretty much the only air-transport unit in the game. I don't know if zeppelins were mounts in World of Warcraft. Never played much WoW myself.


Talking about MMORPGs, Maplestory went steampunk sometime in the past. Their lore/world was never very good and now it's a monstrous sack of unbearable stories. Got no idea what Maplestory steampunk is all about.

But Maple had airships from the beginning. There was an encounter against Balrogs on an airship (man, that was long, long ago) that I remember losing. So, there's another game that features airships.

WoW is a terrible representation of the awesomely fun Warcraft series, from 1 through to Warcraft 3 the throzen throne. There used to be a fair selection of flying units, including goblin zeppelins' and dwarven helicopter bombers, powered by diesel, very steampunk looking.

Then came WoW and vanilla wow before expansion packs was good...

Then blizzard took their book.of lore, and used it to warm their mitts on the pile of £50 notes they were burning to make more lore killing expansions, as their money burning pile grew bigger and bigger....
RIP Warcraft lore....

It's real difficult to keep a good lore in an MMORPGs. Yearly events and expansions screw with the lore. Sometimes, the lore has to change to keep the game "popular". Some MMORPGs even change their lore for monetization purposes.

Which is funny/stupid because a big part of an RPGame is the lore.


It's kinda ironic that Starcraft, which was never too heavy on the lore, has a better story than Warcraft.

[Kamoba]

I can understand lore progression during yearly events, but Blizzard pissed on their own history, bending things which happened in their previous games and twisting things which had been said about the past to better suit what they wanted to sell...

Otherwise I do understand lore progression

Let's just hope Muse never does that. (although, we need a lore to begin with in the first place )

We have lore... Locked away in Erics desk as he laughs at us all thinking we know the lore.. "bwahaha they think humans war for human reasons! Little do they know about the alien overlords brain washing them all!"

I'm forming a raid party for Eric's desk. Lvl 85+, high level priests and thieves wanted.
