    I personally loved this passage of when the Emperor visited Mars for the first time; the tech-priests and others reaction to the arrival of the Omnissiah; as it gives us an insight into why the Mechanicum saw the Emperor as their God, a divine being:
    “A silhouette moved within the light, tall and powerful, glorious and magnificent. The light seemed to move with him and as Verticorda watched the figure descend the ramp, a shadow fell across the surface of the plain on which the craft had landed. Though he was loath to tear his gaze from the magnificent figure…light from the storm-wracked skies faded until the only illumination came from the figure as he stepped onto Martian soil for the first time.
    Verticorda felt the collective gasp from the thousands of spectators in his bones, as though the very planet shuddered with pleasure to know this individual’s touch. He looked back down and saw the warrior standing before him, tall and clad in golden armour, each plate wrought with the same skill and love as had been lavished upon his vessel.
    The warrior wore no helm and was fitted with no visible breathing augmetics, yet seemed untroubled by the chemical-laden air of Mars. Verticorda found his gaze dwelling on the warrior’s face, beautiful and perfect as though able to see beyond the armoured exterior of Ares Lictor and into Verticorda’s soul. In his eyes, his so very ancient eyes, Verticorda saw the wisdom of all the ages and the burden of all the knowledge contained within them.
    A crimson mantle flapped in the wind behind the giant warrior and he carried an eagle-topped sceptre clutched in one mighty gauntlet. The golden giant’s eyes scrutinised the blue-armoured form of Verticorda’s mount, from its conical glacis to the aventailed shoulder plates upon which the wheel and lightning bolt symbol of the Knights of Taranis was emblazoned.
    The warrior reached out towards him. ‘Your machine is damaged, Taymon Verticorda,’ he said, his voice heavy and yet musical, like the most perfect sound imaginable. ‘May I?’ Verticorda found himself unable to form a reply, knowing that anything he might say would be trite in the face of such perfection. It didn’t occur to him to wonder how the sublime warrior knew his name. Without waiting for a reply, the warrior reached out, and Verticorda felt his touch upon the joints of Ares Lictor’s knee.
    ‘Machine, heal thyself,’ said the warrior, the purpose and self-belief in his voice passing into Verticorda as though infusing every molecule of his hybrid existence of flesh and steel with new-found purpose and vitality. He felt the warmth of the warrior’s touch through the shell of his mount, and gasped as trembling vibrations spread through its armoured frame of plasteel and ceramite. He took an involuntary step back, feeling the movements of his mount flow as smoothly as ever they had. With one step, he could feel Ares Lictor move as though it had just come off the assembly lines, its stubborn knee joint flexing like new. ‘Who are you?’ he gasped, his voice sounding grating and pathetic next to the mighty timbre of the golden warrior’s voice. ‘I am the Emperor,’ said the warrior. It was a simple answer, yet the weight of history and the potential of a glorious future were carried in every syllable.
    Knowing he would never again hear words spoken with such meaning, Verticorda and Ares Lictor dropped to one knee, performing the manoeuvre with a grace that would have been impossible before the Emperor’s touch. In that moment, Taymon Verticorda knew the truth of the being standing before him. ‘Welcome to Mars, my lord,’ he said. ‘All praise to the Omnissiah.’”
    So there you have it. I can only apologise for the many paragraphs, but it gives you an idea at how GODLY the Big E appears to the people of Mars.

    What always gets me, is that 40,000 years is such a mind bogglingly long amount of time. We sit here and mock Tech Priests for being "staggeringly ignorant" but if you were to actually compare what they would consider "baseline technological knowledge," the laws of physics and such, they would well and truly blow our modern scientists out of the water. A tech priest would have handy understandings of concepts that we don't understand ourselves right now. It's just they are unable to comprehend and innovate to the level of true Dark Age of Technology man, which is well and truly beyond us to an obscene degree.

    Industrial maintenance here, I love the Mechanicus because I know exactly what they are going through. Here are a few examples:
    We run 25+ year old PLCs on a bunch of equipment and when they fault or "lock up" we can either try to navigate the hundreds of pages of old DOS based code to find one stuck bit and attempt to fix it (Which usually causes other problems) or we can just give it the ole "Siemens' Reboot" (Cycle power) and it will run until the next fault.
    When upgrading or replacing Variable Frequency Drives I started noticing that every single terminal on the drives were wired, even if it was for a relatively simple process. Also most of the drives had expansion cards for additional terminals, also all wired. I started tracing the wires out and found that usually 70 to 80 percent of them went to nothing, just dead ended on a terminal strip. When the drives were initially commissioned the installers just ran all the wires and then the engineers programmed the functions for whatever wire was next in line. So every time a drive had to be replaced the job was much more tedious and time consuming for no reason. But that is how the old one was wired so people wired the new one up the same way including expansion cards that were effectively useless.
    We have gantry cranes that operators are supposed to inspect before using, an operator found an issue and called us. When we boarded the crane with him, before he would show us anything, he went to a disconnect on one of the panels, turned it off, and locked it out. We asked him why he did that and he said his trainer told him to do that. He said he did not know what it did or why he had to do it but it was part of the inspection "ritual". The operator boards the crane to inspect the hoist cable, he was locking out the bridge function that has nothing to do with what he looks at. We asked his trainer about it and he said he did it because that is what his trainer told him to do. At least three generations of operator had been locking out a disconnect for no reason and they had no idea why or what it was for. It was just part of the "ritual".

      I used to be in a trade school for game dev as a programmer, and one time I had to teach a game design student how to use Git. I think I literally described it as a ritual to her:
      git status
      git add .
      git status
      git commit -m "Commit message"
      git push
      "git status" is not necessary but a good idea. The words don't need to make sense, just know that this is what you need to do. You can think of it like arcane spellcasting.

      Civil Engineer here and i am going to expand on this. A lot of the necessary math and physics for structures has been automated though simulation programs and code-laws. A lot of the actual brain work that is required for understanding is buried in manuals and 600 pages of tomes of analysis handbooks that most in the market are unaware of. Most of the market works on specific applications and the only necessary knowledge is how to operate them. Universities teach really easy solutions and offer a basic understating, everything else is purely academic. So yeah, the adeptus mechanicus feels like a prophecy, can't wait for the age of Magi.

      Never has a soundtrack for a game over-achieved so hard. It's not just great music which fits the mood of the game, it has such a unique sound that fits the setting so well, and sounds so good, it's like you don't even care if the game is good or not, you just want to keep playing so that the music won't stop! XD XD XD.
      To put it more seriously, the music actually sounds like it's a part of the game, brings the lore to life, and really adds to the immersion.
      Even without the music it's still a solid turn based tactical game.

    I find the "downfall" or "decay" of the Mechanicum absolutely believable. We could hardly design a aircraft today without computer simulations, now apply this to a Valkyrie Dropship. I can also imagine AI comming up with technical solutions humans simply can not bend their mind over. Like a specific, weird, almost biological shape for a fuel injector plate in a rocket engine, or a strange microelectric circuit, that only works because somewhere in the layout magnetic fields overlap and if you try to build it any different it will simply not work.

Because with my understanding of technology and physics today, its simply not that hard.

      @jimdoe9827 Рік тому +2

      As @Jfk2Mr said some groups are more religious than others. Space marines tend in general to revere the Emperor as a man, not worship him as a deity. Take also into account that the Cult Mechanicus is a different religion than the Imperial Ecclesiarchy and Tech-Priests are exactly that priests, not of the emperor per sec, but of the Tiumviterate of the Machine God, the Motive Force and the Omnissiah. In this schema the Omnissiah is correlated with the Emperor, as literally the wisest human possible, the avatar of Knowledge. This is the extent of the common ground between the Cult Mechanicus and the Ecclesiarchy and accommodates a lot of juicy conflict and heretical implications.

    The reason the Imperium largely banned Phosphex and other weapons like it isn't due to any moral concern, but instead because they're just too dangerous to be used properly within imperial doctrine. A turbo-napalm that can only be extinguished by the vacuum of space, that burns through nearly everything, that makes the ground it touches toxic for hundreds of years is just too impractically risky for almost all applications when other, stabler compounds and solutions exist.

    There is some real world bases for this weird technology decay and stagnation.
    During the industrial revolution there was an equation for calculating power to machines from the main drive shaft from a water mill. This assumes that energy was like a fluid that flowed, completely wrong, but the math still worked. The original Tommy Gun was built under the idea that friction increases under some weird relation between pressure, wasn’t true at all and the gun was in reality just a standard blowback design but it still worked in spite of the principle not existing at all.
    So people can in fact make and operate something under a complete wrong idea on how it actually works.

    • @vylbird8014
      @vylbird8014 Місяць тому +1

As far as I know the Lathe Worlds of the Calixis Sector is one of the few places I know of in lore where members of the adeptus mechanicus conduct something like research and design and even then it is still heavily restricted by the beliefs of the cult. They even designed and built a new void cruiser under the justification that the designer didn’t come up with it himself, but saw it in a vision from the omnissiah.
