Was thinking of an idea. Where it's mecha. But no gunpowder or other conventional propulsion. The tech is provided by the Mechsmith Guild. Which dictates to the factions how things are essentially. Since only they can produce the Mana Generaters. Which is really just a particle generator, kinda similar to GN Drives in OO, but not quite so physics warping or gravity defying.
The Mechsmiths also have access to better components. Which they only provide 3 mechs worth to each faction. Pretty much enough for the leaders of a faction.
Each faction produces a cruder version mech components, including the use of batteries that store particles. The Mana Generators are used aboard airships, landships, wartrains, or just in fortifications, to act as refuel stations for these mechs.
While seemingly insidious. The Mechsmiths are actually meant to preserve humanity after the disaster of the previous century's wars. For that reason they basically dictate how wars are fought. If a faction tries to completely overtake another, they no longer provide maintenance for the mana generators. Most of which will break down inside of a few weeks. There's also the threat of providing their enemies more high quality mech components.
I was thinking weapons would largely be melee weapons. Effective due to the fact that mechs in this age are made of a combination of wood and basic steel.
I wanna have some mana particle weapons. Like say a hammer with a mana battery in it. When triggered, it rapidly releases the mana particles out one end, providing thrust. Need to think up more ideas.
