This brings up a question: Are we going a wholly technological route, or is magic going to be brought into the mix as well? Will we be keeping some of the current spells? How will we fit reanimation in (and preaching, too, although we could just ignore priests for the most part)? Will magic be a usually good, maleable, or evil force (ie, will magic generally do more good for people, more bad for people, or simply depend on the user)? How, exactly, will magic and technology interact? How long is it until my legion of questions gains sentience and takes over the world? How useful are they?!

I was almost going to suggest a nation with steampunkesque technology fueled by magical means, but I'm fairly sure it's been done before and sounds rather cliche.
