I made a choice between “starting on time” and “getting enough sleep.”

Sleep won, as it often does. I do wish I’d been up to get the theme percolating in my mind earlier, though.

So, ancient technology, huh? Time to do some research. As a cop-out I could go for ancient game technology — or so I did consider, but our most ancient games, Chess, Go and Backgammon, are quite difficult to implement very fast.

Ancient weapons technology is under consideration. I’d prefer building something instead, though, but we shall see.

In any case, it’s brainstorming time!
