        I don't see how this "destroys the flavor of the game." This makes

that no Tech or Magical advancement happened between the 1st and second
Unhuman war. And it does make perfect since that a race with little magic
would develop in a technological manner.
        The Elves have the powerful magic, so let the Scro have technology.
