Editing Age of Enlightenment (section)

==Enlightenment inspired Games, Factions and Settings==
* While not set in our world but the [[Age of Sigmar]], the lore of the [[Kharadron Overlords]] follows a certain pattern which caters to the Age of Enlightenment, with the coming of Chaos and the abandonment of their gods and allies being something akin to the religious wars, plagues and social strife which ravaged Europe during the late medieval ages, many duardin were forced to migrate to new territories, like the Europeans of the early modern age these refugees were forced to reevaluate their beliefs and culture, and, like them, they shifted from putting their faith no longer in traditional religious systems and absolute monarchs, but in technological development and plutocratic meritocracy. During the five centuries of the Age of Chaos the Kharadron Overlords not only survived the onslaught of the Dark Gods but thrived, building sky-cities and floating ports, developing scientific weaponry and tools based on the substance known as aether-gold and establishing tradelines among them, by the beginning of the Age of Sigmar they are arguably the most technologically advanced race of the setting, with energy-projected weaponry, armoured airships and a set of laws which allows them to pull back from doomed battles and democratically choose or demote, without shame or blood, their own leaders.
* As you might expect, there are plenty of tabletop games set during the Napoleonic Wars. Some of the bigger names are:
** Sharp Practice (a company-level game published by TFL, who have also recreated the original ''Kriegsspiel'' used to train Prussian officers)
** Black Powder (battalion-level game by [[Warlord Games]] that can be scaled up to army size if you're insane enough)
** Black Seas (Napoleonic naval combat, also by Warlord)
** Chosen Men (skirmish-level game by [[Osprey Games]])
** Bataille Empire (you know how those psychos that shat out [[FATAL]] claimed it was incredibly historically accurate and insanely detailed? This is what that actually looks like, but for the Napoleonic Wars. The book has rules to let you model every aspect of a Napoleonic engagement, down to tailored army lists for specific battles, and is designed to work with any collection of miniatures you might have.)
