Sounds about right. Time has shown that powerful people will go to irrationally stupid lengths to keep up an unsustainable inefficient system if it benefits them no matter how destructive it is.

@@neonzombi9928 Actually, I think the idea of a mobile fortress fits very well if you think of it as an evolution from zombie survival tropes applied to a different apocalypse. In zombie survival, the humans usually have to travel from location to location in order to scavenge resources until they can hopefully find a safe zone, which is usually some kind of stationary fortress that can protect them from harm until something happens which forces them to go back on the move. So instead of leaving the safety of the fortress every time to go scavenge, the mobile fortress (a similar idea to wagon forts in eastern Europe in real life) allows survivors to continuously scavenge or steal from other parties from the safety of a strong position. Now over time, if this scavenging in force was the only form of survival done for generations, it might be possible for this idea to expand into larger and more complex moving fortresses and a near religious ideology. The only difference is that in real life, scavenging from the wreckage of destroyed civilization could never supply enough resources to maintain thousands of people, especially not for thousands of years. Unless you are the Mongols, who are always the exception.

@@ColinTherac117 that sounds like the setting of the trains with zombies anime. Also, Mongols at least had other systems of self sustainability such as horse raising, hunting, trading both raw and processed items and many left their old nomadic lives once they settled in lands with heavy agriculture.

@@neonzombi9928 It's a movie and a book, essentially set in a sci-fi universe. I mean, you could also criticize Star Wars in the same vein. So instead of criticizing it for being dumb, then try to criticize it on its own merits. For instance - does the universe obey its own rules. Arguing from a "it must be realistic" point of view will always lead to disappointment in non-realistic universes.

Right. Obviously they know that planes are useful, for greater mobility. Well you know what else would be useful? Small vehicles that can more easily and efficiently overtake prey.

What you’re describing is more of a problem for planes and rockets which are mostly weighed down by fuel. Adding fuel to a rocket means you just added weight which means you might need more fuel and so on.

@@zachkh yes. Mostly. But we aren’t talking about 4-5 gallons. We would be talking about hundreds if not thousands of tons of machinery to power the engines. Once you scale things up that far the returns wouldn’t be enough to make it so much faster than the cities 1/4 it’s size that they can just up and snatch the entire world up one at a time. Legitimately they should have multiple follow tanks that catch other cities for them. And then they creep up at 3 miles an hour and eat them.

@@zachkh It's a problem for every vehicle that uses fuel and has to continuously accelerate itself. Gas mileage in an automobile is reduced when the automobile weighs more, and fuel still has weight when you're using it on an automobile instead of a rocket.

Any artillery piece mounted on london: Anyways, I started blasting back. In the early days, artillery was used to destroy prey cities. (Thats even how this whole idiotic concept of municipal darwinism started). But after time, it became clear that people in captured towns are more likely to have a better fate when not shooting back, and that chasing cities would get more resources when not shooting them to bits before capturing them. The only ones who use artillery against cities are the static anti-tractionists, and the cities on the frontline during the war in book 4 (against anti-tractionists). Btw, you want to aim at the wheels/tracks, not the bridge. If you break enough tracks, you can stop the city, and thereby stop the largest threat it poses. You'd have bad luck hitting the bridge in a war city anyways since its not exposed. Mines are a very viable option.

@@M--001 It's an incredibly bad take on the use of artillery. A huge moving city which hosts so many buildings would be the party day of any real artillery division, as they could hide the artillery pieces in the woods, and spread them out. Landmines and spread artillery using hit and run tactics would stop these behemots in no time. even hitting the bridge and buildings would spread fires all around the city. They wouldn't be able to see their enemy until they already fired hell at them. Also, as the movie shows: Planes. A bomber or attack aircraft would have the time of it's life dealing with such huge target. these Moving Cities would need so many flak guns and reinforced domes that the energy and mainteinance would make them unusable in days.

To be fair, they're much smaller than real cities. No suburbs or greater metropolitan area at all.

We would all love that.

The traction cities were built because a crazed nomad warlord decided it would be wise to scale up his moving fortresses from nasa crawler platform sized to wherever it is now. Geology didn't really matter, since most cities at that point in time were stationary anyways (several hundred years after the war, and emerging from a steam and gasoline powered medieval age). What mattered though was that stationary london was invaded by said crazed warlord and subsequently converted into a giant tank for some reason. The movie did a very poor job explaining why this happened (And so I did as well propably, but its still closer to the real reason)

The fact they didn't need to exist anymore was actually the point. Even members of the traction city begin to realise it is unsustainable but society was too stubborn to change. It is a not so subtle criticism of extreme conservatism. Later books balance this out by criticising extreme leftism with the Green storm and their combination of eco-terroism and maoism.
