The first technological breakthrough that changed Rodentia forever was the invention of crossbows and ballistas, having a reliable ranged arsenal that don't depend on the physical strength of the user directly gave the rodentians the edge they needed to fight back and conquer more land, this era was the first golden age for the Kingdom of the Rodentia, despite never experiencing true peace Rodentia now had space and resources to expand and develop.
The second golden age came when an alliance was struck between Rodentia and the reclusive Mountain Folk who shared their secrets to craft blackpowder, bombs and firearms caused a imense impact on Rodentia, the new technology was embraced wholeheartly, in les than a decade the walls of Rodentia became filled with hundreds of canons of all shapes and sizes, from the army to the humblest farmer everyone has matchlock firearms ready to use at hand, anyone who tries to invade Rodentia's cities now finds under the aim of hundreds of muskets from every window and wall hole available.
