Are you planning on doing a video like this about the industrial revolution? I'm building a new world that is in the midst of a magical industrial revolution.
I have thought of a Renaissance which will take place during the time of my story(but for magic instead of science.) This is for the human race as one of the main characters finds that a fighting style taught to him by his Father is actually an ancient for of magic known as the divine dances, Dances for the gods. This will change human society/ies because humans were seen as weak by the other races, so this gives them the chance to go toe to toe with other races. This completely changes the economy as the humans will be able to Conquer other kingdoms. The character whose father was the second last user of the dances would start to make a new form of sculpture (A hobby of his) known as the dancing gods style, this style will show gods with swords in battle stances. Others will see this and start replicating it in paintings and sculptures alike and will start performing the dances as both a war form and a dance form.
I like it that you remind us to also keep patronage in mind during worldbuilding. In my worlds The Jenima Chronicles and The Tergaenae Chronicles they play a role as well. In The Jenima Chronicles (which is a tiny MORPG I'm developing) it plays a very important role (originally inspired by indeed The Medici's and Memoirs of Geisha, yes, I know, the movie and the book are ..... controversial right now). In The Tergaenae Chronicles it plays a role, but not yet a big role in the main series. In a spinoff book (possibly a future series, knowing myself :D ) it will probably play a much bigger role, so I will need to further develop it for this world as well. 🤔Magic not as a science, but perhaps combined with patronage, intertwined with art, as you say. I think that's closer to both my worlds 😃 Thank you again for another very interesting video!

Europe would never had reclaimed ancient Greco-Roman knowledge if it wasn't for the Muslim world and golden ages of medieval era. We need a fantasy book that reflects that historical moment
One thing that I can't really agree - Church was single biggest patron of art in times of Renaissance, which is kinda obvious as church had the most money and with some popes coming from families like Medici, this in turn resulting in other popes trying to outdo their predecessors. Yes, Church pushed for some themes and was against others but there was always a way: "its mythological scene" solved almost all questions regarding art pieces. In science, Nicolaus Copernicus was in fact priest himself, reaching quite high rank indeed, despite studying and doing science his whole life. He famously arranged to publish his astronomical studies after his death to be safe, but there were other studies he published earlier, for example in economy. The idea of Church as extremely backward and holding people back is, in fact, result of XVII th and esp XVIII th century where it indeed was the case, especially in countries where church became political enemy of more progressive political movements due to support for monarchy.
I'm not sure I follow? Are you saying the church didn't accuse Galileo of heresy for espousing Copernicus' theory? Because it is very well documented that the church did absolutely accuse him of heresy.
"Why did Feudalism fall?" *Insert shitpoat about Chad Longbowmen peppering 60% of French knights with arrows while one particular Essex lad ravaged Italy with his mercenary band* Jokes and English pride aside the Renaissance, even before Luther, had a lot of religious upheaval. As in "take a shot every time some wierdo tries to create a new version of Christianity and you'll die of alcohol poisoning." Lollards, Hussites, Adamites, oh my. In particular i reccomend looking into one "Savanarola." Wierdo threw out the Medici, tried to institute a theocracy, and burned a lot of non-religious art (and art that used images of nobles as reference points)
When you mentioned old vs new would make a perfect setting for a RPG the embrace the new Ezra stick with the old ones it's up to you
Reminds me of Arcanum: Of Steamwork and Magick Obscura.

I am actually, it's already uploaded, should be available for general consumption in three or so weeks.
@@JustInTimeWorlds - i look forward to it.

That's a super interesting approach to a Renaissance. I really like the divine art angle, that's excellent.

U did promise it! Love it, just lovely for afternoon brake lol
Hope you enjoyed it! Age of Sail dedicated video coming next week :)
What do you think of Mage priest teaming up with Rogue Mages for a common enemy
I could definitely see an underground organization forming with mages allied with criminals.
Thank'z Very! INTERESTING 🤔💭🥝
I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the super!
if no one else has said it re: magic vs religious control, that immediately made me think of andrastianism from dragon age’s setting

Hahaha, truth! If I included all the Christian Reformation shenanigans, this video would be over an hour.
