I find it hard to believe that there are problems you can't solve with giant airships.
you're right. i bet my cat would be less gassy if we lived at altitude, too
i'm not sure i would change that tho, she seems to enjoy farting on people.
If we made them extremely luxurious and everyone agreed that only the "best" people could use them for travel, I could see them solving a few problems.
As the Total War 3 mod which basically turns the Empire into a ww1-ww2 era power has taught me, if you can't solve a problem with zeplins you aren't using enough of them. Now if you'll excuse me the Karl Franz zeplin armada has some French to purge.
