The age of early gunpowder and sophisticated mechanics, circa 1350 to 1830.
Technology
Metalworking has made great strides, allowing for tensile steel. Weapons and armor can now be worked into large plates suitable for plate armor or thin, flexible blades. Gun barrels become possible and gunpowder comes into general use, though guns are still slow-loading. Metal springs can store mechanical power and metal cogs allow sophisticated devices.
The archetypical clockwork culture is France of the Three Musketeers, in the early 17:th century. It covers roughly the period from 1350 to 1830.
