Something I really wish for are constructible mechs as part of higher tier tomes.

If you think mechs and fantasy doesn't mix well you really should check out series like (especially) vision of escaflowne. Some game had medieval fantasy mechs like final fantasy (magitek armors in like ff6), White Knight Chronicles, Vanguard Bandits - and I think Super Robot Wars X had quite a few magic driven mechs as well.

OR perhaps as a new ruler type - ancient magitek armor only controllable by a select few. Uuuuuhhh this would be so nice.

You mean Constructs?

The current constructs aren't piloted though. That's part of the fantasy. I could see that the Ironclad has maybe a crew but doesn't look mech-like.

Something like the shredder/steam armor from Warcraft?

I'm keen.

the Rune Gods from Rayearth are also good fits for this concept, spirits embodied as giant hollow metal warriors.

I could see some people maybe being put off by too much "technology" in the setting, but honestly, AoW2 already had the Syron Forceships so high tech science fantasy I think is valid to include as reasonable for the setting.

I mean, nothing there looks remotely out of line with the severing and progenitor golems in particular.

#

I think, as the setting goes, if you went any further past the ironclad/landship idea as far as pure steampunk tech goes, it would feel off. But I think it is pretty clear that incredible True Magitek stuff is well within the setting.

Well that is what I mean.

#

Kinda hard to explain in just a few lines, but.

#

I wouldn't want some "normie" tank or plane, or whatever.

#

But crystals, fancy metal, and clearly fantastic stuff like that?

ah, yes, that is fair

Go all the way, it's already canon.
