Also looks like there is a black dot on the location of FIRST headquarters.

Idk if this is a coincidence but the new MTG set, Kaladesh is steampunk theme also. Or maybe this is just a coincidence?

Did anyone notice that the narration was mostly a ripoff of the narration in the Stronghold teaser? Could this game just be Stronghold 2?

I think we all noticed. It is a ripoff of Stronghold

So many responses, I may be repeating stuff. From the main wallpaper (FIRST STEAMWORKS Scene 1 (High Res).jpg):

(1) The only human in the scene has a telescope/viewer. The line of site is just below the horizontal vent, and can be viewing the two towers beyond. Human player guides robot around an obstruction?
(2) There is the Escher-esque floating walkway with stairways leading nowhere.
(3) The four smokestacks at the top center remind me of the now demolished "seven sisters" smoke stacks at a Detroit Edison power plant. Although there are banks of anywhere from one to five smokestacks/steam vents.
(4) the pressure gauge is shown twice and each says "single arm". Need two robots, each with a single manipulator" to complete a task?
(5) Nestled below the blimp in the upper left is a citadel that appears incomplete. Some assembly to go with the arm requirement?
(6) There are several repeated images that appear in the main illustration as well as in the margins and below the main floor.
(7) Several images could be derived from scenes in museums such as the Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan and other locales.

And from the workshop scene. . . . . RAMPS !

There may be an endgame involving minidrones.

If we are preparing to take flight, unless there are blimps or hot air balloons, I think this is the only feasible way to incorporate flying robots into the game.

IBM started sponsoring FIRST at a larger level last year:

IBM predicted Steampunk would be a big fashion trend using Watson in 2013:

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Huh, maybe using Watson we can then predict the entire game!
