I see all the memes about guillotines for the rich, funny in spirit, but actually building one in the town square is not practical. They take a ton of materials, they are huge, and they do not even work reliably. Would it not make more sense to build one from metal with hydraulic pistons or something? I am not a machinist, but a more mobile unit you could wheel into a square to decapitate a few effigies seems about as effective for sending a message, and easier to remove or relocate if needed.
I thought they mean it for the equipment, that it does not wear out so fast
If your execution equipment is wearing out from overuse then that raises further questions that a society should probably think about.
well I don’t know how many uses it takes to wear out a decent guillotine, from my part it could be good if it can do 5 turns. no idea
