YGWV, of course, but I think its worth pointing out that these things
are both canonical. Indeed, the Loskalmi even have articulated plate,
never mind platemail. Advanced siege engines are another military
feature (although the Lunars aren't bad at this, either, from what I
understand), as are improved defensive fortifications. The non-military
field is less covered canonically, but I'd add spinning wheels (rather
than iron age looms), three-field crop rotation, stained glass, and
horse collars. OTOH an area in which they don't appear to be
particularly advanced is ship-building, judging from the designs in Men
of the Sea.

Not just that, IMO, but those are the important bits for keeping the
flavour, yes :)
