It makes sense, but I got somehow confused by the fact that the tanks, with their spider-like capacities, were the same during the flashback and during Felicia's battle. But if the world had been at war ever since the Old Era, it's not that surprising that the technology somehow stagnate.

Spoiler:

I would hardly call the tanks in Felicia's flashback the same as the old era tanks. Thats like saying a WWI biplane is the same as a stealth fighter because they both fly and are used in combat. In Felicia's flashback the tanks walked, but not extremely fast, and they did not appear capable of climbing buildings or doing the rapid aim and fire movements of the old era tanks. I suspect that one fully operational old era tank with a trained crew could probably take out an army of tanks like the one Felicia was in. And I would imagine that there have been many periods of war and peace since the ancient era.
