Btw - speaking of technological superiority - I'd love to see a series based on Turtledove's Word at War books. While the writing was horrible, the concept was great:
An alien fleet arrives during WW2. The alien race are -extremely- conservative and make advances -extremely- slow. When they sent a probe during our middle ages, they assumed they would still encounter folks in armor on horses, not a world with tanks/planes/etc. Technology-wise (outside of the space ships), they have armaments that would be close to our modern times (including helicopters), but they are used to simply landing and taking over with a day or two. Humans are crafty enough to fight them to a standstill by using tactics to help remove the technology difference.
