At that point I'd have just tied you up with Enkidu and thrown you in the back of my alien space plane thing or something.

Interestingly, I'd put Lancers NP somewhere around being similar to Shakespeare and Semiramis, though nowhere near as powerful due to significant reasons

The cutoff point is basically "If they actually existed" (As Thomas Edison, Tesla, Geronimo, Columbus, etc were summoned), or if not real, long enough ago that people actually believed them to be real.

And servants summoned from recent times are generally way weaker unless they have the extreme levels of fame or some gimmick.

Long enough for the possibility of it being real to come into effect. The latest literary hero we have is Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes. But like all literary heroes the justification is that the guy was real and actually existed, the grail just augmented him with power from his legend. It's the same way Vlad III gets vampiric traits when summoned due to his legend of being Dracula, despite not being a vampire in life. Heroes are influenced by their legends and so for literary heroes you have the actual person the story was based on being given traits and powers from those stories.

Early 1900's I'd say usually say, unless they're cornerstones of culture, say, for example, the writinga of C.S. Lewis or Tolkien. But most people disagree with me on that latter bit.

So pretty much like say... I dunno Hitler was a servant. He'd be pretty powerful compared to most modern servants as he has extreme levels of fame(Infamy)
That would suck if Hitler was a servant to be honest :/

Mostly because EVERYONE knows Lord of the Rings is fictional, you can't summon Legolas rofl.

Hitler as a servant would be badass. I've always wanted to be Rommel as Rider. Blitzkrieg motherfuckers.

Caster. Would be able to use norse magic because reasons. Also genderbent. Because not only Nasuverse, but also because the Americans actually tried to do it to him.

The japs are way ahead of us when it comes to genderbending Hitler.

But it shouldn't be based upon believability. It should be based on the effect on culture and the love of the people. But whatever, they can do what they want with their bloody series.

It's based on reality. There isn't any truly fictional servants in Fate. Every "fictional" servant did exist. It's like Jesus in real life. It's common knowledge that Jesus was a real man and did actually live. The myth comes from him being the son of god and performing miracles. The Grail blends the two. They take the real person who really did live and then give them the powers and traits from the mythos surrounding them. So even if that person was just a normal man in life, as a heroic servant he's more like his legend describes him.
You can't have a truly 100% fictional servant, though. Which is why things like Lord of the Rings aren't possible, because that's just pure fiction. There is no real human that Aragorn or Legolas were based on that the grail could empower. So they can't be summoned because they never existed.
