Eras, question.

**Kanaric** · August 15, 2007, 05:17 PM

I havn't played this mod in a while and was wondering if, due to the length of time in years this takes over, there will ever be starting eras?

Like in the original MTW you had early, high, and late, is there any plans for adopting that somehow into this mod? This mod is enjoyable but the last time I played it (1.9) there was no way you would get to the renaissance having not yet won the game, lol.

I'm sure if its not possible within the game engine that some kind of batch file could be made to swap in/out the files needed for something like this.

You know ive never thought of that. That was a pretty handy little feature. You could change the year yourself but no one would have progressed in a few hundred years

I know the plan is to make the game more difficult in the next release by making enemies more ambitions in their decissions. At least you miht be able to reach that era in one game... eventually

2.0.0 makes the game harder, but generally if you play your cards right (and don't get swarmed!) you'll probably win before then.

I know a lot of people are asking for different eras and aside from making three different mods its not likely to happen.

actualy there's no need for 3 mods, only 3 different descr_strat.txt and probably 3 descr_events.txt

I meant in terms of work because you would have to balance each faction and/or units three times for each update.

You could always set it up yourself for how you want it in those eras and release it for the rest of us?
