So... when does technology advance?

I'm on turn 90 on the early campaign... and still I can't build all the awesome units that I saw when I was looking over the factions. It's getting kind of boring making all of my armies entirely out of Italian Militia. I really enjoy 6.3 in every other respect; other then that perhaps my generals should be a bit more fertile

You have light men-at-arms, pavise crossbowmen, feudal knights etc. in the early era plus some decent merc not just crappy urban spearmen. Check the descr_event.txt file and see when the respective armors are invented, when the gunpowder was invented when the pike and shot warfare started. The numbers are dates counted down from 1100. So if a date is 100, that means 1200. I think the date is not TURN but year. So no matter you change the turn value in descr_strat, you may not probably mess the events up.

DURR! I used to be a mod maker on R:TW, why didn't I think of that!? *stroke of genius!* Thanks

P.S Descr_events for anyone who wants to know. And if your playing Early, it will take around the year 1220 for the more advance units to start appearing (A.K.A, the late campaign!)
