will this mod have eras?

[Matthæus]

will this mod have eras like vanilla -meaning early and late units- 2 types of bodyguard units?

[Soulghast]

I don't think so. Maybe, but I am not the right person to answer I guess. The mod is about Vikings, so don't expect plate armour and gothic knights.

About eras, hardly. It will be one campaign from 785 to(I don't remember). It will include a new campaign map.

[Matthæus]

no i did not mean litelary medieval eras. i meant scripted events that will make better units appear (marian reforms in rtw, eras in mtw2)

[Soulghast]

I don't know, but probably not. Or maybe yes. I don't know exactly, ask tnick777 to get more information.

[tnick777]

I dunno that's a good question.

I do like the idea of having new tech come in.

[Antagonist]

There's a lot of potential in that idea IMO, quite a few of the factions evolved their tactics and equipment over the time-period we cover. Different bodyguards (where called for) are nice as well but they may not be necessary or appropriate for every faction.

Does anyone know how easy this is to acheive? I seem to recall some early discussion making it seem fairly easy to make new units available at certain dates etc., but I'm not certain.

It is quite easy, don't worry. If you take the decision, I can do it.

I'm glad to hear it. I'm wondering though, is it strictly limited to eras (ie you define two or three different dates to unlock a new era for units) or can you actually specify that this unit becomes available in 805, this unit in 963 etc. on a per-unit basis?

Either is good, but I recall some early discussion at the Org that the latter might be possible.

In fact, the era system works with events. If you have an event on 860 let's say, you can put that this unit will be available from this event and so on, or that this units won't be available after this event and so on. Understood?
