And one more thing: I modified the first page of this thread. If you are looking for basic information about the era and my plans for the future, you can check it all there.

Your era was amazing!

Continue your great work!

[WindEnchanter]

This is amazing, things looks great! I am impressed with the attack animations.

[cobra]

I really like the look of the era!

Excellent job!

The Magical Eye doesn't level up to the Deadly Eye...

[inferno8]

Strange. In my version it does. Try to download the era again.

And thanks for all those comments. The era looks nice, but it is a lot of work with making animations and art. But it's worth doing it.

The post was a while ago, and I wasn't able to edit: does 0.2.0 work on 1.6? I'm re-downloading Era of Magic from add-ons, and it says I'm downloading 0.2.0

EDIT:

...And now, after I'm done redownloading 0.2.0, it works fine. For some reason, when your era came out, my update addons thing didn't work (I know this because I was updating addons every time I opened and closed Wesnoth, which was a lot yesterday): the version I was playing had Elementalists upgrading into White Mages, there were only Flankers or Trashers or whatever they were instead of the Hidden Face, and no Deadly Eyes.

Well, now I'm playing your updated era. Can't wait to see those animations .

Any chance of seeing new barbarian berserker with a level 2 upgrade in the future? There is no incentive to recruit such a unit if there is no growth potential, his kills will just steal other units' xp. Since it is already very strong, the level 2 can just have more hp and a little bit of tweak. Such as give it marksman weapon special for the berserk attack. Oh, by the way, the ability "cleave" used in the Mercenary era would be a great add on for some barbarian fighter line (including the berserker's normal attack), this kind of things makes them more like barbarians. The standard era dwarf ulf have 4x7 or 4x8 attack when it is level 2, with a good resistance. Making it marksman and cleave would not make it overly powerful compare to standard era as their resistance is not as high and attack not as strong.

Any chance of seeing new barbarian berserker with a level 2 upgrade in the future?

Yes. The Barbarians will be the next faction to rework. The ability "Cleave"? I'll check it. All suggestions about this faction (also the ones posted in the past) will be consider.

The Barbarians are very good in melee combat, but this is going to change. People tell me, that Golblins are useless and I decided to change their unit tree. There will be more archers and special units like Gobbos calling Roc Riders; and War Banners. Also all Cyclops will be modified. I am going to give them ranged attacks (like the Fire Cyclop has).

Edit:
I saw the "cleave" ability and I like it.

There are problems with Ageless Era, when both eras are installed, Era of MAgic doesn't work correct.

[inferno8]

I suggest you to ask mnewton1 about the problem, because this is not my fault. He borrows my units, so if something goes wrong in AE (but EoMa works fine) this must be a problem with his era, not mine.

[WindEnchanter]

Great, once you have a storyline for campaign and finalized units, I can help to translate them into Chinese. (slowly over time.) There is a growing Chinese community playing wesnoth and this is definitely the era they should not miss out.
