Very good extension !!!

I love the idea to keep the default faction and to add some and to balance them.

I will pratice this era. The falcon of sarasen is missing. You just have to put the default griffon.png in the download.

I test a little the chaos faction.

Maybe adept close combat damage and marauder range damage are a stonger beacause at night it's a real carnage.
You can reduct by 1 or 2 the damages.

in addition to this marauder are to fast. There ability to avoid zone of control and there good stats at low price make them too good.
Maybe one move less.

I already updated the Aragwaith & Kalifa (ex Saracens), btw i haven't finished yet with the other units, so it is not released yet.
I'm very interesed about testing your balancing changes.

Here comes v0.5 :
- all units should work cleanly with wesnoth 1.1.4+
- some cleanups
- some balance/faction updates (i'm too lazy to list them all) :
- updated the kalifa to Default_dev v0.1.6c
-I added some falcon images from FtF to the Kalifa Falcons, so actually they look like falcons :)
- actually i used the unused 'kalifa' race
- some new race/movetypes in the Chaos faction
- some balance changes in the Aragwaithi, Chaos, Sidhes Factions

Wow :shock: . I like the new version very much.
The Dark Elves are very nice, but I think they'll need some defense changes.

Some of this evil and mad bugs are still there. :? . Invisible attack icons, are in the mainlain game, too, (nothing special :P ) but sometimes the enemy unit don't strike back (yes, I've posted that some time ago), where the the unit should be able to do that. That is very mad if you are attacked by berserker. Does that happens at other eras or campagnes, too?, should that be fixed until the wesnoth-version 1.2.0 is realeased?

Yes the dark elves are nice, but currently highly unbalanced, especially the fighter :)
They need some rebalancing.

Btw i haven't had any of the problems your report (except some units don't have an icon for every attack). Could you describe more precisely your problem (with a example) ?

Hmm, I think I've fixed the problem with the attacks.
I've copied the "All Factions Era" (yes, its very old), and the "middle earth" era in an other folder and removed the from the ./wesnoth/data/campaigns folder. Now all works clearly, again :D .
But I think that was a very strange bug... :?

Probably some of your units were overriden by the All Factions Era whose .cfgs are now obsolete an causes that kind of problems.

Yeah the Dark Elves need to be balanced, however I may be the one writing the campaign, but I'm not the one who did original stats. I can't remeber who did either it was Belwar, ILikeProgramming, or Assassin.
Fear me! For I am higher level than you!
