New "Urban" Era

You seem to use 1.0.2 graphics in what you do. Nothing wrong with that in this case, but just in case I thought I'd mention that you should use the latest development branch releases for creating new content. I don't mean that you should recolour the new elves that we have in the dev branch - it's still better to recolour the old elves rather than the new since then your units will automatically look more different from the mainline units, but you should still develop your stuff using the latest release.

I've slowed down coding and started to focus on making the art for my era. I think I'll be done by the end of next week. (Damn Long Weekends really screw up my plans).

Anyway if anyone's wondering it's coming along well. As I said, should be done soon - just have to work on my Gnomes...

I've kind of been all over the place the past few weeks, so I should have the MP era playable by next saturday. I also am considering making a campaign also set in this era, Along with an urban map-pack to use your Urban units in.

I've created a test version of the era, it does not have all of the factions, in fact is only has 2 right now, I hope to publish it tonight or tommorow.

I've created all that i need to for a demo of the era,

Only problem is that it won't let me play it at this point, I'm not exactly sure why. I've followed all of the instructions on the site and i cant select my era from the list yet. Have I given enough information for someone to tell me what im missing?

hmmm... I'm waiting to be able to finish my demo era before I'll finish up the Urban era

Now I have to make a Jarlaxle-based faction to take over your entire era. With an Entreri hero leader.

If you do that I'll have to make a crystal artifact to undermine your takeover, and incite the others in your guild to betray it's leader and go trekking away from such a good idea that shouldn't be taken over.

Actually, quite a good idea. I look forward to campaigns and the like from this. (I really should get around to learning WML and make my own campaign someday. I've got ideas that'd do well for quite a few factions, just haven't learnt WML yet. Someday I will.

And build pretty shiny towers. And unleash blasts of light. And undermine one's clear judgment.

Hmm... actually, the recoloring of older units is probably a better idea then the recoloring of the current units if you ask me. Maybe it's just me however.

Also, I don't think horses (as in the warlord picture) would be used as anything other then a form of transportation--It's rather hard to hold battles on streets with horses.

That is actually mostly what they're for, My initial plan didn't include them as mounted units. I thought that giving them horses would make them better leadership units - then I pulled the leadership ability off of them...

Sorry about the delay

I've been intending to post the test era with two of the factions up for about a week - but:

I discovered Babylon 5! the most awesomest television show ever!

Also, quick question: there are little "?" on the bottom of the list of leaders - what do I do? (It's not the random team button

)

I'm going to try and brush up some of my coding soon too - some little problems with the damage being done.

That probably means you have an invalid id in the "leaders" section in your faction config file - BFW cannot find the unit.
