still need some feedback, at the moment I'm just adding new units and balancing existing ones. What don't you like/ do you like? Any units need changing, don't like some of the leveling paths? I have received very little feedback which makes it difficult to improve my Era.

I don't like how you skip around with levels, for example, the Harpy line goes from L1 to L2 to L7 witch not only is confusing but it also violates RIPLIB.

I'd like to say that I enjoy what I've seen of this era so far. It's nice that the era has so much detail and work done already. I look forward to seeing what becomes of it. If it weren't so vastly different from normal Wesnoth, I'd have marked it for inclusion into my ANLU project. :)

So thank you for putting so much work into this era, and incidentally for saving me from extra work.

thank you both for your input, I am currently making the leveling more simplistic, i.e. 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4

I'm hoping to eventually make units go up to level 5/6, but I agree that the drastic skips in levels dont make much sense. It will take a while to upload the fixes because a lot of rebalancing has to be done (due to the difference in upkeep and exp give outs)

Yeah thats the problem i found, i'd get a army of about 5 lv 7's and the AI sends 10 lv 1's and as they kill them automatically level up about twice sometimes and going from ebign the strongest to the weakest in about 2 turns.
