You mean the unit evolving from the orcish grunt? As far as I know, this unit is an addition first appearing in Achaic Era, but the autor from Ageless Era (which includes Archaic Era), has messed up some code, making it avaible in mainline. This however produces OOSes if playing a mainline game against someone who doesn't have Ageless, but I have reported this issue and it should be fixed in the next realeased of Ageless.

Precisely. It will cause error messages to pop up everywhere, and prevent you from finishing your multiplayer match. You are of course free to use it in singleplayer, if that is your wont.

Something also worth noting is that having ageless era installed will cause OOS with lvl 1 grunts. If you have ageless era installed, and your opponent recruits a mainline grunt, then you get an OOS. While not a huge deal, it's problematic in competitive games (Because you effectively know when your opponent recruits a grunt). So if you are going to be playing ladder or other competitive games, you should not have ageless installed.

Do I understand this correctly: Even in the Standard Era, the grunt is changed if you have the Ageless Era installed? This seems strange.

I would imagine it has something to do with a conflicting similar named unit in Ageless... :hmm: (I don't even play ageless though, so I'm just speculating.)

I have fixed it. It will be in the next update. I used the advance_from tag so it affected to grunt. I forgot it would do that :oops:

I believe I am updating Ageless Era in the next few hours.

Oh, good. Maybe I will take a look at the Ageless Era now.
