So, now i have a favor to ask friends , please :blushing: (see the title). And plaese attach links with ur suggestion add-ons thx ,, [mobile user, from Indonesia]

Era of Magic is probably the most graphically cared for, maybe era of the ancients (or something like that - it's connected to Bad Moon Rising campaign) also

As said above, there are very little eras with "complete" animated sprites. If they just have unique base sprites for every unit, it's already pretty darn good! Doing graphics is a huge job, and in the case of add-ons, this relies solely on the shoulders of one (or sometimes two or three) person. Mainline has tons of very good artists working on it and it isn't complete yet, for instance.

Era of Magic hands down. Inferno8 does amazing work in both code and art.

Definitely. If you want a lot of animations, this is the way to go. And it's also been around for a while, so it's been fairly well balanced.

[bigkahuna]

In order (IMO):

Era of Magic - Inferno8 (bunches of factions, great animations)
Archaic Era - doofus01 (primeval, khthon, and ukian [villain campaign units so unbalanced], lots of terrains, unfinished animations)
Era of Myths (vampires and such, unfinished animations)

Thx All

Era of Magic and Era of Myths of course wins... Though I have to say BEEM is a good add-on with them too.

And so you should. There have been many people who have put effort into those add-ons. Even with balancing unlike Ageless era which is basically everything combined.

At the risk of being self promotional I'll put my other era forward as well. Era of Four Moons has non-frankenstined base art for all of the core units though only a few of them are animated.

The original poster's question was pretty much answered, but for the sake of any future user using the search function, I'll say weigh in on Archaic Era's animation status. Maybe it helps.

The animations are not a high priority for me, I've come to realize that I'm perfectly happy with the old 3-frame stuff some would call crap. I'd much rather have a good base frame (and maybe a sensible standing animation), and detailed animations don't add much for the effort they take to make and slowness they produce in game. So, I'll try to get something like 3-4 frames for the Archaic Era sprites, but I've no plans to do more than that.

As for balance, I don't play MP and am not all that fascinated by stats, so Archaic Era will probably never be very finely tuned. Though I do make some effort.

I have tried some era

Era of Magic
Era of Myth
and
Ageless Era

EoMa is great in animations and factions
EoM too

but in Ageless Era ... im , confuse
too many factions
if put RANDOM on them , it end up with imbalance faction ..
and the battle so boring

Ageless is a compilation of most of the UMC's made, thus there ARE many factions.
