Era names

[irrevenant]

Actually AFAIK "most new eras" = The Imperial era, while a lot more new eras (Snow dwarves, Marsh, Extended, Peasant,...) don't even do an assumption of the place nor the time.

Are those eras or are those factions?

I figured an era was a particular grouping of factions and setting.

This is what I consider an era, thus my exclusion of many "eras". I think an era has to create new factions and group them together in some logical way. But technically an era can just be a single faction grouped with the default era for testing purposes.

So, basically, from now on when I refer to "new eras", I mean the Imperial Era dn the Era of Myths. Because those are the only two I consider worth talking about.

Most notably these are also the two that have had the most people working on them, with more time and effort put it. I find that this often makes for a much better era than one guy making a basic faction*, and then sticking it onto default. In fact, these are also the two whose development process was closest to what I would guess that defaults was like, that and their creator (and any contributors) didn't give up half way.

*basic meaning only standing frames, bad art, and hardly any balancing.

I really enjoy the extended era.

I do to, but it's more of an alternative version (one which I enjoy more because the bandits are a separate faction, and because of the chaos faction) with some new units than a whole new era.
