3. Reorganized units' spells to avoid friendly fire.

4. Improved AIs in all races, focused on gathering resources and building larger armies.

5. Air traffic is no longer an issue. Flying units will no longer fly away.

6. Water units will take damage from archers in ground.

7. Ground units have better mobility around other units and structures.

8. Faster gameplay - increments in animation and speed.

9. Rebalanced monarchs, no longer hesitate, and have veteran transformations.

Great things --> Masters degree and a full time great paying job goes hand in hand. Makes life easier I assume? Anyhow, I am rambling...have fun catching up with the posts!

Maybe Im too late to the party but Im only getting one file from any of these downloads. Is new era still available? Just got back into playing it after finding it on gog.

My apologies everyone.

You can now download the mod, music and maps from the first two posts.

Sage

The New Era v5.5 is here!

Check out the first post for download.

nice, play a little Tar

I like the summoning circle, water maps are nice. Ships feels little OP, you made them too fast and they can quite easily take down black dragon (but probably I expect my T4 unit to do all the job ).

the catapult are less deadly and the scorpion have some attack +

Thanks for the feedback Lagi. I'll look into the OP ships from Taros. Which ship took the Black Dragon out easily?
