Current Progress​

Beta Version released at 2016/1/15

-All 3d arts are already done
-All 2d arts are done, but still need improve
-The coding is almost done

Compatibility​

-Compatible with all JFD's gameplay mods, and have special support for JFD's Mercenary
-Compatible Pouakai's Enlightenment Era
-Not compatible with overhaul mods
-To new civilizations mods, RER should be able to run with them. However, as RER change the style of Musketman, Landsknecht and Lancer(though it is removed, technically, Reiter is the UNIT_LANCER), if any UU in new civilizations replace those units, may cause some balance issues. And authors may find that some UU would be more historical-properly if they replace new units in RER. It is impossible for me to solve those problems, the only way to solve them is new civilizations mods' author add support to RER.

what is needed now​

-a quote text for the technology Pike and Shot

-sometimes I think the unit name 'Reiter' is too German and 'Tercio' is too Spanish, any better name for them?
