This mod was inspired by the Extended/Longer Eras mods, but with a variety of changes aimed at addressing common issues experienced with those mods. It attempts to make researching all techs for each era take around 200 turns, but keeps training units and constructing buildings (except World Wonders) much faster to encourage larger armies and more warfare throughout. A comprehensive list of all the changes are included in AeonChangeList.txt in the mod's folder, and are also posted below for reference.
I also recommend downloading my other mod, Ancient Ruins Expanded, and whoward's 2 UPT mod. The former was designed to be included in this mod, but I decided not to force it on people; the latter makes the unit spam, especially in later eras, much more manageable.
