Hey, don't you have Summer Palace icon? Why you no show in the Tech Tree?
In that case sorry, anyone wanting to modify the Surveyor or Explorer beyond the scope of this mod should go to the ExCE thread instead and discuss there.I'm fairly bitter about you overlapping our interests with the Explorer and Surveyor, so you could at least not suggest that the overlap should be made more pronounced, and instead direct such a thought to ExCE's thread, where it might be implemented. Thanks to your prompt which demands ExCE's tribes be re-shuffled, I'll be needing new features
The Knight comes right at the end of the Medieval Era and the Cuirassier comes right at the beginning of the Enlightenment, so I don't really think there's enough room in there for another. The Knight serves as the main cavalry in the Renaissance, otherwise it obsoletes too quickly.I know that, but there is no Renasissance main cavalry unit now, why not fill this gap?
Because I wanted to wait until I got Jan's Versailles icon to update the Wonder atlasHey, don't you have Summer Palace icon? Why you no show in the Tech Tree?
So, is EE still on track for later this September or has the release been pushed further back? Also, is it possible to have a EE Eras mod? (Like the ones made by BlouBlou)
Mod support (for Modders):
In order to add support for the Enlightenment to your mod, first add the Enlightenment as a reference using the below ID:
Mod Title: The Enlightenment Era
Mod ID: ce8aa614-7ef7-4a45-a179-5329869e8d6d
What is needed for support will depend on the nature of your mod, however for a simple unique unit change for a civ historically set within the Enlightenment Era you can follow the example code written by Sukritact here in order to change the unique unit of a civ to a more appropriate one within the Enlightenment. As long as the file is properly added (the same way in which an XML file is added to a mod) and the Enlightenment is set as a reference then this format will update the unit to replace one from the Enlightenment. Other stats can also be added easily using the same format, and will only update when the mod is active.
Pretty much the same as in the OP and the support file linked within, only instead of Unit in the relevant areas it's Building, and the codenames change accordingly:
What sort of thing do you have in mind? I've just updated the Eras XML file with ERA_ENLIGHTENMENT added in between Renaissance and Industrial - TXT_KEYs of the Eras post it have been moved down one, so the Industrial era is now TXT_KEY_ERA_5 instead of TXT_KEY_ERA_4 but I think that's about it.Any chance at a bit of a peek at the part where you define the new Era, and what you had to do to the other eras? So that I can begin to figure what I will need to provide code-accomodation for within my Era Buildings mod ?
Everything from the Industrial era onwards has been moved two columns to the rightAnd any changes to tech tree code (especially the xy grid placements of the later-era techs)
I understand that much, but is there an area in which we can see what the reference names of the buildings? I don't want to specify WEIGHHOUSE only for it to be WEIGH_HOUSE or something of the sort.

Janboruta drew the Enlightenment Era splash art in today's stream, actually, so that has been taken care of.Has any thought been put to a Era Splash Screen yet? A quick google search shows a few nice possibilities;
