@Inspector95 No, the ages are the same for everyone. Having different ages would tear the game asunder.

Just wondering, is Each nation tied to the same Age hard-coded, or can you break the chain making unique games were some nations have plagues and you can choose your policy by reacting to every other nations political, and Situations caused by the ages. you can offer diplomatic help. isolate yourself, isolate them if you have more 4x their army, declare them a scourge to eliminate all whom has been affected. and prob many more reactions and actions you can do just by unbinding nations tied to the same age.

@Linkart I disabled it intentionally because of it's weird status, and to prevent the ai from randomly entering it. It's the type of thing you only play once then don't really want to do again. If someone makes a mod that changes it substantially it would change things. Also, it's meant to be a kind of easter egg anyways, so just making it easy to enter would complicate things. And I also think that when i first made the mod the game UI couldn't handle more than 4 potential next ages at the same time, and it was the lowest priority to keep.

Though you could re-enable it by removing the >TECHAGE6_CRISISHERESY-TECHAGE7_CRISISOLDONES_ADVANCE_REMOVE< tag from the Age6CR Deck.

A crisis only mod has been on my mind and would be quite simple to do. I could probably make one if i got into modding Millennia again.

Glad you're enjoying my mod :).

How do I enable the age of old ones? Are you able to make a mod that forces only crisis ages?
Thank you for this mod. I never would have realized how interesting the crisis ages can be.

@CN--sheep It's a minor visual issue. Ages appear locked until you have enough technologies to unlock them, then they appear as normal.

作为回报，机器翻译。这是一个小的视觉问题。时代将显示为锁定状态，直到您拥有足够的技术来解锁它们，然后它们将正常显示。

我在使用的时候存在bug，在进入第二时代后除了血腥时代其他时代全被锁定了，为什么？
There was a bug when I used it. After entering the second age, all ages except the Bloody Age were locked. Why?

@napamathguy there isn't any save for being ahead of the ai. Take note of which age the ai is in. They might get stuck several ages behind you, especially since the AI struggles with variant and crisis ages.

To rephrase/clarify: There's the normal timeline, the variant timeline, the crisis timeline, etc.

While I'm exploring the various timelines (3rd Age, for instance), what's to stop the AI from completing the requirements to advance to the 4th Age and cut short my fun?

@napamathguy Tech Requirements are still as normal. They can't break out of ages early.

Question: If I want to explore multiple variant timelines, what's to stop the AI from spoiling my fun by breaking out of an age early?

will check it out but the locks on the other options were red in color where the crises one was silver or the normal color run into. may have been a visual only but on the plague one had the requirements and was ready to move but only got the one option. Be a while before test as have to finish current game. thanx for response.

jsnider193 did you research the required technology count to enter the next age? It displays as if the other ages are locked until you have the technology count, then all are open. It's purely visual.

Try double checking this. This mod should only have issues with mods that change how tech progression works.

Hi, not using any slow speed mods but this mod forces me into one of the critical ages even though have requirements to enter age of heroes. In another play it forced me into the Plague age (had plenty of sanitation and no count showing). Only mods using are the ones that increase road distance and city separation. Once finish the current game might try this with no other mod but it seems that it and other mods might not play nice.

@GRIMZONE What other mods are you using? What game version? (Beta or release)

Which slow speed mod are you using? PresidentWHitmore's version changes certain age requirements, so it seems likely that's the conflict origin.

age of alchemy also lets me move to other ages. It seems it is just the age of enlightenment that forces me to go to age of ignorance. I am profoundly confused

hey, idk if i am doing something wrong or if there is a mod conflict. I 360 something turns into a game using the ultimate slow speed mod along side this one and I made it to the age of enlightenment but I am locked out of progressing from any future age other than the age of ignorance. I loaded an older save and if I go through the age of heresy I can then progress to other future ages but I cant find any other solution. If anyone has any advice on what I could do it would be greatly appriciated.

@Domenicus forced crisis ages is incompatible with the ages being completely free to choose from.

I liked the forced into crisis ages mechanic, it made sense

Thank you for update！

I might add support for age of old ones back

@eternalnoob in this mod access to the age of old ones has been removed completely, for the sake of simplicity.

sirkerry the Age of the Old Ones follows on directly from failing to stop the heretics in the Age of Heresy - it's not a choosable Age like the others. It's a lot of fun though!

@sirkerry it doesn't seem to fit in the age transition menu when all the other ages are also accessible, it has weird requirements and is really just a gimmick age. If i had kept the normal way to access it it would be an exception to the "no locking" rule. In addition you'll really only go for it one time anyways, since it's not really fun to play in and ends the game early. It also would make the achievement way too easy.

Yeah, Ive tested another game with Open beta selected for launch and its working just fine. It seems that bug appears only when you launch the game in standard mode.

Why is the Age of the Old Ones inaccessible?

@Johnson The bug does not happen on my end. I am however using the Beta Branch. Are you using the standard branch?

Switching to beta might fix the issue.

@Johnson i'll investigate it

Heya, after the last patch Ive encountered the same bug as when using the My Timeline mod. Basically when you pass from Age of Discovery to Age of Alchemy, there is one turn when the arcana is spawning on the map but you don't actually advance at the Age of Alchemy and the next turn you change the era but you cannot spawn any alchemists to harvest the arcana.

@The360MlgNoscoper Sweet thanks, been trying for age of heroes for a while but sometimes the landmarks are nowhere to be found. Keep up the good work.

@Null They don't!

do mods effect achievements in this game?

@Juhius That is totally doable. Though some transitions would be slightly different than usual.

Any chance for an alternative version with the requirements still present?

Great fun! Thank you for this. Straight from Age of Plague to Age of Intolerance - brilliant!
