So currently nations are consistent only regarding to themselves. At times I dream of making more eras, but that would probably cause a lot more problems than it would solve.

LA ermor should be in the MA and both MA ULM and Marignon should be results of Ermors fall. Edis suggestion with the MA Ermor made LA might work with some changes. This is an idea I'm quite fond, but I'm not sure if a fix would be good. A problem might be the troops predating the ashen empire that is not in the EA Ermor (censors etc). If there was more eras I could have the current MA Ermor with its censors before ashen and keep ashen at the time of Marignon.

It might be interesting to mod different quasi-eras based on this description. An alternate EA (pre-600 B.C./B.C.E.) might allow:

EA C'tis
Either Ashdod or Gath (mutually exclusive)
Marverni
Fomoria
Tir Na N'og or Eriu (mutually exclusive)
Kailasa or Bandar Log
...

Alternate MA (600 B.C./B.C.E. to 500 A.D./C.E.) would then include:

EA or MA Ermor (mutually exclusive)
MA C'tis
Marverni
Fomoria
Eriu
EA Agartha
...

LA (500 to 1200 A.D./C.E.) could be:
LA Ermor
MA Marignon
MA Ulm
MA Agartha
LA C'tis
...

VLA (Very Late Age) could have all the Renaissance/techish nations like LA Marignon and LA Ulm, LA Agartha, Jomon, etc.

It would make an interesting set of mods actually. All it really is, is the Single-Age mod with some constraints on which nations you're actually allowed to pick.
