Hmm, Kristoffer mentioned that some themes have been merged, and also that early, middle and late versions of Caelum are quite close to each other... And much earlier, in one of the dev diaries, "Caelum now has it's three themes almost finished. Now I like the raptor theme, not just the idea."

So, does this mean that Caelum has wider range of magic (some Raptors) in all of its themes? Or have the Raptors become closer to the other Caelumians?

You could have 'Age of the Tuatha' before Last of the Tuatha. Tuatha units would be recruitable everywhere - but no longbowmen, bards or monks.

BTW, I think that it was mentioned in a dev diary that the late era is an "unit era" so I guess that many of the nations have stronger units, steelier plate armors and less potent mages.

Yes, I recall that too, so if late era means the advent of mechanical powers and thus heavy armored units, etc. Which one is the high magic era? Early era, were powers are still primordially raw and mould the face of the earth?

I wonder whether the available magic spells will change with the era one plays in, i.e. mechanical men are only available in late era, while the demon summonings from the early era got forgotten slowly... That would be interesting!
