Eras done for balance purposes?

So that the players can choose whether they want magic merrymaking or armies of strrrrrrong men clashing on the battlefield.

I thought Kristoffer was just feeling creative. He wanted to show a progression of each nation into something else. How did Ermor go from a nation of men into a nation of undead. How did Ulm go from farmers to heavily armed troops. And Im guessing the decline of Pangaea.

I like the idea that you can pick the early era for a more magic heavy game and the last era is more conventional armies (at least, that is the theory).

But I would want to be able to play any nation against any other nation regardless of era, if I felt like it.
