Excatly Daynarr. In my mod, C'tus dosn't have a late eara and I would rather have no misima than no desert tombs.

[edit] Looks like we have the same solution

Btw, short name is the name you see when you select nations for new game and is located before ','.

So, for C'tis it's "C'tis, Desert Tombs" and only C'tis there is short name. If you name them to something like "Desert C'tis" they won't collide with any other nations and you can move them between eras at will.

I used Early <name of nation> for all early nations and Late <name of nation> for all late era nations. That way I can place all together.

There are no nations in any other era if you use mine.

Btw. I posted all this as a sort of tutorial on how to move nations between eras for everyone else who wants to do this.

Your solution of basically switching LA and MA C'tis is good solution for this particular case, of course.

Tell me, did no notice that you have to redo the description and summery? I found that the nation played fine but in the start chose nation screen it just said no description availible.

Yes, it's one of the reasons why I didn't release my mod yet. All nations lose their descriptions when you use it.

I figured out why, its because you're changing their names. Or epatath (however its spelt) or more likely both. Fortunately I was mistaken when I thought I had to define the name to switch era so I get the description back

If you drag dom3.exe onto notepad or emacs or whatever you can copy and paste the descriptions. Easiest way to find them would be to search for a sentance

Now back to figureing out how to set unwanted magic paths back to zero after a copystat...
