Let me guess the main reason why you like New Era; . . . Grove Guards. That's why I like it. First time I played New Era, I went for a Great Black Bull (very good super combatant).

P.S. I also think there should be one armored unit of Minos, and one sacred, naked unit of minos. This would be inline with the idea that the sacred guys are throwbacks to the old days, while the non-sacred guys don't care about that stuff and just pile on the plate.

It wouldn't be difficult to add that, using a small mod. Just a slight edit to each unit is really easy.

I'm really liking new age. I restarted on the ME map (had to try an ME map) and started in Mordor. The income from the wasteland sucks, but there's a lot of choke points that the AI loves to batter itself against.

I finally broke out and found Abyssia's home, which I stormed thanks to the minos. I'm going to have to spend a bit of time consolidating and building magic items - my guys are feeling rather nekkid right now. :-)

I got one great hero as a random event - the harpy queen. She comes with a supply of harpies that seems to keep growing most of the time (though not when she moves, I think). Basically, I have a flying spellcaster with a move of three, 2 nature and 2 air. Once I build some items, that should be 3 air and 4 nature, but either way she's one of the best support units I've seen in the game.
