Update: "Nova Aetas v5.0 has been released!"


After months of work, I can now proudly say that Nova Aetas v5.0 is here. The changelog is so large that I've decided to call it v5.0 instead of v4.2.
v5.0 is especially developed with the focus on fixing, polishing and refining the mod. Besides, lots of graphical enhancements have been performed, including the carefully revising of native model textures.

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I got killed and it says "everyone charge!" my teammates manage to finish off the enemies, but I still lost the battle "Your forces was utterly crushed"
 
Hello Quintilius, I played your mod a lot back in the day, I believe it was version 3.0 or something.
Can you please tell me where can I find a changelog for the last version, for 5.0 ? thank you
