[LA Nation] Aria: Age of Revolution | v1.1.1 patch

"So, is this mod the prequel to Aria The Escalation?"
It is not. Both are spin-offs based on a separate original setting. This is how the same characters appear in both mods despite being wildly disparate in timelines.

"You need to take another look at the custom cataclysm."
Hi, thanks for pointing this out, I forgot to set it back to 100 turns after testing it. I have pushed an update with this fix, plus some balance changes based on suggestions taken up from the comments.

So, is this mod the prequel to Aria The Escalation?

You need to take another look at the custom cataclysm.
After enabling it the message that it is disabled still shows up (confused me quiet a bit).
Also it began almost instantly, the 'Cataclysm has come.' event showed up 1 year in, preceded by drain scales.

I played as Caelum with thrones victory and Horror Cataclysm disabled, if that is relevant.

Thank you for pointing this out, this will be fixed in a future update

Just noticed a bug: Dragoons start the battle as size 3 and then switch to size 2. Probably should be 5->3 if I understand what you're doing there.

Then that person is someone generic, like a general

but as a mortal someone will replace them to take their role

An addendum to avoiding friendly fire, I just remembed that cannon AoE is fire damage, so if you cast some fire element resist spells on your troops, like Fire Fend, then you can *reduce*, but not outright prevent cannon friendly fire.

"Also any tips on how to reduce friendly fire from artillery, since my volkstrum and pike kept dying from artillery?"
Unfortunately, the most you can do in this game is set your cannons to Hold and Fire Archers.
In the 2 turns that they are holding, they will actually not shoot at archers yet, so they should fire 1 volley at frontline units. After that, it's just hoping the enemy doesn't run out of archers or the friendly fire starts happening in earnest.

"And will there be option to recruit General of the Artillery and Grand Marshall of the Royal Guard. If they somehow die?"
They are mortals, so unfortunately not. The Queen and Empress being recallable as gods is already stretching it a bit, but it's a compromise with the game system. Maybe you can twiceborn or simulacrum them somehow.
