Lovely little era with elementals, unicorns, flying metal birds and more. Made by fmunoz very long ago, it's units have been later used in Era of Myths to form "elementals" faction, and from there eventually copied to multiple aggregate eras. I think that tarnished it's atmosphere quite a bit.

Based on the Path of Summoner era, it uses the same scheme of factions composed of 2 magical schools, uses PoS's sprites and some unit design. What it's got more is combined-element units, modest spellcasting system, summoning units anywhere and above all it's more balanced and fun.

Hello there. The purpose of this page is to promote some visual mods & add-ons I've been involved with. There will also be some wesnoth-related notes.

things I contributed to & willing to admit it

00536_brazier-creation.pngthe Path of Elements (thread)

Based on the Path of Summoner era, it uses the same scheme of factions composed of 2 magical schools, uses PoS's sprites and some unit design. What it's got more is combined-element units, modest spellcasting system, summoning units anywhere and above all it's more balanced and fun.
    --currently not available in add-ons.

Visual mods

This mod lets you start any standard map with it's terrain changed to snow terrain without compromising gameplay*. The macro can be easily used in non-Default eras.

I liked much of the old graphics better.. here are patches that bring some of it back...
