When I asked guildies, they all said "that isn't possible" same as you. I was only just over halfway through the BA tech tree, at that time, so it was a real pain. I went searching for info on advancing when I suddel y advanced from Bronze Age before I could even see the tech tree for Iron Age, let alone unlock any IA research. though I dunno if the other way (s) are features or bugs. No, you guys are wrong about there being only one way of ageing up. I've tried searching, but can't find an answer to this specific question. So my question is simple: can I go ahead, accept those units and move on with the questline without finding myself summarily booted into EMA? Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in obtaining higher era units, just interested in completing the quest chain (and obtaining that monastery at the end! ) without inconveniently ageing up. However, I'm now wondering if that info is dated or just plain wrong? because I recently came across some instructions on how to get higher era units, which would clearly not work as intended, if that rule applied across the board. That's because I'm sure that I've read, somewhere (probably this forum) that if you accept units from a higher era than yours, then you automatically advance to that higher era. Specifically, I'm at that quest(Murderers!) which rewards you with EMA units, so I've avoided completing that one, thus far. I'm not ready to advance to EMA, but I've worked through all the campaign map, up to LMA, hit a brick wall, and that only leaves the Barbarian bonus quest to complete when the daily quest asks me to to conquer a sector.
