    x Colonial Foundation: The settlers and other units can not found cities. Only the "convoy builder" has that option (see below).



    x Ships and Crew:

    Ships was built in your dry-dock or shipyards must have a crew, without which they can not navigate.

    A ship's crew is a settler who must take the sailor profession. It can be embarked on the ship of your choice (caravel, privateer, frigate, galleon etc. ..) as crew. It can be loaded in a ship too.

    When you will get promotions after naval battles, this is not the ship that will get them but the crew. If the crew is embarked, the icon of promotion will appear by selecting the ship, but it's the sailor who will be promote.

    You can disembark when you want and embark on another ship. You can swap two crews when you will select two vessels. However, a ship with a new crew doesn't be able to move in the same turn.

    The ships purchased in Europe are always provided of crews.

    Placement of departure is random and not defined by your position registration.

    Correction and amendment of the balance of power between all naval units.
    The ships of King again become more powerful.
    Speed merchant ships increased.

    The Europe access is farther from the coast. It is the Privateers dream!!

    Then some modifications,

    - Modification of the report of force between all the units in order to restore a certain coherence in the defeats and the victories of our soldiers.

    - the speed of all the ships is modified,

    - The Indians win money every turn, so trade is more interesting,

    - The number of turns to form a settler in schools is slightly higher but not increasing over time,





    Thanks for the help of Aymerick on adding of units and the conquistadors units of Deliverator too

        I present you DawnofaNewEra v1.32
        The game is now separate in three eras, in those eras, you will be able to have different profession and your power will evoluate.

        Now, the cannons cannot kill, they bomb the enemy units. But beware, if the difficulty level is high enough you will have to resupply your cannons so that they can again fight.

        To resupply your cannon:
        - if it was in one of your colonies and if you have any weapons in this city, you must to click on the button appropriate.
        - Otherwise , if you got a wagon train (or army) with some weapons in the same plot that your canon you will be able to resupply it too.

        More over, i did some changes about the agronomist, it can afforest!!

        I would like to know if there is some problems in this mod and if i have got big mistakes in all my translations.
        I hope you will write your reacts about this mod, i don't even know if you like it or not.

          I like the ideas behind this mod, but could somebody please help with the grammar? I know that the author is trying his best, but addressing this issue would improve the quality of this mod immensely.
