{{quote|''The year of our Lord, 1423, more than thousand years after the fall of the great Empire. A New Era has begun for Calradia. Scholars have found new ways to gather knowledge, Kings to gain and maintain power, merchants to become richer and influential. The once fearful Khergit Khanate is crumbling. And yet the kingdoms of Calradia are fighting each other, overlooking a greater danger lurking in the East.''
''The Dark Ages have ended. It's time to enlighten all of us. The Rennaissance has begun! It's a time of rebirth. Classical sources teach us to optimize architecture, art, science, music and let us think out philosophical ideas, views and opinions...''}}
'''Nova Aetas''' is a total conversion [[Game Mod]] for ''[[Mount & Blade|Mount & Blade: Warband]]'' set in the "native" setting of Calradia but further down the timeline. First developed in 2013 by modder Quintillius, it's best described as a [[Fan Sequel]] of sorts to the original game and is notable for the sheer scale of the project.
Line 27:
** The mod also highlights the [[Ancient Grome]] inspirations of the long-fallen Calradian Empire. As it's possible to recreate it however, retaining its blatantly Roman elements with some Renaissance touches.
* [[Fantasy Gun Control]]: Averted, especially over time. Guns and ammo are initially hard to come by. But eventually, muskets and pistol start contesting bows and crossbows on the battlefield.
* [[Game Mod]]: A rather extensive one for ''Warband''.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: [[Altum Videtur|The title is Latin]] for "New Era."
* [[Medieval European Fantasy]]: Subverted and ultimately averted as time passes.
* [[Obvious Beta]]: The mod is still a work in progress, with a number of bugs left to iron out.
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: There are a number of typos in the text, which could stem from English not necessarily being the modders' first language.
