I've just moved in to a new hood and have just been attacked by a player with a champion 3 era's above his current age. I was just wondering how a player can have units several ages in front?
By following, and completing, the quests on the campaign map story for those higher Ages whilst not actually progressing into those respective Ages/Eras on the tech tree. There are generally a few quests associated with each of the Ages/Eras of the campaign map that award unattached troops of the respective Age/Era; although not always the case. For example, my city on L is only CE but in following the campaign quests I have progressed well into the TE map and in doing so have at least 2 (if not more) of each of the TE troops.I've just moved in to a new hood and have just been attacked by a player with a champion 3 era's above his current age.

I guess you wouldn't be a mod if you didn't know the game inside and out.I am in PE and have one PME champ and four PME commandos. I acquired them as mentioned above.

I'm still at InA, so that explains why I haven't encountered quest rewards giving champions. I actually looked into the possibility of getting PE units while still at colonial, but that took a peaceful path that I wasn't willing to do.
One age above is common, two ages above would be pushing it but three ages above? And champions? Those don't get awarded by quests, at least none I have seen. There's almost always a stumbling block to prevent players from having units more than one age above their own in the form of 'build/train x number of whatever from whatever age' or research something of that age.
Well, I got these troops long before I was a mod. I got to looking at the Wiki page and reading ahead on all the quests. Once I saw I could end up with PME troops, I worked out a plan for each quest and saved up the resources to make it happen. The commandos make me quite a force for attacking PE cities, and the PME champ is terrific on defense, often taking more than 10 direct hits to kill.
I'm not aware of any of the CE campaign map quests awarding unattached CE troops, however, the TE map quests do award at least two of each troop quite early on and there's a TE Champ later on too.I'm Indy age on Jaims with: PE conscripts and fast units. ME paratroopers and bazooka teams. PME MG teams. No champs tho
I'm wondering if I can get CE units?
Awesome ...I got to looking at the Wiki page and reading ahead on all the quests. Once I saw I could end up with PME troops, I worked out a plan for each quest and saved up the resources to make it happen.
