Era -timelines
Just a quick one, But i feel like we should have the ability to create multiple eras, either for different historical methods of recording or cause multiple events have happend in a world history that has led to massive impacts.

Follow up


if this is already possible i apologise as i must have missed it.
ah apprently this is already possible, but i just missed it, as i was looking at the era that shows up when setting up the world and not the timeline, for those curious " There is a button to add new era, and it's possible to set custom display dates and restart the counting year at the beginning of a new era. The Universal Date is used so that the website knows exactly when an event takes place at the meta level and isn't the same as what can be displayed. The custom display options for eras are under the advanced settings."   Thank you very much Alishahr for explaining this below.

    This is already possible with timelines. There is a button to add new era, and it's possible to set custom display dates and restart the counting year at the beginning of a new era. The Universal Date is used so that the website knows exactly when an event takes place at the meta level and isn't the same as what can be displayed. The custom display options for eras are under the advanced settings.

    As someone with a story with multiple eras, this is a desperate need

    It is true that we can only currently set one BC/AD overall setting in the world, but I believe that a suggestion to make it possible to have more than this has already been accepted. You can also utilize more than those two when working in timelines.
