I get that as well. It's something to do with the v1.3 patch, I believe. You see two extra +123 eras? Those are from the pre-1.3 mod +123, which is available for install (I think) but is incompatable with more recent, 1.3-employing era mods (unless they are really small. No Convo Pack, no BFX).

Okay...pressing Ctrl-Shift will do nothing other than select multiple maps...that's it. No mystery mods. Where did you get this info from?

I would assume from himself, as he is describing something that he himself noticed in his own copy of the game. I have seen the same thing, where if I selected many maps, the +123 eras would show up in the era selection screen. I'm pretty sure it's just a quirk of the v1.3 patch, as I stated in my last post. That's it.

Yeah, it shows the +123 era on the maps if you select multiple maps. Nothing secret, for you can't add them to the map list (unless you have +123 I'm assuming). I'm also assuming its a known problem, but I could be wrong on that, as it is not that big of a deal, so noone may be planning on fixing it.

How many of you have any or all of the following installed:

Dark Times
Dark Space
Ultimate Battlefront: TCW
+123 Mod

Because they all use the +123 eras, the top three have the names changed for said eras (to Dark Times, Last Days and UB: TCW), so if you select multiple maps with more than one of those on them then the name reverts to +123 CW or +123 GCW.

It's actually a feature, from the v1.3 patch. When you select multiple maps, I didn't want to spend the time writing code to look at each map's data and figure out which eras needed to be displayed, then limiting that list to the amount of era boxes which could be displayed. Instead, I took the most popular eras at the time and only displayed those.

The new v1.3 revisions may change this (r130+), but probably not.
