We're locked into the most primitive civics for a long while in any case, the most important thing to be aware of at this point is that under the Government civic 'Chiefdom' we get no unhappiness in our capital city.

There's a whole little hunting subsystem where certain units can provide a small bonus to food and production in the nearest city upon killing animals, or sometimes subdue animals and use them to construct special buildings (such as a herd of whatever that gives +1 production).įurthermore the civics system is completely reworked compared to standard Civ. Our first worker-type unit, the Gatherer, is only a couple of techs away this unit is disposable much like a workboat. Major changes in gameplay involve a whole crapload of primitive buildings that are pretty cheap to build and give minor bonuses, and the fact that you can't build another settler (or 'Tribe' as the first settler-type unit is called) until you discover Tribalism which is a ways into the tech tree. I've played around a little in the prehistoric era before this. There doesn't seem to be anything better to do than settle in place, but I guess I might as well move the Stone Thrower onto one of the nearby hills first. Industrious and Organized great for a builder game. Oh hey, we are the American tribe and I am the immortal leader Roosevelt. The world is created and it takes so long that I do some dishes and stuff. We select SNAIL speed which is basically double Marathon! We mostly leave options at their suggested default. There's a whole extra future-tech era or two as well but getting there is mostly theoretical at this point.Īll right! Monarch difficulty, random civ, large world with a map script I haven't tried before called 'Perfect World' which is apparently one of those old world/new world deals. For starters, we begin much earlier in the prehistoric era and have a whole lot of primitive tech tree to traverse before we can begin to dream of stuff such as Agriculture. It's a Civ4/BTS mod which builds further on another huge mod called Rise of Mankind, which adds and reworks tons of stuff. I don't even know if my computer will be able to handle the later stages of the game at all, but then again I don't know if I will survive that far. Okay, I have gone insane and intend to do a playthread of this one enormous mod.
