[Jarod Cain]

I think we should name the Volcano Armok. The waters near our city will be called the Sea of 12 Bays, and we should rename our city to Bokslan. We should also master Fire & Cooking, because Armok demands it.

Alright, I suppose I should get on with it and make another update.

Forward the butter!



We have some names now. Unfortunately our city ran afoul of the character limit, but that just makes it sillier.

We work on capturing fire and then cooking. Oddly enough, you have to build the captured fire national wonder before you've actually caught any fire.

Also, for some reason we are now the City State of Head Hunters. Why? Beats me. We don't even have a proper city.

And now we've captured fire. Kinda.

Here you can see the status of MP4. Currently our storytellers are coming up with an excuse for why we're stuck here, called a creation myth.

Later, we discover cooking. In the previous picture you saw how MP4 had slightly more unhealthiness than healthiness, right? This tech is enough to push us into healthy territory.

Now that we've researched cooking without having any fire, I decide on my own to aim for Hard-Hammer Percussion. Stone tools were an important feature of the stone age, after all, and the Stone Tool Maker is the premiere building of the prehistoric era. It starts out weak, requiring a lot of hammers for little gain, but it gets a lot of boosts from various technologies. It also reveals various stone resources; something I neglected to mention before.

First we research scavenging. It reveals a bunch of resources, but unfortunately there are none of those on this island.

Mt. Armok, dormant for many centuries, has begun to erupt once more.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We research tool making, which allows us to build clubmen(we started with a clubman but we couldn't build them).

Then we research Hard-Hammer Percussion.

And wouldn't you know it, there's a source of very nice rocks right next door! It's not within our borders yet, though, but once it is we can build Culture (Neanderthal), I think. There's also a hawk over there - I'll send our clubman out to hunt it.

Here's a bit more of the tech tree. Note that bonuses to the Stone Tool Maker are not listed on the picture, so techs like Chopping and Scraping don't appear as useful as they are. Also, Naturopathy is the first tech to found a religion - Druidism, although we have Choose Religion enabled - and we might be able to get it first.

Odd I thought Animism was the first religion. Hmmmm... Druids do have time machines... that explains a few things in this LP

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Technically speaking there was no first religion, just a great many hunter-gatherer bands with lots of myths about the world. That said, there were probably religions before there were modern humans at all, being as some of our immediate ancestors were sapient too.

Civilization, and this mod by extension, are really just an abstraction so we shouldn't worry too much about it. Though I find it odd that this mod starts during the hunter-gatherer phase instead of at the Neolithic Revolution like the games normally do.

PTW and get my name on anything bound to take a lot of punishment.

A lot of this mod's decisions can be summed up as "ADD MORE STUFF". In fact, ADD MORE STUFF is pretty much the mission objective.

Incidentally, we'll probably found a religion eventually even if we don't go for Naturopathy early on. There's a big list and we have to choose one of them; I'll give you a complete list when I make the next update, probably. But it does include Asatru, Mormonism, Scientology and Tengriism, as well as more traditional fare.

[MonkeyHead]

Well, clearly we will have to go with Scientology and take ourselves back to Xenu's Galactic Confederacy

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The Jivaro practiced polygamy, so we could end up  Fundamentalist Mormon Native South American Headhunters in Space lead by an Undying Frenchman of questionable sanity and unquestionable badassery. And then we'll conquer the universe.

[ansontan2000]

I must PTW this.

[Iituem]

PTW as well.  Bloody hell this is in-depth.

[stabbymcstabstab]

PTW

[Shades]

This is a scary-big looking mod.

[Pnx]

So I decided to install the mod and try it a bit myself... You didn't mention that this is the song that plays on the main menu?

[Bluerobin]

Ah hah! I knew it was familiar when I heard it in an LP video, but it's been so long since I heard it... Great, now I have to go through and watch all of his new stuff.

Oh, also, a vote for prioritizing getting to the point where you can discover and use water resources.
