One thing I'm really looking forward to in C2C is the implementation of the nomadic camp system for the Prehistoric era. This, along with the hunting system, will really go a long way towards transforming the Prehistoric into a unique game feature in it's own right, which I think is essential towards preserving historical authenticity and atmosphere. Anyway, without further ado, I'd like to suggest that in line with these changes, that the in game events should be overhauled to reflect the technological, infrastructural and practical requirements that their occurance logically implies. To wit;
I am willing to implement these changes myself if the changes involved would be too much of a distraction for the main XML team.
On a much more minor note, may I suggest that with the upcoming implementation of the Butcher function for Subdued Animals, as well as the Myth buildings from Oral Tradition, that the Governor's Pets/Menagerie buildings (which, incidentally, are misspelled as Govenor's) should require Bronze Working, and the Military Standard building should require Military Training?
