AG's Early Game Mod

[amateurgamer88]

Hi everyone! This is amateurgamer! For lack of a better name, I decided to call this Early Game mod. Essentially, this mod, unlike my Late Game Mod, will focus on things at and before the Ancient Era. I haven't abandoned my other mod as I'm just waiting for the next VP beta version so I can do some tests. Since I'm waiting and don't want to sit around twiddling my thumbs, I decided to start working on this phase of the major project. I have planned on adding more eras from the very start but learning the various things and real life have slowed my overall progress. My current plan is in the spoiler below.

Spoiler Plans for Early Game Mod :

Iron Era
Bronze Era
Copper Era
Neolithic
Mesolithic
Upper Paleolithic

New yields and mechanics to make the early game more interesting like:
New religious yield that has access to new options
Slavery

More ideas and concepts will be added here over time.

I plan on chipping away at this whenever I have free time. Icons will sadly be mostly what I find online or using old civ game images until a kind artist is willing to contribute. Until then, my goal is to make things differentiable on the tech tree. I added a spoiler below to show those curious some small changes I've made so far.

Note that I basically got rid of Ancient Era and replaced it with Iron Era. Then, I'm just working backwards in time. As I add more changes, there will likely be changes made to the other eras too. Since this is in very early alpha, a lot of things will likely change. Even what you see below in the spoiler is subjected to changes.

Another sneak peek of what is to come for this mod (likely be changed as I add more things).

Do you still plan to work on this mod? Idea of extending of early eras is very appealing and interesting, there were number of other mods trying to do this, but all were not finished and not working well with VP.
I see that you started another very big and ambitious project - AG Extended Eras Mod, but last info was in November 2020.

Your timing is very interesting because I was thinking about this recently. Just trying to reorganize myself with things. The plan is to do something similar to enlightenment era mod where I add components and people can add it to their game. I hope to make some progress soon and start a new thread for that.
