Civilopedia:
The spice Homo neanderthalensis born in Middle East in 100.000 b.C. and disappeared around the 35.000 b.C. These dates are refuted by some scientists, some of them says the Neanderthals survive until 10.000 b.C. and trade instruments with the modern men. These dates are so polemic that some people believe they were not dead, they are alive in some parts of the Planet that do not has contact with the “Civilized World”, like small villages in Himalaya or they are alive in our genes, result of the crossing with Homo sapiens in the past. The causes of the extinction are not clear until today, maybe a strong flu present in humans and fatal to Neanderthals, caused it.
Neanderthals is not the ancestor of the Homo sapiens specie: both have a common ancestor, the Homo sapiens cro-maignon. Scientists believe the natural causes, like the ambient temperature, were the reason of the birth of these two species. They are stronger than present humans and have more piles, their brain has the same size of ours, but was not so efficient to communication between members of the same specie.
Neanderthals inhabited Middle East and Europe, they lived in small groups, formed by families and were nomads. Some scientists says they used instruments did with stones created by themselves, others disagree. The first fossils were discovered in Neander Valley, Germany in 1856.
It is a fantasy civ, so the leader names and the bonuses are fake. So, I considered this race Expansionist (they were nomads) and Militaristic (because the image of the wild cave men, hunting bravely). You are free to choice your combo.

Civilopedia, Cave Man (UU):
Replace standard Warrior, they have these characteristics:
- Cost 20 shields, instead 10.
- Attack: 03, instead 01.
- Defense: 03, instead 01.
- Upgrade: none
This Civ does not produce any foot unit until the Industrial Age. Cave Man is a powerful unit that hunt human when the game starts. Few human units of Ancient/Middle age can defeat Cave Man, they must attack in larger groups to defeat few Neanderthals units. The Cave Man is really stronger, if the humans found a Neanderthal city, they must destroy it the faster possible before this city turns a centre of production of wild hunter.
 
Do you plan on creating a scenario based on the War of the Middle East between the Homo Sapiens (Humans) and the Neanderthals (Proto-Humans)?

It would be hard to accurate play it out because it was over a period of 1000's of years.. and there are no historical accounts. The Neanderthals were completely whiped out. They had brawns yet no brains.
 
perhaps they should be scientific instead of militristic (they invented stuff!) also, wouldnt a 4.4.2 be too powerful until middle ages. (only hoplite/mercenary/mounted warrior would have a chance of killing it, in the early MA only swiss m. could have a chance. Perhaps they could upgrade with iron, army techs, for a cheap price
 
how about , instead of neanderthal men , pre-historic men? Will be so more easy. One city to you:Lascaux(the cave in france).
Then , how leaders , you put:Homo erectus , homo habilis , homo sapiens cro-maignon , australopithecus afarensus , and many others. In cientific leaders you may put "Lucy".
 
Maybe I can produce a mod about a war in Mid East between Humans and Neanterdhals, it is a good idea, but it is a fantasy civ, so, I do not must use historical relates.
Thanks for all the suggestions of sites and leaders, they are all upgrate to the project.
Maybe Cave Man (if some one has a better UU name, please, post) is too stronger, my intention is do a super UU, no human UU before the industrial ages could defeat it. If I use 3.3.2 instead 4.4.2, the UU get better. Remember, they cost 20, instead 10 (double dificult do produce).
I visited some Internet sites, all them said that Neanterdhals do not produce advanced stuffs, I think Militaristic (because it stronger) is better then Scientific.

regards!

I like the style.

Yes, it appears a Indian guy from the 70' :D
I have to change it, but I can launch a leader from India using a Black Power in a future mod :lol:
 
How about Homo Habilus. It was in its dying days when neaderthals came around. They should get alot of underpowered units allowing for their down fall. Is the entire mod in Europe? Neanderthals replaced H Habilius after coming into Europe.

BTW: Bam-Bam from the Flinstones should be a military leader for someone.
