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. 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 is larger than 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.

Ye! It's a great idea! Maybe useful for a pre-historic MOD!
BTW it's a bit too dark...

i'm building this scenario, its name is The Last March of the Neanderthals. Use my signature link to find the correct link of the scenario.

Really interesting! Dont forget the dinosaurs! ;) ...and is it for [ptw]?

It is for PTW, C3C and Vanilla.
The scenario shows the first humans against the last neanderthals, dinos died years ago ths fantasy battle :( , but in the future I can do a scenario using them

All we need now is the caveman UU, and humans can go to war and wipe out those hairy neanderthongs, er, I mean neanderthals :)

Cave Man is ready, but I continue find problems with the tribe color, for this reason, it was not lauched yet, as other units created by me. One friend tell me he could help me with these problems, but he has a lot of work these days, when this work down, he could help me solve this problem.
Here comes come images of Neanderthal, the angle used in tehse images are not the same of the game.

Awesome! What an improvement over the original LH...!
 
The first moment your Neandertaliensis confused me a little bit. I always thought they would be white skinned as they were living in Europe during the last (?) ice age. Also all animations I've seen in the TV have been quite more pale. Well in fact I think it's nowerdays no more possible to recreate the colour... so who knows how they looked like... well this all concernes the leaderhead...
All in all I would also imagine them with a bigger bulges at the forehead....
 
Outstanding work! very unique and interesting concept for a scenario cant wait to see the finished product. :thumbsup:
 
Crap! I didn't notice the :bump: in post #11 thanks for the heads- up Supa....:cry:

Did he move on to civ IV ??????
