For download information and details of my original creation please go here: Saga Of Man original creation
!!!!!Newest Alpha version (3 Oct 22) download>>>>>>>>>>>> Newest Alpha <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
FEATURES- Historical Timeline: Tech tree redesigned to be more like a historical timeline to force historical accuracy and eliminate silly beelines
- Lithic Era: A prehistoric era that begins when Homo Sapiens emerged 200,000 years ago
- Realistic growth and expansion: Stunted early game growth for more realistic city sizes. Settler unlocked at beginning of Ancient Era.
- Historical Buildings: No filler buildings. Just real buildings from history with a realistic approach to upgrade paths and yields.
- Important Civilizations: The addition of important civilizations that are missing from the base game with new leader screens for all civilizations using historical imagery
- Culture Groups: Civilizations are grouped by shared culture. Meaning they share unique units, buildings, improvements, wonders and even unique techs.
- Important Resources: A selective approach to adding the most important resources from history without flooding the map.
- Realistic strategic resource and building requirements for units and buildings.
- Mod pack: A thoughtful approach as to what other mods will be added to this project. The goal is realism and immersion.
- Recommended Mods for best experience: Custom Advanced Set Up Screen and Enhanced User Interface
Spoiler Alpha Version 1.000 with credits :
Note: There was an earlier alpha version that I created a few years ago. I have decided to take a different approach with the tech tree so I'm considering this my first Alpha.

Shared Units
- Hunter - Recon unit. Cheap, slow, and weak. Starts with Survivalism 1 and has a defense bonus near capital. Upgrades to Scout. Goes obsolete at Early Neolithic I. (credit JTitan)
- Gatherer - Worker unit. Builds Camps, Quarries, Mines, Forest Gardens. Gets consumed with each improvement created, similar to Work Boat. Goes obsolete at Middle Neolithic II. (credit JTitan)
- Shaman - Expensive unit that requires Burial Ground. Creates Ritual Sites. Goes obsolete at Late Antiquity. (credit JTitan)
- Canoe - Cheap, slow, weak naval melee unit. Upgrades to Trireme. Goes obsolete at Classical Antiquity I. (credit Deliverator)
- Tribe - First Settler unit and the only one you'll ever get. (credit JTitan)
- Mammoth - Barbarian unit. Strong but slow. (credit Deliverator)
- Wolf - barbarian unit. Can attack twice on same turn and heal after killing enemy because he eats you. (I know, I'm evil). (credit Kwadjh)
- Lion - barbarian unit. Same abilities as Wolf. (credit Deliverator)
- Bronze Age Swordsman. Same abilities as regular Swordsman but requires Copper.
- Bronze Age Spearman. Same abilities as regular Spearman. Requires Copper. Regular Spearman now requires Iron.
- Galley for Civs mod by Barrowulf. Early ranged naval unit. 2 range, 3 moves.
- Battering Ram: no longer unique to Huns, available to everyone, upgrades to Cannon
- Horse Archer: no longer unique to Huns, available to everyone
- Forest Garden , +1 Food. Created by the Gatherer. Can only be constructed on Forests and Jungle. (There is no improvement art for this. You will simply see the yield change)
- Nomadic Camps - replaces the Ancient Ruins as the goody hut. Uses the Encampment graphic.
- Lairs, replaces the Barbarian Encampment. A Lair looks like a Cave. I wanted something humans and animals can occupy. (credit Nomad or What)
- Shrine, +3 Faith. Created by the Shaman. Uses the Antiquity Site graphic. Removed Shrine building.
- Antiquity Sites now use the Ancient Ruins graphic. I know this is confusing
- Lumber Camps are Lumber Mills renamed. Lumber camps produce the strategic Timber resource.
- Resources are now unlocked by techs. The idea is to reveal them when they became important to civilization.
- Maize - bonus (credit framedarchitecture)
- Rice - bonus (credit framedarchitecture)
- Tobacco - luxury (credit framedarchitecture)
- Tea -luxury (credit framedarchitecture)
- Timber - strategic, produced by Lumber Camps. This resource will be required to build ships and siege warfare.(credit Hulfgar)
- Leather - luxury, produced by Tannery
- Textiles - luxury, produced by Loom. Uses Silk icon and Silk now has a new icon.
- Shell Beads - luxury, produced by Blombos Cave
- Chinese silk embroideries - luxury produced by Tai Shan Temples
- Roman statues: luxury produced by Forum of Rome
Note: when buildings are replaced by new buildings you retain the yields of the first building you constructed. Replacing a building simply means that the new building will show up in the production menu in place of the first building. The purpose is to make some buildings go obsolete for the sake of realism. This way you are not building Neolithic buildings in the Modern era when you settle new cities.

Balancing and Other Changes

- Slowed barbarian tech progression to -100%

Special thanks to whoward69 for creating and maintaining the DDS Converter Tool, it's a massive time saver.
Anything that I have created which includes buildings, wonders and icons are free for anyone to use. It's only fair since I'm notorious for borrowing from other modders.
