I'm making a major change to how Culture Groups work. Rather than having Cultures grouped together, I'm using he 5 Groups to represent 5 different types of Cultures, with each type representing the ecological/terrain type they are evolving in. Each will have inherently different strengths and weaknesses: UUs; Improvements; Small Wonders; Large Wonders. There will also be universally available SWs & LWs.
There will be 5 Civs within each Culture Group, and they will be distributed fairly evenly around the globe. They are (and name suggestions are welcome) -
There will also be 5 "types" within each of the 5 Culture Groups:
I like real worlds without violations of the laws of physics.
That being said - Before the last Ice Age was an 80,000 year long, or so, period with the ghastly name of "The Eemian." Homo Sapiens were most definitely around, but the Earth was warmer, and the seas higher:
.... OK, this is a bit weird. I just Googled "Eemian Wold Map" and got this:
I (obviously) had begun an similar project before I became ill - You can ignore pretty much everything about it except for the 2nd post - https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/terra-fantasia-mod.556714/ - but the two other screen shots are pretty cool: the very large Island of Scandinavia, and the "Green Sahara," with its several large lakes, all of which are ego-historically accurate (note: the Great Lakes & the St. Lawrence seaway weren't actually conjoined: it was merely something I was playing with.)
Moving right along ...

- Hill People
- Forest People
- Sea People
- People Of The Open Sky (Plains)
- People Of The Clea Water (large lakes and River Deltas.)

- Commercial
- Expansionist
- Scientific
- Militaristic
- Religious.
