Civilopedia: This is one of the first drawing done by Humans, it was did among 12.000 or 15.000 b.C in Altamira Cave, north of present Spain. The pre historic men had inhabited dark caves in this time and started drawn animals present in your day by day, after had used abstracts forms. The bison and other animals were drawn on the roof and the artist had little light to use. He used yellow, black and red ochre (stones) to paint. This mural was discovered in 1879 and this discovery helped the scientists get more infos about the cave men.

I like the idea and the bison, but the cavern is rather odd.

I like wery much your preview-intro screens!
BTW I think there is much accent on the cave, not on the drawing! You should fix it!

Fine graphics! An very much needed too!

with civped txt I think there should be one correction:

"This is one of the first drawing done by Humans, it was did among 12.000 or 15.000 b.C in Altamira Cave, north of present Spain. "

- First drawing done by Humans known to man. There very well could have been billions of drawings before that one. Bison of Altamira has lasted because of favorable conditions. I mean, the bison is pretty good with outlines, coloring and everything, so it really can't be the first one. The artist must have had an idea how to portray the thing technically and the tribe and all people in general must have had an ability to understand conceptually, that it is a painting - which portrays a bison. Otherwise there would have been no reason to do that so precise, only to draw stick characters and shapes to perform as symbols close to the written text as many other wall paintings are.
