Historical Migrations

This mod intends to provide a more accurate experience to Dawn of Man.

Europe during the Pleistocene was a giant tundra. No trees: only reindeer. Very few groups were able to enter the Neolithic on their own after the Pleistocene. Most were overwhelmed by their Neolithic neighbors. In Europe, Neolithic migrants from Anatolia became the dominant group in Europe. For these two reasons in this mod you start as a migrating group of Neolithic migrants at 7000 BC.

Small villages did not advance technologically by themselves. Nor is their evidence of conscience trading of technology for goods. In this mod, technology only comes after more advanced raiders become your neighbors and attack you!

The mod starts with only few raiders. As Neolithic migrations occurred in Europe, it was 'generally peaceful'. But as new farmlands became less available, war and large scale cannibalism become widespread (see Linear Pottery Culture). Raiders will slowly become more dangerous as you continue playing.

Proto-Indo-Europeans show up to Europe around ~3500 BC during the Bronze Age. These groups swiftly replace much of Neolithic Europe. And by the Roman Empire during the Iron Age, not one of the original Neolithic migrants remained unconquered. You can not win in the mod. If you have survived to this point, in the Iron Age you will be conquered.

Obsidian, copper, iron, and especially tin were extremely hard to come by. Few people were lucky enough to have these resources in their backyard. In this mod, your only option is to trade for them (don't worry, traders will come by frequently).

There is no drop of birth rate or migrants due to population size.
