Sumer (BNW or GK)

Adds Sumer to the base game.

The BNW version of this mod is also available as part of the Cradles of Civilization Pack (BNW).

Often touted as the world's first civilization, Sumer developed along the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, in modern day Iraq, coalescing into a distinct civilization by 3000 BC (though habitation of the area dates much earlier). The surplus of storable food created by consistent agriculture allowed the population of this region to settle in one place, instead of migrating as hunter gatherers. The greater population density, in turn, required a more extensive labor force and the division of labor into specialized arts. Sumer also developed one of the world's earliest writing systems, cuneiform, progressing from a stage of proto-writing in the mid-4th millennium BC to writing proper in the 3rd millennium BC.

Note:
- This civilization requires either the Brave New World or the Gods and Kings expansions.
- Updates to the Mod will most likely break save games. Please do not update until you are ready to begin a new game.
- The City-State of Ur is replaced with Skara Brae (Orkney) in BNW.
