Prehistoric Era

[[Concepts]]

Extending the game back millions years requires the modification of several aspects, such as:

• adding unites
• adding buildings, wonders
• adding technologies
• creating game functions that don't exist (as an example, the "lack" of civilization millions of years ago)
• creating a way for climate, flora, fauna change due to the large of span of time

These are just some examples.
