Description
Take control of a settlement of the first modern humans, guide them through the ages in their struggle for survival.

Dawn of Man is a survival/city-builder from the creators of Planetbase.

The game starts in the Stone Age, and takes you up to the Iron Age, spanning more than 10,000 years of human prehistory.

You will have to get your people to survive, expand and evolve, just like our ancestors, facing the challenges that the environment will throw at you.

Hunt

Animals were a vital source of food and resources for ancient humans. Use their meat to feed your people and their skin and bones to make clothing and craft the tools you will need to stay alive.
Confront Mammoths, Woolly Rhinos, Ancient Bison, Megaloceros, Cave Lions and other species that roamed the earth at the time.

Gather

Collect a variety resources from the environment: fruit, berries, water, wood, flint, stone, ores. Use them to prepare food, to make tools and to build structures in your settlement.

Plan for harsh times

Fish is more abundant in spring, berries and fruit can be collected in summer and animals are easier to come by when it's warm.
When winter comes, make sure to have enough non-perishable food and warm clothing in order to survive.

Expand and fortify your settlement

Build more homes and facilities for your people, in order to expand your population.
Construct fortifications and craft weapons, so you are ready for when the inevitable conflict comes.

Research Technologies

Each new discovery will make it easier for your settlement to be able to support larger populations, but will also bring new challenges: increased food demand, morale issues and more frequent raider attacks.

Build Megalithic Structures

Our ancestors were capable of incredible engineering feats: mine massive rocks from the environment, transport them using sledges and construct colossal stone structures.

Control Nature

Unlock farming technologies to grow your own vegetables, so you can feed large amounts of people. Domesticate animals to produce food, resources and provide increased muscle power.

northland part of game

at some point in the game in the north portion, becomes harder to find and farther away from village which results in villagers dying from starvation or exposure. Makes it near impossible to advance in the game. very frustrating.

A sloid game with a great AI.

This is a very solid game with an excellent AI system. It almost seems like the game knows what you're trying to accomplish at a given time, but will work in the background to try and keep the colony functional. The game keeps you on your toes by introducing small events from time to time such as disease or storms, and keeps a steady flow of animal attacks which later turn into raider attacks. Items can decay or become scarce over time so your colony will adapt over the ages. There are very few "cons" to the game; it could use some more variety of building types and it would be nice to place small hunting or gathering camps to store small amounts of food and water so that people won't die of starvation or dehydration when far away from home. It would also be nice to see some more raider varieties.

This is good

Picked this up just after my recent purchase of Planetbase. Got to say, I am liking both games a lot. As well as the change in setting, Dawn of Man is an improvement over Planetbase in every way. More control, more options, more progression! Good games man. Thanks!
