My first ever mod, and while I have tried it probably needs more testing, so if there are issues let me know and I’ll try and address them.

What is this mod? It’s like the Continental Dawn scenario but with a (new) world map with 6 locations on it. There are 7 milestones to reach (the toughest one is 225 population).

What’s new?
*The main thing I have tried to do is to customize the maps as best I can given that the algorithm that has a mind of its own.
*Locations have varying weather – long cold winters in the north, hot dry summers in the south. *Growing and harvesting seasons also vary, as does vegetation (forest is conifers only in the north).
*Some rivers have ‘salmon runs’ so fishing is extra productive in Spring/Summer.
*Raiders! Hate them in vanilla so early game you get wild animals (lions, wolves, bears; mid game mammoths) – please note the use of plural. Human raiders will come, but not until the Bronze Age and they will come in numbers (4 raiders attacking a village of 60 seems ridiculous).
*Tech needs 20% more points so you will really have to work hard to advance (this may be to grindy -see what you think).
*You will start with 3 mined megaliths in camp – that’s a bonus – but you can’t move them until the Neolthic !!!
Animal extinctions have been removed, but creatures such as mammoths and woolly rhinos do become rarer as the eras advance.

Locations:
The Cahara River – A northern flood plain, long cold winters but flat.
The Upper Velathri River – At the confluence of 2 rivers which have created a plain broken into 3 pieces. The surrounding terrain is rocky hills and outcrops. Weather is temperate with varied forests.
The Lower Velathri River – Your camp sits on a great bend in the river at the mouth of a long narrow gorge. The gorge itself is flat, but where to put fields in this mountainous stretch of river?
The Lake of Tak’rii – one of many lakes in this area. The land here is generally very open but with steep rocky hills separating the lakes.
The Makkalet – a hot, dry and rocky region with snowless winters. Your camp sits on a flat isthmus with a river on one side and a lake on the other.
The Barghir Vale – Also in the hotter south, a mountainous region where the river has carved its way through, very resource rich.

A BIG thanks to Gonar whose help in originally making this mod was indispensible and to Schwifty K who has come onboard to keep everything running smoothly.
