Caral - Norte Chico (Brave New World)

Adds Caral to the base game.

This mod is also available as part of the Cradles of Civilization Pack (BNW).

The Norte Chico culture, more formally referred to as the Caral-Supe Civilization, was a pre-Columbian culture that developed on the north-central coast of what is today Peru. It has been established as the oldest known civilization in the Americas, flourishing between 3200-1800 BC, and one of the six sites where civilization independently originated in the ancient world. Norte Chico potentially represents a unique reliance on maritime food sources in absence of a staple cereal; however, current studies also stress the role of agriculture in supporting industry and augmenting diet. It is likely that Norte Chico was the cultural predecessor for many of the great subsequent Andean civilizations, such as the Chavin and Inca.

Note:
- This civilization requires the Brave New World expansion.
