Stone

Starting out in The Universim? Learn all about the Stone Age, the challenges you'll face, and how to guide your civilization through its earliest, most crucial development phase.

Alright, so you're diving into The Universim and wondering where to even begin? Let's talk about the very start of your civilization: the Stone Age. This is where everything kicks off, and honestly, it's a bit of a wild ride.

Your civilization is going to start out way back, thousands of years before anything resembling modern times. Think primitive tools, basic survival, and a whole lot of danger. You'll need to focus on research right from the get-go. For instance, you'll have to figure out how to make Fire. Yeah, that's a big one, especially because you'll be dealing with wild animals trying to make a meal out of your little guys. Plus, there are other threats like deadly viruses that you'll need to research cures for.

The planets themselves are alive, too. Expect weather effects, different temperatures, and whatever natural resources you can find. And don't forget the natural disasters – think earthquakes, tornadoes, freak storms, and even meteors. It keeps you on your toes, that's for sure.

As the 'god' of this world, you won't be directly controlling your people, but you'll be guiding them. Your decisions, your Influence, will shape their entire development. You might have to choose between ending wars between cities or letting them wipe each other out. You'll also steer their research, deciding what they focus on next. It's a lot of pressure, but that's the fun of it!
