The Stone Age is the first generator of civilization. It is the weakest generator of civilization, having a base production of only 0.10 ideas per second.

Description[]

"The first modern humans walk the Earth, and change the world around them - creating tools, raising animals, building communities. Soon we will learn that nothing will stop human progress."

Design[]

The Stone Age generator resembles a campfire.

In the civilization garden, there is a section dedicated to the Stone Age. In the middle, the generator is represented as a stone statue with two cairns (stone stackings) on each shoulder. It is surrounded by the Metabit trophy Stonehenge. There are more upgrades represented in the Stone Age section of the garden, starting clockwise from the central tower:

Civ Garden Stone Age
  • Burial: A pregnant mother and her child next to a grave, marked with a dirt mound and white flowers. When clicked, the mother will look at the child.
  • Dog Domestication: There are several huts surrounding the Logit prize Dog Domestication. A man stands next to a wolf, and pets the wolf when clicked, prompting the achievement Good Dog!
  • Fishing: A man stands next to a small bay with a wooden spear aimed at the water, as several fishes lay on a rock nearby. When clicked, the man thrusts the spear and imaples a fish, before placing the fish on the rock. The fish disappears afterwards.
  • Hunting: A man holds a wooden spear. When clicked, he throws the spear at one of the two bisons the man is looking at, which always misses. The man then bends down to take another wooden spear.
  • Lascaux Cave: A man continuously paints a cave painting (on of the Lascaux Cave paintings) inside a cave. He holds a stick and a hollow horn that holds paint. A torch is next to him for illumination.
  • Cave Paintings: Behind the cave painter, a woman marvels at a different painting with a lot of handprints. She holds her hand on the painting, contributing her bit of the painting (though it is not visible).
  • Hunting: A man holds a wooden spear. When clicked, he throws the spear at one of the two bisons the man is looking at, which always misses. The man then bends down to take another wooden spear.
  • Göblekli Tepe: The structure rests behind the two people tending the fire.
