The Ancients

The Ancients is a turn-based survival strategy game where you lead a prehistoric hunter-gatherer tribe through the last ice age. Survive the elements, hunt fierce animals, migrate to new continents, advance your technology, make social and political tribe decisions, and evolve your civilization.
  • Survival: Navigate different biomes, adapting to different climates, weather, and seasons. Forage for food, and hunt historically accurate animals – or be hunted.
  • Tribal Life: Control one or more clans within your tribe. View their happiness by how fulfilled they are in terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
  • Technological Advancement: Research an expansive tech tree of primitive technology, and craft new tools and weapons according to your geographical needs.
  • Society: Make decisions to develop your tribes' cultural, political, spiritual, and moral identity.
  • Migration: Migrate your tribe to different nodes on Earth, strategizing how to thrive in new biomes and climates.
