Stages
Every nation in the game world has to go through a number of stages. Each stage is unlocked when a certain in game event happens, these events range from getting the right technologies to discovering fire.Each stage gives the nation/tribe new technologies to research/trade/steal. Each stage has a specific camera area over the whole of the planet, this ranges from very small, to a view of the whole planet.
In this stage individual agents fight for themselves and only themselves.Each agent needs only one thing to continue in the stage: food.If at anytime all the creatures of a species starve, the species goes extinct and is no longer seen on the planet.
The camera in this stage never shows more than 20% of a single hex tile, this allows for the tracking of individuals creatures and interference on a very small scale.
To advance to the next stage an individual must meet other individuals of his own species and become allies with them, this advances you to the Pack stage.
In this stage a group of agents are trying to survive, this includes finding food, reproducing, and interacting with packs and individuals of different species.As the pack survives you will collect more of your own species and become more and more powerful as a group.
The camera in this stage will never show more than 50% hex tile of land, this size of camera allows the player to track packs as they hunt and ally with others, but at the same time allows the player to track the evolution and decisions of multiple packs at the same time.
To advance to the next stage the pack must have at least 10 members and must have killed/domesticated 3 species of native creatures.Once the pack advances into the Tribal stage they discover fire, and with that technology
In this stage a tribe of agents fight to get more food, reproduce and fight/ally with/steal from other tribes of their own species.This is the first stage where a tribe can discover technologies, these tecnologies off benefits to the tribe as a whole.
The camera in this stage should never really show more than 7 hex tiles(middle hex + 6 neighbors).This camera view allows the player to watch multiple tribes develop and discover/steal/trade new technologies.
To advance to the next stage the tribe must have discovered 80% or the technologies available and must have interacted with 10 other tribes.
