Ancient Era (Civ5)

The Ancient Era in Civilization V represents the beginning of human civilization.
== Game Info ==
This is the beginning period for each civilization, when it acquires the basic technologies and tools to control its surroundings. You will establish your , explore the lands around you, and begin to build improvements on your first patch of land. If you aim at quick expansion, you will probably establish 1 or 2 more cities before progressing. You should also attempt to establish a Pantheon.
It is unlikely that you will fight anything but Barbarians in this era - there are simply too many of them, and too few of you to attempt to fight another civilization. And you don't want a Barbarian unit wrecking your lands and capturing your Workers while you're off fighting a losing battle against another civilization!
