Forgot to mention, the unlockables will of course be unlockable by micro transactions and the giant companions, you will need 100 dino points to actually recruit him.
(Dino points will be purchasable also by micro transactions at the price of 10 majestic British pounds per coin)

That I'm fine with. As long as you avoid orc-monkeys and ice zombies.
Fun fact if you want to include "giants", a recent study (well a new one, from the wiki article it's apparently been known for a while but new fossils were recently discovered) suggested that a giant primate did roam Earth a long time ago : Gigantopithecus . It lived in Asia (which means it likely never encountered any Neanderthal who were only in Europe afaik) but since I'm not sure your mod is based on any precise Earth geography it may not be an issue. Timeline-wise it's thought that it lived for a long time (up to 100 000 years ago) and thus coexisted with several hominid species from H. Erectus to H. Sapiens, making it not completely a "fantasy" thing.
Apart from that I'm clearly in the "Closer to actual prehistory" camp, there are quite a few fantasy mods already while there's literally none set in prehistoric times.

Do you guys plan to have dinosaurs? Saw one in a Screenshot, but didnt remember you mentioned it any time when you first released the thread.

Well yeah, I do not see a problem with doing what Zarthas said above. It would be just another one of those cool little features that make this mod great and unique. Mammoths and large wild animals are something vital. We will be working on systems such as hunting and wild animal encounters/ambushes in the future. Currently we have our own set agendas for the next few upcoming weeks. Zarthas has specified his so here is mine:
- Gathering (Mining, Food, Wood, Bone) - This is my top priority right now and what I will finish first.
- Totem/Birth sign system - This will be something you chose at start. You select a totem so for example, totem of the bear. This will put a wooden bear statue in your inventory which grants you extra bonuses, almost like a book.
- New map icons - I will be creating map icons for other factions such as the plainsmen (Grass huts etc.)
- New hairs - I will modify and expand on the current set of hairs that we have, because of the resources available to me I can make some cool variations.

I can't believe this. I have wanted this mod to be alive so badly and now I've found it. Thank you kind fellows for bringing a little of the good old stone age back into the gaming spotlight. If you need any help doing research or making guesses on how things would have worked back in that historical period (due to lack of reliable sources) I would be ever so eager to help.
