♦ REBORN ♦ REDONE ♦ REMASTERED ♦
What is Dawn of Man?
Dawn of Man is a Mount and Blade: Warband total conversion modification which aims to set the medieval game play a few thousand years back from the medieval period and into the rough, raw and unforgiving world of the stone age. Although our exact time-scale is not yet precisely set, we are roughly based on the late Mesolithic period where technologies such as farming and herding of cattle were becoming much more prominent while the homo species narrowed day by day. This is the official continuation of the original Dawn of Man mod however it is being remade from scratch, old features are being remastered and new features are added. We hope you follow our mod and enjoy the content we post!
Features
This mod is a total conversion modification which means most of the native content will either be removed or replaced. To be updated with a complete list.
Factions/Clans
This is some rough ideas of the clans that are going to be in the game. We both have similar ideas and we are going to merge them to create awesome and unique factions.
From Zarthas:
-- Hynn Clan --
-- Equipment -- Wear a lot of leather clothing, particularly goat-skin, from the semi-domesticated goats native to their area. Are somewhat adept at knapping and polishing flint blades, and are some of the best slingers. Woven grass cloaks are primitive raincoats.
-- Clan Items -- Staff Sling, War Dog (Not done yet
)
-- Settlements -- Permanent. Wood, Clay, and Straw huts.
-- Major Food Supply --Rudimentary agriculture, purposely piling seeds into certain areas so they know these plants will grow next year etc.
-- Eaters-of-the-Dead --
--Equipment -- Are unable to flint or knap stone. Use mostly bone and wood implements, only rudimentary clothing. High-tier troops have stolen stone-headed axes and hammers. 'Worship' fire, and are incapable of making it themselves.
--Clan Items -- Bear-Jaw Club (Not Done ) Skull Masks
--Settlements -- Permanent. Live in the caves in the side of mountains of their homeland.
-- Food Supply -- Captured enemies. Hunted game.
-- Clan of the Cave Bear --
--Equipment -- Can produce knapped stone tools. Are fond of large spears that are too heavy for most humans to use. Wear mostly fur garments to keep out the cold.
-- Clan Items -- Pikes
-- Settlements -- Semi-Nomadic. Move as game becomes less plentiful. Caves.
-- Food Supply -- Mostly hunts large game, forage for plants.
Children of the Sun --
-- Equipment -- Area they live in is quite warm. Wear little clothing, and have a special hatred for footwear, as their culture learns to run barefoot. Are capable of knapping stone, but there is little quality flint in their land. Use mostly wooden weapons, especially throwing sticks and clubs.
-- Clan Items -- Handspear, Boomerang
-- Settlements -- Semi-Nomadic. Mud and Straw huts.
-- Food Supply -- Foraging, Hunts small game, Hunts Large Game.
Islanders -- (Not in Game currently)
--Equipment -- There is no knappable stone on their islands, so they never learned to use it. There are native hardwoods that can create effective clubs, and they use bone-tips in place of stone.
-- Clan Items -- Flat Clubs, Bark Cloth
-- Settlements -- Permanent
-- Food Supply -- Fish, large game, foraging.

Dawn Of Man:
August, 2009 - Zarthas' computer is damaged during a storm, destroying my monitor. Computer works for a few days, then the HD makes a croaking noise and dies.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn of Man Reborn, Redone, Remastered:
End of September 2014 - I (9jakub9) break my leg resulting in halting work for a few weeks, as soon as i go back to work i realise that i am working with the wrong version of M&B which forced me to restart.
Numerous other undocumented things have happened to me in continued development of this mod, including my laptop literally melting to the point beyond repair. However as of April 2016, the mod
is still under development and the curse is broken... or is it?
