Millennia Ancient Worlds

Millennia: Ancient Worlds is an expansion for Millennia that adds new choices for the early stages of the game. You begin before civilization with a small band of humans and guide its society as it evolves and adapts, gaining new abilities and experiences along with a new National Spirit and government type.

Start as nomads

The Nomadic Band Start opens with an unsettled group of travellers. Scavenge resources to strengthen the band, then choose when to settle and form a society. Megafauna stalk the land, threatening prehistoric nomads while creating opportunities for new events and experiences.

A Frozen Terrain start limits resource gathering at first. As the tundra melts, grasslands and forests are revealed, expanding into more hospitable settings.

New ways to govern

Band Society is a new starting government. Instead of building up a Homeland, Band Societies use Tribal Camps and potent short-term bonuses to gain an early lead. They also gain a Nomad Band, which can scavenge terrain and settle an additional Capital Region.

Messengers is an Age II National Spirit focused on early diplomacy. Give gifts to rival nations, gather resources from minor nations while preserving their independence, and gain benefits from the new Llama special good.

Natural landmarks

The expansion adds natural wonders to discover while exploring the world. Mount Jianglang, Iguazu Falls, the Great Redwood Forest and eight more Landmarks can appear on the map, each with its own new Expedition.
