This is true and I'm not sure if it was stated that the end of so called *civilized* society was caused by a world war(note I have not played this game yet but I am downloading as I work on this reply so don't shoot me if I am ignorant of the game plot/lore)
But if the End was due to a war then depending on what WMDs were used where and when juring the the War the whole world could have been rendered plantless in which case humanity is fuck and not not in a good way given that plants take in CO2 and produce O2 so with that in mind fighting over the scraps of the Old World would be pointless in the face of the loss of oxygen over time and no way to replace the CO2 with new/fresh oxygen.
Really?, well I can agree that having a mass population die off would free up a lot of resources but unless the bodies of the dead were dealt with in a reasonable amount of time the surviving people would be at risk of death due to who knows what kind of diseases would crop up from all the dead bodies and if the area was subjected to any nuclear, biological or chemical weapons then with the bodies of the dead that where exposed to NBC weapons by spawn of new, mutant diseases that no one could cule or contaminate all the freed up water from the death of so many people.
Perhaps the Nile is heavily controlled by a group of bands and tribes and that's overall an excellent thing since they would have re-developed agriculture and less logistically intensive forms of warfare (spears for example, a lot of spears. Also, making your spear entirely out of metal would be retarded, you want to be efficient in all resources you can get, think about fortresses of broken concrete and a strong artesanal basis for the production of weapons: few have survived, those who can make usable weapons will be the first to get high-ranking positions after the actual leaders, followed quickly by those who know how to start farms. If MC's city-state is relevant to the region in any shape or form it would have a solid hierarchy, think about Ur or Babylon but with the remains of a far more powerful civilization to try and learn from. Also, as soon as fuel runs out definitely the nomads in Asia who survived will have a fantastic time with their horses and archery.[/quote]
Makes sense and I think the three Old World techs that the survivors would want to retain would be that of weapons/firearms, food and water related tech and medical tech, at lest that's what would make the most sense to me.
Why do you say that for? and who or what are these Sea People you speak of, are they some long lost civl in that region who rised all sorts of hell back in the day?
I understand what you are saying but depending on the nature of the end of the Old World was and how bad it was it might take a bit longer for the human race to repopulate where the risk of total extinction was nulled then a few decades, also consider that the ratio of survivors world wide would not be the same for every nation that survived the end of the Old World which could be something worked into this game some time down the line.
An interesting line of thought.
