The First Men

Description

The First Men is a real-time 4x strategy/fantasy sim. Players are able to establish a civilization. The first step is customising the first humans and going from there. Crucially, diplomacy, warfare and settlement management are big aspects of the game.

The official synopsis states that ‘six eras have been passed’ and ‘the world and the cosmos have been created’. Importantly, ‘all the creatures that walk, swim, crawl and fly’ have already taken their first steps on the earth. However, humans are yet to walk the earth, and the game picks up at exactly this point.
