Field notes
The progression system runs from lone wanderers through bands, tribes, villages, chiefdoms, kingdoms, and empires, each with stated population or settlement conditions. The simulation also tracks longer-running changes: children inherit some traits, discoveries emerge from repeated conditions, and the page says famine can affect prices and unrest. Its Valley Almanac is presented as a recurring account of feuds, alliances, and unresolved storylines.
