Overview
As this is the first era of the game the Stone Age acts as a pseudo-tutorial for the player. The player cannot be attacked, the chances of scouts being attacked is very low and the minimum doom value is 0. The player should use this opportunity to train key characters in peace while the game is still simple such as scouts and craftsmen.

Over the course of this era the player will move from wood based items to tin based items which provide increased stats.

The Player should be careful to ensure that all villages are properly geared before moving on the the Early Bronze Age otherwise they could fall victim to attacks.
