The World
Mankind lives on the planet Earth of course, it makes it easier to play without referring to a map as often. The world is a big place with lots of room for mighty empires and lowly peoples. But you won’t be alone out there, neither will be your small tribe, there will be others out there, taking their own paths forging their own destinies, NPCs will live here to. They can be an ally or a threat, you can annihilate them or let them live, depends totally on what path you take.
The Future
As we progress through time you get the opportunity to make your own technologies and inventions (stick to a time zone please so we don’t have laser weaponry against a roman empire styled people) as humans progress through time, as you make history. These inventions and technologies could lead to good, like; better lifestyles or maybe a war winning weapon or bad like; the total destruction of your lands.
In the future you have the chance to make a momentous event in the history of your people, a rebellion or revolution, lead this small group yourself against the people of your own making, maybe to punish those people for bad decisions or maybe because they enslaved others or maybe because you just didn’t like them. Rebellion of slaves can be easily put down if met with the right force so it had better be quick, or will it take your people by surprise. Will the revolution succeed in over throwing the government and erecting a new government in its place, these are all possibilities.
And in the distant future you can just control a single person in your empire, an influential person with great promise. This person could well be important or become important. They could rebuild your empire, make a world changing invention. But that person could be a trader, an influential, politically minded trader, they could build a trade empire that stretches across your empire, have bases in other empires and one day maybe he will use that trade empire to swallow up your empire and make it his own through the sheer amount of money.
There are many possibilities and many options and paths when you are making history.
“History is the witness of the times, the torch of the truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.”-Cicero
“History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.”-Edward Gibbon
Will that be true? You decide.
