It's amazing there are still so many uncontacted tribes like this out there in the world. Can't help but imagine what would happen if they were suddenly introduced to the world we know with electronics and cars.

I'm sure the Jesus freaks will be clammoring to convert them to Christianity. They'll get someone down there to fuck them in the head soon I'm sure.

Yeah. And the fires.

Hey, they just finished researching archery, it'll be at least 25 turns before they discover Animal Husbandry...

man.. I got over my Civ addiction by uninstalling it from any/all machines I had contact with. Now you just want me to get back on that fast-track to Modern Armor don't you?

They could be captured and used for studies to see how a 300 year old frozen tribesman would react to a modern civilization

or you could give them some of the 'special' blankets as gifts... you know... those kind

No they need to learn Parthian Tactics first before they're ready to move on from archery...

there are plenty of unconnected tripes like this around the globe. El Dorado still remains a mystery. well....it was until Indiana Jones discovered it.

Turns out it was aliens.

I was wondering that too.

Probably the same reason we still call the Americas the 'New World' and the rest 'Old World'. Europeanization left over? If it works, why change it.

send Steve-O down there, I remember on Wild Boyz where they went to somewhere in South America and were chilling with a tribe who had zero contact with the outside world ever.
