First Free Content Update Released for Dawn of Man

Madruga Works has released the first free content pack for their prehistoric city building sim, Dawn of Man.

The Spiritual Content Update features several new structures and statues designed to help recover the morale of your tribe, and raise their overall prestige. There’s also some new technology to research, including fish traps. You can read the full patch notes here, and check out a trailer above.

Here’s a rundown of the game:


Dawn of Man is a survival/city-builder from the creators of Planetbase. The game starts in the Stone Age, and takes you up to the Iron Age, spanning more than 10,000 years of human prehistory. Take control of a settlement of the first modern humans, guide them through the ages in their struggle for survival. You will have to get your people to survive, expand and evolve, just like our ancestors, facing the challenges that the environment will throw at you.

Key Features:

  • Hunt – Animals were a vital source of food and resources for ancient humans. Use their meat to feed your people and their skin and bones to make clothing and craft the tools you will need to stay alive. Confront Mammoths, Woolly Rhinos, Ancient Bison, Megaloceros, Cave Lions and other species that roamed the earth at the time.
  • Gather – Collect a variety resources from the environment: fruit, berries, water, wood, flint, stone, ores. Use them to prepare food, to make tools and to build structures in your settlement.
  • Plan for harsh times – Fish is more abundant in spring, berries and fruit can be collected in summer and animals are easier to come by when it’s warm. When winter comes, make sure to have enough non-perishable food and warm clothing in order to survive.
  • Expand and fortify your settlement – Build more homes and facilities for your people, in order to expand your population. Construct fortifications and craft weapons, so you are ready for when the inevitable conflict comes.
  • Research Technologies – Each new discovery will make it easier for your settlement to be able to support larger populations, but will also bring new challenges: increased food demand, morale issues and more frequent raider attacks.
  • Build Megalithic Structures – Our ancestors were capable of incredible engineering feats: mine massive rocks from the environment, transport them using sledges and construct colossal stone structures.
  • Control Nature – Unlock farming technologies to grow your own vegetables, so you can feed large amounts of people. Domesticate animals to produce food, resources and provide increased muscle power.

Dawn of Man is available on Windows PC and Mac via Steam and GOG for $24.99, and its currently 15% off. You can watch a video preview we did of the game here.
