Some of the first things you can do is build probes to go into orbit, then rockets that can go into cislunar space, and then hopefully you can reach to the moon (and eventually the entire universe). But like most things, certain technology can only get you so far. The tech tree will allow you to research new technology to in order for you to travel into space. You can build cities in space and extend your empire beyond Earth.
So the mod actually allows you to explore space with new space terrain (I've listed the kind of terrain above) and units to do so. The theme of this mod is to allow players to start off as primitive caveman and eventually become these god-like beings in control of the universe. So in this mod, Caveman2Cosmos (link below) : I’m definitely excited to play this map when it is finished. I made 3 full pages of written notes to help with my map design and 7 pages of additional notes. The Earth took the longest to create at around 10 days, while the other 3 regions were finished in one sitting. In the photo, the Earth, Moon, Inner solar system, and the sun regions are finished. To those familiar with the mod, the map will include: So I decided to build a map myself in world builder to do so. However, the maps provided by the mod never provided a map to cater to all those space regions. A feature to Caveman2Cosmos is that eventually your civilization has the ability to explore and colonize the far reaches of space including the solar system, the galaxy, the entire universe and beyond. Link below for mod description: ĭefinitely would recommend checking the mod out (734 additional technologies to research). Caveman2Cosmos is an overhaul mod for Civilization IV.
