You remember stories about an ancient sect of priests that frightened the children when you were young. But an old scroll has just been found that proves they really existed, and describes the stone circle that was the source of their power.

If one of your neighbours finds it first, they will use its power to conquer your civilisation! Multiplayer also : Yes
The introduction promises something a little different from the standard TC and 3 villies in Stone Age conquest scenario.

The only concession to creativity is a ruins and the victory conditions. I did not play this one through.
