Ah I'm with you. Ah yes their are a lot of civilisations it would be fascinating to know more about. But realistically without any colonisation, a number of them would have collapsed all on their own.

Yeah unfortunately that seems to be the way of life. You can only get so big before you implode

Yeah exactly. Plus not every area has the same wealth of resources. And often their just wasn't enough for everyone.

And then you take into seasonal shifts, leading to migrations into account, really your only option is invade someone else or starve to death.
