[DoC] I have finished the First Era build-chart, which is an experimental way of handling the interface in an RTS setting. Basically, when you select an Era to build from, a chart of possible construction options is displayed - showing building options, technologies to research, and their prerequisites. It allows you to handle all types of construction from one place, as well as showing you exactly what you need to do to build any given thing.

The first Era Chart looks like the following image:

I have also finished all the buildings for this Era. (9 total) They are as follows:

* Dirt Path - a simple road that does not give movement bonuses, but which is used to connect buildings to the town.

* Hut - a reed-walled hut. It adds two Worker Slots to your town. In order to unlock Era 2, you must supply 5 Huts with food and water.

* Well - a stone well. The most primitive water source, it can supply water to houses within 3 map squares.

* Storage Pit - the first "Research Building." Building this is required to unlock all resource buildings, as well as the barracks. It is generally the first building you should make. It requires 5 Workers to operate.

* Woodcutter - This resource building will, when built near a forest, provide you with a steady income of wood. It requires 1 Worker to operate.

* Mining camp - This resource building can harvest Stone, Copper, Iron, and Gold when built nearby a deposit of the resource. It requires 2 Workers to operate.

* Fishing Hut - This building, the cheapest of the Food Procurement buildings, gives you a steady income of Food when built near the water. Its prerequisite is the relatively cheap "Fishing" technology. It requires 1 Worker to operate.

* Hunter's Hut - This building allows you to obtain food when not near water sources. Placing it near a forest gives you food income - although this income fluxuates a lot more than does that of the Fishing Hut. Building the Hunter's Hut requires that you first research Archery at the Storage Pit. It requires 1 Worker to operate.

* Barracks - The Barracks is the first military building you can build. In the first Era, it allows you to build the Militia and (when you research Archery) the Bowman. It is a major investment for any village, and requires ten Workers to operate.

I will give something to anyone who can decipher the following image:
