Basically this is a half baked mod idea which I'm not sure anyone would even like.
You control a caveman who's first aspiration is to research fire then work his way up to metal processing and eventually electric and the "normal" game.

You'd start off not being able to use iron , copper or coal and only have access to sticks and stones.
Sticks would be a new resource.

Research would be conducted by your caveman banging sticks and stones together on a rock bench (primitive research ftw)

I realize that many people probably wouldn't be interested as it would make the beginning even slower than normal lol.

But I thought I'd share the idea and see if any modder would be interested.

I like the Idea .

If you mod it, i volunteer for tester

I wish I could mod.

It was my hope someone might run with the idea.

Wouldn't neccesarily make it slower. Would make it more.... Interesting? Perhaps even a bit more challenging I like the idea. I am however working on a mod of my own. I would suggest you to make it on your own though! Anyone can learn Lua! just have a bit of sturdyness and dedication and you will have your mod in no time !

I think there are already a few mods around on that concept that might (or might not) fit your desire for stone ageness :

This mod helps you stay longer in early age by multiplying requirements to get out of the coal age
