Caveman v3.0 - a Paleo-world simulation.

when discussing what to do when you're high level, one of the things discussed was gatherings of your band with other bands of cavemen, similar to an Althang. so "multi-band gatherings" went on the todo list.

later, "special encounter areas" was added as a new feature. one of the possible types of special encounter areas is a friendly encounter area - a place where you tend to encounter a lot of friendly cavemen. the game map calls them "local gathering areas" - IE places where cavemen gather. These areas provide good opportunities for trade and socialization for the player. i was thinking that these areas might be good enough, and there's no need for a separate althang meeting type game feature.
