[Naima]

Could it be a Sci Fi map of a preistoric world? or it would be classified as a modern tech map ?

I would say yeah, as long as the world/landscape is in an untamed and wild state

Because I read that it needed to have

"Just as long as those humans live in harsh enough conditions, caves, stick huts, etc."

...so not sure ...

As with all these challenges, ultimately what passes as 'counting' is up to the voters - if some people don't think it counts they likely won't vote for it.

It is an odd one, I agree, but I think it boils down to a 'primitive' aesthetic and a power balance where nature is overwhelming civilisation. People are surviving, but not thriving and taming the wilds. So if we take that to scifi - an outpost on a wild alien planet full of dinosaurs would count in my opinion, but a scifi zoo with dinosaur pens probably wouldn't. Another example in recent games is Horizon: Zero Dawn, I would count that as a primitive world - even though the beasts and wild creatures humanity is just about surviving alongside are machines.

Again, the challenge definitions are always very subjective so go with your gut
