So upon reaching a new Era, the previous rules are disregarded in favour of the new Era. Okay, that makes sense. What about the Era goals, though? Do we have to complete them within the Era they're created in (like having kids with different mates in the Prehistoric Era), or can it be completed by anyone who was born in that Era even if it moves onto a new one? (E.g. the Ancestors can complete the 'have kids with five people' goal in the Early Civilisation Era.)

As it says in the Era section, the Era goals can only be completed while that Era is active. (Did I say "Era" enough times?)

There is this new off-the-grid lot trait coming up with the latest patch. Might be quite interesting for this kind of challenge.

I did know this lot trait was coming, but decided not to require it for the challenge. Partially because I wasn't sure what items it would effect, but also because it didn't seem necessary to add a rule for it. I'm sure it will work great with the first few Eras, and people are more than welcome to use it if they want to!

one thing I thought would be added too early civilization is tea and coffee and wine and beer all these were invented by early civilization.

While you are correct, the in-game ways of making these drinks are all very high-tech and would overall be more immersion breaking if I were to put them into Early Civ. If we had a way to grind our own tea leaves and boil water on a grill, for example, that would be much more realistic to the challenge.
