But!
Levels One through Three civilizations still fall only within the category of low-level civilizations...
It is only from Level Four to Level Six civilizations that one enters the category of mid-level civilizations.
The civilizations that manage to reach this stage are few and far between.
Only mid-level civilizations possess the opportunity to survive the catastrophes of an epoch.
An attack can be solved through unique technologies, but the paramount concern is survival.
Indeed, the greatest difference between Level Three and Level Four lies in the survival-focused Ideal Technology.
Only the living have a future.
Mid-level civilizations either have large-scale spatial abilities or methods of escape like drilling.
Therefore, the Shu Mi Dam Civilization believes that they were once a mid-level civilization. Even though they are now only a First-level Civilization, their ability to survive is not to be underestimated.
