Could equally well be played with lizardmen or other primitives.

Nice scenario. And seems you had a nice game.

However, in terms of realism I have a bit of a problem with it. Given
reasonable technology (say, available today or within a few years), how
likely is it that no trace of a stone-age population would be found in
a world-wide search ? If ruins have been found, we can be sure a
thorough search would happen.

Certainly, if the primitives have fire, that would stand out on
thermal/IR scanners carried by UAVs or satellites. Without fire, things
might be a bit more iffy.

If no potential enemy has been found, what is a full-scale military
patrol doing out there ? Some kind of exploring party or possibly
hunters might be more plausible.
