Same for me. The futuristic aspect of CtP was definitely great, we want some fusion tanks and space stations damnit

3000AD, and if you dont like it, finish earlier...!
I'd also prefer the game not to go into science-fiction. Its too open to going pear-shaped. Leave the future to a dedicated extension/expansion pack if demand is high enough for it.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

If you play the future, all feelings of reality are gone.
Pherhaps that's the reason why I never liked SMAC.
Playing civ is like you actually ARE one of the world leaders. CtP lost me in the end game, it's science fiction to run water and space-cities, but it isn't very satisfactional to my mind.Formerly known as "CyberShy"

I loved CtP, it is what introduced me to TBS. I cIV to go to 2200, that is probably the earliest we would have the technology to have inter-stellar travel. Also, the system that is colonized should be changed, I dought there is an earth-like planet at Alpha Centauri, it is a multiple star system, planetary orbits would not be stable.

We really don't need giant robots. This is not Battletech. They wouldn't stand much of a chance in a near/far future battlefield even if we developed the technology. Much of the mass is used to move and balance them anyway. Anything walking on a battlefield (including people ) is vulnerable."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

I want to see the game end in 2050, with a few near-future techs (definitely more outer space involvement). However, make sure that the number of eras is moddable so that people can go crazy with their giant robots and whatnot.

Totally agree with you DarkCloud.
Now there's a game I'd like to play! What would that be, Civ 73?
My vote would be around ~2100. My opinion is that Civ is just as much about where our civilation is GOING as it is about where we came FROM. How many people play the Zulu trying to recreate their defeat by the British? I like the idea of a Mars colonization being an end goal - afterall, we know WHAT we need, just not HOW to get it yet. It adds grandeur to the game. It could even be a vistory condition option, that way, if you don't want future technology at all, you can disable it and be done with modern technologies."Government isn't the solution to our problems; Government IS the problem." - Ronald Reagan
No, I don't have Civ4 yet...
