  • Time machine wonder

    Build the thing and you can send back to your civ any single modern unit, such as armor or a battleship. You don't want to send it so far back that you can't buy fuel for it...

    Then you have to replay the entire game from the date you send it back to.

    Just for yucks.

      Another litmus test for the moddability of Civ4, if this is possible to mod, then just about anything will be, and it may make for an interesting mod.

      As for being included in the official release, not a snowballs chance in hell.

        Glad you guys like the idea so much.

        I doubt this will be moddable...

              Platypus Rex, talent there is, but you ask the impossible! How do you have a wonder permit you to send a unit back in time? Also, there is a time line that would exist though certainly the unit would create a paradox, much would not be effected. If a unit got killed in combat that wouldn't change. If a city built a granary, that wouldn't change, many things would remain the same. Volcanos...

                According to the theory of the multiverse, the unit would create a new timeline.

                btw.
                It´s a nice idea, but better suited für CtP2 as the tech-Tree of this game goes farther into the future.

                    Except for the fact that people don't usually keep a savefile from every turn in the game, so it's impossible...

                            That's what I was thinking. This would require the game to store every turn as a save game for when the player decided to go back in time. Talk about hogging drive space.

                            And, of course, it would be useless in MP games.

                              And why not a tech that brings you coffee when you play too late at night.
