Alot of my games seem to be over just when things start getting good and I start really getting modern techs. I almost always end after the 2050 retirement and I never continue playing on. I am wondering if many of you do continue to play on afterwards? I think I am going to start continuing my games on to the very end. I would really like to get some of these high level techs that I have never been able to get. Some of you must really be good to be able to achieve a science victory before 2050. That is downright admirable!

At 2050, I don't continue on since the score is no longer kept...so it's anti-climatic to say the least.

I play two more turns to rain nuclear fire down on anyone left just to watch the chaos that ensues.
But seriously play? No. I play Huge/Large maps. 20 to 45 hours a game is long enough."Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription is ... more cow bell!"Comment

Nope. I guess I would if the modern techs were a mystery to me - but they're not so there isn't any point.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

I haven't played Civ3 that much, but back in the days (with Civ1 and Civ2) I always played on... until all Civs (but one ) was wiped of the face of this planet...

I can't remember the last time one of my games made it to the 1800s. That includes SS wins. My last game ended around 1500, and I was midway though the industrial age (researching mass production, I think).
I play primarily on Monarch. Since the AI gets bonuses (growth, production, research, AI-to-AI trading), the tech pace moves pretty quickly, especially early in the game, before I've had a chance to do serious damage to the AI
. Later, assuming things go well, I can chime in with a 4-turn tech pace by the industrial age. Players who go the "peaceful builder" route tend to finish even earlier, since they don't break the AI, so the tech pace is even quicker.
Emperor & Deity move even faster.

On the higher levels I just can't get alot of those bloody modern techs. I normally check the year to see how I am doing and also of course the AI civs. For example when I am in 1940s I should have the techs for destroyers, battleships, carriers and aircraft. If I don't I assume that means I am behind on tech.-PrinceBimz-Comment

I selected the "Sometimes" option......which is fairly accurate. I generally play the game focused on winning via whatever victory condition I set, then once a winner is determined, I will play on based on whether I am enjoying the game or not. If I lose a game, I generally play on just to exact revenge on the winner. Im a major advocate of what I would call freeform or semi-freeform games. Give me the basic stuff to play a game, let me do the rest. Ive never liked scripted scenarios, missions or campaigns. Civ3, GalCiv, Moo3, IG2, and GTA3 are examples of games that allow for a lot of imagination and fun.Comment

I've never seen such dates in my games. The latest I've seen is somewhere in the 1890's...

I never played past 2050, because I often stop a game before victory. The modern age bores me because of the very long waitin times on huge+ maps (I know, I have it coming)"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident
