Favourite Age

[Dauphin]

I prefer the late 19th early 20th century. Modern warfare without the Nukes.

Oh heck...lets face it each age has a facet to it. You're beginning to convince me about the modern age!

Locutus - I warned you before about offering SLIC help. you will regret it! Does the Collective allow real life outside of CTP2?
If I can help with the history MOD then give us a shout (I owe you one)

Ah, yes, that is definitely true...

Hey, assimilating species is hard work, you know!

I voted the "whenever" category simply because this is the reason I play "civ" type games - - - namely, to experience the full gamut of civilizationary evolution (i don't think civilizationary is a real word)

I actually agree with most everyone's opinion here.. for instance, I love the uncertainty of the early stone age, and I like imagining the medieval times, and I enjoy seeing the flowering of my culture as I try to beat others to landmark advancements such as gunpowder....

Yet perhaps because I am a self-made amateur student of history/sociology/technology (as well as other scientific fields) that I find EVERY age interesting to imagine and play.

The progression thru the ages is what made me a fan of the game and keeps me freshly "in love" with it.

Whatever makes you like the game, go with it! CTP and the civ games in principle are classics in this sense. I especially love the mods available for CTPII where you can focus on certain ages.

LONG LIVE CTP

One hundred and seventy oarsmen pulling as one, the oars flashing together. The trireme's bronze ram rises out of the water, shimmering in the weak sun. Then comes the crash of timbers and the crys of the stricken crew as their ship begins to settle. Few of them can swim, and those that can will be easy targets for the naval archers....

The rumble of chariot wheels as the Hittite units roll south, contesting with Egyptian columns for the ownership of battered Phoenicia...

The crunch of compacting snow as Carthaginian war elephants mount the final Alpinian grade. Between the Gauls and the weather, 20,000 lives have been lost in the mountain crossing...

Driven by Alexander, his milatary and forced labrorers struggle to drive a causeway a half mile out to the island city of Tyre. Regardless of the archery attacks and the fireships sent against him, he will see the city destroyed after a horiffic seven month siege...

1000BC - 0. Really, everything after that is just historical epilgue.
