Then vote on that.

One's very fond of the 20th century, the century that could have erased all mankind and all previous history.

The industrial age because sociology was born at that time.

Right here, right now. Good medical services, good juridical protection, no fear of starvation, war is highly unlikely. :)

I wouldn't mind if things were going a bit better for me personally, though. :p

Classical ages, a nice mix of war and social order.

I like the Ancient Ages, Ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia etc... There's a certain romanticism that goes along with those times I think, due to large vast Empires, and Wonders like the Pyramids. Also there is alot of mystery involving those times because only so much history was actually recorded, a bit of speculation is involved. Though in reality I realise that life must have been pretty damn hard for your average Joe.

If you have such a problem you should report it to thunderfall im sure he can help you.

The years 1939-1991. WWII and the Cold War that is.

If I were a rich and influent person, than I'd like to try the period when Rome was at its zenith. But not too much rich or influent though, otherwise I could forget about geting old.

i cant be bothered would take too much time, anyway i dont vote:)

1914-1939

When the world found its oats, one way, or the other. Especially 1921-1936, when the world found its oats in style.

You forgot to put in the time period btw, Rennaisance and Enlightenment.

I vote industrial age.

I prefer acient.

I'm also really into palentology.

For thousands of years before Alexander the Great, Egypt thrived on the banks of the Nile in a timelessness of tradition that has not been rivalled. When I think about "sustainable" society, Ancient Egypt is the dream I dream of. We can never go back, but those of us who were there will always wax nostalgic about the endless round of Ancient Evenings...

no i didn´t, they are there just like all the other

17-19th centuries. Every aspect of it is fascinating. Exploration, conquest, Empire, social conditions, even the clothes.

And of course we ruled the waves, which helps ;)

Classical ages, I suppose. I have a slight fondness for the period 323 - 280 BCE, but perhaps that is because I have dedicated an unfair ammount of study to it compared to the rest of the era.

My favourite period is from around 1850 to 1960's ish. I love studying those years.

What do you mean? You skipped the 1500's, 1600's. Thats the Age of Exploration.

You said that i forgot to put in the renaissance and the enlightment but they are there. If you ment the age of explorration it must be one og them. BTW i dont want to have a disscusion about where to split the time periods that belongs to another tread.

If you mean which is my favorite peiod to live in, I'd have to say now. No leeches or amputations without anaesthetic for me, thank you very much. However, if you mean which period I find most interesting, I'd have to go with the Middle Ages. The 14th Century had it all: The Black Plague, the Hundred Years' War, corruption in the church and in government, mass revolt and peasant uprisings. Not a good time to be alive, but it makes for interesting reading.

I mean the most interesting.

I like the colonial/discovery period in early North America (asside from the nasty stuff we did to the indians) I like the simple stories of Voyageurs, trappers, farmers, soldiers, buffalo runners, pioneers, prospecters etc.

I also like WW2, reading/learning about it, that is.

I like the Industrial age and the 1900s to 2000s. I also like the Middle Ages. Greece and fall of Rome are nice too.

Actually find a lot more boring periods than periods I like. Things I dont like are Egypt and before, Islam (no offense to anyone of Islamic faith), Africa and India(before Imperialism),First Americans (except for the more modern ones with US influence, Renaissance, Enlightment (not American Revolution)

Oh yeah, how is the Dark Ages option different from the Middle Ages option? Both were about (I dont mean exactly, but about) the same in warfare.

You didn't have mine listed but my favorite period is right after a big breakfast while I'm sitting on the toilet smoking a cigarette, drinking my morning coffee and reading the paper

:D

hmm. thats odd, the renaissance is very unpopular

I think it's because what was good about this period took place within a relatively small area, namely the Italian city states.
I also think the renaissance is a term more associated with the re-birth of science and the arts, not the wars, explorations and political events.

On the other hand the Thirty Years War is very interesting. Maybe you should do a civ3 scenario about that. (prepare to be frustrated, though)

post that in the creation forum;)

I HATE the Renaissance. IMO its just about the most boring period in history. I dont CARE about the art. I dont CARE if shakespeare wrote a million plays. The only thing I find mildly interesting is how the church tried to suppress Copernicus and Galileo :rolleyes:

Right here, right now. Times have never been better. I may love to read and study history, but I have no desire to go live it.

Hard to chose ;). I mosly like all of the time periods that date from the Greek and Roman times right to the present :).

I'm quite intrigued by the Three Kingdoms and the warring states periods in china as well as the Persian and Peloponnesian wars and the war between Rome and Carthage.

You missed the period between the death of Alexander to the fall of Rome. That's about half the history of Rome!

For my favorite time period, I would have to say the late republican period in Roman History. The rise and fall of Rome's greatest leader, Julius Caesar, as well as the height of roman rhetoric (Cicero, Cato).
