What is your favorite era in civ?

[Iron Clad]

I like medieval. The Units are cool and its more fun battling with medieval units.

industrial age .damn i love railroads

 

[Twonky]

I voted for Medieval Age. War is more fun here. Once you are in Industrial Age the fighting is either a boring question of logistics or a deadly thing that makes me switch of the computer.

 

[NWOG]

Industrial age, and especially Modern times.

 

[Breunor]

I guess I'm going for ancient. Fortunately or not, I find that the epic game is usually won or lost in the ancient age. Sometimes, I feel that if I have expanded enough, the game loses some of its tension. You still have to play well, of course, but its not quite the same.

Ancient Age... Quick Turns

 

[HamaticBabylon]

Industrial..

 

[soul_warrior]

medieval times are for me. all the truly great wonders are there, a nice mix of techs and units, and wars are also arriving.

 

[StavrosMelb]

I used to love the Modern era at first, but as I've progressed from the lower levels up, I have started to appreciate the Ancient and Medieval ages more.

Have to vote for Ancient though, with the right civ with the right UU you can crush a civ or 2 before the rest of the world knows about it, too much fun.

Ancient. This may be due to me being a compulsive restarter for a long time, but I think it has more to do with expansion being fun. You expore, and found your cities without competition. All you have to manage is getting roads to everything and racing to get settlers out with juuuuuust enough protection not to get invaded. Of course, I imagine expansion would be more boring for people playing on random maps. I basically play huge 60% pangea exclusively.

I'm suprised people like to war in the Middle Ages. If I could, I'd use that time just to build since I can't expand anymore, but when I play on emperor stopping to smell the roses isn't really an option.

In the industrial ages you get everything built, and have nothing to put shields towards but units. That's when you go to war. Of course, at that point it sucks since you have to use stacks of 20 units to get metros, but at least it's not the logistical nightmare of huge pangea war in the middle ages when all you have are roads.

 

[Bluemofia]

Industrial. Bombers are cool.

 

[Mordack]

medieval

that's when the winner is usually determined

 

[azzaman333]

modern because of 1 word.
NUKES

 

[ongwin]

Industrial age, coz thats where the real killing starts. (Artillery)

 

[Empiremaker]

Industrial. Artillery becomes effecive, get metros, factories, planes, good ships, tanks, and airports. Those things make the game more interesting. I don't like getting hit by nukes, so I didn't choose Modern Era, though MA is fun.

 

[Swiss Bezerker]

Late medieval.All the units are perfectly balance at this time,Tons of branchs off the tech tree, and as people before me have said,this is where the big powers of the game are decided

 

[rainmaker]

Medieval
Lots of nice units become available, usually get GA, some important wonders, and decisions on which branch of the tech tree to start on. by the end of themedieval period the eventual winner is usually clear.

The one thing I hate about this era is having to decide which direction to head on the tech road. I want it all at the same time.

 

[NintendoNut]

Industrial. This is win I usually pull a from the AI in tech. TOE rocks!

 

[cheesejoff]

Industrial. Conscript rush!

 

[soloiscool]
