Favorite type of NES?

[Abaddon]

Now, assume it is being run by your favorite mod, to the best of their abilitys.

This question is more about the era/setting.

Poll a'comin

 

[Flavius Aetius]

Fresh Starts and Medieval Althistoryes. Especially Advanced Fresh Starts, but currently there is only one in the forum...

You will pardon me if I abstain for now; I keep changing my mind on this matter (but I think I like "Earth Based Alt Hist (Tanks)" and "Total Fantasy Fresh Start (Bronze)" the most as of now). Also, what is meant under Fantasy Earth?

 

[Abaddon]

Earth, but not based in history, not even a alt-hist.

Think aliens, think selected cradles...erm, basically anything that uses the earth as its map, but isn't historically factual...My NES could be an example..

 

[das]

Technically, fresh starts aren't all that historically factual either, though I suppose I could see the distinction between realistic fresh starts and old school ones.

 

[Abaddon]

true, but perhaps they will have the obvious locations where you can start a civ.. and people will chose names like Rome and Egypt..


Its only a small section really.. but once i had started dividing everything into B,K,T,S i kept with it

 

[Captain2]

anything based around 1900 or earlier, I dislike the whole nuke standoff

 

[Niklas]

AFSNES for the win!

Historical NESes. 1700-2008. I enjoy role playing... in bed

 

[JosefStalinator]

Alt Hist in the era between knights and tanks .

 

[bombshoo]

Anything real world based (Including alt-history) between 1500 and 2008 AD

 

[Dachs]

Alt Hist in the era between knights and tanks .

Dachspmg agrees with this statement, except he wishes to include tanks up to the point of the technological level of 1945 or so. A-bombs and other atomic-style weapons can be really annoying to deal with in the hands of nubcakes.

I tend to like everything from the bronze age to the modern age, and even some eras before and after those. I prefer cradles to Earth for fresh starts, simply because it adds a depth of realism in that we don't know where the continents are. However, I still like Earth fresh starts, as well as alternate histories.

A-bombs and other atomic-style weapons can be really annoying to deal with in the hands of nubcakes.

I tend to agree with this. I think it may become necessary for mods to include strict controls on how nuclear weapons can be used.

 

[Symphony D.]

Tanks and Space, Tanks and Space, Tanks and Space, generally disinclined to anything directly historical in origin unless the mod is really good.

 

[~Darkening~]

Anything unique- if I've done something before, then I tend to get bored and do stupid(er) things.

 

[LittleBoots]

Generally have to say its more the mod than the setting, for me. My favourites have been 1494-1936, although INES (0-700 AD) was one of my all-time favourites. Never played in a serious space NES, although I'd love to try one out, I love the era.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I like all sorts of stuff...

 

[Symphony D.]

Like is a different concept from Favorite.

 

[Birdjaguar]

I like cradle based games for the exploration and I like it grounded in history rather than fantasy or space. For me war got less interesting after 1865.

 

[Justo]

I think 1700-1940s is the best before nukes came along plenty of diplomacy. Possibility of war since people don't have nukes to stalemate everything and no chance of nuclear destruction.
