miss them planet busters..

..from alpha centauri,they should make something like that for civ4.

-take your empty threats elswhere!

-oh we'll just see what's gonna be empty now baby..

I actually think this has been mentioned before...

correct you are! and a simple trip to the current topics thread can tell you where, remeber, before you post a new idea for civ4, make sure it's not already an idea listed in the current topics thread:

sorry,didnt read the stickee ...but that means that it apsolutely must be in the future game

 

[Dida]

Nah, I don't like the planet buster.

Stick to History I say - although I don't see why people couldn't mod the game for a 'future era' scenario if they wanted to do.

 

[Albow]

why oh why do people keep saying that Civ is only history ... check out the techs in the 'modern' era and tell me that it is all history!

PS nukes in civ currently are way way waaaaaaaaay underpowered! I mean, we are talking about WW2 nuke capacity ... I want to see civ have nuke bomb, like current and then the more modern ICBM which takes out a city in totality!

I took the liberty of looking at the Modern Era Techs. This is what I found:

Ecology - I'd say that's happening now
Rocketry - About 60 years old and going strong
Fission - Nuclear bomb anyone?
Computers - What am I using now?
Recycling - We don't use it as much as we should, but we have it
Space Flight - Say all you want about the Moon landings, but we've been to space.....sometime in bloody balloons!
Nuclear Power - Doesn't Japan have like 13 of these or something? Geography is but a distant memory now.....
Miniaturization - I'm not sure what this really is, but we do have offshore platfroms, I know that.
Synthetic Fibres - We can thank Mr Goodyear for an important one of those.
Superconductor - Possible, but we can't yet tap into it the way we'd like to.
Satellites - We've never looked back since Sputnik
Laser - Where would we be without Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation? A lot more imprecise, that's what.
Genetics - If you haven't seen the big debate over it, where have you been?
Stealth - By definition we wouldn't know if it was here ..... but the USAF told us and showed us it, so it is here in our time.
Smart Weapons - The fact that they regularly make mistakes means they definately have some kind of intelligence
Robotics - Been to a Ford plant recently?
Intergrated Defense - The system's not yet in place, but we do have the tech for it.....we almost had one in the 80's.

The only thing that's 'future' about modern era is the Alpha Centauri thing.....which IMHO is stupid, it should have been the Moon Landing.

You may be wondering how I equate 'modern tech' with history - well if it's happened, it's history!

 

[Albow]

fair enought about your logic ... I stand mostly corrected ...

 

[Spatula]

I'm just pedantic that's all.

 

[Albow]

i thought there was a cold fusion tech, but could be my faulty memory ...

 

[Juka The Dumb]

who cares if they go a little in the future,they go to the spaceship 2fast

There was a "fusion power" tech back in Civs 1&2, but it was taken out of 3.
