This idea came to me in another thread about "3d grid" etc while thinking about a solution for the following problem:
People don't get to play with modern tech for two reasons:
1. It takes to long to reach modern time when starting in ancient time. Simply because people can't play 20 hours non stop etc.
2. Starting a new civ from scratch with one city and modern technology is totally stupid and useless it still takes way too long before anything can be build etc I think it's pretty stupid/lame
The solution seems pretty simply:
Alternative 1. Have the game generate a pre-build civilization/land for each player and play from there onwards
Alternative 2. Allow the player to create it's own civilization and save it and then later use it and then later generate extra land between all players and continue from there.
Alternative 2.1:
The player first has to play an offline game where he is all alone in ancient time. The land is generated and he has to colonize it.
He has to do this within a certain time limit. Every player has the same time limit. So he has to make decision on what to do with his time.
Then the civlization that he build is saved and later used for online play in modern time
Seems like a very cool solution to me
Let the hi-tech wars begin !!!!
