Flamand
The Visible Elder!
As Trekkies are notorious for technobabble, I reserved this little tread for this purpose.
I would say First Contact makes the most sense this day and age as the '90s passed without any large scale conflicts with genetically modified humans...
I would like to mention this. While watching the series Enterprise. It was clarified that the Eugenics War took place after WW3. And the reason for the war was to purify the genetic damage caused by the nuclear/biological/chemical weapons used in WW3. Now just as to the exact dates....thats another story. If you ever tried to match star dates with events. You will find that some do not match up like they should. One of those fun Trekie bloops. I would suggest that instead of being concerned about exact dates. That you just try to follow a general time line. Which would be: WW3...Eugenics War....First Contact....Enterprise....ect. Not trying to rain on your parade...just offering some information. If I can be of some help. Let me know. I was there in front of the tv in the 60's. When Star Trek first appeared. And have followed it since.

Strictly speaking it doesn't matter for this mod what WW III was, since First Contact was well after that...
Basically yes, except that the last era could be called "post-TNG".Have to agree with you on that Flamand. After all as the civ game works in the general sense. Of a Ancient, Middle, Industrial, and Modern age. That is really what should be focused on. Unless you have changed your thoughts. I understand that the ages would be broken down to "Enterprise", "Original Star Trek", "Next Generation" and "DS9/Voyager". So it would seem as long as you can fit into those ages the bridges for each Era. You really can not go wrong.

@Thor: as established in the welcome thread, we follow Gene all the way. But I do like to connect Trek to our own history...
Lol, I can understand that my friend. And you are da boss calling the shots on this one. I can only point out the discrepencies you as leader get to deal with.
I can only appreciate that... Trek is far away from now to stay plausible enough as a future if you don't take the references to the past to literally... As I would consider this only minor canon, I'd say it's ok in this case...
At ease and well done...I WILL be vigilant in my canon duties SIR!
Actually this should be called "Star Trek treknobabble", which is technobabble about Star Trek.
One other thing. Please make a version of this mod for CIV4!
