I know many modders are planning to completely different directions with their Civilization 5 mods, but I plan on sticking to something very similar to RoM: AND. I really like a historical game, and I know many of you do too. It's going to take a long time to build back up to the level of content we have now, but I'm sure I can do it. The one area that may see the most changes is the Future Era's and beyond. I will try and see if I can't make a divergent future era, with multiple tech paths possible, so you could have one hive-mind technecracy battling a neo-libertarian factory paradise side by side. I don't want to limit players to what *I* think the future will most likely hold, and allow more possibilities. It should be a lot of fun, but a lot of work too.
I've also heard speculation that Zappara will not be continuing Rise of Mankind, so I will probably be alone this time.
But I expect to see many of you again in my new Civ5 forums.
If anyone has a really good name for the next iteration of RoM & AND, let me know.
