[monotonous]

i like industrial age, personally i find that history fascinating, it's also exciting to play in the game, i like building railroads, factories, hospitals and stock changes, and watch my cities become big and lots of happy faces

 

[Spoonwood]

post-modern.

 

[Gazmeister]

Industrial age.

 

[darski]

I always enjoy the Ancient age the most. it is exciting to see what Civ has provided for your gaming pleasure. It is most certainly not dull

 

[marceagleye]

I agree with Darski. The ancient age is the best, especially with barbarian level set to "raging!"

 

[Hellfiredoom]

AA. I love exploring virgin territory.

Same here. Industrial age is usually when my dominance really starts to show. Some of the most critical techs are in this age - Steam Power, Replaceable Parts, Motorized Transportation are all critical techs.

I'm not sold on stock exchanges, although I usually build them just for the heck of it. If you use CxxC spacing you won't need hospitals.

This. However, being more of a "builder", the industrial age iss fun too.

In Civ2 I love the modern world with terraforming etc. In CivIII the industrial age and early modern when the diplomatic puzzle with the pacts (and ressources) is going to be played out.

I also like the exploration in AA but the decision were to put the cities and the race to get the wonders stresses me out every time.

I like industrial age. Draft riflemen and send them to war! Almost all the major technologies are in the industrial age.

 

[Verarde]

Love AA for the "brand new world" and Industrial for rails and the host of wonders and units that beckon to your call.

 

[FrozenSphere]

Ancient Age. It's the most exciting and addicting because I feel like the game is really decided then. I'm playing a game now in which we are all in the midst of the medieval times, and already I feel like it's pretty inevitable that I will win. I am in the lead in techs, have the resources, a big territory, etc. It's starting to feel a little bit like I'm playing SimCity or something... not really a challenge anymore.

 

[Elite]

late Medieval era, Gunpowder is coming into effect but don't dominate the battlefield just yet.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

Industrial era, from riflemen to tanks I just love the whole thing.

 

[Quasar1011]

I love the ancient as best as well. After all, decisions you make then, affect your later ages.

In Civ2 I love the modern world with terraforming etc.

Try having a worker "clear forest" on a hill and see what happens.

Hard to pick a favorite... Like the others, I enjoy exploring in the ancient age. Getting those roads and initial cities down. The Medieval age features fun wonders and wars; I've had enough time to build up my forces and can kick some butt. All those workers end up loafing for the second half of medieval -- and then come the railroads in the Industrial. Go riflemen! Go Infantry! Tanks, tanks, tanks!

By the time I get to Modern, I just want to be done. Spaceship parts seem to take forever to build. I might enjoy it more if I were playing on a harder difficulty, where I'm actually racing an AI to build my spaceship. I guess my favorite is Industrial, when I have a tech lead.
