Good answer. That's probably in 2nd place for the percentage of people affected. The short-lived Mongol Empire was, at its peak, the largest empire ever. The empire built the Spice Road, shattered ancient cities, and inadvertently brought Black Plague to Europe. Some historians credit the Mongols with inspiring the Renaissance, as Europeans realized that innovation was necessary to repel further attacks from a technologically superior foe.Vitor Goncalves said:
Pre-historic can be great, there were even better tools, stings, beaks, claws and fangs (who said you needed to play a primate).veloper said:
the original Buck Rogers and the 25th Century timeline where Mongolia gets all high-tech and invades the US with fleets of airships armed with disintegrators, America fighting back guerrilla warfare-style with rocket pistols and jump belts. i wonder sometimes if i'm the only one who's heard of all that, was fortunate as a kid to have this giant book full of the old Buck Rogers serials which i've frustratingly misplaced...
also an RTS where you travel back in time from the present and alter history for any one of first major empires, with campaigns for each one that have you rewrite history to your whims, all the way to the near future minimum (as long as you can ignore the inevitable temporal paradox questions).

any time there's conflict.
wow, that goes for every work of fiction: literature, film, videogames(we need to come up with a better, higher brow name for that)*insert thread idea here* Interactive media? Yep it works... anyway, yeah.
Anytime there's conflict there's bound to be an interesting story and gameplay can be built up around it.

THE FUTURE
I'm a huge fan of the DOW games. I love the mix of ancient (orks), modern facist (Tau) and futuristic (most everyone else) elements in the games.

I have to say I prefer the Medival Era. (English Medival, as I can actually think of a few others)
No-one else love castles? Longbows? No?
Ah well. I'm off to my courtyard.

It's been said in the sci-fi writing community -- and unfortunately I can't credit this -- that the future is the continuation of our history and it changes as we change our view of our own history.Scde2 said:
