I'm looking at final changes and everything from age 74 is the same in age 75. Since you are playing the same age again I would like to know your opinion if you would play again from Age 1.

Well one perspective would be perpetual ages without changes for years on end. This'd probably be the best case scenario if the game was to end.
IMHO the devs like where the game is for now and are simply sculpting the product. This isn't so surprising as product development goes. I can understand how it might appeal to some and not to others. We might not be giving the devs credit for proposed changes in age 80; big splashes on the 10s.
Fewer changes = fewer bugs I assume. They made some 'big' changes (anything mechanics related counts) and those will haunt us with their lackluster implementation (to say nothing of the fact some are horrible).Quote:

Also, maybe alternating between two similar ages and an age or two of radically different changes would he nice. As it stands the game has traditionally lacked continuity between ages, and when admins did try (or were lazy), subsequent changes the following age would be meet with a chorus of crying.
So while I predict the same result next age, it'd be nice if the community could acknowledge that things can change (and should) but don't always have to and accept those changes if and when they occur...
Also repeating some of these mechanics changes will create the saltiest tears in ages, probably from sheister if he's playing.
The devs are working on other aspects of the game so kept changes to a minimum, they havent made that a secret. Last age was one of the most balanced in terms of race spread that there's been.
The changes were large enough that my kd has a fairly significant difference from last age.
I agree Swagger. I also look forward to warring you this age :)
This game has for many many years operated on a rotating scale of Mechanics Changes - Race/Perso Changes - Mechanics Changes - Race/Perso Changes
Last age they heavily changed races/persos ... this age they had more mechanical changes.
I'd be willing to be next age you'll see more of a race/perso heavy change.
It's the cycle of Utopia
The only thing that stays consistent is the whining and complaining that comes with both parts of the cycle.Quote:

And to answer OP question , no , but I would from age 10 :)
You know only few race and personality changes is Jeff and Davids way of telling everyone that you suck at province management. Do it again, get good NOOBS!
Where are you playing these days?Quote:
