It has been said that too much freedom is a bad thing. I think that's true here.

Okay, it's late at night here, so everyone try not yell at me too much if this is insane, but... What if we gradually moved through time? Basic medieval -> more industry -> circa the world wars -> modern -> futuristic (although we might skip some of those). I'm too tired to consider all the implications of this, but it would give an excuse to periodically change the way we want to run things, or to add more complexity or whatever. More importantly, it sounds fun. -Aris
