So far there is a large majority that thinks technological progression should stand back in favor of other improvements.
I share the doubts many others have, that creating a game that evolves like Civilization is a much to large task.
I also think a modern society would be both less interesting and much harder to form societies in.
Regarding the society forms I don't see them as misplaced as for example the cars. Abstract theories are much less dependant on time than technical progression...

I think the way the poll is written is unfair.
Even if a slow progression into a more modern era will be programmed, thois will be a very slow process with enough time left to add new features andconcepts. Progression won't stand in the way to do so.
I'd say, make a n3w poll because this way it's subjective.
I don't think evolving will be too a large task, but I'm a nobody. Let the Programmers decide whether eveolving into a modern age will be a too large task to combine with other features.

I think it will be extremly hard to balance a technically progressing society. Just the fact that there is allready cars in the game, wich shouldn't come for several eras is a good example on how hard it is to have the development in ways that the players find acceptable.
There is probably an endless amount of non tech stuff that could be implemented and make Cantr better, and obviously many things would have to stand back if they must also program for a modern progression.
