The problem with the modern era is that it&#x27;s kind of boring from a strategy game perspective. Eras that are boring from a strategy game perspective are the best eras to live in, so I&#x27;m not complaining, but a strategy game where the biggest challenge is to manage the Eurozone crisis or react to changing oil prices is not going to be nearly as popular as a strategy game where the biggest challenge is to win a World War.
