Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they made a version that just stays in one age indefinitely and lets you explore it in an open world sort of way?
Like take Minecraft. I played that for years without even knowing there is an end game, and it came as something of a shock when someone told me. You can finish Minecraft?!?
But then I was like meh, leave me alone. I'm trying to build Noah's Ark with a functioning village on top and a crystal waterfall down to the animal sanctuary below. And I still haven't completed the Mars colony. Wonder how the pandas are doing over there?
In the gameplay showcase, they said "every age can be played on its own, or woven together into a full campaign". So I expect you will be able to set up a game with one age and no turn limit. If not, that will be the very first mod.
