I doubt anyone here could REALLY prefer any past age over the present day. We're all a bit too used to our internet, cellphones, and other 21st century luxuries, not to mention EB! That said, there are certainly many historical epochs I'd like to VISIT. Imperial Rome is an obvious first choice since I spend most of my time studying their history and archaeology, but 3rd century BCE Alexandria would also be interesting.

Enjoy your smallpox.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

What I think would be really cool is the sort of simulation where you are placed "inside" of someone living at the certain time and location. However you can just see from the viewpoint of the person you are "in", but can't make any decisions, just follow your "host". This way you could see, feel and hear the thoughts and emotions of the frontline roman soldier charging the battleline of celts, the daily life of athenian citizen, the lousy life of a cretan mercenary or daily struggles of a farmer somewhere in Baktria. This is just a few examples from EB period. The only limit then would be your time and imagination as possibilities are endless.
With what I know now, head back to La Tene Europe, warn the Gauls of the Celts, and have a c. 390 Rome sack repeat itself in 50 B.C. The Gauls, Dacians, Thracians, Iberian, and other languages and cultures might still be preserved today for our enjoyment...
Then again the 1980 rocked. Great thrash, speed, and general heavy metal (not hair metal really) to be found and band in their prime.

I cannot answer your question for I am not of this world. I am from the planet Gametron (seen plenty of you there as well) and for us there has only ever been 1 age - the age of gaming. It's a wonderful world.
However I have heard of this 'woman' you speak of and it reminds me of a story.
Once upon a time there was a man, and the man asked a woman to marry him. The woman said "NO" and the man lived happily ever after. THE END
Well, actually, who are you? I mean, they probably "can't explain", but if Methusaleh won't get fooled again, the kids should be alright.The who tells us YOU wouldn't ruin everything? :DDDDD
This space intentionally left blank.
seriously the best comment I've ever read in here! for you:
(and I'm 20 years of age and I've seen the Who live, so restore your faith in the modern youth)
Plutoboyz, as for the 14th century. Can you spell P-L-A-G-U-E ?
As for me, if I could be a Macedonian general, the period c. 325-260 BC would just be fantastic: I mean, everybody-versus-everybody. For example I love the fates of fx Pyrrhus or Demetrios Poliocertes (no idea bout the spelling), who lost and won kingdoms SEVERAL times. Actually the Cambridge Ancient History itself remarks; "everything was possible in the fantastic world of Hellenistic politics". I know it must have been a cruel time, but I just love a big mess. The Period of Migrations in Europe, with the Goths and Huns and Vandals would be another one of those periods. Where everything's confusion and there are no set rules and adventure everywhere.
But obviously those periods would only be cool if you were a commander + a very talented commander (being a lousy commander is prolly more fun in peace time). So if I can't choose what to be, I'd rather try the 1960's and 70's. Sounds like they were fun :)

Moreover, I advise that Syracusans must be added to EB (insp. by Cato the Elder)
Is looking forward to the 2090's, when EB 20.0 will be released - spanning the entire Eurasian continent and having no Eleutheroi - with a faction for every independent state instead. Look out for the Gedrosians, the Cretans and the kingdom of Kallatis!
I'd be happy with most periods/regions pre-1600, as long as I was nobility of some sort. Regardless of which awesome civilization you live in, shit sucks if you're a slave washing clothes with pee.
