I get the feeling that this is something that comes out of the game you're making isn't it?
Ok sorry no question, opinions. I'd like the indefinite case. Whereby you can keep going and stop when you like. The trouble with games like civ' etc is that eventually you reach the defined limit in other ways. The tech tree runs out. The resources are depleted (maybe if politicians played games they'd understand the environment better...). Or whatever.
The one game that had me hooked for years I think was Frontier (Elite 2) as there was always more planets to visit than you ever could. Though again it had limitation in terms of tech, ships, mission type etc etc.
Yes, indefinite games are the ones I'd go for if I could write them :)
