which 3 civs would you like to see?
personally:

1.Mexico (industrious and some other trait) UU somthing with good attack, in the industrial age, like pancho villa
2.canada (commercial, and some other trait) UU mounty (cavalry with extra defense)
3. maybe australia with steve erwin as UU, or somthing, maybe another native american tribe, like the chinook.

1) The Klingons
2) The Romulans
3) The Andorians

;) :crazyeye: :lol:

Sorry, couldn't resist. Actually, I'm not particularly partial. I'm more interested in the civ traits and the game balance.

How about using the Civ that arsen jetiwitcz(massive bad spelling on his name) led??? I dunno who but he was an awesome guy. Caesar spared his life cuz he respected his talent on the battlefield. The only person he ever spared of high stature that I heard about. Someone help me out on this as well as his correct name? There was a movie on him too. Darnit what is his correct name and what country did he represent??? Also...they should make the Assyrians!!!!!!!

I couldn't resist doing that last one! :lol:

Anydangway, about the Canadian UU keithar suggested, the mounty, I have some ideas. Instead of 4 defense it should have 7 attack. Listen to me eh, cause I'm proudly canadian. :o

Don't care so long as we have minor and major civs, and so long as the list is editable within the game!

I'd like to see:

-Canada
-Sioux (I know we have Iroquois but that would be like having every European civ under 'Europe')
-Metal-Heads: a barbarian civ, leaders Bill S Preston Esquire and Ted Theodore Logan. Go around with loud music, collecting history, UU: telephone booth (0.0.Infinite)

Why do we need "Civs" like Afrikans, Aborigines, Confederates, Soviet Union, Illyria, etc. We need great empires, or Civ's that mad e lasting contributions. That's why I think the Portugese should go. I would say the Dutch should go, but they're such a great Civ to play. Add the Hebrews, a Southeast Asian civ, and the Songhai.

Greek stud, I think you are repeating some of the old civs. Soviet Union is just basically a government change that happened in Russia.

Anyhow, hears mine:

3. Maori

How can we have the Aborigine and Maori? UU's? Traits? Come on...

How about LESS civs, but each far FAR more unique? not just UUs but buildings, more work on traits, religion and internal turmoil ...

Wow, trippy!

AA-battery
Nov 16, 2004, 07:26 PM
Yeah, I hear you out Albow. For Canada the traits would be "The best Civ" and "Better than your Civ". I heard earlier that someone posted that Canada's UU the mountie should be unaffected by forests. Damn strait. But they should not be affected by any bad terrain at all. Not mountains or hills or jungles. In history their travel to the west included all of these obstacles. Yes, even jungles. There are many jungles here in the west coast, but we call them rainforests. And it wouldn't make any sense to leave jungles out.

Whole new units for each civ? It'ld be murder. I wouldn't mind the same units having slightly different graphics for each culture (eg; skin colour, slightly different dress) but each civ with everything different would be absolutely horrible as you wouldn't be able to tell clearly what each unit does and what their stats would be, and so forth.

PS: I agree that civs like Mexico, the Soviet Union and Cuba are absolutely overkill.

C'mon people! Canada and Cuba are not civilizations. Especially Cuba. No offense. It was thrown into CTP (or whatever game it was in) because a developer was from there. I don't really hate the idea of Canada, but i'd rather see Brazil or Argentina before Cuba.

I agree with you on the Cuba thing, but by that argument you could exclude america. I think Austrailia and Canada have developed enough away from their origins to be considered their own civilisation. The aborigines are a good idea though.

the 3 most obvious:

Rome

China

Egypt

You can't call the game Civilization without these three, that's for sure, amigos! ;)

That would be marvellous. In fact, it would be an easy swap - Geordies instead of English. You could also conquer the Mancs, Scousers and the rest of those soft southerners! :p

Geordies are from Newcastle, England and tend to wear t-shirts and shorts while it's snowing. Indecipherable dialect. Thoroughly deserving their own civ! :p They would be awesome warmongers. Toon Army! :wallbash:

I think Canada's UU should be an upgraded warior armed (2.1.1) with a hockey stick - extra movement on tundra. Call it a Bertuzzi.

Not sure about Maori, but Aboriginis would have the Boomerang thrower (archer).

I'm not sure if the aboriginis actually considered themselves as a civilization. They were more like villages. Not united and yet still friendly with others, not so much to some. But I guess that in the game they could become a civ. I like the idea of boomerang throwers, but what would the traits of the Aboriginis be? I can't seem to figure any out.
