I voted expansionist.
You left out Scientific, and the last option is a bit harsh

Not if you play as them heh heh.

I hate playing against religious, because it makes it so easy for them to culture assimilate. This has been an ongoing problem for me at emperor level, though I am winning the games I am retaking cities several times before the whole civ is dead. Most irritating, though I suppose it would not be as much fun if it were easy.

Industrial ones are the greatest threat, but the Expansionistics are probably the most immediately annoying. Those pesky little Scouts all over the Ancient Times.

I just can't satnd Shaka anymore, sometimes my sole purpose in civ3 is to eliminate the zulus.
Go build your own cities Shaka, leave mine alone

Expansionist, and then those over-achieving industrious civs. I guess this makes me one of those "Anti-American" jerks.

I hate the Expansionist, followed closely by any militaristic, they always try to bully and declare war.

I would have voted for Scientific -- annoying to have someone else get a bonus tech and kill my monopoly if I am ahead / prevent me from catching up if behind.

But then, I am one who loves the tech race aspect, and has only slowly been mastering the art of slowing down the tech race to buy time for wars/wonders.

I hate Scientific civs. I like to control the world's tech pace, but those guys usually screw it up with their free techs.

Also, Expansionist civs are annoying too. Their scouts like to swoop out of nowhere and grab Goody Huts right in front of me.

Scientific, I always hate Babylon. In my game now I wanted random opponents but Babs is still there. But there only average size. They always seem to be there, prob cos i wanted to try the Persians for the immortal.

How many are sufficient for a Diety SOD 15-20? Against a average size immediate neighbour with unconnected iron and the only iron the first town I come to.

Expansionist............I started a game as the Ottomans and I was placed on an island with quite possibly to the worst civs to be stuck on an island with------ Zulu and Spain. Spain had half the island before I could blink an eye.

I hate expansionist. Those little scouts are so annoying when they come through your territory. So what I like to do is wait for it to go onto a little peninsula(If there is one, in my territory), and let it explore to the top. Then what I do is place either a city or some warriors or spearman there and trap it.(Doesn't happen very often though, but it is so fun :lol: )

I have a zero- tolerance policy on the enemy scouts, so i chew on them before they steal my huts. If any enemies have a problem with that, I feast on them from head to toenails.

Aaahh... I just love pain...

Expansionist, they get way ahead in tech early on, and once our borders meet they get a bug up there butt's to come attack em and expand into my territory.

The advantage of AI expansionist civs though is that at least they don't cause barbs to spawn all over the place. I hate it when I start out light on military, heavy on growth, and then must change it all over because some stupid AI warrior popped barbs.

What I don't like about expansionist civs is they want to expand into my territory.

Scientific. I hate it when I'm behind in tech... :rolleyes:

Unfortunately I couldn't choose that one, so I've chosen militaristic.

I voted for Commercial. Meaning that I dispise how the AI trades. They always give you nothing in return. Sometimes you get an even trade, but most of the time I'm paying extra for things during trading. Either that or I go to war with them due to their insolence.

Militaristic, I hate the zulus and germans. Shaka and Bismarck are annoying. I take great pleasure in killing them.
