Feel free to post your thoughts!

Note: I got this information from *MY* polls, and all of the data is reliable*.
*The polls were fair, and had enough data to give a definite conclusion.

All of the data is reliable how, exactly?

I made the polls myself. Just click my name and look at them

Kind of surprised to see Rome as best Civ for so many people!

Yes, it was the ultimate winner!

Whilst Rome is one of my favs, it never normally came top 3 in previous polls.

France, Babylon or Chinese were often top iirc

Actually, i just checked the Civ Elimination thread which was conducted in in the Spring

the top 3 were

3. France
2. Songhai
1. Saim

Okay...

Oh yes... wait! The poll question was: What is your favorite Civilization, not what is the best Civilization. I shall do some editing.

I wouldn't worry about it, its all very arbitrary...

everyone can say what their "favourite" is, but its unrealistic to declare which is "best" as there are too many variables (map type, map size, Sp, MP, difficulty, game style, VC..etc..)

Thats good it is "favorite" then... :L
