What 5 Civilizations Should Always Be In Civ?

[LBaeldeth]

I selected my five choices based, conceivably, upon their "influence" in history - i.e. culturally.

1. Rome
2. Greece
3. China
4. England
5. France (though having second thoughts, perhaps Egypt)

 

[Bongo-Bongo]

Rome, Egypt, Greece, China and England are the absolute musts IMO and are the 5 I voted for.

India, Babylon, Japan, France, Russia, America, Carthage and the Maya also must be in the game as well.

 

[SkippyT]

Ok.

So, well, the Norman were French, and they are at the origin of England, so France should take all credit for England's accomplishment, so France outshine England as the latter is part of the former.

Thanks for defeating your own argument

The Norman were English, eh? They were Scandinavian. Norman means Nordmadr (Man from the North).
Some English or French king gave the Vikings Normandy (named after Nordmenn) because the Viking would have conquered France and England if something wouldn't have been done - so my point is that their origin is from Scandinavia, so Scandinavia outshine England and France lol That was just a joke.
But England still outshines France big time

I don't think Greece is a clear candidate, exactly.

The Kingdom of Fife (Golf, Adam Smith, Andrew Carnegie, Nazareth)
who cares about another 4?

 

[juni_be_good]

Rome, Aztecs, China, Babylon, Ottoman

5 civilizations that have mostly passed the test of time. I saw after voting that I forgot Egypt, it should be in my vote, maybe in place of Ottomans.

Once again: What's so special about babylonians?

 

[angelickitty]

ill admit to being sentimental...

theres just something wrong about missing rome..
egypt is almost always my best ally... even though it generally means im constantly saving her...
babylon... well they were my favorite race to play in all the others...
mongols.. i dunno.. they just always show up so its wrong to not be there..
america... well.. i am american lol!!

 

[Cookie Crumbs]

America and England, regardless of historical significance just to please the majority of the target audience.
Historically, I can't really say apart from Rome and China.

 

[Kiefer]

Easy for me:
1. England
2. America
3. Greece
4. Egypt
5. Celtia Now, some of you will be going "wtf? Celtia? Are you drunk?" but hear me out.

Celtia has been around for AGES. It is responsible for some very major holidays AND traditions, not to mention one of the most renowned landmarks in the history of time. They have created the idea of a calender, which the Romans and other civilizations extened and built upon.

Egypt (Egypt-Nubia),
China (-Hell yeah!),
India, (Mother of all culture)

-Otherwise, Pick the mom, not the kid;

Greece > Rome (Yes, u heard me!)
Persia > Greece (mostly kidding, but only mostly, not fully.)
The (Brittish) Empire > USA (-C'mon!)
Sumer > Babylon (Sorry, but it had to be said)
...and so on.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Once again: What's so special about babylonians?

For example, ever heard about Tower of Babel? Or King Hammurabi and his code/law?

OK, they aren't special, they were just the first high culture and scientific civilization in the world.

 

[Swedishguy]

I thought it was the sumerians...

Though the whole Norman thing was just a mockery to show the previous poster how illogical his reasoning was, I beg to differ about England outshining France in the whole History thing - though this one is quite open to debate.

 

[Swedishguy]

Open for debate? I'll sign! GB and France are equals! O-oh...

 

[blaisepascal]

I can only narrow it down to six, not five:
1) Rome
2) Greece
3) Egypt
4) Persia
5) India
6) China

[Swedishguy]

[Tulx]

1. England
2. America
3. Greece
4. Egypt

Hey, then we can add Estonia too. Estonia had been also for ages or something. At least about 2000 years ago here were first sings of humans. Im quite sure you are drunk+Im quite sure that Incans were never heard about Celtia when they made their calender
