    Joining wrong civilization (reproduced once)

    It happened to me too, I tried to join the Japanese and ended up with the Aztecs.

    Should the English Empire be renamed the British Empire

    The sun never set on the British Empire. There never was an "English Empire", unless you count the territories they conquered in the British isles (Wales & Ireland) or their largely inherited territory in France.

    Should the English Empire be renamed the British Empire

    I call shenanigans. The English NEVER conquered Scotland and the two countries were united under the Scottish crown.

    Should the English Empire be renamed the British Empire

    I voted yes, although with Elizabeth I as the leader English is OK. I just hate seeing Churchill and Victoria as "English" leaders. Plus it would give the rest of the British Isles representation in the game which is currently lacking in Civ IV.

    How many have played this series since Civ 1?

    I played that a lot back in the day too. I was a board war gamer from way back, Civilization was great fun but it's lack of a combat/conquest system was vexing to me :)

    How many have played this series since Civ 1?

    I played Civ I on my buddy's 386, played Civnet on my own 486, then Civ II was on my various computers for about 10 years. I bought Civ III and all it's expansions at the same time, either shortly before or shortly after Civ IV came out. I played that until my wife bought me Civ IV for my...

    Leaders we don't want.

    The Malcolm Canmore thing was all me. I screwed up the quotes when I deleted part of it that was irrelevant and accidentally destroyed the formatting. I don't really know how to fix it. Niall Noígíallach certainly works as a Gael leader, as does Columba. Maybe we should create a Gael...

    Leaders we don't want.

    Actually, Robert the Bruce was of partial Gaelic ancestry, he simply happened to have Anglo-Norman paternal ancestors; common practice was for Anglo-Norman lords to marry daughters of the Gaelic aristocracy to cement relations with the indigenous power-structure. By that time, the Lowland...

    Leaders we don't want.

    Actually Robert the Bruce was a Normano-Scottish Lowlander, not a Gael. Great Leader for a Scottish nation, just not a specifically Celtic one. William Wallace was also. If you want Gaelic Scottish leaders you have to either go into the highlands and islands or before the Norman conquest of England.

    "One unit per one tile" strategy thoughts

    Panzer General spawned 8 sequels and is the best selling turn based WW2 strategy game of all time. That's more sequels than Civilization unless you count non-stand alone expansion packs. Generally you don't keep making sequels to a game that didn't sell well.

    What Civilization will you play first? Map type?

    The Celts if they make it, if not then the Mongols or the Romans. I love making world conquering empires with both. Most likely a continents map or earth if it's an easily chosen option. In early versions of Civ the random maps were awful.
