Here's who we're missing votes from...

Daghdha/gmaharriet/Furiey/Bede/Smart/Own/IroquoisPlisken/Oldbus
Maybe these people could say if they abstain if they aren't going to vote.

Bradley--I don't know what to expect in a 5 team MTDG. In the Civ3 MTDG, where many of us are also playing, we had a good early partner and no war and the other continent started an early despotic war.

This game might be quite a bit different with 5 teams but one thing seems to be sure. Mapping out our tech plan seems critical.

I'm sure Sirian will throw in some serious twists so we should be prepared to have lots of discussion once we know all the details and can see our start.

 

[Furiey]

I must admit, not having played that many Civ 4 games I was still reading everyone's musings and trying to make my mind up! Work has been crazy this week and I didn't notice the closing date on the poll

 

[Tubby Rower]

I'm sending the PM to GA & RM so that we can have our civ choice in. Elizabeth got a vote from almost everyone. so I think that if we get her most if not all will be happy. And Qin is my new buddy. so Hopefully we won't go beyond that.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Oh, sorry, forgot to reply to this. I haven't played with enough of the leaders yet (only about 5) to find out who I like. I do like the Spiritual, Financial, and Creative traits.

And I agree with Kickbooti that the Conquistadors rock.

 

[Furiey]

We got Liz!

Team Aloha: Catherine (Russia)
Team Innovia: Saladin (Arabia)
Team Piffle: Elizabeth (England)
Team Loco: Ghandi (India)
Team Epsilon: Quin Shi Huang (China)

 

[Tubby Rower]

I wonder if we got Elizabeth via random selection or if no one picked her as their first choice.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

All civs got their first choice. Random selection means two people had it as their first choice. If two people had it as their first choice, only one team could get it. If only one team could get their first choice, then someone would've had their second choice. But everyone had their first choice.

See what I'm trying to say?

 

[Tubby Rower]

So basically these civs are the civs that people wanted to get. Ok let's see if we can get their strategy out of their civ choice

Team Aloha: Catherine (Russia) Creative and financial
Starting techs - Hunting & Mining

Team Innovia: Saladin (Arabia) Spiritual and Philosophical
Starting techs - Mysticism & the wheel

Team Piffle: Elizabeth (England) financial and Philosophical
Starting techs - fishing & Mining

Team Loco: Ghandi (India) Spiritual and Industrious
Starting techs - mining and mysticism

Team Epsilon: Quin Shi Huang (China) industrious and financial
Starting techs - agriculture and mining
