The only problem I see with the Immortals in the fencing competition is that they in actually were spearmen. You also forget about the Samurai, who actually were sword-wielding infantry. They might win the sabre fencing competition hands and heads down.

@Timerover- Can't Expect everyone to have the same knowledge as You do

Hoplites win the Defend yourself competition, Tiring the hell out of other people

 

[DWetzel]

I nominate the Mongols as winners of the steeplechase competition.

 

[Spoonwood]

The Spanish would take first in bike racing due to the Conquistador... oh wait... they did (in the men's road race)!

Portugal wins the worst award competition...

I mean look at there traits... they fight against each other.

 

[anaxagoras]

The U.S. takes the gold in the "Useless UU" competition. Portugal gets the silver.

I also hate the egyptions UU...

Never used it once.

 

[anaxagoras]

True. OK, I'm convinced. Silver to Egypt, bronze to Portugal in a photo-finish (or an oil-painting, for you Spike Jones people out there).

 

[TheOverseer714]

Honorable mention has to go to the Hittites UU. The 3 man chariot is a pathetic excuse of a unit, really just a very expensive, more mobile spearman that screams like a sissy when it dies.

Long jump:any civ with units stranded on AI's continent and asked to leave

Nice one!

The Iroquis would win at archery, they have mounted warriors with bows and arrows.

 

[Keroro]

The Spanish would win all horse competitions due to ATAR.

EDIT - Damn, should have read the second page before posting, sorry Doug.Lefelhocz.

 

[TheOverseer714]

The Romans get the gold...or else!

 

[Tommy Sieve]

Persians would win ancient ass kicking,
Romans would win ancient ass defending,
And Iroquois would win at ancient ass.

I'm' not quite sure what you mean with this. it seems to me that the extra point for all naval units assists the expansionist trait. Expansionist and Seafaring both get you out into the world and learning what is out there faster than any other Civ on the map.

Are you thinking that Seafaring needs an Island map and Exp works better on pangaea?

 

[Civman33]

... And Portugal wins swimming. Due to the Carrack.

 

[D.N. Pacem]

... And Portugal wins swimming. Due to the Carrack.

I give the swimming edge to the Berserk.

 

[Rodent]

D.N, you might want to check up the Civilopedia on the Berserk. They were'nt actually 'swimmers', But they were Madmen

 

[darski]

I think D.N. had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek at the time.
