Civ Selection (Final Poll) (take 2)

[Ashburnham]

Yes, it's true that the Byzantine Empire is the longest lasting. The Roman Empire lasted much shorter than people think (27 BC to roughly 475 AD). The Chinese could be the longest running empire, but you'd have to pick which empire to measure. True, China has been a continueous entity through most of history, but it hasn't always been the same "empire". England is probably the closest choice to best the Byzantines. But, even if England has been a continuous nation since 1066 (which is debateble), that's still not as long as Byzantium. The Byzantine Empire lasted from 312 to 1453. So, yes, they hold the title for longest running empire.

Too bad Mongols aren't on the list, since like 1/200th of the Earth's population is descended from Ghengis Khan .

I chose random, couldn't decide between Ottoman or English. Ottoman UU is nice, and we haven't been a middle eastern civ. English UU is even better, enslaving and all, but it doesn't last for that long and only good if we're at war. Privateer is better for disrupting people (I usually only build one a game and have it multiply to about 20 by the time it's obsolete).

Persia is Middle Eastern.

When does this poll close?

 

[Provolution]

Runoff usually last 48 hours, so I guess tomorrow somewhere.

 

[Black_Hole]

the actual poll is set to infinity

 

[Provolution]

I know that, polling standards etc.

 

[Chieftess]

It can be closed manually.

 

[Provolution]

There should have been a timer here.

 

[thescaryworker]

England all the WAY!

 

[RoboPig]

I know that the poll is set to infinity but when is the decision made.

 

[Provolution]

Chieftess failed to add a timer and to add a deadline, I request a closure time for the poll immediately.

 

[Chieftess]

48 hours. I'll close it at 9:00pm EST tonight.

EDIT: You know, now I can't wait until our Man O'Wars start "recruiting" enemy privateers and ships to make more MoWs.

 

[RoboPig]

You might as well close it now. It's impossible at this point for anyone to beat England.

 

[Chieftess]

I just want to keep it official.

 

[RoboPig]

Why was other put in there?

 

[Chieftess]

Just because some might've wanted another choice..

 

[Provolution]

Just to keep the anal poll-chasers out of sight, lip service...

 

[RegentMan]

No... there are over 70 registered citizens and only 40 or so votes. Close it when it should be closed.

 

[Chieftess]

This poll is closed!

We will play England!
