Civilization Choices

[greekguy]

i thought it was only my team that was nuts, but you all (except FREE) went for Ottomans!!

i would've been happier with China or the Babs, but seeing SABER has now managed to piss almost everyone off before the game, i feel this game is in the bag for us. this would be since TNT waited for the game to actually start before we made everyone furious, causing you all to go gunnin' for us.

TNT was scientific and industrious just like...

LoL good point.

Personally, I really wanted to be the Netherlands. Stupid team out-voting me.

3 agri civs... land is gonna fill up fast...

I predict that Rik gives us an 80% water arch map

I hope you're not confusing Korea with China... I know some people who would take offence

Great system. It seems to have worked

I though i saw China on The local councils list too...

Still i would have thought China was a bit of an outsidered yet it polled strongly. Some very interesting choices by all teams, this should be a great game.

 

[fe3333au]

Yes and having 5 teams will make it very interesting

The be honest it would not have been to bad having China go to us, since it was our second choice, but we got our first choice and thus it meant two teams got their first choice, one team got their second choice , one team got their third choice and one team got their fourth choice. I thought that would never happen like that, especially considering that every team got their first choice last time around. That means that there are three Ancient age UUs and two Middle age UUs.

So here are the traits as the teams have got for their civs.
Scientific - three
Agricultural - three
Commercial - two
Industrious - one
Religious - one

So that means the Expansionist, Militaristic and Seafaring are missing.

I love it that we ended up with a civ that rated only two votes from our team. I predict great things.

Not quite true. K.I.S.S.' first choice was actually the Iroquois, along with Team Doughnut's. RNG gave Doughnut the Iroquois and K.I.S.S. the Celts.

Imagine mounted warriors versus hoplites and immortals versus... Swiss mercenaries! That first war would have been muuuuuch different without mounted warriors, in my opinion.

 

[classical_hero]

I stand corrected. This game should be interesting.

Particularly as it only made it to 4th as it was one persons favourite

To me the only thing more surprising than 4 teams selecting the Ottomans is no one selecting Persia

 

[Elear]

In the last game Persia was chosen by the first team to go down (though I don't believe that's why they lost). I think all the teams are thus shying away this game from them

If the Ottomans have a cavalry type UU then I suspect that is why they were favored. Cavalry and railroads pretty much sealed the game for MIA last time out.

Are you just lurking or do you wanna join (quoting admin) poor little team Gong .

Actually, I've been invited to join Team SABER and was looking to find out what a Demogame was all about before accepting.
