Civilizations that should have been in civ III

[Kublai-Khan]

In my opinion
Spain
Phoenicians
Incas, so much better organized than aztecs
Arabs
Old Israel
Mongols and central asia

what do you think?

 

[Peteus]

Portugal, Spain, Mongols.

What do you consider an "Arab"? Interesting question.
Ancient Israel...not exactly a dominant world power, but could make for some interesting campaigns!

 

[Monte Pyton]

why are so many people whining about civ's there "should have been"!!?? just use the editor and make it!

 

[spiky82]

i would say koreans, spanish, scandinavia (vikings), switzerland,
netherlands, mongols, huns, change egypt to Arabs, change English to British, etc.

From Arabia
Cities like
Medina
la meca
Aden
Mascate
And cities that were founded or became important
under the muslim conquer.
Obviouly a city like Alexandria that was important before the conquere wouldn´t appear as an arab city
in that hypothetical civilization.

hey chill out monty!

as far as i'm concerned i'm just brainstorming so that i can make these guys, and plus i'm letting everyone see this list so people who got the skill would may be keep this in mind and make them later...so less artistically skilled persons like me can download them...

 

[Psiwar]

Portuguese
Spanish
Mongols
Incas
Arabs
Vikings
(some minor ones but not as influencial as this...)

Pyton: Of course we will fire up the editor and create this civs but it's not the same thing because default civs have all lots of kewl animations for leaders and units that is hard to make. Not to speak of the ton of art to reproduce (the reason why the civ staff included less civs). The overall feeling of a civ is hard to produce...or else we would be working at Firaxis.

BTW, does anyone know if we can create more civs (above the available sixteen) or we have to replace any of the existing civs (like in Civ 2)?

Switzerland...thats a first...
Huns?...hmm...very interesting...not much of a Civ...they were nomads...
Egypt to Arabs!...ha..thats the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard...that would be insulting to both egyptians and Arabs alike...They arent Arab, they arent from Arabia...why call them that?...Egypt had a very Long and illustrious empire that lasted longer than any other Civ, besides China...
English to British...thats just a name....Its like say Change America to United States...

but then again...its everyone editable preference...so...

 

[jedi rat]

I think there are missing 2 very important civs.

Slovaks (I would choose Poland) -huge percentage of Central and East-South Europe
Australia – Aborigines

Yes I will edit those nations for sure!!!

hey, u don't hafta insult me if u don't like my choice then keep that opinion to urself please...
-switzerland is amazing in the sense that amongst all the major powers that coveted its mountain roads, it survived almost undefeated for a quite an impressive span of time.
-huns? just nomads!?!?!? yeah!!!!!! just nomads who were amazing horsemen that happened to run over like half the europe!!!!!!!!! get ur history straightened up!! they were also thought as the ones which caused massive migration of germanic people to roman empire...those ppl fell rome later...
-yes i know that egypt has a long illustrious history as an empire, but they were considered a leader of the arab world and i saw how many ppl wanted arabs to be in...so as easy solution just change the name...
-and NO, english to british is just not a name change!!! english just means england part of british isle....british mean northern island + the wales(? spelling?) + scotland + england...it's different from america meaning usa...as a person living in canada, i have no objection to someone saying that usa=america cuz it's just a convention....but no one calls Tony Blair an English PM...he's a British PM!!!!!

Bulletsponge, like i said, get ur OWN **** fact straight first b4 insulting other people on their face...better yet, don't post anything if ur gonna insult other people without a good motive!

 

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

My opinion? This is undoubtably the most over-discussed issue ever to grace the frames of CFC, and probably everywhere else on the Civ 3 web.

Not to rain on anyone's little parade I'm just terribly jaded.

 

[Avahz Darkwood]

I think the game needs

Canada

Everyone knows how powerful their air force is... Both jets at thats.

Beware of their cultureal attacks as well, Americans are starting to do that annoying "aye" after every sentance... Sooner or latter New York will jump ship...

 

[DaEezT]

Jamaica !!!!

Would have given the game a damn cool unique unit

YEA!!!! The Stoner

no attack, no defence, instead of prod support they take double in the amount in food (munchies are a killer).

BUT!!!

1. All empires except yours thinks they are settlers, so they try and captur them, BUT....
2. If captured, capturing units/army loose one point of attack and defence and must be support with 1 food untill disbanded or killed =) (they be smokin the good stuff now)

 

[Mozenwrath]

Picts
Turks
Incas
Spanish (One of the greatest empires of all time)
Vikings
And I figure if you're going to have the Americans you may as well have the Australians and Canadians.

LOL...My facts are just fine...quite having a hissy fit...I didnt insult you...i said its ones preference...I was just pointing out a few things out...and I call Tony Blair the English Prime Minister..so blah blah...

 

[Dell19]

This topic has been covered many times before...

I would definately have picked the Mongols and the Spanish although I can see why they didn't include the Mongols...Only lastiung for a small period of time and no real empire left unless you count Mongolia...

 

[ChrTh]

I'm going to set up a game with the following Civs:

The Vandals
The Ostrogoths
The Visigoths
The Huns
The Mongols
The Gauls
The Vikings

And the "barbarians" will be played by the Romans!
