Do you think they should add more Civilzations in C3C?

[Tomoyo]

I think China is the only one that has a better economy then America.

That depends on what you mean by "better"... The UK, France, and Germany (and probably some others) have bigger economies per capita, and in terms of sheer strength, the US still has the biggest, though China is now consuming more essential resources.

 

[S!n!st3r]

Oh, I'm not sure what I mean by better either, my geography teacher just told us about it.

 

[GeneralZed]

Maybe the teachers over there need some more loans to tell their students the truth

 

[Dachs]

take out.... Byzantines... and add..... something else

The Byzantines kept the Arabs and Turks from adding most of Europe to Islam. The Eastern Roman Empire (foundation of the Byzantines) lasted more than a thousand years, developed military theory significantly, first utilized Greek fire effectively, were the master mariners of their time (the Byzantines had a fleet that gave the Vikings a good battle several times), and had one of the greatest military minds ever in Belisarius, who took over Italy for Justinian I. The Byzantines have made their mark and earned their place in Civ.

lol She is filling our heads with lies!!!

 

[tentakl]

they should put some balkanic nations. we have intressting and rich history, good for some conquest...also some peleponess war conquest is good idea.I mostly like non modern conqusts so i think that they should put more ancient conquests.

Yeah, this is an out of date book im using, its from 2001, but in the back it shows all the countries and their stats, including per capita. China's is $3,291(in US dollars), and the UK's is $20,883(in US dollars).

I think they should make more specal traits like extra movement for cavalry or +1 attack for infantry and stuff like that.


Also I think each civ should have 1 unique unit per tech age

 

[Harbringer]

Only civs i think they should add are:
Poland-if it wasnt for this backwater country Britian and France would have never created the Allied powers during world war 2

Soviet Russia-things were pretty different when russia was in its soviet state.

Canada-Minor role in world war 2, home to the tallest man made structure in the world(CN tower) and they work in conjunction with amerika to keep the N.O.R.A.D early warning system going.

Australia-Home to the most primitive tribe on the planet(no not the australians but the aberidianiel tribe discovered in the 1930s thats lived the same way for thousands of years) played a minor role in world war 2, conflict desert storm.

Austrio-hungaria-The country that started world war 1, major power at the beggining of the 20th century.

Italy-yes, i know rome is italy but a seperate nation called italy would be nice.

As I brought up in a previous thread: Why can't Civ IV have a custom Civ selectable from the basic start menu? Mix and Match civ traits, generic UU's (or assigned based on trait selection), and generic leaderheads and voila! any Civ you can think of. Put in easter egg UU's like Mounties for any civ named Canada for a little fun and flavor and you've got a perfect solution. It shouldn't be difficult and would clear up this argument.

That would be an extremely good idea for them to include in Civ 4.

19 playable civilizations will be featured in Civilization IV ---> http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=108315#es
I think it's fair enough, as long as they include the Vikings!

 

[Elponitnatsnoc]

Personally, i think they should add Belgium...

 

[SamE]

Here's my idea, unlike any other :
Tons, tons of civs... Every civ mentioned here... 100+ would be nice...
But at the beginning of the game there are a fixed number - adjustable in the start screen and limited by the map size.
During the game, whenever you switch governments, you have a different name/UU/traits/etc., specialized for each civ (for a total of maybe 1000 UU's and trait combos, using maybe three traits for that civ's most powerful era, with some overlap, of course )
Also, civs that experience too much disorder in multiple cities have a probability (increasing with each turn of disorder) of a rebellion occuring in which a new civ of the same culture group 'spawns' from them in the disorderly cities (location makes an impact on this). This was one aspect of CTP that I miss.
So in the end you have even more civs and UU's, etc. for a really complex game.

Pick up a history book. Poland is far more than a "backwater country", it was a great power and played an important role in the history of Europe. That it could be included in civ3 is something I agree on.

Soviet Russia-things were pretty different when russia was in its soviet state.

Just play with Russia and turn it into USSR yourself. Otherwise I see no point in including it as a civ on its own.

Austrio-hungaria-The country that started world war 1, major power at the beggining of the 20th century.

Austria is included already.

I agree, as usual I must say, with DocTsiolkovski; there should have been more African civs and there are some more worthy than the Zulus.
As far as I am concerned, America also should most definitely be included, it is the world's current superpower and certainly has a culture of its own.

And more than once! Because of its strategic geografic position it played an important role throughout Europe's history. Even recent history. The only reason why Poland is not as influential as it could be is because Poles always have to complain and argue with each other instead of focusing on a common goal.

BTW, I'm Polish and I like the idea of a Polish civ. There's actually a mod at http://www.civ.org.pl/civ3/poleng.php for those who want to try it out.

 

[Rambuchan]

I'd like to see them add a third trait to the existing combo and more abilities for UUs (not different UUs through different ages) before they go adding more civs. These features have far more mileage than simply adding more of the same. I've only played with perhaps one third or half of all the civs at most and I play too much as it is.

I believe they will continue to fuel the arguments over which civs should / shouldn't be in when they release expansion packs on the back of Civ 4.

 

[Eetu Pellonpää]

There could be more folk in the Africa, Central-Asia and Oceania!

I sometimes use that Polish mod. It is quite good, excellent choice of leader, excellent leaderhead and UU, good citylist.
I am not Polish myself, but my wife is(from Szczecin). And I am quite familiar with your country's history and culture, right now I am trying to learn the language.
Your observation about Poles I find to be true to a certain extent, on the other hand it is a very good thing to show courage and stand up against injustice and oppression and I think Poles can serve as an example for most of us in this.

 

[Chazbagel]

That's an excellent list..
America must be removed because its not a historical civilization, it's just a country. And so Ottomans are. They must be renamed as Turks.
And I wonder why Jews are not included?

The game does not stop in Ancient age, if im correct i believe it goes on to modern age...
