Favorite Civ?????

[Train]

I love Russia and England. Their history is great to study IMO.
This makes them my favorite.

I'm actually rather looking forward to France this time around. I wasn't particularly of any of their leaders in CIV (De Gualle was pretty good though) or their UU/UB. But this time it seems like they've got a pretty decent set of abilities/units, plus I always feel a little bad for France in that most of the modern West tends to forget that they pretty much smacked the rest of the world around to greater or lesser degrees for quite some time.

 

[Thormodr]

Mongolia has always been my favourite civ. Since they are not in right now I guess I will have to say Siam.

Excited about ciV? Yes, Siam!

I'll let you know, at the very earliest, sometime after mid september.

I cannot claim to play one Civ a whole lot more than others. I sually gravitate towards Persia or Germany as a rule, though I cannot claim that Germany's Special Ability befits my typical playstyle...

This time around France actually greatly interests me. With expanded culture they should be able to get a solid start, and with two unique gunpowder units that form the basis of most armies past the Middle Ages, they should be in a strong position to dominate later on in the game. Something that certainly interests me.

I don't know, I didn't ave any best civs ic civ 4, I liked financial most, but, I played with every other leader too. Don0t know why, but I'm not a big Rome fan. I like Greece,Russia and in civ 5 Germans and French look better than in civ 4(I hted De Gaulle )

 

[On3ManC1v]

In this pre-game time, I'm favoring Egypt, but I will probably switch to one of these others after a few games:

America
Greece
Siam
Iroquois
Germany
India
Rome

Well i can tell your gonna be busy when civ 5 comes out

 

[ruskyandrei]

England and Russia

 

[Infiltrator]

Russia/Japan from what I can tell. But I'm not sure yet.

 

[DeepQantas]

I really like Songhai, but I think I'd rather play with them so I can negotiate with Askia outside that burning city.

Maybe Iroquois. Their special ability seems interesting for ambush tactics... and I like the color scheme. And on the other hand Hiawatha seems like a boring leader so if I play them I won't have to talk to him.

 

[Thyrwyn]

My first Culture win in Civ IV was with France. . .I might try to do that again with Civ V; Or maybe Greece and go for a Diplomatic win through the Hellenic League; Or, play Japan and really "kick the tires" on the new combat system. . .

 

[Szpilman]

I'd first try out Greece for "kicking the tires" on City States
Then Iroquois for flavor, using forests as roads is gonna make for a fun early game.

My favorite civ in Civilization 3 is the Celts, for both the historical significance and the gameplay. Also Egypt. Both are already in Civ 5 if I'm not mistaken?

The Celts aren't.

 

[Franks]

France and Aztecs. Their UU and UA seems very interesting.

 

[Avatan]

What I can say for sure is that I'll start with france to investigate the SP system, and then Arabia because it seems the closest to financial that suits my game style the most. Plus I think that Camel Archer will be a nightmare to counter, hassling the back lines and getting away with it!

But the Aztec kill-for-culture thing sure is tickling!

 

[ilikepies]

Excited about ciV? Yes, Siam!

I see what you did ther.

Germany, France, maybe Greece are my favorites.

 

[Sneaky Snake]

I've always liked Russia, for some reason...

 

[nekom]

From a history standpoint? Probably Rome, Ottomans or British.

In cIV? Probably the Dutch, Inca or Mongolians.

In ciV? Can't wait to find out.

 

[Stalingrad]

Russia. With stalin though, not catehrine >.>

i defintily agree with this and yes the need an exp with Stalin and other warmonger leaders, and bring back the Zulus, cmon i LOVE shaka and his huge military iditotic self!!
