I found that the Russians are quite shady. I was playing for the first time on warlord and I had them to my south. One turn one of her spearman came my lands all by his lonesome, and sat right on top of my only iron source. I didn't think anything of it. Maybe he is sightseeing I thought. Next thing I know, iron is pillaged and I'm stuck with a few swords man with an onslaught of the enemy barreling down my way. The rest is history, or at least I was.

I just wonder why the Zulu are in the game... what have they done that was so important to be included among the most important civs in the world?
They suck =)

They are renowned for their ruthlessness and brutality, which reflects in the games when ever I play them. Why are the Iroquois in their? I reckon the turks should be

I, personally, am pissed off by the Zulu, the Babs, and Egypt. They backstab, make stupid demands, and get annoyed WAY too easily
I've never had a real problem with the Zulu... The ones that really get me are Egypt and the Babs. I remember that I learned to hate the Egyptians after my first couple of games, when they tried to beat me to a pulp (and succeeded!). And in the games I've played recently, the Babs have been a pain.
The only civs I really have to laugh at sometimes are the French and the Americans. More often than not, they get destroyed in the early game. India tends to hold on longer, but they're usually pretty weak, too.

I only ever play as the Germans. The Russians are the pricks that decide to give me grief. One time I and they survived to modern times, living side by side, no wars. Then out of the blue the Russians nuke me. They got pretty much destroyed but I ended up losing to the damn Yanks!

I don't find this thread pathetic.
I hate the Egyptians, Russians, Spanish, and Zulus. Egyptians always think they are high and mighty, Russians attacks me from behind ALWAYS, Spanish acts powerful until I declare war then they come back begging for mercy, and Zulus I just plain hate for being the only Civ in the game that has barely an impact anywhere in important history.

Zulu: Barely an impact? "Zulu" seems to be the Civ3 group name for all southern African tribes, such as Khoi Khoi, Bushmen etc. You have heard of someone living in southern Africa, right?
P.S this thread is utterly pathetic because everyone has whined about different civs, almost.
Go to the editor. Look at the agression settings, and unit builds. Maybe this can explain why some civs do attack more than others.
Zulu: max agression, Build Often Offensive Units.
France and India have minimal agression. I don't have PTW yet, so don't know if there are any more.

France should actually have high agression as the French people practically wanted to kill themselves during the French Revolution.
And I know my facts on the Zulu. Only to the world their impact wasn't great. To Africa it was.

Danny: When you lose a game, the computer says so to you. Easier to win there.
Godzilla: How much of an impact did e.g. the Aztecs have on the world? Sure, you hear a bit more about them, but did they do anything for European or African culture? Not that I heard of. The aztecs are interesting because they left behind treasure and they held thousands of human sacrifices. Then you can discuss whether it is redundant to include Egypt, Greece, Babylon and Rome all together. Or why the Americans are in the game, cause they sure as heck never existed in any of the B.C times.
P.S I lived in South Africa for 5 years. Don't try to tell me about the tribes there. If you hate them for not having an impact on your personal sphere of existence, that is
A: Racism
B: White men's fault, because we never studied their culture enough.
I have several books of Xhosa and other Fireside Tales. These are equal to european fairy stories. Having a very large amount of history and myth, although oral, fairly well defines a culture. Rather than let this thread become a discussion of what "(a) culture" is, (after I almost made it a personal argument) I am leaving this thread. Whining about your losses is fairly pathetic. I got wiped out on turn 12 once by the AI's umpteen starting units on Deity. Conquest loss. I stayed there and resolved to win in a later game, most of this thread is those who refuse to go to a lower level and cannot win on the current level, and whine instead.
Goodbye.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, chill out. It is NOT racist to say you dislike the Zulus in Civ3 because they are aggressive, or because htey never had a major impact on the rest of the world, which, lets face it, is true, and is NOT the fault of "white men" or any other racial group. Im not trying to incite any fights or anything, but other than being very devoted and skilled warriors, the Zulus really didn't have a lot going for them compared to the rest of the world. You sound like quite the politically correct leftist type, the bad white men not studying the African culture etc. etc. but im not gonna get into that.
Anyway, i find that Germany, Zulus, and Persia often make stupid threats in my games. The Rusiians don't bother with threats, they just attack
