I am speaking in terms of good players of equal skill levels. If both players know how to utilize their civs properly and are of equal skill, the person with one of these civs will dominate the other equally skilled person. Having no trouble with a bad player who plays one of these civs is not evidence of them being balanced. This game is not balanced, the developers don't care very much if it is balanced. This is not Starcraft. Most competitive games require many rules to ensure a fair and balanced match. If the game were balanced competitive games would not require any rules such as no great wall, no terracotta, no _+100 gold faith, +4 faith from NW etc.. Spain is the most universally banned civ in competitive play.
Looking for a few friends to join us with CIV5 MP!

Oh man I habe been looking for a good group of civ friends for a while. My friends are fun to play with but they are never around. Any you guys fit my style perfectly!
FOURM******IMPORTANT******* If you are going to play with us, we have one major requirement, YOU MUST HAVE ALL THE DLC! Aside from scrambled continents, and scrabbled nations, you must have the rest!
How old are you? 24
What country do you live in?
United states
What time zone are you in?

How often are you online, and able to play? I work weekdays from 9am to 6 pm weekends I am free and I am always on at night. (Most of the time)

Nope
How long have you played CIV, and are you pretty good? (We welcome noobs, my Jay and i are experienced players, but my friend Wayne is new, although hes good)
---ive played for a while, I play king and working on up. Id say I am a good player.
What is your favorite way to play civ? War, culture, diplomatic, science, how do you play?
---all of the ways, it depends on my mood really. I love trying new civs and strategies (though rushing is not my thing, I feel its kind of a dick move)
What is your favorite civ?
Russia, poland, america... honestly any, im at the pick random and work with what I have stage.
Also, please, add any additional information about yourself here, more info would help us in our chosings, and let us know a little more about you. Again, we would like to know this stuff, because we play on having 5-6 player games, and we cant have a game where someone is un-reliable, and quit half way through, or so we can actually make sure we know when we resume the game the next day, everyone is ready to play, and were not stuck waiting for that person to get back, that's never fun.
--- weekends are my biggest time to play, if I plan in advance I can set aside a good chunk of time to play (I also stay up super late). I can play on weekdays for shorter periods.
Honestly I am just tired of not finishing games with my friends.
If you're curious, these are the setting our games usually run on, but we are willing to change it up.
Continents
Quick
Hybird (We prefer hybird with friends, because while the wars take longer, nobody likes a click fest!)
And the rest are normal default settings
Civs are all random, and we normally play random civs, but sometimes we pick ours. The choice if yours if you want to random, or pick.
We play on prince or king. Normally King

I answer for a friend of mine and me.
Both of us are 26 yo.
We live in Germany.
timezone: CET
We are online way too often...
Steam name: Lythis44
Skype: Lythis
Both of us have working mics.
We have played civ for the past 2 months and I would say we are not too shabby players.
My favorite way is to play cultural centric, his ist more war, science centric.
My favorite civ is shoshones, his are the netherlands.
I would also like to add that we use OpenVPN to play together, that way we never experience any issues.
Greetings

How long have you played CIV, and are you pretty good? 851 hours in Maybe 6 months. Yea, I have no life. To answer your other question, no, not very good at the game. I mean I have never been wiped out, but I'm always losing cites and having to recapture them. And my sims almost always hate me, ungrateful little turds.

I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't play civ anymore. I played one game with him and a friend and then never saw them again. I see them on other steam games but not civ.
Me and my group of friends are looking for good players to play with though. We are trying to get private FFA's going that are not full of public quitters and trolls.
