Most Hated Civ?

[Ansar]

Which is the Civ you hate playing the most against?

For me, it would have to be the Sumerians. They expand so fast and go building temples everywhere, so they quickly grab land!

Other notable mentions for me include the Zulus and the Germans.

The human player... I prefer AI.

(I'm a single player guy )

Egypt in Vanilla and PTW. Incans or Mayans in conquests.

Interesting question; many civs have their dark sides. Greece and Carthage have those showstopping early defenders. Rome and Germany are very triggerhappy and make dangerous neighbours at the start of the game. Rome and Japan have those annoying "balanced" UUs which offer little advantage in human hands, but let the AI off the hook of its own tactical incompetence. China, Arabia, Spain and Scandinavia all have dangerously mobile UUs, which though rarely used effectively are still a threat. The Mayans have a lot going for them (traits, slave-taking, an ATT/DEF balanced UU) and if the Mayans get a continent to themselves, they can make pretty tough opponents.
But my final vote goes to Rome. If Julius starts nearby, there is a danger of an early archer attack, and if he starts far away there is a danger that he will procure iron before there is time to go over and beat him up. And having a bunch of unkillable swords plodding inexorably across your empire is never fun.

Who do you want to beat on as soon as you know they are on the map? I would add the Inca and Celts to this list, those tribes always end up growing like weeds in AI hands. I usually end up being the Roundup.

Salamanca (sp?) once backstabbed me in the modern ages when he was my only friend and we had an MP IIRC. Never had much trouble w/ Rome though.

I hate Japan. The Samuri are almost impossible to kill unless you have Crusaders and they will rip apart your knights. Greece annoys me as well, they are impossible to conquer early, and they always seem to be near me.

Other's are the Zulu and Germany, but MPPs with Germany in the Industrial age can be fun.

 

[Headbanger]

The zulu always declare war on me.

I assume you mean the Iroquois?

 

[H20CivCooler]

Celts. Brennus is a shifty figure.

No, the other Salamanca.



j/k

You do know that there is another Salamanca, right?

(The Spanish have a city called Salamanca.)

If they added alchohol to the luxury list then he would be pretty tame.

Well, there are wines...

HAHAHAHA... at first i thought this thread was on the civ we hate playing as the most.. then i read this

For me, it would have to be the Sumerians. They expand so fast and go building temples everywhere, so they quickly grab land!

i got a bit confused


anyway... i dislike playing against the Aztecs.... always grow fast, and annoyingly don't like to hold trades or alliances with me

 

[codyhotel]

The Russians

Easy to kill, but they're just so damn annoying, and take a long time to wipe out since they expand so much.

Also the Zulu always seem to hate me.

Nope, didn't know that. Still, it would have been a little odd to say a city backstabbed me, no?

Hehe

Off-Topic: You live in Colombia? What city?

 

[EvilConqueror]

Indians. In all of the games I've played against them, they've managed to get a head of me tech wise. In addition, they love to sign mutual protection pacts and randomly declare war at the worst possible time.
