Hi all! been getting bored with the same old Mongolia strategy over and over again? Maybe you've got some advice to give to battle wearied fellow fanatics.
Why not add a shout out to some of the civs you've found most interesting to play? (NB: NOT a list of what you think the strongest ones are)
To add my two pennies, in no particular order, here's a few of the civs which have given me really interesting games:
Sweden - What? A CiV game where diplo actually matters? Made me stop and think about whether or not to DoW someone, and that's tough to do
Byzantium - Got to be up there for civ that plays the most different each time, working around the religion choices that are best for the situation
Persia - Massive golden ages require a bit of set up, and deciding how to use them gives a lot of different options. Could go for any of the victory conditions
Spain - Strategy works with whatever wonders are lying around, and it can make for some interestingly shaped empires! Bit of a dice roll though
America - The most intangible but also useful of the domination abilities. Plus, just when you're getting bored of the game, B17's come along so you can finish and start again!
So that's what I think. Do you agree? Think mine are useless and got a whole heap of better ones? Add a post and join the discussion!
P.S I'm new to the forum, so please be nice
