Poll: Which Civ will you play first game as?

[Carver]

France (Louis) or Mali.

 

[BlueStar]

Mali For Sure. Good work getting them in. Miss the zulu.s tho

 

[DiamanteLouco]

Random. I always play random. The pressure of having to chose a civilization is just... too much... I don´t trust myself in this kind of decision.

 

[kitsquad]

The Mongolians. Because of that episode of South Park.

mongorians break my chity walls!

 

[fr0d0b0ls0n]

Spanish... i hope i like their skills/units more than in Civ III...

 

[Smeg]

Whichever is the default when you start the tutorial.

Will there be a tutorial? I'm a big civ fan and like most others will be able to pick it up fairly quickly. However if there is a tutorial that would be most useful, hopefully it'll not go to slow and get to the new features asap.

 

[ist..since1453]

i voted for persians.i will begin with middle eastern then rome maybe.who knows

 

[kasmasnou]

Surely Greeks or Germans

 

[Crayton]

Something with an early UU. I don't think I will make it too far before my brain gets overloaded with information (or bliss).

I picked Mali because I had a blast with the Zulu on easier difficulties in Civ3.

EDIT: My brother will play as Greece, his favorite civ.

 

[MarcAntiny]

Industrious and Religious... My fav...

 

[Melendwyr]

Indians, as Asoka. My peaceful and enlightened society will leave all other humans crawling in the dust when I blast off to Alpha Centauri!

If Russia has any of the USSR's leaders (Lenin, Stalin, etc) I will play as them, but if not I don't know.

 

[Belboz]

If Russia has any of the USSR's leaders (Lenin, Stalin, etc) I will play as them, but if not I don't know.

Nope. As it stands now you get your choice of Peter the Great or Catherine the Great.

 

[Aleph]

No doubt in my mind...the Russians! Always been fascinated with Russian Culture ever since I read Dostoevsky (why isn't he an optional ruler!)

 

[killerkid]

I'm going with Mali. They're new, what's they're UU?

 

[bky1701]

Nope. As it stands now you get your choice of Peter the Great or Catherine the Great.

That’s bad. I really had my hopes up for Lenin being in it. I really don’t like Mao… at all. My guess is that adding new leaders will not be hard at all (maybe even in the game without an external editor? That would be very, very nice), but still, it’s very disappointing.

 

[Carver]

France (Louis) or Mali.

Well now I'm not sure. The Navy SEALs look they're gonna be bad-arse - I may have to go American.

 

[Japanrocks12]

India. Besides Asoka's assigned traits, I feel that he is truly a warmonger at heart.

 

[Aramazd]

First, I'm gonna play as America because it's my country that I live and was born in.

 

[Alistic]

Plus I've been watching that new Rome series on HBO and it's got me on a Roman kick.

Best show on TV since the family guy.
