Quick Vote Fave Civ

[tonycz]

Lets see which is the most popular civ.

Once voted, feel free to post your reasons for this too.

Should make some interesting reading

I've just started using Mongols, I find taking the barb villages as a city for me at the start to be extremely useful for generating an early multi-city civ.

I haven't played yet but I picked the Zulu because they look the most appealing to me

 

[exclamatio]

aztecs are by far the strongest rush and i also like the chinese for a swift scientific start

 

[Yoko]

Egypt as thats who I played most with in the demo
I did not rate them until i realised just how valuable the +1 food and trade on desert tiles was
Quite like the mongols although would rather recieve settlers instead of cities from defeatd barbarian camps (camps always seem to be on a resource tile)

 

[bonafide11]

So far, the votes are ridiculously close

 

[KAZUY4]

I'll play Russian / Spanish and German

 

[tonycz]

Strangely a fairly even spread. Seems everyone has their own favourite. I would have expected a couple of stand-out leaders in this vote.

I've only played through as the Mongols so far, but I chose them for there ability to convert barbarian villages to your own city and it's a great trait for early expansion, though they often arn't ideally placed. SO I guess I'll vote Mongols.

 

[tonycz]

That's who I voted for, for the same reason. Though I have to say, having played a few games as the Mongols now, the conversion of Barbarian villages to cities of my own isn't actually as good a perk as I thought it would be. Once I've taken 4 or 5 barbs so have 5 or 6 cities, I start to get really confused about which one I should be doing what with. That takes some serious planning, and in MP I simply don't get the time for that.

Nobody like the french?

 

[tonycz]

Yeah, wonder why that is? Strange as well there have been so many views of this thread, but only 25 votes, suppose they're all guest viewers.

 

[bonafide11]

Well I've viewed this thread myself like 10 times because I keep checking to see if someone else votes the Zulu. Nobody yet.

 

[tonycz]

I find it strange how the Americans are running this vote. Is that national pride/patriotism? They're not that great, though the great person bonus at the start can be very helpful, depending on who you get.

 

[bonafide11]

I don't know, the Americans look pretty powerful to me, starting with a great person and a ridiculous production bonus at the end.

 

[Ace of Gold]

Go france,
france seems like a good civ

 

[Im_An_Eejit]

i did spain
the only civ ive done deity ( not scenarios ) on
also half spanish
like the colour
galleons allow u to get artifacts way before anyone else

 

[tonycz]

Still very interesting to see such a wide spread of voting, there is actually no clear favourite civ at all. They've all had votes, and some the voting in very close with 4 civs tied for top spot with 7 votes. They do all have different perks, some more helpful than others I suppose, just very interesting I think

That didn't stop me, and I presume a lot of other people, from voting though.

Finally we have a leader in the Romans
