Rank our civs

[Robi D]

Its interesting to see with all the voting their is a distinct top 2 in both catagories and that Otto is in that top 2 for both.

 

[Tubby Rower]

The UN VOTE went towards Rik, completely decided by Rik. I also requested an idea of if general shape of the map.

I'll be sending the non-archi list to GA & RM Monday unless I hear otherwise.

Here is what the individual teams valued

For the traits I just gave the civ's score from the teams' rankings to each of the 2 traits

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Odd thing China was ranked so high but wasn't given. Korea surprises me a little, since they have a circumstantially crappy UU (who wants a slow artillery war in multiplayer ??) but the massive SCI is to be expected. The council only had France as non-SCI.

All in all, good pick boys. Now what would be wicked is to find sumeria or celts and suicide something on them for a GA trigger

Lets be wicked.... if we get the chance

I was thinking about the korea pick. Essentially they are Greece with the Sci/Comm traits, however Korea's UU isn't going to get them into trouble with an early GA. Where Greece with the hoplite could be force into a very early GA, with the Koreans they can guarantee themselfs a late MA one.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I thought the same thing (Korea same as Greece), but never put it together with the late GA.

Man I hate it when an opponent is smarter than me. I guess we'll just have to rely on our looks and personality...

 

[BCLG100]

well we have many different looks, for instance i am quite adept at the warthog impersonation-sometimes with sound also.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I am quite adept at sounding like a growing plant.

 

[ThERat]

I like the agri food bonus a lot, so Iro is a good choice. I guess Ottomans are popular due to their UU (+scientific)

 

[gmaharriet]

I guess we'll just have to take them out before they get to Sipahis.

 

[BCLG100]

i think we're not the only one thinking that

 

[gmaharriet]

Sounds like team SABER has painted a target on their backs.

 

[Tubby Rower]

whew, this is one instance that I'm glad we didn't get our first choice

 

[Robi D]

Have to agree. Can't imagine pissing off 3 civs before the game has even started is a good thing

From our point of view the only possible negative is our early UU, we don't want anyone dragging us into an early war and early GA. The one good point is that i've been here before with the Nutters so i have some ideas on how to use them effectively.

Which reminds me, I do have one request. If we do get into a war with the council and donsigs playing the turns for them then i want to play ours

That's a face-off I'd love to see.
