rate: which civ is the BEST???

[Sybot]

I do random civ whenever I play. It allows you to practise a whole range of civs, each with a different strategy to try.

Its also a challenge if you draw one of the weaker civs.

Greece is hard to beat if you want to win by space, or the UN.

celts must be considered as a strong civ.agri and religious are good traits and their UU is dangerous enough(extra movement point for swordsman).makes the game easier early on.you can shock your neigbours and destroy one or two with these gallic swordsman and then focus on culture with large territory.

persians - their scientific skills is the best!! spent the whole game researching every tech only cost me 4 turns each!! and still made HUGE amounts of gold!!

I like Enkidu Warrior if you want to be left alone by AIs on high level during Anciant Age.

On pangaea the Inca are good for popping goody huts for a fast start

 

[Savage Discipil]

Americas the best!

 

[sabo]

I like them all but for some reason when I want to play a Deity game I have the best luck with America

I like to play with a different civ every time, variation is fun. All civ's are good, but it is smart to choose a civ that fit's the map type. Seafaring on archipelago map is obviously a good idea. Byzantines, Vikings or England are the most fun seafaring civ's IMO because of the UU.

But as already stated in this thread by others, there is no Best Civ.

My personal favorites are Greece, Sumeria, China, Japan, Germany, Byzantines, Russia, and Rome.
