This is which civs will be in Civilization III

[Heffalump]

My feeling is that the # of civs included and who they will be is still speculative on our part. It's good that we air our views and make it VERY CLEAR we want all the existing civs and ideally more, but a bit early to go bashing them for leaving out this or that civ when the game is still 5+ months from release. Firaxis hasn't made any definitive announcement that I've seen. We're operating on a couple of magazine articles, which may (like some of those graphics) be long out of date.

I think that the english tribe should be called the British tribe and the celts should be dropped. im disgusted that the mongols wont be in civ 3, Genghis and his boys did a lot back in the day, however, and i dont mean to sound disrespectful but.....the dutch are not exactly a major part of history and i dont really think they deserve a slot in civ 3

When would you prefer we complain? after the game is out? Though it's true, they haven't made an official announcement about the no. of civs, at least one magazine article has mentioned these limits. Though, Firaxis's eery silence on this topic, despite an overwhelming number of posts, makes me think (hope) they might be reconsidering

Celts should be dropped?
Pass that here and quit being a Bogart.

Thunderfall, your analysis leaves out the Aztecs. I have to respectfully disagree. From this screen shot you can see 2 Aztec cities on the map. here
I think the Russians have the weakest supporting evidence that they will be in.

I've read in an article that Firaxis actually didn't say there will be 16 civs overall.Moreover MarkG(from apolyton) thinks there will be the israelis and the present civs in civ2.Although there will be 7 civs in a game

(it's in the interview with Jeff Briggs)
P.S:the native americans rnt sioux but iroquois in civ3 and Bactra is persian.

 

[Matt99]

Yooooraaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!

The Aztecs ARE in!

PS. Boarder Patrol I couldn't find the screen shots once on gamespy.com. Please help me - I really want to see them!

Muy Bien!

 

[TrailblazingScot]

Hmm

Russians WILL be in or I will curse SID MIER and personnally end his life...my feelings are that strong.

I am however delighted to see my ***** (Elizabeth I) alive and well...and I'll be paying out tribute to her very soon. In CIVI I loved trying to get her to leave britain!

WE DESIRE more than 7 game civs...that was my biggest problem with civ2 -THAT AND THE JOKE SCIENCE RATE as you invent things too quickly.

WE gotto have...the British -the americans are merely rebellious colonials...the aussies our criminals, the canadians our loyal commonwealth allies and the South Africans the loyal commonwealth racialists.
WE gotto have FRANCE so as to have a truely worthy european enemy.

We gotto have rome, the aztecs, chinese, indians, zuluz, persians, russians, germans, greeks, babylonians, egyptians AND spanish...we gotto have the japanese too..

More civilisations please in essence!

This is insane. Once again Europe is cluttered with civs and the other countries have one or two for them. Hello, but some of us like to play on world maps, and in historical positions. So if I play the Chinese I wont have the Mongols pressuring me? For the love of god!! AND NO CELTS??? WTH??? (btw technically the celts should begin in europe not ireland ). How about some more African and New World civs? huh? they had them there too!!! And lets not get rediculous like they did with CTP and have tiny island nations as civs (ahem - the jamaicans???) Really Sid should know better than to pull this crap.

 

[King William the third]

Damn!

So few civilizations?
Why? God, Why?
And why aren't the Dutch in it this time?
Another one for Earth's greatest mysteries....

 

[hannibol43]

I've said it before and I'll say it again how do you get away without putting more non-European civs than the one's everyone thinks. There were many more civilizations in Africa than just the Egytians after all they came from the first known civilization in Nubia/Aithiopia. And how can you have russians but not have the civ responsible for their empire, the vikings. Same goes for Rome but not having Carthaginians???? Of course I think while there is some validity much of who everyone thinks will be in now is speculation there are about 5 slots that are up for grabs.

The Russians MUST be in that game!!!
They have one of the biggest histories in the world!!!
1)Russians fought against the mongols
2)Russians explored and colonized siberia
3)Russians fought in the Grate Northern War
4)Russians fought against Napolion
5)Russians fought in the first world war
6)Russia was the first comunist country in the world
7)Russia fourht in World war 2
8)Cold war between Russia and USA
I shell KILL Sid if the Russians are out!!

We know MIG fighter is a special air unit in Civ3. I am pretty sure they are Russians' special unit. AMericans' special air unit is the F15s. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>

About the Aztecs, if Civ3 has the Aztecs, then I don't think it will have Native Americans.

There will be the aztecs...i saw the special aztec unit on apolyton(a warrior) and there will be the native americans(Iroquois):as i said there will certainly be more than 16 civs(at least i hope so)

I'm not so sure that the English should be one of the Civs - they were only a primitive out post of the Roman Empire and a word of warning kOc it was an Aussie criminal that wrote "1001 Things to do with a dead cat!"<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0><IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/spinsmile.gif" border=0>http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/lol.gif[/IMG

The point is that you cannot take civs away that you have already given us. No Russians imagine that? No Carthiginians WTH? And if there reasons for doing so are what I think they are then it is even worse. I hope to god they they aren't pandering to the "I will only buy a game if it has pretty graphics" brigade. Pah

 

[Håkon]

No Vikings...imagine that!

Why are they taking the Aztecs/Native Americans, but not the Vikings! Insane. Insane. Insane. Insane.

I quote Håkan Eriksson: There has to be some kind of mistake. Can't believe it!!!

BorderPatrol, okay, perhaps that Dead Indian thread wasn't spam, perhaps CornMaster or PaleHorse76 or who moderated was in a bad mood, but why are you closing everything because of just one post!

One CivFanatic lost, twelve hundred and ninety-six to go.

In general, I think we all agree that fewer civilizations is not the way to go. In the very least, I think all current Civ II cultures should be represented in the sequel. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd wait a few months more for Firaxis to include all 21 current Civ II cultures.

I also think civ-specific specialized units (Impi, legion, MiG) are a bad idea, and they could greatly tilt the balance of play in certain eras. If you want to specialize a unit, perhaps Civ III should include the customization feature that was in Alpha Centauri.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
