My first few games I always played as Americans (I live in US), but now I have taken to closing my eyes, holding down the down arrow key for a second or two, and playing as whatever civ randomly comes up.

I play as the celts
and I dont think america should be a begining tribe because we came from another civ.
the true americans are the native americans.
that is why I dont like playing the americans

i play romans or persians. persians because in large world map, they have the most awesome starting place. central, and in walking distance to some awesome city starting places. them, or egyptions, or babs, or ind., or chinese. they have good starting place.

native americans my foot...

i think the United States of America should be a civ, because it is undeniably the beest modern civilization on this world. no, i am sorry to say, it is not sweden. no offence or anything. how high is your income tax there? do your parents even work. can you even own guns? i hate socialist tpes of governments. sweden especially is extreme left on the political spectrum.

btw, is anyone here mormon? they would disagree about vanilla's views on native americans. whts up with their casinos anyway?

Sweden have less unemployment than US so don't ask us if my parents even work, they do work. By have high income tax we have much better school and hospitals than US.

Is owing guns a good thing? I don't think so. How many times haven't we heard about kids in US that have been shoot then they go to school?

Sweden is not extreme left on the political spectrum. And in your country you can't even decide witch president you will have.

Sweden! The number one contry in the world!
 
The US is the strongest Civ currently in the world, and looking at it from a Civ II standpoint, it would be the dominante civ in a game, but the fact remains that the US started as colonies established by the European civilizations; it is not an indigenous civilization (maybe spontaneous revolts should be a part of Civ III?). The "Europeans," or the "English," (depending on what civs are in your game) sailed across the ocean and established a city or two on a new continent and subdued the technologically-challenged indigenous civilization(s).

One could, however, play as the "Americans," and simply change the leader's name from Abe Lincoln to some great Native American chief, and rewrite history!

The Great French Empire.

------------------
I love building, large, prosperous and happy empires. Great cities with lots and lots of peaceful and content people. And me as their undoubted ruler. I don't like wars but I'm leathal if you should get in to one with me. Beware!
 
Leowind is right about the Americans being a civ...it should be and you can rewrite history by changing name (Good idea!). I think that it is arrogant to think that the US is the most powerful country in the world when we would most likely not stand a chance in a conventional war against China. In a nuclear war, we would win, but then again, win what?

Also, the United States the most superior consumer but not necessarily the best trader in actual production.

The United States is a great invester in new companies and is one of the greatest economic powers for that reason.

As far as playing a specific civ, the first time I ever played civ, I was disappointed to find out that when it said "Indians" it meant Asian, because I am Native American. I have played the Souix but they are not my tribal background, so if I want to play a game with Native Americans...I will just have to write one. There are some good modpacks out there...Sacrificial Blood is one, but that is MesoAmerican...

I am currently writing an upgrade that doesn't have any of the "regular" listed civs but all the others that I think have rich histories that would be fun to play....including Sweden!

yes, china would win in a conventional war. the usa is still the only superpower in the world today. why dont you just customize the souix to your tribes name and pick a chief? its pretty much the same thing. you would also have to change city names too.

I believe would could beat China at war.
We have air superiority, bring back Napalm Bombs and draw chinese armies into an open field and have our A-10's come in and drop some Napalm on them

I think our allies would back us also.
And we could also just Bomb the chinese cities out of existence

Hey we shouldn't start a world war 3 here! OK?

Sweden! The number one contry in the world!
 
Don't know why, but I am almost always the Romans, tho I have been Greeks a couple of times. Re: convential war, China vs USA. depends where it takes place. Shanghai..US loses big time, Straits of Tawain...US blows them away. US could win anywhere given time to mobilise & popular willpower
 
You're right Stellar...but you know how I am...once I change one thing..then I say...hey, I could make a cool unit, then an icon....then change the "game.txt" file...then the "rules.txt",...finally, I've upgraded the pedia, lables, menu, tutorial, and intro.dll...

Then, it's a modpack...as usual.

I can't help it...it's a psychosis I think.
Someone help me, I keep writing modpacks and can't stop!
