What are the best 3 bonuses for a civ?

[jpinard]

I cannot decide what to use for my civ. "Expansionist" is out since my custom map is not using goody huts or barbarians. Could a few of you give me your opinions?

Thank you so much!

Religous
Scientific
Commercial

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT TO USE, YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN CIVILIZATIONS WITH YOUR OWN PORTRAITS? COOL!! HOW, WHERE!?!!

Comercial lowers cost for marketplace and banks, and helps your corruption a lot.

Yes, you can easily create civs in the editor. As for portraits, there are several downloadable ones on the Internet, and you could create your own, but I don't know how to do that, and it's probably pretty hard.

Commercial does have decreased coruption but banks and marketplaces are not cheaper. Instead it is increased commerce in City Centers.

No, marketplace is down to 80 and bank is down to 120

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CREATE PORTRAITS, TELL ME PLZ!

I have never heard of commercial getting cheaper banks and such, do you have any proof to back this up?

best 3 bonuses are:

good player
good player
good player

agreed lol, whenever i play commercial civ, marketplace costs the same as libraries (unless you play Greeks or Koreans).

 

[Bamspeedy]

I just double-checked playing as India (religious, commercial), and marketplaces still cost 100 shields.

But anyways....If you are playing with no goody huts, I would go with:

1. Industrious.
2. Religious
3. Militaristic (if warmongering), scientific (space race), or commercial.

WHEere do I download portraits?

 

[gugalpm]

You didn't understand...
Stop using only capital characters when talking. This means you're screaming.
Go to the creation and customization part of the forum and ask the guys there. They should know.

It is highly dependant on your game

Militaristic: Not very useful except if your going for sheer carnage
Commercial: Slight corruption loss, little more gold, mostly useless
Scientifc: Useful for culture and tech mongers
Religious: Very useful for all stratagies especially at high difficulty levels and for culture mongers
Industrius: Good for people who like to build build build.
Expansionist: Good for Huge maps and early victory gambits.

Yes, but a change that requires custom art or text files (or any additional file for that matter) that your opponents don't have menas that they will need to download it first. Mods that use 'standard' stuff (i.e. stuff that comes on the disk) or are just rules/map changes work without a problem.
