What are the best 3 bonuses for a civ?

[PersianImmortal]

I find Religious and Scientific to be the best traits.. surely the Babs are wonderful to play with.

Next in line would be Industrious.

Rest is all useless pretty much. I can build barracks without a problem so dont need to save.. besides if I get San Tzu I get them free.

I vote the traits in this order -
1 - Industrious
2 - Religious
3 - Commercial
4 - Scientific
5 - Militaristic
6 - Expansionistic

Anyone of those attributes can be used to great effectiveness, but I pretty much wrote them in order of how easy they were to reap the benefits from. (IMHO, of course.)

Wonderful thanks for all your feedback.

Definately Commercial and Industrious are up there on the list. (France is GREAT! ) For a third, I'd have to go with scientific. Cheap libraries (with commercial, it's a power-packed combo), culture, AND you get a free tech at each new era.

Couldn't agree more.

Sometimes I can't live with not having Harbors costing 40 shields, though... (Militaristic).

i think that industrious and scientific are best personaly.

im not totaly sure what the benifits of a religious trait are, but hey!

Religious is an awesome trait. You get temples and cathedrals cheaper. (Fast way to get happiness in newly conquered cities and also a fast way to get those culture borders going.) Plus, anarchy from government changes only lasts 1 turn. That allows you to use the Communism/Democracy change strategy alot easier.

1. Industrious
2. Religious
3. Scientific, Commercial or Militaristic, depending on your play style.

The top three IMHO are religious, scientific and industrious. Relgious is actually good for war-mongerers because you can switch governments quickly and also build cathedrals fast in conquered cities to keep them from flipping. Scientific is just a good all-around trait unless you plan on buying your techs because you're in a high difficulty level. Industrious is overrated but it's still good, definitely much better than the next three. I think expansionist is the worst by far, it's good in the beginning but completely useless after everyone's traded maps. Militaristic isn't anything special either. A lot of people said commercial is good and that surprises me... the corruption benefits seem pretty low and the extra commerce doesn't make up for it, especially later in the game.

I like Industious the most (only way slaves are useful), scientific the next, and Religious after that.
Hoewever, Persia, Babylon, and Egypt are not my favorite Civs...
