What are your favorite civilizations? (Final)

[RandyN]

Based on the two previous polls, I took the top 21 (approximately half of currently available civs) and created this poll.

You can select multiple items. Thanks for voting.

 

[Melchizedek]

Inca, Korea, Maya, Russia, Spain, and Venice. Judged not on the basis of power, but on bringing something fun to gameplay with their unique features.

 

[Barghaest]

Well, the civ I've enjoyed playing the most didn't make the list (had a lot of fun in my Denmark games) other than that I'd have preferred an All of Them choice (not just all the ones on THIS list) since I tend to not care too much which civ I play, I'll probably still have fun (been going down the list to get the achievement for beating the game with each - playing Iroquois right now - I've played almost all of them before but didn't get achievement because I either lost, didn't finish or was playing a mod like CIVUP or my slow research because vanilla annoys me).

 

[comatosedragon]

Well, from the available list I chose Korea, Inca, Portugal, and Russia.

 

[cpm4001]

Arabia, Sweden, Spain, The Netherlands, and The Shoshone, in that order.

 

[docbud]

I chose Inca, Netherlands, and Babylon.

 

[Aenthin]

I'm surprised Portugal made the cut. Or maybe the second half was just mostly unappealing?

Anyway, voted for that and Arabia.

Byzantium!!! And only byzantium!!!

 

[Tabarnak]

I picked all of them

They are all good and fun if you know how to get the most of their bonuses.

 

[Grendeldef]

In no particular order.

Arabia - clearly OP but when one wants an easy win, nevermind the VC. Excellent for testing new concepts of the game.

Inca - somewhat unexpected powerhouse and always cool.

Maya - anything is possible, dirt & neighbours give a guideline what to do next

Spain - wonderful in trying out all sorts of weird stuff depending of available natural wonders and two strong UUs when proper warring starts if thare're no NWs.

 

[Securion]

I take it that voting Byzantium on to this list was some kind of evil joke from people.

NO I actually legitly love BYZANTIUM.

 

[Væringjar]

Russia, Ottomans, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, Spain, Poland and Arabia

 

[Socratatus]

England is still my favourite Civ. I like those extra spies and better ships of the Line.

 

[Enrico Swagolo]

Why not Mongolia?

Anyway, voted Germany, Poland, Venice and Spain. Germany is just cool with the Hanse, the UA is now considerably more reliable (should be 100% though), Venice is just different to everything else in the game and is very interesting, Poland is nice too, and I just really enjoy Spain. Even if you don't see NW first, that's still okay if you settle one, and if you don't - well, you got some gold AND permanent happiness. Tercio and Conquistador aren't bad either.

 

[Magma_Dragoon]

My best games are always as the Dutch, and Poland is always fun with the extra policies.

 

[Hoplite191]

I still say India is the best. It's UA is amazingly good and it helps with growing good size cities without the problem of unhappiness from pop.

 

[Walter R]

I voted England China Greece - played many enjoyable games as these.
