Although I live in Chicago now, I was born in San Diego and attended UC-San Diego so I would tout UCSD instead of Berkeley

If capital isn't Sacramento then it should be San Diego!

Then there are the Rastafarians, who are Religious and Commercial , I'm not sure about the special unit. Bob Marley, Marcus Garvey for leaders, the ruler could be Bob. Hmm, which makes me wonder about the Ethiopians and Haile Sellasie, I'd have to do more research on that one ...
:crazyeyes

I've never met a true Rastafarian that I would consider "commericial". Rastafarianism isn't about selling stuff or pursuing worldly goods; it's about getting back to the roots of creation, and the revelation that Haile Selassie I is the almight Jah, and lives in I-and-I!

Also, Rastas wouldn't need Ceremonial Burial as they believe they are going to live forever here on earth. They have nothing to do with the dead.

Sorry - Rastas have no place in this game.

[Atlas77]

I would make the Dutch!

Capital: Amsterdam
Special Unit: could be a better galleon or something
Leader: Willem!

 

[Ilspana]

I wonder if anyone has thought to create the Hebrews for a custom civ... I know thats one that I plan on making eventually.

Why make the Hebrews? Because they were one of the first civilizations to come up with a moral world view. What was most remarkable about this, is that they lived in a region torn by feirce territorial wars and harsh climatic conditions. I think they have alot more bearing on the history of civilization than the Iroqious ever had.

Anyways, here's the stats.

Leader: Solomon (Not david, because although he's thought to be the savior of their nation, it didnt reach it's peak of power under his rule.)

Capital: Jerusalem (duh!)

Specifications: Religious (obvious reasons), commercial (this was a tough one... Although the hebrews took part in their fair share of wars, they only did it out of neccesity and weren't particularly skilled/organised in comparison to other civs in their part of the world. I chose commercial because few other choices seemed to fit with the hebrews. Most of their power was gained through trade, rather than expansion, military conquest, industriousness, or science.

Unique unit: Stone thrower. Warrior with -1 attack strength and +2 movement points. As you can see, he has just about nothing as far as attack goes.. However, His faith, resourcefulness and bravery in battle more than make up for it when he's forced to defend his homeland. He's also very useful as an early explorer, so commercial contact with other civs can be made sooner. (give me a break, cuz i really couldnt think of anything else here...)

P.S. And the Babylonians are absolutely NOT representative of the Israelites. The ancient Hebrews were very unique people for the region they lived in and shouldn't be classified under the likes of Assyrians and babylonians. Though i understand why the devs didnt include the Israelites in the game, i refuse to acknowledge the idea that they are included in the babylonian civilization.

I think i'll make the Portuguese!! (I wonder why?)

Their special unit could be the following: (still not sure)

- Portuguese Caravel (faster than the normal one);
(remember the time of Discovery of the New World or the Maritime path to India going around Africa discovered by Vasco da Gama in the 15th century or the discovery of Brazil in 1500's by Pedro Álvares Cabral)

- Portuguese Crusaders (with more attack streght than the normal ones).
(like when the explusion of the "infidels" in the 13th century, from the nowdays Portuguese territory)

 

[amadeus]

How about the "Fine Young Cannibals"?

Leader: Hannibal Lector

 

[CrazyScientist]

Civ: Monkees
Capital: Monkeyland
Type: Militaristic Expansionist
Leader: Dr. Xaius
Special Unit: Furious George
(drooling psychotic monkey with a big knife.)
(warrior upgraded to: 3/2/2)
Can move across jungle w/out expending
movement points

Shouldnt civs featured in CivIII have a history all the way back to 4000 BC ? If so what are the Americans doing here ? I bet if the game started with humanoids instead of civs, Americans would still be an option. Damn partiots!
... =).

"Americans wipe out Neandertals ..."

What happened to the Vikings by the way. Have we turned into barbarians ?

JayKay,

JBearIt and myself, have already done posts about a Portuguese Civ, in page 2 of this thread.

I guess we have more or less the same points of view.

Go there and check it out and give us your comments.

I quite agree with you, but that is not "politically" correct is it?

Besides, remember we are in an American forum. Therefore, you might just be considered a "terrorist" for speaking against the Americans.

Now seriously, I think the Americans should not be a Civilization, in the true sense of the term.
But then, who would be, besides the ancient civilizations? But it would certainly be more accurate, in term of history.

The English would be the Anglo-Saxons, The Portuguese would be the Lusitans, the Americans would be the Sioux??, the French would be the Galians (from Gallia, if that it the way I should say it...), the Nordics would be the Vikings, and so on.

In fact, they did it with the Italians. They didn't consider Italy, but the Romans. Why? They should be more coherent with these kind of things. And they did exactly the opposite!

But definitely, what makes me pissed off, is the fact that they didn't even replied me when I suggested the Portuguese Civ, both times I sent them a message.

This is a complete disregard for the fans suggestions and likes. And I already paid for 3 versions of Civ. They should be more respectful for me and others like me who paid for the product and made lots of positive free marketing for it.

This has been argued many times in many threads. Basically, the answer is NO or the game wouldn't be any fun.

No, you have always been barbarians! And <i>that</i> is what you get for suggesting they remove the Americans!

 

[The Balrog]

Conquistadore??? (Or something like that) That is what i think would characterise the Spaniards!

BuddhaBuba, isn't Sacramento the capitol of California?

 

[Baleog]

Why no mention of the Vikings. A fantastic civilisation which pillaged and raided its way across Europe. I expected that somebody would mention them after 3 pages, but apparently i'm the only one who didn't think they were rubbish. And no, to call them the Danes doesn't count. .


Anyway enough moaning. I'm not 100% on Viking history, but I would have them as a militiristic, expansionist.

I would have the longboat as their su. Like the tireme (how do you spell that?), except it doesn't get lost away from land. Or it should have extra capacity.

Ankara as capital of the Turks?!? Sure, it's been the capital since the 20s, and it was the scene of the Ottoman Empire's perhaps most annihilating defeat (by Timur Lenk in 1402), but I'd choose Constantinople/Istanbul any day of the week.

Keeping the Ottoman theme, I'd have Süleyman the Magnificent or Mehmet the Conqueror as leader. Special unit: Janissaries.

aggree with the Istanbul..
Ataturk would be a better leader, since he is the founder of current turkish country

janissaries were not that special at all... perhaps some improved version of horseman with better attack strength would be more suitable considering the fact that Huns were an ancient Turkish nation

or maybe an improved cannon; turks were the first to use cannons effectively against city walls for conquering a major city at 1400s.
