Zulu. I really enjoy aggressive AI personalities, Shaka being my favorite enemy of the last decade.
Quick story, my friend showed me Civ III. I hated it. Watched him again the next day as he played Babylon. Shaka owned a northern peninsula and attacked with hordes of fast moving impi. Seeing this UU in action changed my opinion of the game, and have since put a "few" thousand hours into the series.
Venice, easily. Looks unique and interesting to play. I would predict that there would be a number of threads in S&T on Venice, as all of the other new civs would play fairly routinely.
For me it's a toss-up between Morocco, Venice and Shoshone. The Venice UA looks like it'll provide a very unique experience and really make the most of the trade system. Also means you'll always have a great city location, which is much more fun than being stuck near tundra or plains. The early game can sometimes be a bit of a hard slog, and Shoshone will be good for this reason. Makes scouting and settling more fun. Morocco, meanwhile, will both takes advantage of the trade system, and be quite awesome with deserts. I like civs that have synergy with their surrounds/start bias, so I think it's Morocco that wins out for me. In the last poll I voted for Venice, though, so I'm definitely on the fence!
Brazil, but it's close. Even though Venice looks very fun and is the one everyone is talking about, I think that Brazil will be my favorite due to the synergy with my playstyle. Then again, I think building settlers is a chore and frequently hold off on them, Venice would be fun, so its kind of a toss-up. Poland seems to have synergy with the Prora wonder, so I'm probably going to play warlike and take Autocracy with them. They also seem cool. The Shoshone seem cool, and they also seem to have synergy with an ideology (Order.)
My List:
1. Brazil
2. Venice
3. Poland
4. Shoshone
5. Assyria
6. Morocco
7. Zulu
8. Indonesia
9. Portugal
