[Point13]

oh boy, i find myself just drifting over to the..................

yeap there it went, my brain stopped

i really dont have one. But in a tight spot i say...............

ummm... Rome i love their legionaries

 

[Cuivienen]

Byzantines. Dromons both look cool and are strong, Theodora is the most beautiful leader and Scientific/Seafaring is a strong trait combo.

 

[superslug]

Chinese
Ottomans
Mayans
I guess I kind of like the industrious bit, huh?

 

[Revolutionary]

my favorite civ and the best, coolest, most powerful civ of all time is the almightly Random civ

 

[Nocturno]

Mighty Rome!

 

[Longasc]

In every new Civ, 1,2 or now 3... I always try Rome first. They are by far not the "best" Civ, but I like them because of historical interest... they are just a cool civilization, and ideally suit an empire building game like Civ.

Actully, Rome is BY-FAR 1 of the most POWERFUL Civilizations in Civ3. The Leigon unit gives them a Defence of 3, like Pikemen, 2 techs into the game. And that unit WILL Remain up-to-date, until the Industrial Age. I have Triggered my Golden Age many times, in the Start of the Industrial Age. Also, I can make 2 + 1/3 Leigons
Per-Every Knight!! . Military gives the chance of a Leader quicker, witch means, Wonder in 1 Turn. Commercial = More Money and Less Corruption, witch can be dumped into the Science. Also Both of those Traits will NEVER STOP PAYING for the Entire game, no matter what age you are in.

My other favorite Civs are China, and believe it or not, I think The Aztecs have potentual to be the Most Powerful Civ becuse, They are Military & Agriculture. Agriculture gives them the ability to Irragate the Desert. So if you goto Full Nuke War, and the Planet turns into a Desert, thats not going to slow down The Aztecs at all. The ONLY drawback, is the Jaguar Warrior, 1.1.2, its attack is so weak that when u switch governments to trigger your Golden Age. By that time its going to be hard to Trigger it. So, u kinda have to Waste it early.

I usually choose civilizations with the religious, industrious or militristic traights. China, Japan, Germany.

I have a question for you guys, is the commerical traight any good? And is it a good idea to choose those kind of civies?

 

[Turner]

Depends on what I'm trying to accomplish for that particular game. I also tend to go through spurts of different traits. Right now, it's Agricultural.

 

[Goober]

Anything Religious, althought the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Celts in particular.

 

[Ville]

Byzantines

 

[Duke Togo]

Don't have one in C3C yet, I've been sticking to the Conquests themselves, but in PTW it was the Egyptions or the Chinese.

 

[Tranquility]

Alot of people LOVE the chinesse, and so do i. For war, there my favorite. I admit MAyans are awsome too.

 

[Point13]

China is nice, but not as comp

i wish rome was industrious...

 

[WarLust]

China - Fast riders for swift conquering; militaristic and industrious are extra bonuses

Japan - Samurai - fast, strong defensively and offensively, militaristic and religious; knows where horses are fast

Persia - Immortals, industrious, and scientific

 

[Renfield]

I love playing random Civs

 

[MarineCorps]

Russia for me.
