Which Civ do you plan on playing and why?

[triske]

With all the information that has come available, which Civilization do you plan on playing and why?

I've been looking for someone to post this poll and surprized that nobody has done it yet.

My current thought is Greece. Why is that it gets two of the best UUs in the game and it gets them early. I want to see whether an early military expansion is viable despite the strong cities/emphasis on defense and unhappiness issues seeming to suggest that it's not.

My second thought is Babylon, go for that Science rush.

Probably Japan. I have way too many conditions I'm thinking off. I'm looking for a civ that (in no particular order):

1. Civ that interests me
2. UU that doesn't come too early, as I'm going to be floundering around in my first game. I don't want a UU that comes in too early for me to take advantage off in my first game.
3. UA that will be more straightforward to use and take advantage off in my first game.
4. Interesting UU, UB, UA.

I voted Babylon, but that depends on what they look like tomorrow......if not them, I am going to try Russia because of the cheap expansion and double resources for iron, horses and uranium.

 

[Balkor]

England, Why? Because I love navys in games like this, having a few fleets constantly patrolling around waters fighting the french in their inferior wooden technology xD Also any game like this I will always play my native country first for world domination and from then on its random selection.

Edit: Also I personally think each Civ should have a UU for mid and end game units but im guessing for certain civilizations they cant actually do that.

Planning a French Stonehenge rush to really test the Social Policy system . . .

And then unleash my musketeers on an unsuspecting world to test the new combat system

 

[HighHandz]

I like to play Random.

Split between Russia and France.

 

[Civafl]

Random.
I want to play around with the various civ traits and UUs before I decide which I like the best.

Germany, always been Germany in all of the Civ games(though I do sometimes jump around with Russia and America to)

 

[Oneluv]

Songhai indubitably. A new Civ game and a good Song and Hai...what else could a guy ask for?

Isnt there already a thread like this?

If there is another thread like this, please post it. I had been looking for one with a poll about which civ people were planning on playing and I didn't find it.

Its interesting how it is pretty spread out right now with 46 votes in.

It's a toss-up between France and Russia for me. Probably France because their two unique units look useful, their trait should be good, and I thought they were pretty bad in Civ 4 so almost never played them in that.

it has to be Rome again, just like cIv, civII, civ3, cIV...

There isn't an option for random on that one either.

 

[Vandraad]

I'll start with Rome..always have.

 

[nanozach]

I'm thinking about trying golden age spam with Persia.

 

[DennisIran]

[AbbieRevo]

Greece, becuase i'm interested in the new city state system, may be an OCC game
