Guess what, Greek isn't agricultural either...Provolution said:Everyone knows that the agrarian Civ trait is too strong compared to the other traits, readily admitted by some Firaxis programmers. This has been corrected in Civ4, and alas, too late for C3C. My team (TNT) misguided chose a non-agro Civ to play before I joined, which is reflected in the civilization growth in sheer numbers. The very reason Iron was non-agro and Iroq was agro, was the very impetus for the said war. Another factor was the rule discussions, which had secondary motives. Enough said, I play the game for the drama, and whatever outcome is acceptable, it is just a game.
The Celts surely leads, which is great on a balanced map. But keep in mind the various dynamics played out in the rule discussions, superiority of agro trait and balance of powers on the various continents.
The game is not as balanced as it may seem, not due to the map, but due to the agro trait. At Apolyton, their Multi Team Demo game had omitted/banned all agro civs, so they played with Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Persia, Chinese and Mongols. This actually balanced out that demogame to keep it exciting.
If your team is actually the best, the traits shouldn't matter
