Iroquois, they have the biggest advantage because they are argicultural and commercial, this means they'll get + 1 food and + 1 commerce in their city squares, desserts will also produce 1+ food if irrigated and moreover there is less coruption because of the commercial abbility. Unfortunately their unique unit sucks; mounted warrior. But all the advatages will give you the head-start for total domination, in most cases ofcourse.

mounted warrior suxs? it just kills all in ancient era, even against pikes are good. they are unbeatable in mass ( early golden age suxs though)

 

[Black Flag]

Netherlands out of these choices. Otherwise I stick to England, France or Arabia...

i agree w/ sabat. the mw is one of the most powerful units of the ancient ages. it's pretty much a fast swordswman, minus one defensive point, but that doesn't really matter. u can get horses much quicker than iron, and unlike iron horses don't run out.

i would say my favorite civ would have to be the romans, though because of their unique unit. pretty much a pikeman with 2 extra defense for the same cost. beat that

Netherlands on this group because that food helps, as does the +1 movement for sea units on a long trek to find the other civs....not to mention the anguish I feel whenever anoher civ beats me to a place to make a city by one turn when I play as any other civ without seafaring...

though Japan comes in a close second with the samurai and being able to change govs REALLY quickly...

Overall I'd say Netherlands, but only cause of their traits, I always hated the stupid Swiss mercenary...

*note - Out of 'this' list i'd say Netherlands.

I voted for the Ottomans. I like using both industrious and scientific, and Sipahis rock!!!

Iroquois: agricultural, commercial, mounted warrior, start with pottery and alphabet, all in all a great civ.

Although random would be a better answer to the question (what I like to play, rather than my favorite).

I voted for the Zulu. They aren't the best civ, but they bring out the warmongerer in me. And considering how I am already a huge warmongerer, that is really saying something. Last time I played I cleared out my continent(Monarch level, Standard size map, continents) of 4 civs before the other continent was even contacted.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Sumeria is my favourite. They're great builders, and a good builder can destroy a warmongerer.

 

[Deep_Blue]

Ottomans are the stongest added civ in conquest . There Sipahis are among the best UUs in the game.

 

[Stormfalcon1970]

Used to be the French, IND/COM and Musketeers. After they hobbled the IND trait the French arn't as good for me, but I still like them. I am now enjoying playing as the Iroquois and plan to move on to the Maya sometime soon. AGR is a really good trait to have. Ive had some nice sized cities in the middle of the desert. Give me a few floodplain and/or oasis squares to work and lookout!
Mounted Warrior is an awsome UU for getting rid of those early annoying neighbors.
"Sorry, paleface. That iron deposit is sacred to my people."
I gotta admit the early GA thing really sucks tho. :thumbdown

 

[The Dark Master]

Who the HELL did'ent vote for Persia!?!

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Perhaps people who enjoy playing as other civs?

 

[Grezz]

I haven't been playing for long, but I always play as the Ottomans. I just always seem to do pretty well with them. I like their UU and their strengths.

 

[Chibiabos]

Y'all need to learn how to play a REAL civilization -- India!

Mahatma ma ylook all skinny and poor, but that Rel+Com combo is killer for building a real civilization to stand the test of time! Off the bat you can build temples and at half the shields non-rels can build ... why bother building some pesky attack force when you can just culture flip the AI cities? Just keep a strong defensive force, build your trade network and city improvs, and keep them cheap religious improvs coming!

And when the game cheap-lames you out of resources, your UU can save the day ... may not pack spectacular punch, but the elephant doesn't require any strategic resources.

The French are a decent second for building a decent empire with Com+Ind.

 

[mastertyguy]

Iroquois for me. I like those Mounted warriors

 

[Dreadnought]

Long live Rome!

 

[NintendoNut]

Ottomans. Scientific and industrious is a good combination. And the sipahis rock.
