Originally posted by skywalker No, all civs should be (relatively) equal, though I can see how it would be difficult to get as many Iroquois citynames as German or English, and they should DEFINATELY be equal in terms of the actual game (don't make some civs better than others).
Game balance is over-rated. For a game like Civ, there's a lot to be said for making some tribes harder than others. You could have cultural handicaps for some tribes (which could be switched off), though you might want to add extra tribes per map size, knowing that some were very likely to be wiped out quickly.
There's already an imbalance that occurs from starting position. Why not add a few more intentionally.
