Civs in Civ3: Conquests

[ktaek]

There's no rhyme or reason to who gets included. Culturally speaking the US and Europe are the same. Remember there are/were civilizations with REAL differences like having no concept of property, no concept of nuclear family (shared spouses & children).

You can't say it's about historical impact either if the Koreans are included (and im racially Korean).

And now that the EU has its own currency, and is in the process of electing EU officials who's to say that EU isn't just 1 civ? It's far more accurate to describe Europe as 1 civ than it is to say all of North America is "Iroquois". The differences and battles and history of Native Americans is as rich as that of Europe's, and twice the landmass.

I don't think Canada/Australia will make it because it seems to be a requirement to have a rather active military history.

No they weren't. Only North America and Central America. they capture the old territories of the Mayans but the advance to South America was stopped by the Chibchas in Colombia.

[Chilean President™]

I didn't get that.

What I was meaning to say is that the Aztecs didn't have control over territory in South America 'cause the Chibchas indians (from Colombia) stopped them, I think (but I'm not sure) that in a region near Panama (or in Panama).

all of the european civs, with just the exception of the Celts, to my knowledge, all fit neatly onto a world map. good luck doing that with babylon, persia, the ottoman empire, arabia, egypt, and whoever else they are going to add in (actualy, all of those except Persia are in Arabia).

What do you mean by "all fit neatly?" There's almost no room if you include all of the European civs.

The Ottomans you should probably have based out of Constantinople/Istanbul. The Egyptians are in... Egypt. Babylon is in Mesopotamia. The Arabs are from the Arabian Peninsula, and they originally came from the western parts of it. Persia is in... Persia. There's no overlap there at all. They all fit just as "neatly" as the European civs.

Where else to get those UUs? It is rare that any civ has had a major impact on history without having a major military.

What about say Tibet for example. They were easily run over by the Chinese because of their adherence to a non-violent religion.

India was never really a military superpower. At least, on its own accord.

It depends on what you view as "having a major military." Some states (like Prussia or Arabia) became significant solely because of their armies, while others like England or Greece simply used their militaries to keep from being overrun (sometimes geing less successful at times ). Part of the reason nations exist is because of their armies. If you don't have one... then someone who does will just walk in. You can't exist just because you have culture or commerce.
