What civ haven't you played yet and why?

[Aqualung71]

The one Civ I consciously kept away from was the Koreans since I've always thought their UU sucked. Having recently started my degree course at AU and begun to understand the benefits of artillery and the scientific trait, I have now begun a game as Korea. I have intentionally chosen as my rivals civs with strong middle ages UU's (generally knight replacements) such as Arabs, Ottomans, Chinese, Japanese, Russians. It will be interesting.

Since C3C I haven't got into the Middle-American civs so much.

[Dis]

heh. I haven't played most civs. Unless we are talking about scenarios in C3C

Let's start by who I have played. I have played as the Aztecs, Japanese, Celts, Romans, Babylonians, Egyptians (in a pbem), Persians (in the PTW demo only), and I think that's it. All the other ones I have not played in the epic game.

But if you include the Civ3 scenarios (including the tutorial scenariso) I have playd civs like America, germany, hittites, macedonians (greeks), spanish, incas, etc.

I've got a ton I haven't played. Probably close to 25 of the 31 available. Now the why is that I don't really play civ that much, and when I do start a game its usually a 16 player huge map game so it takes a fair while to resolve, or for me to get bored whichever happens first.

The Netherlands are a damn good civ, my current fav.

[Edit] The why. Was gonna make another post about it for the +1 but then thought I'd be good.
Quick Question: could somebody point me in the right direction to where to find out how to make it so I can play with 31 civs on a huge map, thanks.

Yeh, look personally I think the Netherlands are so good that I've started to feel guilty about choosing them, so I don't play them any more. Warped, huh?

I feel the same way about Ottomans, Carthage, China, and Maya.

Come to think of it, I guess I haven't played Egypt or Greece either. Their UU's never appealed to me.

[Fatwreck]

there are a lot of civs I havn´t played, I almost always stick to my favorites Iroquois, Babs, Greece and the Netherlands... kinda boring I guess, I´m gonna start playing more civs, played a recent game as the arabs and it went really well

[Caesar2760]

I don't play that much, and since I tend to go for long-lasting mostly peaceful games, they tend to last a long time. For that reason, I haven't played many of the civs, but I've never, since vanilla Civ III (when I was in love with the French) played the same civ twice. The civs I've played in C3C, some in scenarios:

Vikings
Maya
Russia
Netherlands
China
Ottomans
Zulu (briefly; I got them randomly but stopped pretty early)
Portugal (damn early GA with the Great Lighthouse...)
Spain
Japan
Inca
India

Of course, each game I start is as a new civ, so theoretically the list will keep growing till I hit each at least once. Next game is likley Arabs.

Civ's I have never played?

From the original:

The Zulu
The Greeks
The English
The Indians
The Germans

From PTW:

None of them except the Celts (got them from getting conquest)

From Conquest:

The Sumerias
The Hittites
The Portuguese

I'm not going to yell.

I'm going wait until the next time you are next to a coast, and, from my Galley, whack you upside the head with a big axe.

just played the Iroquios last night, so you can knock that off my list. Although I didn't have access to horses until late in the game, and I couldn't trigger a golden age.

Iroquios with no horses? Man that sucks!

I *think* I've screwed around with all civs until about 1000 BC, but might have missed a few. I've had RL in the way, and have been waiting on the 'final' patch to really go for it with epic games, and have been purposefully pacing myself on Conquests.
