Which civ will you play as first?

[dregor]

I'm usually a 'random' guy all the way, but decided to switch things up a bit this time around. I think I'll try and play a full game with each nation first before going into random mode, and I think I'll begin with the bonus civ, Babylon. Have always found them interesting, and I love seeing them built up in civ games!

[Boris Godunov]

I always start my first game of a Civ series as the Romans. It's a bit of a tradition for me.

After I finish that game, I'm not sure who'll be second. It will be a close call between Americans, Germans and Egyptians.

[Proteus_MST]

I think as Germany, but I might also decide to play as China or England

[MxM]

Where is the civilization of bananas option (or banana republic)?

[Taharqa]

Either Egypt or Songhai. I've always been fond of the African civilizations.

[Nikolai]

Definitely Arabia or France. Probably Arabia.

[feelotraveller]

Definitely random. 2nd game will be random (restart if I get the same civ again)... repeat until they've all come up.

[onodera]

I'll start with Russia, and then cycle through all of the non-aggressive civs. And then through all of the aggressive civs.

[Sir Og]

Russia for me too. I think they would fit my play style most.
Siam will most likely be second to try and exploit the city states.

[ScrotusMaximus]

My first few games will be continents as England. Then I think I'll play a few on Pangaea as Egypt.

[fani]

First game with Greece, since i am a Greek ...Second will most probably be Rome .

[dregor]

I have to say i'm a little bit surprised by the results so far. I expected Rome and Random to dominate, and while Rome is ahead it's hardly a commanding lead. Of course the sample size is still pretty small, maybe if more people participate we'll definite trends emerge. I'm also surprised to not see anyone representing America yet, I figured that'd be close behind Rome and Random.

[Aro]

Random, for the first game. After that, I don't know...

[Aro]

Hey, zero votes for America, so far? Two days of poll already?

[thyrwyn]

I have decided to play my first game as French warmongering expansionists. In the early game, I plan to concentrate on developing culture and acquiring Social Policies that will allow me to unleash my Musketeers on an unsuspecting world. If feasible, I plan to win by building the Utopia Project. Honor is a given; Tradition if I think that I have a realistic chance at Stonehenge; else Liberty for faster expansion. Piety for happiness and free Social Policies
