How many Civs do you like in a game?

[Howitzer Al]

Seven.

Early on, I tried it with 3 a couple of times.
Not as much fun. Also, GL was one of my favorite wonders at the time and it wasn't much good with only 2 AIs.

voted for 5

(7 are just fine)

I prefer maximum interaction of civs.

[Juggler]

I always play with 7 civs, especially on a map with many islands.

[The Mad Monk]

Seven--the more, the merrier! Thirty-two (thirty-one? must not forget the barbs...) civs would be even better--as long as the total city limit was increased by an appropriate amount.

Kyle, like your avatar--whenever I read your posts now, I hear them in 'that voice'...

I voted 7, but that was for SP

For MP, my optimal is 4 human players, no AI

Any more and the game goes a little to slow.

i feel the same way...... 4 in MP is purrrrrrrrfect i think... but you need all seven against the AI

[Dr.Oogkloot]

Seven of course. Makes for the most interesting game.

[Zopperoni]

This seriously depends on the map you play on...small maps and many opponents isn't very fun to me...

[Ecthy]

sounds pretty sad, Zop

[Zopperoni]

Nahh...I just enjoy the long game better and the easy, relaxed building

[Dr.Oogkloot]

It's nice to have Civ as a sort of simulation game like that. Satisfies my large-empire-fantasies.

[CivPatriot]

7 civ, small map, king level(go ahead laugh if you want), a few hours later, pure Civ satisfaction

[aristonico]

After several trials, I prefer big maps with 7 civs: space enough to start and possibilities to bong a couple of AI heads. Ah! by the way, emperor level

[Father Beast]

I'll go 7 civs no matter what size map I'm using. varuety makes it more interesting. somebody is always conquered before I find them, anyway, so it may be more like 6 civs in the end.

got to turn that respawner back on...

If I want to have lots of room to build, I can edit the game.txt and play by myself! no opponents at all!

usually more fun when the zulus come calling, though, demanding money to finance a war on the other side...

[Bohlen]

7 in SP.

Very rarely will I play with less.
