    With the way people around here feel about the Americans I would have to say the Americans.

    Maybe the Aztecs could be the 'bad guys'. I'm not real sure, though. I know my Civ2 bad guy was the Mongols. Oh how I hate the Mongols in that game. Well, that's for a different time and place.
    However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

      What exactly do you mean by "bad guys?" If you are referring to warlike civs clearly they will be the ones with "expansionistic" ability, esp when coupled with "militaristic" ability. So it would be the Zulus that lead the pack of "bad" guys, followed by Iroquois, Americans, Russians, English, and Germans.

      In a standard game of course.

            I'm not big on spamming but I just have to say this. That was hilarious about the Alex14 joke. It's so true about him, but it's ok Alex.

            They are all bastards. Even Gandi ties to extort me.
            Yeah, Ghandi's a big loser. So is Catherine the Great, she's such a backstabber. Can she ever be loyal? Sometimes for no reason at all she'll declare war on me while we had an alliance.

            My vote still stands as the Aztecs. For whatever that's worth.

                    No, I think it will be the Russians.

                    Like the inclusion of the Palace and Hall of Fame, this is one more thing that will revive Civ1 glories.

                        I'd say that it sort of depends on who is chosen to "lead" each Civ. For example, the Russians could be turned evil just by using Ivan the Terrible for the leader animation. Or by having the Russian "throne room" be replaced by the Russian "chamber of horrors." Probably every Civ had an evil bastard leader, so it would be easy to turn any Civ into the bad guys.

                          I’ll miss the Mongols, no other civ had as much potential of frightening you as those purple/brown (depending on the instalment) chaps with those rough city names (all those k’s and r’s) whenever they popped out of the darkness of unexplored territory. The Zulus always scared me too but they just miss that extra... maybe it’s their green colour (reminds one of environmentalists) or the city names (Ulundi, such a softy name) but Zulu horsemen never came across as frightening as Mongolian ones.

                          Besides, when you’re playing on the real world map, you’ll miss the badass terrorising the Eurasian continent, since the Zulus are just too far away.

                            I still think the most stormtrooperesque unit is that Babylonian Bowman. Plus Hammurabi has a realy nasty scowl.
