ADG,
However, Japan is already in Civ3, so I'm gonna have to ignore that one. Feel free to post an update to your list though...

Couldn't remember (and was to lazy to check ) so I thought, it was better to give it some points just incase it wasn't in the game

[lockstep]

BTW, while I see the danger of disrupting the 'reliability' of this poll, it would have been nice to be able to assign up to 40 points (1/4 of my total vote) to a single civ. Reason: I don´t think that an expansion pack will include more than 8 civs, yet feel that some of my suggested additional civs are more important than others.

However, many thanks for starting this thread, Locutus.

The problem with this Poll is that some civers doesnt seems to realize that Civs in an official expansion-pack must be weighted against each other, and they must be placeable 3 of them in each of the 5 main cultures.

Check out the civ-specific abilities table. Two X-values in either of the 5 abilities; militaristic, commercial, expansionist, scientific, religious & industrious. And 3 civs in either of the 5 coloured culture-spheres.

Also; you can hopefully always download Civ-modpacks already a month or so after the official release, so I dont think you have to wait that long. Anyway; perhaps you should remodel this Poll with above in mind, and start again?

[Locutus]

Votes updated up to Snapcase (you guys are posting way too fast! ). Since many civs have an equal amount of votes, I started to count the number of votes casted on each civ as well. If the # of points are a draw, # of votes determines the ranking (if that's a draw too, just plain old alphabetical order will have to do, unless someone knows another way to rank the civs).

Al'Kimiya,
I gave your Berber/Carthaginian votes to the Berber, in accordance with the new rules. All civs get 10 points.

Snapcase,
Kilwans will do just fine. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that anyone else actually knows Swahili isn't really a civ but just a language.

ADG,
Hehe, you still don't know the Civ3 civs by heart? You heretic! Anyway, as I said, because of this you still have 15 points to spend if you'd like to...
I don't see a real reason for negative points: what reason could there possibly be to not include certain civs (other than them not being significant enough to deserve a place)?

Lockstep,
I can see your point, I choose the 20 limit rather arbitrary I'm afraid but it had to be set at something. Personally I'd say 40 is too high, but I guess 30 or so might have been possible (I actually doubted between 20 and 32 when setting that limit). Anyway, it's too late to change it now, too many people have already voted...

Markos,
Yeah, I noticed that too. I already considered announcing my vote with 'And here are the results of the Dutch jury' but I figured I'd give someone else the opportunity to make that joke. Still waiting though...

ralf, lets leave it to Firaxis to do the "weightening"(if that's the word). we're just posting here what we would like to see.....

besides, since we've got people from all around the world, as we sum up the votes the... "weightening" is done "automatically"


btw locutus, if you're going to suggest minoans and macedonians, you might also suggest mycenaean, spartans, athenians, doreans, ioanians, thebeans, etc
hey, lets' forget the spanish and the mongol! firaxis should an expansion pack on Ancient Greece!!!
