What's your favorite Civs of the 16 featured, and why?

[tniem]

I really want to find out more about each of their special unit becase it appears that Firaxis has done a great job balancing everything out.

However at this time I have to lean in the direction of the Babylonians, Indians, and Greeks.

[monolith94]

Babylonins. they were the very first civ that I played as in Civilization, and still my favorite to this day.

One question, are the Sioux, Americans and Aztecs the only civs to start in America? I think the incas should be included too. . .

The American civs are: USA, Aztecs , Iroquois.

My favorites are the Japanese! I'm very happy that they are in the game Because I love there culture, there nation and there traditions and they facinate me.

Also there abilities seems quite good, the combination of militaristic with the ability to switch governements and a good culture level(cheap religious buildings) and not much unhappyness(cheap religious buildings) have some potential I think.

But on a world map is there biggest disadvantage that they start on an island but if they get an early good unit(like samurai) in combination with there militaristic abilities will they have a chance to conquer the not militaristic China(or parts of it) I think.

I think my favourites will be Babylonians, Egyptians and Greece. Not only because I like those civs, but also their abilities combination make them great cultural powers (which is a kind of game I prefer).

As for a particular one, Babylonians seem the most interesting for now, as they have been dealt with on the Civ of the week. The time will tell which one I will like the most though.

(Luckily it seems the three will be covered first on the Civ of the week so I will not have to wait )

My favorites are the French (because of their extra point in production and commerce) and the Greeks (scientific and commercial)

[Wittlich]

The Americans because - The Kid is American

[JosefGiven]

1. Russians (will invariably be changed to Soviets) because I have an unhealthy obsession with the cold war.

2. English. Patriotism for the use of. BTW, are there a choice of male and female leaders? Who'll be the male leader of England?

3. Romans. Timeless appeal.

PS: Is it just me, or does Brent's profile picture look a bit too much like South Park's Kenny?

What, you mean my SMAC Believer Faction cross??

[Stefu]

Thank you, JosefGiven! Now I shan't be able to shake the image from my head for the eternity!

[- Groucho -]

I'm leaning toward China as most suiting my playing style (get a big scientific lead and pump out the advanced units).

[Pythagoras]

The Romans of course! Just out of sheer effect on history.
