[Wernazuma III]

I'll play the Aztecs and my first game will be definitely on earth and not a random map.

[Alfonsus72]

One with an early golden age, probably the zulus or the egyptians.

[Alex]

Greeks. Definitely. So I won't see Alexander's face during diplo negotiations...

No, seriously, when I played Civ2 for the first time (ahhh good ol' days...), I chose the greeks, so it's a bit of a nostalgic trip to me. (I wonder how "serious" is this explanation... )

[Bereta_Eder]

Greeks but I'm biased

Also what Alexnm said is a good reason (not having to see Alexander's constipated expression).

[Transcend]

I'll start with any of the four: American, Chinese, German, or Roman.

I'll use Dubya, Jiang Zeming, Helmut Kohl, and Romulus Augustulus as their respective leaders.

[Melios]

Either Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, or Babylonians.
