  • Should Europe have as many civs as it does?

    There has been some debate about whether America, the Iroqouis and the Zulu are valid civilizations. This thread is intended to question whether we really need as many European cvs as there are in the game.

    No, there should be two American civs because America is that cool.

    Actually, Europe has merely 37.5% of the civs, and Asia comes in a close second with 31.25%. North America has 18.75% and Africa has 12.5%.

    Given the extremely large impact of European ideas and actions on today's world, I don't see the problem.

      Europe has more civs than Asia does in a landmass less than one quarter the size. Asia is about 44,579,000 square km (note that I'm using metric for y'all) if you include the Middle East, which you are. Europe in contrast is about 9,938,000 sq. km. Source

      Part of the question in determining placement is whether it is getting too crowded geopolitically.

        largest maps are 6x larger than civ2 "large"

        someone did some math and said that you can fit 20 cities in GB on the world map

          Well, seeing as Europe conquered basically the entire rest of the world and imbued their culture on it, they should receive a Hell of a lot of Civs.

            Somehow, there's something incorrect about what Irman said.

              Well what is it?

              Did Europe NOT conquer most of the world? Did they NOT leave their culture behind (Representative Democracy and Capitalism for starters).

                European Culture is hardly capitalist these days Imran. And few of the former colonies have been very successful at embracing democracy, at least until recently.

                    According to The Onion those Euro thingies are going to be redeemable for actual currency (US $) in over 15,000 European banks.

                        The Europeans are prolly at their welfare offices now, getting paid to continue bashing America online.

                            * Just back from the welfare office *

                            What is there to contradict?? You amercans obviously tried to make a poll that would annoy europeans. Only trouble is the result speaks our case!

                            Europe is great because... no wait, I don't have to explain, you allready seem to know!!

                              Felch is just a bigot. And as you can see in the poll, Europe deserves that many civs.

                              To quote the words of a great man, with one minor change. "Felch is the biggest close minded bigot on the forums". Imran, you know who I'm talking about, don't you?
