Which Civ will you play your first game as?

[Staszek]

Used to play Romans all the time. Not intend to change it... OK. maybe try others, since now it changes sth.

They like the French combination of Civ spesific abilites. Funny thing is they don't know what the special unit will be yet. If it turns out to be some type of mounted unit then the French could be really powerful. Right now my vote goes for the Persians because I really like the sound of getting bonuses in both science and industry plus there special unit should allow me to conquer several cities in the begining.

Vous ne connaissez pas Napoléon Bonaparte? Les Français ont combattu dans la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale et les Nazis n'ont pas touché les Etats-Unis! Vous ne te souvenez pas la Résistance? Le gouvernment de Vichy? Vous avez vraiment besoin d'étudier l'histoire!

What part of this don't you get?

[Juggernaut]

Russians. Possess a vast land area, excellent attributes.

[Gangerolf]

Vikings.

Woohooo, I'm not the only one!

Care to explain that picture? I see there's images ffrom civ2 there, what's it for?

I found the same for the Mongols as well:

[Steve Clark]

And why are screenshots showing Vikings and Mongols a suprise to ANYONE?!?!?!

[Gangerolf]

What are you trying to say?

[Steve Clark]

Gangerolf, the same thing I've been trying to say for months. Any debates on included/not included civs purely from an inclusion/exclusion point of view is a complete waste of time. Debating such things from a historical perspective is fun, as many here does well, but to whine that the Vikings or Mongols should be there misses the point, imo. Just wait a few days after release and you can play your first game as them or any of the other dozens of custom civs. That's why I didn't vote because he forgot to put the Irish on the list.

I totally agree I plan on making some civs myself (the Vikings, anyway).

But what are those images? Are they screenshots from civ3? Nah, that would be weird, because the leader portraits and the cities in them are from Civ2. And some of those cities look kinda alien

...and Romans take a commanding lead!

[Gothmog]

Three votes is a commanding lead?

[orange]

the way this poll has been going...

3 votes IS a commanding lead
