Which Civ will you play your first game as?

[Hydey]

I will play as the Aussies as usual

It's a common misconception that Germans don't like to talk about the World Wars. If your nation got all fanatical and unsuccessfully tried to take over the world, don't you think you'd joke about it just a little?

But I don't have time to get into an argument over the World Wars (translation: I don't know enough about them to win such an argument )

[YefeiPi]

Even though Firaxis changed Chinese attribute from scientific to militaristic. I still believe it is still the best civ. You can play the civs you want, but I will pride myself with the country with the most culture.

Oh I know...I'm an ardent Deutschophile, and find German culture to be one of the greatest in the world. However, I also have no problem confronting honestly the role Germany played in the World Wars. I would not be so critical of them in the first world war--France and England share a great deal of the blame for that situation, as do Austria, Russia, Serbia, etc. It was a pan-European bit of carnage, and no one nation was more responsible than any other. But history is written by the victors, so Germany is usually saddled with the blame.

Oh, and U.S. President Wilson was ardently against the imposition of harsh retribution against Germany after the war, felt it was unjust and would only lead to further troubles down the road. But France and England didn't listen...

Cheers

During the redrawing of the borders, he also warned against the clumping of ethnicities together into countries like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, but again they didn't listen...well at least Czechoslovakia split up peacefully. Wilson had the right ideas about Europe but I'm not sure if his domestic policies were as wise...I highly suggest you read "Lies My Teacher Told Me" (I'd tell you the author/publisher but I lent the book to a friend). It's a book about the errors in high school history textbooks. A nice historical read.

[Zopperoni]

Either Romans or Americans...those are the two civ's I usually play as anyway...

[Guynemer]

Probably the French, as that is my heritage, and their attributes also compliment my playing style.

[Be Quicker]

I would play with any random civ without any of the specific abilities, just to get a feel what the game plays like without any special ability. i.e. to judge their effect I would prefer to start playing without them and first learn about culture etc. in this game.

[Panzer]

I'll probably play with the Germans or the Russians. Scientific is a big plus in my opinion.

Nothing to say more than... Aztecs will arise!

I used to punish French civ in almost every game I played (really).
Why? Because of their betrayal in my first game!!! (civ2) From allies to worst enemies!

I also usually end up beating the snot out of the French. They were quite obnoxious in both Civs.

[Fidel]

i shall enjoy exterminating yanks and french playing as bismarck and catherine the great

[Adagio]

No doubt, the Americans on a world map

[orange]

Yeah, I'll probably play my second game on a world map with the Americans as well.

Interesting spread on the poll As of yet, no one starting off with the Japs...
