Gramphos,
Hehe I'll contact Markos about it but this time I can't guarantee he'll listen: last time I sent him a PM he blatantly ignored me. Now, it's not unusual for Markos to ignore people but to my recollection that's the first time ever he ignored *me*
Re: bars:

Trifna,
SE Asian culture was to a certain extend influenced by particularly India and to a lesser degree China but it is generally seen as an area that brought forth a great number of distinctly different (from each other and certainly from the world around them) civilizations, of which the Khmer are just one example.

Boney,
Thanks for clarifying that, I was not aware of that. Both civs will be added in the next update.

LaRusso,
Relax! It's not illegal for people to vote for the Polish... I agree that some of the votes here have been slightly suspicious but that doesn't have to mean anything. If things threaten to go out of control again I'll take steps to prevent that from happening, but for now I think it's okay: a quick count tells me that only something like a third of the people who voted in this new thread voted for Poles, no real need for concern (yet).

[campmajor!]

Pfew, talk about rules.txt....

It is a shame a poll like this needs so much rules.
But I guess it's inevitable and it makes it clearer.

Jippie, an invalid polish vote!, isn't it? and there was much rejoicing. Or shouldn't he be warned. PS I am being somewhat of a Pot, towards a Polish Kettle.

[Gramphos]

Locutus,
Don't you think Markos would like to see a ranking with bars?

The thread I started about the codes are here. (I hoped to get some people interested in helping me convince Markos about it. Maybe should have sent a PM)
And Markos actually added both my Civ3-Avatars, and my 3 banned smiles, but he don't do anything that would take time to do. But as far as I know adding a BB-code is very simple, and can be done in less then five minutes. (I've actually written everything he needs in that thread. He just have to do some copy and paste.)

My belated votes

My votes:

1. Spaniards
2. Byzantine
3. Mongols
4. Turks
5. Vikings
6. Portuguese

The rest are pretty average.

What noted conquerors the Polish are - just ask Germany and Russia.

Hrrrghh!!!
How could I miss it? So sophisticated rules...
OK - Add:
5 for Dutch
5 for Turks
Now is it OK?

Little changing

I want to change a little something to my vote. I went reading a little on "Polynesians", Khmers and Aborigines. To who would like to get a not-too-bad source, go see on Encarta. Or even better I think: Britannica encyclopedia (www.britannica.com).

I concluded that Khmers, "Polynesians" and Aborigines were all three distinctive cultures, distinctive enough from others to make me say they are in the History's general cultural types. I also was very unsure about Hebrews/Jews, since what was initialy the Hebrew civ fell and at that time wasn't very big (historically, it is said that they weren't a major civ as the ones around). But as many civs, it stayed culturally, even if not in a specific territory (more in some place, less somewhere else). So the reason why I'd include them is for a cultural factor, because that they are perfectly distinctive even if Hebrews never been as Babylon, Egypt, France or Zulus. And they still are on the planet, even if mostly expanded everywhere (with a new territory, of course). As same as some other civs are little weak scientifically and everything but strong at some other stuff (Zulus, Iroquois, "Polynesians").


So here are the changes to my vote, based on the information I got:


Aborigines 8 (+8)
Khmers 12 (+12)
Polynesians (or the name that would define them) 10 (+10)
Hebrews/Jews 14 (+14)

Arabs 17 (-3)
Spanish 17 (-3)
Mongol 17 (-3)
Goths 17 (-3)
Celts 15 (-3)
Viking 12 (-3)
Algonquiens 12 (they are the other cultural type of native Amerindians with Iroquois. I include Inuits in Algonquiens)
Carthage 9 (-2)

[Myrddin]

Poles 20
Maori 20
Turks 20
Viking 20
Welsh 20
Carthaginians 20
Koreans 20
Californians 20

Austro/Hungary 20
Carthaginians 20
Ukrainians 10

Turks/Ottomans 10

Spanish +10 = 20

TOTAL: 160

I'm sure, that I will play Civ3 with Poles civ, despite of someone in this forum...
