  • What CIV do you miss?

    What nation would you wish you could play?

  • #2
    The mongols

    I never played as them, but they werea tough opponent. I'll add them to my game as soon as I get the chance.

      Mongols also. Now all the AI race to build cities like they did. Would be interesting to develop the dialog for the Great Khan. "A plague on all your houses!" -- Was known to shoot diseased bodies off catapults into beseiged cities. "That's the way you raze a city!" -- Utterly destroyed Kiev after a long siege; leaving a pile of skulls where once had been a city of 100,000, one of the largest in Europe prior to its destruction.

      Also miss the Celts.

            I miss the always infuriating invariably belligerent Mongols too. Sneaky, unprincipled, absolute b@st@rds- but ya gotta luv'em.

            I miss the Celts and the Vikings, because of my ancestry, and its always fun to have the Celts discover America first, or Vikings conquering sub-Saharan Africa or China.

            I suppose we should be grateful that the Mongols weren't replaced by the Timurids though. Too many razed cities and pyramids of skulls- a pollution icon triangulated?

              The Spanish were one of my favourite civs to play as. The Mongols were my all-time arch-enemies in Civ 2. So far in Civ 3, the Romans, Persians and Japanese give me the most trouble...

                  I miss the Cartaginians!
                  It was cool for me (playing as the Romans) to fight Hannibal and its Elaphant!

                    I definitely miss the wider variety of barbarians that used to exist. *Ahem* I mean, Celts and Vikings etc. Giovanni knows what Im talking about.

                    Just kidding all, theyre not barbarians. As a matter of fact, Im a little Celtic myself (Irish). But I always played the Romans, and loved setting myself up against them. Which is what I hate about Civ3, for all intents and purposes, no scenario creating, just an overhyped map creator, that you cant even place starting points on without cheating! Sorry......yeah, so thats who i miss

                      The Spanish, Mongols, Vikings, Carthaginians and Arabs at least. Also nice would be Maya, Inca, Korea, Netherlands, Macedonians,

                          Well if we are expanding this list beyond those Civs that came with the game, then I miss the Dutch the most. Put them into several Civ2 scenarios, and orange was their colour.
