What CIV do you miss?

Assyrians, Spanish, Turks

Maybe: Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Dutch, Sumerians, Mongols, Arabs....

Arabs and Phoenicians should absolutely be included, Carthaginians shouldn't be because they actually were Phoenician.

[Beren]

Include them or not, that may be....
I would just like to play them sometimes.

[Ribannah]

As you can see from the topped threads, we already had a democratic election for the next batch of 16.

This leaves the following civs to be wished for:

Nice, the Hospitaliers, the Vatican, Madurodam, Harlem, the Mohicans, the Illuminati, and finally ... Microsoft.

[Vetinari]

Yeh, I also miss the Vikings. But I wouldn't make their special unit a ship (for obvious gameplay reasons). Rather, I would make it a 4/1/1 swordman who can make amphibious assaults.

[V.O.C.'02]

those were all great civillisation, in addition to yours, you forgot the pigmees (little african dudes, special unit: mugsy bogues), the smurfs, swuiss (neutral pussies), and the looney tunes (special unit elmer fudd who replaces musketmen)

[V.O.C.'02]

the dutch should be able to rule civ3's mid games as they did in real-time, the dutch's golden age (17th century) were a time of world domination. They controled the seas, got themselves some nice Islands with enough spices and other luxeries to trade themselves to extreme wealth. the netherlands deserve a place in this game, because such a small country had been able to make such a difference i this world for allmost 100 turns.

Holland rules the waves, voor het vaderland: voorwaarts en schrijn geen piëteit voor de vijand!!!

you forgot the pigmees (little african dudes, special unit: mugsy bogues),'

So what does little Mugsy do? Dribble his enemies into oblivion??
Oh and one more thing: Go Dutch!

[Centauri18]

Wouldn't the Arabs be called Saracens if Saladin was the leader?

For the Arabs things like this stay a problem. First it was just Arabia, then there was the Fatamid caliphate, (pherhaps something after that) then the Mameluke's caliphate.
My objections to Saracens is that the game will be too Age-of-Kingsy, the name does not refer to the current Arab situation and my dictionary refers to it as being 'old name for Arabs in Spain and northwest Africa.'

So why do you guys always tear up my peaceful city?

PS: Nederland beleefde zijn Gouden Eeuw in grote mate dankzij de massale immigratie van Vlamingen en vooral Antwerpenaars na de Val van Antwerpen (1585). Dus een bedankje mag er wel af, niet?

PPS: op forum general zou je eens moeten kijken naar de thread van Immortal Wombat over CIV4 tech three --> dat wordt daar stilletjes aan the place to be voor ons

[AJ Corp. The FAIR]

Oh yes, I'm not that serious and demanding about it, mind you ,

but I kind of miss

the FLEMISH

Anyone?

[~OmegaRed~]

Simply another point of fact.
Yes the British did have the largest empire in terms of area
Yes the Mongols did have the largest empire in terms of contiguous land, but the mongols could capture one city and gain 10 square miles of terrain, the Romans, while never having the size of the Mongol empire, did have MANY more people under their control.

I miss the Mongols, Celts, and Carthaginians.

The game isn't the same without the militaristic hordes of Mongols. I always liked playing as the Celts and Carthaginians. They were quite unique and enjoyable civs, although they were not really big time historical civs like the Romans or the Chinese.

[siredgar]

Spanish and Mongols.

[DarkCloud]

The Vikings, Spanish and Mongols are sorely missed.
For the Mongols were always the unstoppable civ that would always stab you in the back, but who expanded much faster than the Russians who, too had the same mentality.

The Vikings were an interesting civ for ferocity, but on earth maps, never lasted long because of their bad positiong.

The Spanish were one of the most interesting countries to play as. They always seemed to receive extra settlers (that may just be me) but I also loved colonizing America with the Spanish and making cities wiht names such as Ciudad Juarez, Mexico City, etc.

PS. I never really liked the celts
and the carthaginians seemed useless but were fun.
I hated the sioux, but they were interesting, for the same reason as the mongols
