Favorite civ (or what you use the most)

I play the babs. I like the cheap improvements.

Unique unit could be better though

Rome or India, I never ever play as anything other than that. And elephants being mere normal knights isnt nice.

I edited the elephant to have an extra hit point and somthn else too, to help even it out, but I forget what.

[Gangerolf]

Egypt, Babylon, Germany or just a random one.

Rome is best !!
In ancient timet Rome was Largest Empire in
the world
In Rome Live 4million people!!!

[Nilat]

well isnt that great!!!

[Beren]

OK, 4 mln people. I think other civs were also pretty impressive.
I'd like to play Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, China, India, France, Germany, England, Iroqious, Aztecs, Zulus, Russia, Japan or random.

[N. Machiavelli]

Rome, Germany, and America; in that order of frequency.

An interesting thing; tThe ancient city of Rome and it's population of 1 million people is impossible to simulate in Civ terms. Since (without editing) a cities population doesn't reach 1 million until size 13(14?), it's impossible until Sanitation is researched in the Industrial age.

Edit: spelling.

Persia.
If I get iron early (I start with bornze working) I can
kill all my continental foes (on a standart map) very soon

There wasn't a difference (besides color and city styles) between civs in Civ II, was there?

For the human player, the only difference was turn order. This meant that if you were, for example, the white Civ (moved first) and you landed a spaceship the same year as any other Civ, you still win. If you were purple Civ (moved last), you lost.

However, different AI Civs had different "preference" settings, so the AIs played differently.

I have mostly played as the Persians on monarch. I am will start playing on Emporer soon, and I think I'll start using Random, as well.

[Dalai Lama]

I love the Egyptians... The Religious-Industrious combination is almost perfect.

[Knightblade pDM]

Persia or Germany..depends on when I want to make my in game push..Ancient or Industrial..but before that..Random

I play rome if I want quickie conquest. I dont see how persia is any good, since 1 v1 agst rome and persia, rome is far better with mil and com mod and the def of 3 can kick immortals butt. (immortal attacks with 4v3 and Legion attacks 3v2)

For any long term game egypt like everyone else and japan and china and aztec is my fav.
