Which civs have you NEVER played as?

[Panzer]

To my shame I have to confess I've only played as the Germans and Persians . Maybe it's time for some Íroquois action.....

hi ,

if there would be more "civ specific abilities" then more people would play more civs , ....

it would also be fun to play one turn as Russia , the next as the Germans , then like the Americans , ...

in civ2 you have that option , in civ 3 not , ...

it would be nice to see it come back , this way you can play whoever you want , ... all civs in one game , ...

have a nice day

Sounds like it's a hotseat game you're talking about... You don't need to be several players to be able to play hotseat games (And the seat doesn't get hot, if you play all the civs )

hi ,

okay , some games have a "hotseat" , but it aint even worth the name , .....

a hotseat should be an easy option , you should have the ability to play each player without limits , ...

actually if you look at most games that have a hotseat you can see that none of them are perfect , ....

maybe a bit brainstorming here would bring answers and solutions , ....

well it should go in its own thread , ...

have a nice day

Most people with their home nations as Civ's will be played the most. ie I usally end up as English.

PS. England has had to be crafty thughout history to suvivive. It's the British way.

That's not my case (Sure, Denmark wont be in the game... )...I proberbly wont play the Vikings much (Unless the random thingy hits the Vikings often of course...)

[Lecommencement]

I rarely play anything other than the Chinese or Persians. I have gotten so used to building roads in a turn that I can't stand anything but industial civs. I have never played as the Japanese or the English. I guess I have something against them.

[Carver]

I make a point of playing them all. I would probably pick the Americans for worst UU though. Staring a Golden Age is tricky, like a couple games ago when I went to war with a small neighboer to start a GA, and they only had 5 bombers. It worked, but that's not as conveinent as the other UUs.

It's probably easier to trigger an American Golden Age using Great Woneders.

I have never played as India, America and France, and I will propabily never will, perhaps with the exception of France.

I have played as the Zulus, the English, the Babylonians and the Germans but I do not find them matching my gaming style. I never pick them, unless I have chosen the random option.

The rest, like the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Aztecs and the Persians are all excellent civs with which I always feel confident while playing!

I almost always play with an expansionist civ.

This is because my style of play is to expand rapidly at the start and the scouts allow me to do that. England is the bset on a archipegilo map cause of the Man-O-Wars allow me to successfully stop any futher enemy expansionism overseas. I like thwe Iriquois because of their mounted horses allow me to run rough shod over an early neighbour who happens to be in the way, and with the Americans, well I don't really play them so often cause I don't like em

[Silpy]

I really find the industrius strength most usful. It really gives me an edge. Commercal is usful with large, spraling empires, Religious is usful in cutting down turns of later anarchy and Scientific is OK, I usally do not need 2 free advances per age. They allways seem to be really usless. The others seem to suck.

[Gangerolf]

I can't play anything else but religious civs. **** anarchy.
