Pre-Poll Discussion: Civ Choice

[roadcage]

Look under a Mountain of shields. There you will find Otto. Who just happens to be Militaristic and Scientific

[lmtoops]

You want a challenge, let's adopt the barbarians. Now that's a tribe that needs help.

I was playing last night when a barbarian warrior attached my mechanized infantry....very funny stuff!

Germany, Greece, Korea, India, and Babylon are my top five.

Good grief. Industrious? American? Carthage? C'mon people - our combined expertise would make any such game laughable. Let's go for a real challenge, like the Koreans or some such.

Yes! Exactly. Let's pick a weaker civ. No industrial trait allowed. C'mon guys, at least handicap ourselves to some extent. And something with character.

Greece and India work for me. Babylon as well. And Rome would be interesting.

If we want a good civ then I would choose the Ottomans, for a weaker civ I would choose the Celts and for a challenge I would choose England.

I'm not really big on India.

[Sheik]

China would be a great choice.

another power reserved for the DIA

i'd like to use the Vikings, especially on an island map.

mil / exp is decent, not too powerful. the unit, however...

What? We haven't even started yet and you already assume there will be enough members that refuse to use their intelligence that we will have another Left Wing Liberal Party that votes with the Warmongers?

I wouldn't mind playing Germany either just so I could use the words "ACHTUNG!" and "WIENERSNITZEL" everyday.

ROFL!

that is pretty much what happened last game

[Nuclear Winter]

Germany!
OR Japan,
or teh Vikings.
Kill and kill, I say, this is funny, so this is good.
Though as soon as we get to become 20th century we must become civilized liberal left-winger social-democrats.
