Whats the coolest civilization in Civ 3?

[Alex 14]

I know you proberly need to know about civ-specific units and other things before voting, however what civilization looks the best so far?

[OneFootInTheGrave]

It always depends on a day taht I start the game.

[Sabre2th]

you left out my aztecs

[Eddin]

Well... we don't really know that much about the civs yet, so we cant really see... but I have one of them weird greek fetishes, so I guess that would have my vote in any game

[Inverse Icarus]

germans.

phear my panzers.

[Gangerolf]

Egyptians. Always Egyptians. Or Vikings, English or Carthaginians. Never played any of the others.

What's the Egyptian special unit? The mummy?

[Bereta_Eder]

As far as we know it's got to be the germans.

Having superior tanks in the modern era is a great advantage.

I'd play Greeks too but I'm pissed at the portrait of Alexander the Great. It's wrong. He should have long hair not short. This was one of his very well known characteristics. And he looks desperately constipated in the pics. This is not awe - inspiring. It's sad.

[Gangerolf]

But if you play as the Greek you probably won't see Alexander's portrait. Fool!

I agree that he doesn't look very *great* in the pic. He looks more like some bizarre puppet.

I don't want to be represented by a constipated guy. It will make the other civs nervous.

Isn't that exactly what you want

Do you really believe the German panzers can outwit the U.S. Abrams?...give me a break.

For one thing, I happen to speak a bit of german, and the word "panzer" means armor, or tank, so I think that when they refere to the name, Panzer, they are talking more about the King Tiger Tank, or the Panther...anyway.

According to history, the German "Panzers" had approximately 3 inches of armor, and an 88mm gun...

and the modern U.S. Abrams has about 6-8 inches of armor, and
has a gun of 105mm, and don't forget that awesome M60 machine gun it carries on its turret, so as you can see, the panzer tanks are no match for us americans.

sorry to get off the subject, I would say we can't vote for any civs since we know almost nothing about them.

The America M-1 has a 120 mm gun with no, I repeat No machine gun unless you attach one on top of the turret (50 cal.) Ref: M-1 tank crewman sunday June 17, 2001 Travis AFB Open House. All early M-1 have been upgraded to M-1A2 status.
I play at the American most of the time, However I have played every Civs in Civ 1 and 2

Diablo,

It's sad that you have suffered to learn this, err, interesting things that are competely useless in civ

Your patriotism is touchy but also irelevant

According with the facts on hand, the germans will have a tank as their special unit. By plain civ logic a special tank is better than a regular tank.

Panzer might mean armor but Alexander had long hair. I'm sorry for you if you can't understand immediately the wisdom of my words.

The thing is that Firaxis are not historians and are thus not obliged to be historically accurate. The germans will get a special tank. That's what matters.

Hmm, you do have a point there

[Footie Mad]

Doesn't everyone want to play the civ that represents their nationality? Now where are those damn vikings......
