Which Civ2 Should Be Out Of Civ3?

Bitter foreigners, if they want a Civ3 without the Americans, maybe they should get a European designer to create it. Not only will the game have the Americans as a full blown civilization, but it'll be released to them months after it is in the States. Sucks to be you guys

Ok you're right, I shouldn't say that you told me to do so. You only suggested the idea and I used that idea. Sorry about that.

Well don't let it be said, that people aren't up to date (or alternatively thoroughly confused) about their geography.

America is not actually an entity. There are two continents with America in their name: North America and South America.

USA stands for the United States of America whereas Mexico's offical name is the United States of Mexico (USM???).

America came to signify the USA when all the European immigrants came to North America in the late 1800's and early 1900's. They really meant North America but "America" was just as descriptive a term and most of them wound up in the USA anyways.

Inhabitants of the USA have, as an adjectorial description of their nationality, the term Americans. This just confuses the matter even more.

Europeans are just as geographically confused as North Americans. Cyprus (which is a part of Asia) is seeking membership into the "European Union". And every year, both Israel and Cyprus take part in the Eurovision Song Contest.

There is not a single person in the department where I work (Natural Geography Institution) that knows that North America includes all of Latin America (which is NOT a continent) down to Panama and all of the Carribean Islands. These, my friends, are all a part of "North America".

Can't change the continents just because most people are [edited]...

I say out with the Sioux. They never build an empire and they are so easy to manipulate.

I voted the Japanese out. Why I don't know exactly, but I felt it had to either the Japanese or the Americans. I just took the one I wanted most away... Good reason? I don't think so...

That's alright, I only griped because I've been up working too long and am getting cranky. Need something to get my interest, so I overreact for the hell of it.

That and still bitter over my Apol4Elvis failure. Damn you MarkG

I would like to see an official answer to this pole by firaxis (30,77% for Americans). They exist few centuries only and are not really the civilisation. Why aren't we, the Slovenian in the Civ 3? We had our own country in .... eee... I think in the 7th century. Well, why?

[Recurve]

I would like to see the Americans stay, purely because I enjoy conquering them so much (who doesn't)?

The Japanese got my vote. Their empire was a complete failure, and the ablity to make good electrical products over a 50 year period doesn't really qualify you as a great civilisation.

[Trdi]

You can't really be serious? How can you compare Americans and Japanese?! Their culture is huge.

well trdi, you are independent for about say 10 years. i reckon americans separated a bit earlier...

I voted to get rid of America because of all those listed it seemed the strangest to start with in 4000 BCE. I agree with [insert name here] that more choice is better. CTP had lots of civilisations to choose from and I'd like to see that in Civ3. To tell the truth, though, I never choose nations with short histories to play in Civ games. It doesn't feel right. I'd like to see countries like the US and Canada be included as breakaway nations but that's already been forummed to death somewhere else.

Jealous of what?
I'd like to see the Americans stay though, and I'm 100% sure they will.

BTW: I voted Zulus, and I want the Sioux out too.

I stand corrected, are there any other countries where this is the case? (Understanding that each language will have their own word).

In Portugal we also call the US americans "americanos". Sometimes we also call them specifically "norte-americanos", but that depends on the person...


I voted for Vikings. Their cultural influence wasn't as big as the portuguese on the world. That's why portugal should be IN Civ 3.

yes i have heard of samo and the 'chair' in the field. now, you were conquered and remained subjects of Austria, then K&K for over 1,000 years. Then part of Yugoslavia one way or another for 70 years. Then 10 years of independence.
You really do not cound Samo people walking around with maces as a proper state? Sorry, but 200 years of American history are a real thrill in comparison with 1000 years of being Austrian subjects.
