Which civ do you play the most?

[Dis]

I'm not asking which one is best. I'm asking which one you played the most (i.e. in more than 50% of your games)

[Dis]

dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how did the thread title get messed up?

This is what appeared when I hit new thread. I changed it manually, and this microbitti thing came up still. ARRGHH!!

[Dis]

can a moderator please change the title to which civ you play the most

[Libertarian]

Franch, and then Chinese.

Didn't you or someone else have that same title problem just this morning?

[Dis]

bump

and a plea for a moderator to change the name of the thread. I don't know how that got in there. Change it to: What civ do you play the most?

I really would like to know what the most popular civ is. And which civs aren't getting played much.

[Ming]

Hmmmm... this is the second thread I have had to edit today because of the same "title"...

I have no clue where that other title came from

[Dis]

thanks, I will never say another bad word about moderators again. At least for today

I set everything to random and play from there, but I can say that I get the Babylonians and Persians more often than the others.

[Jaybe]

Hammurabi

My first (tutorial) game was, of course, as the Romans (Chieftan level).
My next game I did was random: Babylon selected (Warlord level).
My third game, I continued with Babylon (Regent level).

My style of play is more "responsible steward" than "win the game whatever it takes" or "conquer everyone else." The Science/Religious improvements being half price really makes it easy to build culture (and happiness and science).

First game lasted 10-11 days, including many worknights getting 3-4 hours sleep. 2nd game lasted 3 weeks, and now I'm 10 days or so into my 3rd game.

excellent responses. As I had expected the zulus and Indians weren't being played much. I expected more play from the Brits from the name alone- I realize their traits aren't all that hot.

[Blisterz]

The Iroquois. So I can send the white man back into the water from which he came...

[GeorgeG]

French - can't knock a great thing. Industrious is my favorite civ-trait, commerical is great too for the colony-cities.

[November Adam]

Persians here...

The science is good.. the industrious is great. go little workers go!

[Badtz Maru]

I voted for Egypt, as that is what I used to play the most. I love Industrious workers, and Religious is one of my favorite traits because I like to build up culture (and the short anarchy periods is an added bonus).

I've played a few games as the Babylonians because of their great culture potential, but I didn't care for them that much. Usually by the time I can build scientific improvements I have a high enough production that getting them for half-off isn't worth that much (while the ability to build cheap religious units fast is always great with new cities).

Recently I've been playing Romans and I'm getting to like them a lot - I've been doing a lot more early warfare since I have moved up from Warlord to Regent, and the Romans are great for that (Legions rock!).

[Terser]

Germans, with an occasional Ceasarean romp...

Kinda strange. When I played World War II Online a lot I would never play Germans, not even in offline practice. But playing them in this game doesn't even bother me at all. Think that's attributable to four things:

1. Panzer is cool lookin'
2. Bismarck is but-ugly, but at the same time he is the one leader who appears to have a little dignity and doesn't resemble a cartoon caricature.
3. I've got nothin' but love for the (modern) German people, and I don't think we need to browbeat them about WWII everyday (maybe every other day). That said, I don't feel quite so strange about working my peasants to death and razing huge cities when I'm playing the Germans.
4. They are militaristic. Since I tend to focus more on butter than guns my military needs whatever (slight) edge it can get.
