    Which Civilization Irritates You?

    Preferrably one outside of your culture.
    That is to say; if you're Japanese, the Chinese and Indian are going to be by you; so either accept them or play as another Civ.

    So which different cultured Civ irritates you?

    For me, I have been playing as Japanese or Chinese and I absolutely loathe the lying French.

    I drink to one other, and may that other be he, to drink to another, and may that other be me!

      Xerxes is always stabbing me in the back. I mean always.
      No matter how big we are, what civilization I'm playing.
      In almost every game the persians betray me.
      I have no idea why.

        English, Aztec and China are bad too.
        This should be a multiple-choice poll.

          it's hard to capture the Greeks' cities early on because of those damn hoplites, that really pissed me off.

              And you people are usually playing different Civs every time? Not one that has Persia in the culture, for instance?
              I agree though, about Persia. Not a lot of experience with Greece.

                Germans, I can't stand them! I'm not crazy about Aztecs either.

                  Nearly every game I've been next to the Americans, they've sneak-attacked me. So in the game, the Americans tick me off.

                  The Iroquois are much the same. They've sneak attacked me on many occasions as well (quite devastating since their Mounted Warrior carves up).

                  The Greeks have also been known to sneak attack me (and even declared war once when I was much more powerful, and demanded them to withdraw from my territory). They did however, provide very little resistance, and were quickly reduced to a three tundra town sized civilization.

                  The English just tick me off for no particular reason (I've yet to experience any sneak attacks from them). Egypt are much the same (unless of course I'm using them).

                  India are masters at backstabbing. They are however, not masters at fighting the war after their initial strike.

                  I guess that leaves Persia as the one who ticks me off most. Once, they entered my territory with two stacks of riflemen and Infantry that took five minutes each to move. They have backstabbed me every game. Difficult to fight them in the ancient era because their immortals are nearly unstoppable. Hard for me to fight them later because they build a HUGE military.

                    Right, I forgot about the Persians. That Xerxes is a notorious backstabber. In my last game he invaded me with over 100 infantry/cavalry at a time. Thank God for modern armors and armies...

                        The Germans, Babs and the Russians are always the hardest civs for me to deal with. They are always trying to extort something and will go to war if the wind changes direction.

                          Greeks and the Germans are the worst in my games. Sneak attack after sneak attack! Extorsions too! Now I mass troops early on to wipe them out.

                            The Aztecs are always aggressive and their UU is a real doosey early in the game.
