Exactly.

My favourites are Russia, India and China.

*Searching for the option: Random*

Hey, where's that option...can't seem to find my favorite one...Random is a really great Civ...

[Anodyne]

ADG> You're right, too. Most of the time I pick Random. It's always fun to try new ones.

persians

persians:
have best trait (industrious) and good 2nd trait.
UU (immortal (iron working), 4|2|1) comes at a good time on small to standard maps: i mostly conquer my 2-3 nearest rivals with about 10-15 immortals (+1 spearman per captured city). GA helps getting in the replacements for the (very few) lost units.

Gotta go France!

Musketeers are great for counter attacking knights and even cavalry, and you can switch tactics with them relatively fast.

I love industrious civs ... I think its the best advance for a number of reasons I don't want to flood this thread with. And commercial civs start one step closer to libraries and more importantly, the republic. Since I start with masonry too, I can start building those wonderful pyraminds quickly without going against my quest for the republic.

However, I kinda wish I could trade the Commercial with Religious for the French.. Egypt is a close second of mine. I studied French history in university as side courses for a few years and I think they deserve to be more of a religious/industrious civ.

And finally, I just like them! Is that so bad? I just change the colour before the game to either the light blue or the orange they add as extra colours...

Just my two cents

I'm quite fond of the Babs these days. I also like the Americans. I have done very well with those Civs

[Serb]

Russia.

[Comrade Tribune]

Japanese. Temples, Great Leaders, Samurai... What more could you wish?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Of the old classics I would have to say the Iroquois.

[Odin]

Persia. Industrious + Religious is a killer combo and the Immortal is good at slaughtering horsemen before they reach my cities and are good at conque... umm... resorce securing.

Other favs:

2. Egypt
3. Greece
4. Mexico (Aztecs)
5. Rome

[Lord Merciless]

Persia is Industrious/Scientific.

[Carver]

From that list, probably China for the 3 move Rider. Post-PTW, I would go with Carthage; that 2/3/1 Mercinary rocks, I just don't like the early Golden Age. The defense of a Hoplite with 2 attack ...yeah.

Egyptians for me, the ultmate builders civ! Aztecs are my second chioce, if i feel like roasting the neighbours
