I prefer playing with european or ancient Civs, even they are not the best choise. If I had to go for MP or hunting the highscore, I would prefer playing other Civs with good characteristics. All in one Egypt seems to be my favorite Civ - it's "ancient" and ind+rel.!

How can you say no to the almighty kraut!!
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

I must say the Chinese, for three reasons:
1. Militaristic and industrious. Die, neighbors!
2. They tend to start on GREAT LAND. I play huge + continents, 4 billion years, and man, the Chinese often seem to start with some of the best possible land, fertile and productive. Of course, sometimes they start on a piece of tundra or in the middle of a desert, but all Civs do that.
3. The RIDER!!! It comes at the time when I personally am ready to conquer 2-4 Civs (15-30 cities or so), and it's relatively unbeatable as a "knight" unit.
On the other hand, the Aztecs are the only Militaristic, Religious, and de-facto Expanionist Civ, so if you gamble big in the beginning of the game and can deal with no golden age later, they're definitely up there...
The Civilization which SEEMS the best but is always UTTERLY WORTHLESS are, of course, the Babylonians. You'd think Scientific and Religious would breeze an intelligent player to victory... so why are they ALWAYS BEHIND their rivals in terms of science and culture? Arrrgh...

1. Germany- Kick in the pants to research; and late offensive UU plays well into my build-build-build-SWARM warfare tactic. Nothin' says lovin' like Elite Panzers in the oven!
2. China- Ditto, save for the science. Beat the advancements outta your foes in the Middle Ages.
3. Rome- See above; except you do it in the Ancient Age.
I guess it all comes down to when I feel like fighting- early, late or in the middle of the game.------------------------------------

Deutschland.. but the vikings where my favourite...Comment

My first ever win was with the Indians, but my favorite civ has to be the Aztecs. It's to easy to run an early slaughterhouse with those Jags.
My favorite PTW civ is the Ottomans. My Sipahis will crush all of you.

Babylon is easiest for me to play.
So far it is the only civ I can win with on Monarch (small map), thanks to those Babylonian Bowmen. I love that religious trait, scientific is good but I would gladly trade that for industrious. That would make it Egypt but if I played Egypt I would miss out on the Bowmen so that rules out Egypt. I am in the middle of a monarch game in which I switched Babylons' scientific trait for industrious and it is going unexpectedly well.
All that said England is my favourite (Anglo-centric bias
) but it is probably the weakest civ in the game. I always play England at Warlord and sometimes at Regent.

Man, but on a HUGE world with all the others Civs, despite their highly desirable traits and good ancient UU, the Babs always seem to go the way of the... well... Babylonians... i.e., EXTINCTION at the hands of a larger, more agressive empire!
Or maybe I just play the game wrong...

What would you need for a Military Alliance vs. the Indians?Comment

Try playing on a map without a single trace of iron and see how cool is the Samurai

Doesn't the Samurai REQUIRE iron?

i still love the romansDEVM SVM
I cant think of anything else intelligent...except, check out my alternate history page:

Any civ that has commercial, industrious or religious as their two traits. France gets the vote due to the best special unit of those shortlisted.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Man, I gotta say, it better be industrious, or else...
Those Ottomans are hard to beat! The Chinese, too.
I'm playing a game as the Egyptians right now, and the only ones who are giving me a real run for the money are two other industrious civs: The French and Carthaginians.
What's with the Greeks, though? Why do they always get to be so powerful, yet they always seem to difficult to play as? Maybe I just don't "get it" yet...You can't fight in here! This is the WAR room!Comment

I dunno, I like china alot, the GA is perfect for all those middle age wonders, the knight rules on the offensive, and musketmen are a ways off. Industrial means for better infastructure, as well as being able to utilize your new land, making for more wars.
I may try egpt, I originally thought religious was pretty crappy, however, by all the comments on it I think I will try it. Theoretically, cheaper temples(big bonus?) and one turn anarchy(out of 4 or 5?) didn't sound that great.Comment
