Favorite Tribe to play as...

[OrangeSfwr]

Simple poll: What's your favorite tribe to play as in Civ. Don't take it as your favorite position on the Earth map, but just the tribe you play as most.

1) Greek
2) French
3) Roman

[Empress]

I always play as Goddess Empress and my favorite civs are as follows:

1) Viking
2) Indian

(purple is my favorite colour, but I like looking at the dark blue)

[Comrade Dan]

well, if it was on real maps, I would be either the English on the Europe map, or the Zulu's on the large world map, keeping their original locations.

Sometimes I play whatever tribe I feel like. One game has me playing as Chancellor Daniel von Anderson of the Germans.

I never play on the map of Earth. Too dull. I usually play the Celts, sometimes the Vikings.

In SMAC, I play as the University or the Consciousness, or on occassion the Gaians.

[wernazuma]

you may guess in my case as well.
if not playing aztecs I play my own created civs, the Mayas, Austrians or Chileans.

[OrangeSfwr]

Hey welcome wernazuma...new blood...er...faces are nice around here ::evil grin::

I also play as the Indians a lot...probably for the color purple...

Ok what are your favorite Earth starting points?

Mine are English and Chinese.

For some reason I often tend to use the Irish or the Welsh. Not really sure why to be honest...

Romans...Ceaser...just much simpler if you hold down the return key!

[Hasdrubal]

Apart from favourite civ's, I also have some favourite civ-groupings that I like.
I love playing with seven classic civs (Carthage, Rome, Greece, Egypt, etc.), or seven European ones (France, England, Russia, etc.). Or a modern, global one (USA, Japan, China, India, Germany, etc.) I'll even change the rules.txt to get a nice combination.

My favourite starting position on earth: If I want an easy one, I'll choose a civ from the America's - usually you'll have the whole two continents to your self. Maybe shared with one other civ. For an action-packed game, I'll play a centrally located civ like Babylon or Persia. The opponents will come from three sides.

I miss the ability of creating your own tribe in Civ 2. In Civ I played either the tribe Buffalos with the capital city named Horns or the tribe Kongs with me being King

In Civ 2 I usually play the Chinese or Russians.

[Dr.Oogkloot]

I try to play each game as a different civ, but my favourites (the ones I play as the most often) are:
1.Romans
2.Ukrainians
3.Incas
I like to play as some of the "smaller" civs such as Finnish, Belgians, Byelorussians, Norwegians, etc. My latest game was as Vlad Dracul of the Transsylvanians.

Worst Enemies:
1.Carthaginians
2.Celts
3.French

worst enemies: Zulus and Russians. Those civs always seem to backstab me!
