  • Most Used Civ

    I know that there have been polls like this before, but there have been a lot of new people here lately and I am curious to find out which Civ they prefer the most. Personally, I always use the Germans. I like their traits, I love the Panzer, and Bismarck is the best leaderhad IMO.

    I've been using the egyptians recently, although their UU isn't worth a damn and comes too early for my taste.
    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

      I love the Iriquois.

      I love the MW. helps quick, early warfare. strong for a long time.

      I love their characteristics. Religious- use as a crutch, don't know how I would live without it now. Expansionist-same, I play 256x maps, and this trait rules. Build a couple of scouts, send them out on auto, soon you will have all of the ancient techs and tons of gold and maybe even a free settler. You can meet your rivals quickly and plan out who to destroy with your MW's first. Granted, Expansionist loses its advantage 25% into the game, but that first quarter is the key to victory.

      I find myself addicted to these abilities and have a hard time switching. I want a guarenteed positive (or null) result from a hut. I don't want to worry about anarchy.

        I voted for the Chinese, but it was just a guess as I had used them for 3-4 games in a row recently. I jump around trying different things, so I do not have a favorite. I tend to avoid any with Expansion. Prefer Mil and Ind. Easiest win was with Romans, cranked out legions and snuffed all nearby civs very early (horses were scarces.

          I choose a different civ everytime. But i like the industrious, religious and militaristic traits more than the others.

                  The Persians. Immortals are great, and so are industrious workers and cheap libraries. Being half-Persian may influence that a bit.

                    Another poll that doesn't work...

                    I mostly play as the Germans. Got to love those Panzers.

                      Persians. An attack of 4 is insane in the whole first first and half ages and this will win the continent for you, and a defense 2 is still the best you can get for quite a long time (except Romans and Greeks). Speed, well, I guess you can't have everything.

                        Play as the Greeks here... I *love* the combo of scientific and commercial. The hoplite unit is really nothing more than a nice bonus.

                          I used to play Egyptians all the time, but now I'm starting to use the Romans more often. Its just so difficult to contend with their legions.

                          After the Romans I would say the Germans. Being able to build archers and spearmen right away really has its advantages, and the Panzer will win the game easily.
