which ones do you notice you have to really watch out for most of the time? yeah, i know, all of them at some point, esp. higher levels of difficulty. i think iroqois, germans, zulus, sometimes, in a real sneaky way, that shriveled up old raisin - ghandi ("we should not trust ghandi. he is a known cheat and liar" - where else would you see that quote?).. jerxes is a real perverse wacko too. try to limit it to 3 - 5

I don't seem to run accross the Aztecs much but they seem the least stable to me. Catherine is pretty bad too but she usually gets herself killed off so its hard to be sure.
Liz and Tokagawa seem quite stable. They are always a pain. Even when I am at peace with Japan Tokagawa is furious with me.

Its gotta be the germans, they declare wa on you if you look at them sideways, even if you could whip them with one MA tied behind your backIf he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected - SunTzu

The Germans aren't erratic in that you know they are always gonna sneak attack youSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I have yet to see any civ shoot themselves in the foot more than the French. That Joan is a real nut case, one turn she is friend to the world and before you can say "Put the crack pipe down Joan!" she is at war with everyone and getting her booty kicked.

i got to go with the iroqois - can't remember how many times, esp. early, those freaks have gone from graciously allied and kidking my enemies butt at my request to furiously kicking my butt - at least initially. mounted warriors are viscious opponents early, which is when they seem most volitile. never trust them from a position of anything less than clear superiority."Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you." No they don't! They're just nerve stapled.

you know, that warm, fuzzy feeling of comradrey, like, "hey, these guys are really cool, solid folks. my buddies!" then, suddenly that lampshade wearing diplomatic advisor pops up, "treacherous iroqois have allied with evil whoever the freak i wqas allied with 'em against to destroy us!" "WHAT? Ijust gave those b@st@rds two techs and a luxury!!!!! Ooooooooh.....blood shall run!" (yeah, i know, wrong native american ethnic group, but fits my mood at the time!)"Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you." No they don't! They're just nerve stapled.

I have a longstanding love/hate relationship with India. For most of the game, they are my truest allies, always polite, excellent trading partners, and I can always count on them in war. Then late industrial hits and bam! they're using the ROP to sneak attack me every time. I've gotten so used to it that I make sure any units of theirs in my border at that period of time have "escorts".Rhett Monroe Chassereau

I've found the Iroquois to be the most erratic. In one game they can be pretty passive, and in another they can be so nutty they kill themselves off. If we were taking a vote on the most warmongerish civs, I'd have to say the Germans are consistent winners.

Most erratic... hmm. That knocks out the predictable nasties (Bismarck, Shaka, Caesar, Monty)
Hammurabi is shockingly aggressive in the ancient age, after which he seems to calm down (or take his "medicine" - aka my samurai).
Elizabeth is a backstabbing wench. But this no longer surprises me.
Joan is similar, but tends to play nice for a long time before sneak attacking out of the blue.
I have encountered a nasty, warmongering, psychotic Ghandi... which is bizarre enough to win 1st prize. I vote India.
