The Perfect Civ List

[South killer]

i think the civs playable on civ 3 are very bad chosen (like the iroquis ). I think a game like civ3 should have civs that represent all cultures of all places of the world. So, anyway, here's the list:

America:
-USA
-Aztec
-Inca
-Brasil
-Argentina or Mexico(or both-- we need a spanish-speaking latinamerican civ)
Europe:
-Spain
-France
-England
-Germany
-Roman
-Greek
-Russian
Middle East:
-Turkey
-Persian
-Arabian
Africa:
-Egypt
-Zulus or Zimbabwe
Asia:
-Chinese
-Japanese
Oceania:
-Polynesian

That'll make 20 civs. What do you think of the list?

So, nothing north of the Rio Grand rates?

I guess you just don't know that much about it.

What's wrong with the Iroquois, anyway?

Isn't the US north of the Rio Grande?

[Mad Bomber]

What about Canada, Sioux, Cheyanne, Cherokee, Iroqouis, Pueblo, Apachee, Numidia, Austrailia, New Zealand, Byzantines.

Who exactly are the polynesians? are they one race/ nation and what type of culture do they have?

Yes it it. I guess notyoueither's statement should have been "So, nothing north of the Rio Grand before 1790 rates".
I agree with those that think this continent needs some civs in addition to the US.

[Centauri18]

One or two, maybe. It is already sort of crowded with the Iroquois, the U.S. and the Aztecs. You could add the Sioux or something.

[bongo]

A bit few asian civs as well. Forgetting the mongols is almost a crime. You should also add the indians.

[The Mad Monk]

The United States and Canada are extensions of English culture with significant chunks of French and German cultures mixed in for good measure. Mexico et al are extensions of Spanish culture.

Remove them or leave them out.

[The Mad Monk]

For 'American' cultures, I'd add Caribs, Pueblos, Mayans, and maybe Cherokees and / or Navahos.

[Flandrien1]

A list like this will always be arbitrary.

You could add some Eastern European countries (f.e. Poland).
You could add some African tribes (f.e. Berbers, Bantu, ...)


What could be more interesting is what criteria did you use to make this list.

[Centauri18]

There are a lot of threads devoted to the subject of which civs are needed for the next game and/or XP, so maybe we ought to leave it to those threads.

I think they weren't that important for be included as a civilization. On civ3 they could have included the incas instead of the iroquis. However, don't get mad at me. It's just my opinion.
I totally forgot the indians, yes, we should add them to the list. and perhaps 1 more european civ.

The United States and Canada are extensions of English culture with significant chunks of French and German cultures mixed in for good measure. Mexico et al are extensions of Spanish culture. Remove them of leave them out.

In my point of view, either all the most important english and spanish extensions are included or none of them is included. If americans are in, other important spanish and english extensions deserve to be in (australia, mexico, argentina,etc.)

Edit: I also would like to see tibetans

[Manya]

South Killer you want a spanish speaking civ....

URUGUAY

[MrWhereItsAt]

To make the grade as a Civlization, a culture must have made a lasting impression on the world.

Speaking as a Kiwi currently living in Australia, neither of these two countries is worthy of this title. Incas? Yeah, I would support them as a civ.

But can't you, with the PtW editor, make your own civs with your own attributes? I know you can't add UUs (THAT would be cool...), but surely if you want something changed you can change it.
