Poll: Ultimate Choice: Incas or Gauls

[Mikhail]

Incas over Gauls

Mayans over Incas

Though, they should include the Cajuns over both. Who WOULDN'T want to be in charge of a Cajun World Order?

[Dinner]

Celts over Gauls.
Gauls over Incas.
Incas of Koreans.

[Thrawn05]

2 yes's? I'm confused now.

I voted Gauls... I want another civ to conqure as Rome.

[Zoid]

Gauls of course. What has the Inca ever achieved (besides Machu Pichu)?

The Celts built Stone Henge, where the first Europeans to use iron, built the first wide ranging trade network in Europe, developed the first important none mediteranean art work, developed there own written alphabet (Oghman ), were spread from the Black sea to Ireland with some settling as far away as eastern China, and were great warriors that influenced the development of the ancient world.

Yep, your right! They didn't do anything.

Gimme the Incs anyday.

Well, they only built an empire that was spread from the tip of SA to Middle America. This was built over a mountain range and still could pass messages across the entire empire in ten days. Machu Pichu is not the only Incan city in the clouds. They built farms on the edges of mountains - developing sophistacted techniques. They were so amazing that when the Spanish took over, the empire did not transfer. Cities fell apart and the Inca empire was lost for all time.

Surely the potato was spread all over South America? I always thought the spanish got the potato from the Azteks (along with cocoa beans)

Yes. Aztecs give the world (among other things) chocolate, tobacco and tomatoes.
Potatoes, some resistant cotton (Tanguis) and coke come from Incan south America. Of course they not use coke as a drug like today (cocaine), but as a medical supply to diminish the effects that lack of oxygen causes on the high mountains.

OK, I´ll give them that.

But really, this is all a question of PCness and market shares. I reckon Firaxis thinks that a SA civ would boost the sales of CivIII in SA.

In other words crass marketing...

Wow! ~87% pro Incas!
BTW poll will be closed 30.06.02

Incas. There needs to be a South American civ. I would have also liked to have seen another African Civ (such as Mali). Gauls would seem redundant. Why not have a Norman civ, or a Teuton Civ, or a Magyar Civ, etc. Would be a good choice for an ancient Europe scenario, or a good name for a Barbarian tribe.
