Thank you very much I shall give it a spin at the weekend

[Panag]

hi ,

the US of A , thanks to its unique traits , ......

have a nice day

[dexters]

I'll go with the civ i've played the most games with. America.

But Carthage is catching up, since I'm playing almost exclusively with them currently.

[Yahweh Sabaoth]

I notice China is in the lead! I'd have to "give props" to Carthage as well. I've been playing as them recently, and I'm about to dominate the world. Hopefully, I won't dominate the world too soon, and will have time to build up my totally neglected culture, and thus achieve a higher score than America, which has yielded me my highest score yet.

Carthage and America: great conquerer civs! Though it isn't implicit in their traits. Two of my favorites thus far, that's for sure, though I sure hope Carthage is "downgraded" in C3C. They didn't kick that much rear in real life!

[dexters]

I think Carthage's relatively poor performance in this poll is due to the fact that people can't vote for more than one! :/

Darn it. I like Hannibal's portrait too. He's only freaky when you finally see his bald head.

[ZargonX]

Carthage all the way! Though they don't seem to be doing so well in the polls...

[Arrian]

Carthage (2 votes) is probably losing votes to France (5 votes), as they have the same trait combo.

Civs like Egypt & China, which are the only examples of their trait combos, probably have a better chance of winning.

Carthage UU is far better than the Musketeers too :/

[Yahweh Sabaoth]

Whoa! Egypt just edged out China!

Someone must not know how to use their riders!

(or must always play with cultural linking off!)

[Dominae]

I would guess that most people that frequent these boards play with cultural linking off.

Egypt is above China in my book.

Since we're voting favorite, and not neccessarily BEST, I will have to say the Vikings.

I just have so much fun pillaging shores with the berserk.

After them, I would have to say Rome and China are my next favorites.

Oh, no doubt there. Egypt has the makings of a fine civ. I generally play with it on, though, and Egypt doesn't rock quite as hard when it's surrounded by Numidian Mercanaries, Hoplites and Legionaries.

[Dominae]

Ah, but those are three non-Religious civs.

I do play with linking off when I play Egypt. I play with it off most of the time, actually, but sometimes leave it on if playing an Asian or European civ. The "classical" civgroup is just flat out nasty, though. Legionaries, Numidians, Hoplites and War Chariots... that's vicious. Imagine if Persia was in that one

The War Chariot suffers quite a bit when put up against civs with 3-defense units. You essentially have to plan on waiting for a large knight upgrade (not that I don't do that sometimes with Egypt anyway).
