Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I never really grew out of the TBS way of playing games. For my purposes, I find the Chinese are a good nation. Their speed for creating citizens and merchants/caravans is good for micromanaging infrastructure, and the size of their cities usually means it's harder to successfully raid them, as they get a little breathing space to rustle up a defense force.
I have mostly played Egypt and I really really like them but I believe the Bantu are going to win out in the end. Why? Because the Bantu are strong early allowing a good defence to be developed and the huge end game army is very difficult to counter unless you've got the Colossus. The Colossus isn't that hard to destroy. In my current game I built the Colossus and have a 300 pop cap. That should be interesting later on...
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.
Of those three, only the Germans have any early game attack possibilities at all, due to their buffed heavy infantry. The British and Russkies lack any good economic boosters (or unique units) to make them worthwhile before ages 5-6, so you'll have to defend for circa four ages before being able to truely join the fun.

A long long time ago, when Apolyton forums' were in uBB (it's now vB[ulletin]), a spammer - uh... intensive user - called Stefu (long time no see mate, where are you?!?) created a poll where he filled the first 4 options with his ouw choices, and filled the rest (16 options in total) with "Banana".
Now, I don't quite remember if there was a bug in the forum or if he thought he had to fill all the options in the poll, but for some reason you had 12 "Banana" options for you to pick.
From then on, you just *HAVE TO* have a Banana pick as the last of your options, wich is quite handy actually, for those who don't have an oppinion in a certain subject but would like to know how the voting in a certain poll is evolving.
...and then for the trolls as well.
