What is your favorite civ in c3c

vmxa1 · January 18, 2004, 13:07

None yet.

The Templar · January 18, 2004, 13:45

The Germans are my overall favorite. The Babylonians are a close second - with religious and scientific - but the bowman (1) sucks, and (2) launches the GA to soon.

Panzers are a great UU on the other hand.

techbota · January 18, 2004, 14:18

I havent played long but I like the persians cause usually they get science fast and build like madmen.

techbota · January 18, 2004, 14:28

vmxa1 yopu dont have one that you play more than others????

ChrisiusMaximus · January 18, 2004, 16:21

Rome

techbota · January 18, 2004, 16:25

ODD so far we havent gotten one of the same 2. I would of thought there might be some more prefered than others.

vmxa1 · January 18, 2004, 16:27

Not in C3C. I have played (in the last 12 games) 1 sid at mayans, 3 demi mayan, china, forget the other (maybe US), 7 emp celts, persia, some others. Oh ottomans was one. I played a couple of Monarch starts at first for just one age or so. So used many civs. I was very fond of China before, but industrial got hit a bit. Many of the newest civs have such early UU. I like AG andd sea looks decent.

Now I have 1.15 so I need to toss out all the previous data.

Anyway I want to see what the trait act like in the new game.

techbota · January 18, 2004, 16:41

Is 1.15 a newer patch than the one on civ3? I thought that one was 1.12?

The Pioneer · January 18, 2004, 17:12

Gotta go with the Greeks on this one. I am a builder and stay shy of any aggresion. If I ever want to play aggresive though I always ud the Chinese.

So long...

CivIII 1.29f final
PTW 1.27F final
C3C 1.15 beta supercedes 1.13 which sups 1.12

I played one game as the arabs and it turned out very nice... mean of you not to include them

but I don´t think I have a favorite just yet... need to play aroúnd with some of the civs a bit more... so far I really like the dutch and the Iroquois though...

before c3c i always played Iroquois...

Jon Shafer · January 18, 2004, 19:18

The Celts, even though they're not on that list...

The Hack · January 18, 2004, 20:21

I like the Celts, even without iron. They always seem to get attacked early so if you don't have Iron you can time your golden age easier.

MrMismatch · January 19, 2004, 00:26

No Ottoman Empire? The industrious and scientific traits complement each other well, and Siphi are good into the modern era or at least untill you get tanks.

Jethro83 · January 19, 2004, 02:28

Japan has almost always been my favourite civ, and that hasn't changed in the slightest. Germany earns a second. But the Mayans and the Celts are strong contenders in my books.

Donegeal · January 19, 2004, 03:34

Voted Byzantine but could have gone with the Dutch just as easily.

The Byzantine Droman is just so uber powerful. It replaces the Galley in the Ancient age. As a seafaring civ, it moves 4. It has an attack of two as opposed to 1 making it the king of the seas until Astro. It works as a transport, just like the galley (two units). But one of the strongest points of a Droman gets skipped. It can bombard both land and sea units. Just think of them as defensable catapults. If you use them in a stack, you can take any coastal city you want. Declare war, move in next to a city, drop off your troops, bombard the hell out of the city, end turn. At the start of the next, blow up any remaining units to one HP then walk right in with your troops you dropped of last turn. How can it be stopped?

The dutch have a great trait combo. You get the Ag trait for rapid expansion and the Sea trait for early contact. Then, once your empire has grown, you throw in the Swiss Merc (a 4 defense Pike) and your empire is safe from aggressors.

MrWhereItsAt · January 19, 2004, 07:45

Yeah dude, you missed the 7 PtW civs, and the Sumerians + Austria from C3C.

techbota · January 19, 2004, 10:29

Well this stinks!!!

They only give you up to 24 choices. I only put the c3 and c3c so I will have to start another thread to get a accurate account.

Rhothaerill · January 19, 2004, 13:22

Well, even if another poll goes up my choice will be the same. I like the Iroquois with their quick agriculture-driven growth and their commercialism to allow for that larger, more productive empire. The UU is a powerful fast-mover that doesn't come ultra-early (unless you want it to) whose only downside is the need for horses.

Oh, and Rome would be my second choice most likely.

techbota · January 19, 2004, 13:41

I like rome as well but Persians to me get the science way faster. But as I am new I really dont have a sy so. I still think one got left out! If a mod sees this can he update this poll to add them. I think it might be Austria.

Byzantines rule! scientific + commercial!

Don't you mean scientific and seafaring?

Azeem · January 19, 2004, 16:04

I prefer China or Japan. Although they weakened "Industrious" a bit, it still gives a significant advantage to workers. Faster expansion of infrastructure is definately extremely important in the early game.
