The French because they once backstabbed me, while we had a ROP.

And the Moffen because they are way too aggressive.

The Persians are crushed in nearly every game I play (unless I am them ). Otherwise they become too powerful with their nifty unit and good civ traits.

The Romans OTOH are a civ I almost always try to "keep alive" till the end-game, usually unsuccessfully as they declare war on me while being attacked by other civs.

French should be on my hit-list more, but just aren't.

Why should cities end in vowels?

There's something inherently annoying about the french, but I just can't put my finger on it.

Babylonians. I hate them, but I also respect them because they have the annoying tendency to beat me culturally.

I'm surprised there aren't more sadistic leanings towards the Romans. If Spartacus were alive today he'd be sickened by all of you!!

You forgot the obvious one, which ever one is pissing me off the most at the moment. After that, the Iroquois which are even less of a civ than the Americans which I play, then the French just because they are French.

The comments next to the country names were hilarious. A great laugh is always appreciated.

We all know it's meant in jest. . .

BTW, I always enjoy clobbering any civ that thinks it's better than any civ I play

Thanks for support Leo.

I'm delighted to see that so many people here have a good sense of humor. It's either that or there really is an awfully high number of actual sadists who visit these fora.

Just as a rule, for life in general not just Civ, never turn your back on those evil krauts. They always start wars with me, and I always kick their ass. That is all that the krauts can do , start wars and then get their asses kicked.

England, Liz is such a pain in my white irish butt.

If I could, I would vote also for Babylon and Persians, only because they STILL cause trouble in the real world

Now here's a dude who knows the score. He sounds like a 1950's-era WWII movie.

Finally, a fellow Irishman has arrived! There aren't enough angry Irish dudes in the world anymore. Too many like me, with a strong aversion to alcohol....and that's a crummy way to live for a sadist!!

The agressive tribes: Germans, Zulus, Egiptians, Russians (if I'm not they ), Aztecs (if I'm not they ) and finally Americans with annoying gangsterism.

The irritating habits of many of my countrymen and women make me want to cut off the progression of the Americans further than the middle ages. Of course, I also like killing Zulus, Aztecs, Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Romans, Greeks, Russians, French, Iroquois, Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, English, Indians and of course my own people.

No. I just hang out at the post office all day, thinking about civ, and how I should rightfully be able to eliminate all of these poor excuses for humans because I rule the largest empire in the world. Just wait until the day I get tanks.

Can't beat up the French, they do not cause trouble.
Persia if not next to you, will usually fight someone else.
The Germans will talk you to death, but I never started a war with them, the others will do that.

I picked Persia, because they expand to much, and I think that Iraq, not Iran is Persia, at least that is what Saddam thinks.

Rome will always get mad if next to them and start a war, but when they put a city in my territory, (in a scenario i made), the heck with them.

The Americans expand to much, and usually are fighting someone else, but Lincoln is not that bad.

The Russians need a little humbling.

Japan needs a fix-up!

The Aztec is funny, but needs a few bounces.

Oh, well, fight them all!

Or, else, I just become a real good boot-licker, as the German leader would say.

Fight them all!

hehe...Saddam also thinks that Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and most assuredly, West Virginia are integral parts of Iraq. With the exception of West Virginia, I oppose all of the territorial claims that he's made.

An angry Irish dude with an aversion to alcohol, no wonder you're a sadist.

The best booty to kick all over the map is that of the English, a self-righteous, hypocritical, uptight, duplicttous, amoral lot in real life, who also cannot be trusted or ignored in Civ III. Not always easy to find all of her cities, but Elizabeth owes the world big time and pays in the games I play.
