From the second What civilization would you pick-thread:
Originally posted by Sir Ralph
English --> Celts
French --> Vikings
Germans --> Germanic
Russians --> Slavs
Americans --> Tupi  (joking of course)
Also, I would add a few more African, Asian, native American civs (not nations) and of course the Aboriginals.

Interesting that people go for cultures or peoples more than nations or countries.
Isn't it very unaboriginal to develop a civilisation as a civ in civ3? It kind off goes against the grain. I always get the impression that the aboriginals didn't develop cities not so much because they didn't know how, but they just weren't interested. It was not 'their thing'.
After destroying the Australian forests they must have thought that this tech-malarky isn't for us.
In the parent thread I toyed with the idea of the aboriginals, but decided on the Maori because you don't see them much in popular culture.

I'm assuming you hit 'new thread' rather than 'new reply', but I'll answer anyway.
It wasn't part of Aboriginal culture to 'exploit' the land as most other cultures (ie: western) did. They lived off the land, but due to the fact that areas couldn't naturally support that many people for extended periods of time with that particular lifestyle, the Aborigines were forced to move around a bit, living off different areas at different times.
They did build buildings (not very complicated ones - they were designed to be abandoned quickly), but no cities.

The Germanics in their time didn't build cities either, nevertheless we're living in cities now .

If you want to go further back, because of either flooding or drought, the people of Asia constantly mirgrated west. I'm talking before the huns of course. Because you this, you get symbols that look alike (like the yin-yang and a simliar symbol found in some Irish works of art). So, basicly you'll have a civ game with one civ in essence.
But who would want to a play a game like that?
