Looks like i have the lowest rank here, but i'll toss in my 2 cents anyway... As one can tell by my name here, India would be my top pick due to the cheap temples (culture rush), quick revolutions, a flexible unique unit, and the head start on the ever-valuable great library. If we survive long enough, we even get more money later in the game (in theory). After India, anything industrious (egypt or france specifically).

Alas, it looks as though Babylon, Egypt, or (gasp) the Iroquois may be our destined civ! Oh cruel world, end things now for me!

France is the best civ to play. Its all about trade in Civ3!

Random

I vote for Egypt. A really good civ!

I personally voted Egypt, since they're my favourites, even if their UU is somewhat useless if the game begins with a heap of jungle separating us from our enemies.

Barring them, I'd say China, Japan, or Germany (in order of preference), since I also like their trait combos, UUs, etc.

But I wouldn't mind Random. A bit of surprise won't hurt.

Go Japan.

Since random is gonna be defeated, I say Babylon - beautiful, beautiful Religion. Plus they were the first Civ I ever played in Civ (the original) and I have fond memories. Ahhh....

and plus, workers that take half the time to do jobs is an all around advantage, the road network is stronger, which means more resources/luxuries.

also, caputred workers still work twice as fast as normal captured ones, makign them a "regular" worker. great for a warmonger like myself

That's why I voted Persia

Anyone non-Commercial is good in my books.

Egypt all the way :
Industrious means we'll have a very good infrastructure right from the beginning. It means early Iron and early luxuries. Cheap temples will be extremely valuable to keep the territory we'll claim and enhance. We'll have a ultra high population and efficiency very soon !

France all da way! They are industrious so production and infrastructure is good. They are also commercial so u gets more trade and more trade means more units and better scientific research. You get more trade and more production and less corruption, what more can you ask? Culture crap is overrated, who cares how many temples you got when my tank is next to your cities defended by a few spearmen?

Of course, it is fun to play random civ, but if we want to be serious I would recommend Russians. Scientific: This will help us to be succesful in the tech-race (the state already noted). Expansionalist: It is very impotant to get access to as large territiory as we can, the larger country - the greater number of strategic resourses an luxeries.

Tarquinius · June 11, 2002, 10:37

At least every Civ has got at least one vote now. Thanks to Mtsislav, who gave one to Russia.
It looks like Egypt will win.
How long will this poll last anyway?

PLEASE!! We are a Democracy so Greece is the ONLY way to go. This games about fun not having the most powerhouse civ to play with, the greeks can actualy present us with a fun and challenging game.
