A comical look at Civ3: the most dorky civs
The most dorky civ is definitely
1. Greece. They have the combination of both scientific (most dorky) and commercial (2nd most dorky.) In addition, they have a defensive UU and an old fogie who wears glasses for a leader. (Wasn't alexander supposed to be young when he led greece? )

2. Babylon. They have a dorky-looking leader, and the scientific trait. They also have a loser UU. When you put those together, they are pretty dorky.

3. India - They have a peace-loving leader who sometimes sneak attacks (ie everyone hates them.) Their UU looks like a cyclops and isn't very good, and they are religious (kinda dorky) and commercial (very dorky, liking money)

4. Russia. Although expansionist isn't dorky, the leader and the scientific trait are both very very dorky.

5. France - Although they have a young girl leader, they are industrious (hard workers with no social life) and commercial (rich money-obsessed banker type people.) In addition, their UU is dorky.

6. Persia - Although they have a good UU, they have the Industrious and Scientific traits. Pretty dorky.

7. Germany - They have a modern UU, and they are scientific. Plus they are aggressive, which sometimes is non-dorky, but in their case it makes them more hated. Plus Bismark looks like a fool.

8. England - They tend to suck, and they are commercial. And their UU is lame. And Lizzy takes too many milk baths.

9. America - Plane UU = very dorky, and Abe is dorky. Plus they are the somewhat dorky Industrious trait. And nobody likes them

10. Rome - Although they are militaristic which isn't dorky, they tend to suck and caeser never seems to know what he's doing. Plus they are commercial.

11. Iroquois - Although they are expansionist (make lots of friends early type people,) they are kinda too nature-loving.

12. Aztecs - Although their trait combo is not at all dorky, they are kinda weirdo cult-type guys.

13. China - Not very dorky, but Mao has funny clothes and people hate them.

14. Japan, the Zulu and the Egyptins all aren't dorky.

I look, I read, yet I see nothing of comedic value.

Are you trying to say that racism is sensible relatively speaking?

IMHO, you're dorky.

Well I dont care if it is racist or not (IMO you cant overcome differences until you can laugh at them). I think its funny.

I also see little humor.

I guess everyone is a dork.

And how is Shaka not a dork with that hat he wears in Medieval?

Lizzy really has an ugly white face

But all the other leaders don't look very funny.

I agree with Sean, there is nothing of comedic value here. Some attached screenshots with some more witty descriptions are in order here.
