Which new PTW civ do you plan to play your first game as?

monkspider · October 9, 2002, 14:32

See topic, my vote is for Carthage. They have always been my favorite civ in any civ game. Plus their Numidian Merc seems like an interesting and well-named unit.

Jon Miller · October 9, 2002, 15:03

I like the idea of early marines (Vikings have right?)

we will see if it is as nice as I think it would be (it would be on a water world of course)

Hmm...hard to say. Probably Vikings or Koreans.

Amadan · October 9, 2002, 16:43

Bananna Republic - I prefer purely random games.
But the Celts sound fun!

FrustratedPoet · October 9, 2002, 17:19

The Celts I suppose. I don't know why, they just seem cool to me and their UU sounds cool. I'll try them all out pretty quickly, though.

N. Machiavelli · October 9, 2002, 17:32

I know that the Celtic UU is going to give me alot of fun for a while.

Inverse Icarus · October 9, 2002, 17:42

vikings. already decided

Kingof the Apes · October 9, 2002, 18:20

Vikings, definately. Then Celts, and maybe Carthage. Ooh! and Mongols!

I'm going to play a game with expansion civs only(as Vikings)

Cidifer · October 9, 2002, 18:27

I'm going with the celts but before even viewing hte results or reading what people write I'm going to guess it's going to be close between Celts and Vikings and maybe the mongols or something. I loike the celts because I don't usually use a navy until later in the game and that means the amphibious assault of the viking guy doesn't help me, and I don't actually use longbow men much although maybe with them I will.

asleepathewheel · October 9, 2002, 18:44

celts. that unit sounds sweet.

You're only saying that 'cuz you named it.

Carver · October 9, 2002, 19:04

Vikings. That early marine is a huge advantage. Taking cities from the sea before the advent of rails and instant counter attacks is rather handy.

Traelin · October 11, 2002, 14:51

Hrm either Spain or the Mongols, I'm not sure which yet. Since I haven't tried a Mil/Exp Civ, it'll probably be the Mongols though.

Pingu: · October 11, 2002, 16:00

Spain, I'd say... the conquestador's movement abilities will be amazing, no matter where you are. Very interesting stuff

Iron Chancellor · October 12, 2002, 12:43

Celts first, then Spanish
First to kick Roman butt, then, to "conquistador" the Aztec warriors.

Can't vote in this poll

I'll play random as i always do.

Jaybe · October 12, 2002, 15:29

Banana! Actually, since you didn't provide the option: RANDOM.
It's all part of the variety, just as with random maps.

MoonWolf · October 12, 2002, 18:23

Vikings! No doubt on that! However, I think their culture will suffer

Maybe, but I'm hoping we'll get a leg shot of Isabella, so I don't want to play them.

aahz_capone · October 12, 2002, 22:44

SPAIN!

I will cross millions of miles with my armies before you even know millions of miles existed! I will lead them to the ends of the earth and then ravage worlds!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!

jdd2007 · October 12, 2002, 22:52

im not sure, but the mongols look pretty cool

Mr. President · October 13, 2002, 00:28

Viva Espana!

Adagio · October 13, 2002, 05:32

There's no doubt about this one. I always play as random...so where is that option???

Though I also know, if the random civ ends up being Celts (or as the changes now: English), I'll restart the game...

KaiserIsak · October 13, 2002, 10:40

No doubt, the ottomans.

Sheik · October 13, 2002, 12:28

Probably Mongols. However I am not all that thrilled with the new civs and will probably continue to play as Japan or Isreal (which I added to the game).

RANDOM

Thats a good idea. Maybe I will try that.

Andemagne · October 13, 2002, 19:33

I doubt I change from Greeks, but if I have to bick one from those new one's it'll be the Vickings.

History Guy · October 13, 2002, 22:22

Well, the Celts. I'm too Celtic not to play the Celts...besides, Brennus looks neat. What more can I say?

I myself am pretty happy with the choices for the game (heck, these civs are neater than the originals, except the blasted Arabs, that is).

However, in my second game I'll be playing the Vikings...there is no doubt of that...

bartdanr · October 15, 2002, 00:04

Spain, of course...I only wish that there were more indiginous nations in the New World...we need the Inca, Tewa, Apache, Navajo, Hopi & more First Americans nations in order to make any kind of Colonization-era game interesting. I mean, it would be a little bizarre to have Spain crossing the Atlanic in 1492 to conquer...The United States??

Of course, it's up to the moding community to come up with these other nations. The tough part is the UU and the leader portraits.

Who did you make the leader, what's their traits, etc.?

Dis · October 15, 2002, 02:17

Aztecs of course

I haven't researched what new civs they are. So I have to stay with the tried and true.
