I say we should play with a combination of traits we never had before, for the sake of renewing the challenge.
Since we have played with the Egyptians (religious industrious), and with the Scandinavians (militaristic expansionist in PtW), the remaining traits are:
- scientific
- commercial
- seafaring
- agricultural

So, to me, the choice boils down to these Civs:
- Greece
- Korea
- Byzantium
- Sumeria
- England
- Iroquois
- Netherlands

As we'll play a pangaea map, we should as well forget the seafaring Civs. That's why I suggest we play Iroquois, so that we can take advantage of the pangaea, and have a huge yet productive landmass at our bidding. it will delight our feudal lords if we go the feudalism course, and it will bring the joy of a new trait to us all

The only drawback of the Iroquois is their early military Golden Age. Sadly, the only other Civ that has useful unused traits, and a medieval GA is Korea, with their bad UU.

England sounds like a good choice, and is awesome for roleplaying. They sucked up to PtW, but their new traits suit well.

Korea or England do sound nice.

For the moment however Korea works with its strange UU. Plus I have never played as them.

30. Incas please.

I like the 'new' trait of agricultural. Plus, expansionist will come in handy on the Pangea map.

Rome (or Greece, or England, or yes - Korea would be very interesting to play. I am with MWIA on this one.)

Let's go with England...although they fit horribly on a pangea with 60% water, but we will overcome that of course

I'd be happy with Japan, Korea, or England.

I'll go with England. Building Knights Templar would go well with the feudal theme. Crusaders from Japan or Korea just doesn't fit.

Hmmm, looks like a docpile on England, however if we each only get one vote, I believe I should vote for the Maya.

Why is everyone voting England with a Pangea map?

Lets go for at least an agricultural civ. Especially if we are going feudal.

Agriculture = quicker growth= the faster we can have our own feifdoms.

Industrious would even help the growth more hence the Mayans. And barb farming is fun, and produces slaves/ serfs. Perfect for Fuedal.

Think about this GF, Im being serious for once in my civ playing life

Tass: this is useless. Unless a Civ gets more than 50% of the votes, there will be a runoff. So, there's no need to care about "wasting" your vote. This will be a concern for the runoff.
(and if a Civ gets 50% at the first round, well, whatever other Civ you vote for won't change the outcome anyway)

Change it to Maya, that appears to be the choice with the best chance of competing with England.

Let's see England's traights would be the least useful on this map, and therefore the most challenging.

So I'm voting England
