In the spirit of the "Who do you kill first?" question what color do you like to play. Generally I play green (Japanese) and for a change from time to time I will play blue (Vikings). What about the rest of you?

I have always enjoyed playing as the Germans, although i do modify some of the city names to make them correct. So I guess i am partial to the dark blue, even though they hold no real advantage, unlike the slight advantage the white civ gets.

Cyan - Americans or Chinese.
The reason for this is that cyan nations get more starting techs than others, according to Scouse Gits research. Now, the Americans or Chinese are the only two civilized cyan nations. Civilized nations get alphabet more often as a starting tech than others. Alphabet is needed for monarchy.

I don't have a favourite colour to play, but I only ever play one of the same 4 Civs - Celts, Americans, Carthaginians or Souix.
I've never played as a yellow, green or blue Civ.

I used to always play as the americans. For something new I'm trying to win with each civ once just for the heck of it. I've still got a few to go.

All civs are great.
I never play with one of them twice in a row.
BTW have you tried the scenario called Rome that goes with the game (at least with mine)?
The 7 civs start with the corresponding "historical" WoW's. No other WoW is then available. Hence, no premade strategy works. You must do your best with what the civ you have chosen has got. IMO good training and great fun.

Bohlen.... Yes the hat is great!!!!! However everyone who knows me thinks i am a freak  Oh well. This is one of the reasons i wish to get into a diplogame. I feel this would further enhance my roll playing. I wrote a story based on one of my civ 2 games, about 65 pages or so. I had spent the last month or so on it. I have been quite sick and taken some time off work. However, the game became no fun as it was against the lowly ai and i soon had him under wraps. Not too mention, it was tedious. However , i would take notes in a diplogame to make the story telling better. Anyways back to the hat, for me it's perfect based on the tribe i choose. I am sure you could put on a robe if you play as the Romans 
I agree with the starting tech stuff. However i try to simulate my ai games as i would against humans and this is why i play without tech. Besides if a civ is close by, it just means they will perish quicker.
Rah, i agree. If you lose one of your first five cities, you can really be in a heap of trouble. However that said, i seem to remember a certain ferret, who despite his poor start was reasonably close to me by sessions end There is no doubt in my mind that you are the most resourcefull and crafty of all the civvers i have played. I generally learn something from playing you each time, such as , don't count your chickens before they have hatched

As I mentioned above, I do like to play as the Aztecs. And I must confess that I do end up pronouncing about half of their cities as "Kaopectate".

Laughing out loud, kcbob! Given the large number of cities that begin with T's and contain h's, and l's, I always end up calling all of their cities "Tallahassee." Except, of course, for "Texaco."

That's why I NEVER play the Aztecs.
I like cities with distinct names, so I can find them easily!

For purly cosmetic reasons, I always play Yellow. I find that it is much easier to see than any other color on any zoom. I would like to be red though. I modified the rules.txt so my custom civ replaces the Aztecs. Montezuma wasn't exactly remembered as a great empire builder, and those names are a jaw-cracker.
I agree with the French general about the rome.scn, it is a good fight. I change the parameters of the scenario though.
I only play SP and I have started tweaking all games at 4000 an make a .scn , removing the goody boxes and equalizing terrain so enemy doesn't have retarded growth starting in horrible spot.
Man this game is FUN.

They just always seem to give me a hard time.
, wherever he's!!! It's a kind of motivation to start the game...I usually allow a french city to survive (paris, if there's no wonder in it) and when im reaching the end of the game, i launch a nuclear on it...i usually feel better after that....
