the celts are pretty high on the list already. i'm sparing my votes to help the civs further down. |
I don't agree with this. Firaxis is by no means forced to use this list to choose the expansion-pack civs, (if there will be any  ) and if they do use this list, they might only take the first five or the first eight. I thought Locutus just took the number of 16 civs, because that would double the civs in the game. (Please correct me if I iam wrong  )
My point is that removing votes from high placed civs, may let them drop a place. For example, if people remove a total of 30 points from the Phoenicians and the Celts are getting 25 extra points, the Celts will become 8th, Phoenicians 9th (provided that other civs' points won't change too much).
If Firaxis decides to use the top 8 civs of the list in the pack, the Phoenicians won't be in. If you want a civ to be in the pack,you shouldn't remove votes from it, not even if it's very high on the list.

Locutus,
to the absolute majority of your text you're right about "smaller" but important civs. After all this is a fun game, not a political statement of some kind. That is why there should be civs that though don't "cut it" as such like Byzantines( mostly Roman and Greek) or Mongol(indeed a barbaric gothering of various sub-tribes, same for Huns) are tremendously fun to play(thing of their special units).Siam is a very important civ for Asia.Korea even more so.Aborigines are truly important since they are the representatives of a continent.They wouldn't stand a chance after the middle ages but this is a game about what "could" have been, not what is already established as history. If else, you should only have Europeans,US americans, Japanese and chinese as civs.Zimbabwe had a huge civ in Africa from my knowledge.Spanish civ was grand for many,many years.Ottoman(and Seljuk) Turks would be a good addition(though I didn't vote for them since like many in balkans,I know what Janissaries mean[I can't think what the Evil Empire was thinking when putting them to AoE 2]).They did barbaric acts, but so did the Mongols.This is not a peacefull game.I hope that all the people(I don't belive it's the same person with aliases) voting for the Polish are not here only for a single vote.It is their right to join only for it, but I can't understand how can one care enough for a game to vote for a possible expansion, yet not give their input in a range of other matters related to the game.Unless they are not going to buy it,and in this case they are hurting myself with intention to buy it.I don't have anything against the Poles as people and I certainly don't want to offend them in any way, but their historical role is rather unclear to me  .(Goes to find shelter before angry Poles respond to Post ).
Again, this was not to offend or flame anyone.For the first,if i did, I apologise, for the second notify me and I'll edit accordingly.
Edited after a part of my text probably offended Kolobos.Sorry friend! I sure didn't want it to sound the way it did! Anyway it's gone now.
