Romans Militaristic & Commercial
Greeks Commercial & Scientific
Germans Militaristic & Scientific
Chinese Militaristic & Industrious
Japanese Militaristic & Religious
Indians Commercial & Religious
Aztecs Militaristic & Religious
Iroquois Expansionist & Religious
Egyptians Religious & Industrious
Babylonians Scientific & Religious
Russians Expansionist & Scientific
Americans Expansionist & Industrious
French Commercial & Industrious
Persians Industrious & Scientific
Zulus Militaristic & Expansionist
English Commercial & Expansionist

I chose Persians because their abilities sound the best. Of course, without knowing the details of each ability statistically, no-one knows which ones are the best for sure. My second choice would probably be the French, also because of their abilities.

And yes, this is the most updated list.

Part of the appeal for me is exploring the map. The world map spoils this aspect.

French, because Commercial-Industrious sounds like a pretty good combination for my style of playing Civ, and because everybody is always picking on them

The almighty Aztecs! Not at all because of their abilities (in fact their abilities probably conflict most of all with my gaming style) but because of a love for their history and culture.

The French are in the lead?

Wasn't there a thread not too long ago in which we voiced our concerns over their overwhelming pinkness and its potential consequences to gameplay?

Despite my Russian pseudonym...

Will go with my ancestors, the Germans. Most likely, however, I will be creating custom civs to play the game.

I'm going to rename the Greeks and create the mighty Chrisonian Republic. Then I'll put their starting position near Byzantium (where else could Christantinople go?). So I suppose I should vote "Greeks".

Greeks, of course. First, though, I'd find a 256x256 world map on the Internet, then use that. Should be fun.

The Persians.

I am a perfectionist, you see (IOW, I like to create perfect patterns of cities with maximum terrain improvements around them) and besides I like to be scientifically ahead of other civs, so Sci/Ind fits really good to me. And if some other idiots dare to disturb my perfectionism, the Immortal's extra attack will come handy
