The Klingons.

Oh, you mean civilizations that come with the game? I dunno. Whenever I go back to the original civilization files I kinda pick a different civ every time, just for variety.

Any of the Native Central/North American Cultures.

I love to see the Aztecs, Mayans, Native Americans, etc. grow, thrive and have the chance to conquer those cultures (economically, culturally and/or militarily) that wiped them out in real history. It's very satisfiying.

Yeah as I started to play this game I used guess ... the Germans, I had for CTP1 a costumized city list, too. It contained more then one hundret names just for the Germans, although these names might have not been accurate, but it was my city list. Since I have all these Pyramid city styles I prefer Civs with these style. Mayians, Incians, Egyptians...

The Germans. We Europeans have style, integrity and the technologically advantage on our side. Many civs (e.g. in South America) vanished. They didn't have the knowledge and the wisdom to survive. We have it.

Hola!

My newest Favorite Civ (in this game) are the Mayans, because of my recent Missions Trip to Honduras to build a Church for my Lord!

The Mayans, because of their close proximity to Honduran roots! The Mayans Capitoal is Copan, which is western Honduras area also!

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

In the past couple months, I've done a lot of studying of world history, and I've created 92 civilizations which I rotate in and out (I'm currently working on adding three more: Nez Perce, Ngadjonji and Maori). My current game has the following civilizations:

Anasazi (me)
Poles
Berbers
Etruscans
Cossacks
Carthaginians
Swedes
Burgundians

(*Wonders what futuristic cliff dwellings would look like*)

Just a historical note: the Mayans never had one city that could be called "their capital". They were never united politically, and often different Mayan city-states would go to war with each other. Copan was certainly a prominent city, but there were other cities of equal importance or greater importance such as Chichen Itza and Tikal. I guess you could say they were the "Greeks" of Meso-America.

Oow I've been working on a similar project for a long time, but I'm not nearly as far as you are. Mainly because I'm *very* strict when it comes to city names, I'm doing extensive reseach into almost every single name. Could you by any chance send me your lists of city names? I would absolutely to see them and use them for my own lists. I doubt I would copy any lists literally but it's much easier to edit existing lists than to create new ones from scratch... (Naturally I will credit you if I ever get around to releasing my own lists).

I am not where you ae in scenario making, however, when I edited the civ city list, WOW! thats a tedious time consuming mindwrenching task!
Its easy to say, "Oh, Ill go name a hundred cities" quite another to go do it and yet quite another to do it for all them civs!

I am impressed!

Go get 'em folks!

Glad to see some people still gutting it out with these files!

Suffering from ads?

Nah, making city lists isn't all that hard. A quick Google search will give you 100 names for almost any civ in no time. Making really good city lists on the other hand...

With some, it's easy to find city names, particularly if the civilization is a modern nation. In some cases it can be tough, particularly in the cases of aboriginal peoples (some native American, African and Australians tribes) and civilizations that are only known through archeological evidence (Anasazi, Hopewells, Harappans). It can also be hard to find a female leader name at times. Even with modern civlizations, some of them haven't advanced enough socially to have had a woman at in their highest office, such as the United States.

Hi folks,

Just a quick hello to say truly fantastic game and glad to be a part of the group.....need i have said that!! lol

Well my fav is hebrews because weve survived over 5500 yrs of almost continual attempted assault, domination, destruction by many of so called greats i.e romans,greeks,germans,etc BUT and were still around.... and will be around for some time to come

oh and btw the germans may well have been refined, educated and powerful once upon a time....but i for one dont agree on their methods....

Ah well thats all in the past....forward we strive...hopefully for the better of mankind!

Merry christmas folks (tho i dont celebrate it!)
