Can I give you a cozy advice? Be the cozy Persians!
Then all the teams will just be cozy mediterrenian civs, right?
(Spain, Cartage, Greece, Persia, and one more I dunno)

Uh, but you find out in private ok...

We are waiting for the results of a pre-game PBEM game. Whichever civ wins that game is the civ we will pick.

Korea is winning.

We're playing a 16-Civ PBEM on a huge map. (15 GS members and an AI playing as Korea. The AI is kicking our ass.)

We won't pick our Civ until it's over and we have a winner.

You guys are just gonna have to wait.

Vikings are cool, but their UU is quite pricey (though it's powerful enough to deserve the extra expense).

As for other civs... you guys apparently REALLY like the scientific trait... interesting

Here's an interesting thing to note about favorite civ traits:

Legoland: Industrious
Gathering Storm: Scientific, apparently
Glory of War: Militaristic
Roleplay: Commercial
Lux Invicta: well, they picked out the Ottomans as their civ almost as soon as they formed... but that probably had more to do with the UU

This is rather interesting.

Maybe I missed a patch or something, but I was under the impression that you could ONLY have 8 players, AI or human, in ANY game... how do you guys have 16???

What's wrong with scientific? Spearmen from the start and 1 tech away from swords could be a very powerful asset in MP. Plus, with reduced tech trading the bonus techs are very welcome. As for the civ choice, we should indeed do this private. Let's stop all these nitpicking arguments and spam fights there and discuss stuff that really matters. We are a team, are we?

But hey... the leader of the Vikings looks really scary .

I have no problem with the scientific trait... it's one of my favorites (commericial is my favorite, but I like to take either scientific or religious with it).

I'm just noting that your team seems to have prioritized the scientific trait, while other teams have prioritized different traits. That's not to say that any team considers other traits necessarily less important or that the one trait is ESSENTIAL or anything, just that all or almost all of the civs they're looking at have that one trait... an interesting trend.

What's even more interesting is that each team has prioritized a different trait... I honestly didn't expect that. I had figured that everyone would likely think that one trait (likely Industrious) or perhaps 2 were far and above the best traits.

This information surprises me as well. Considering most here are either from the C3DG or the PBEM threads, there is much more variety here than I originally thought there would be....

I’m Egypt in the game, and I'm going to win... I don't care if I only have 4 cities. We will therefore be playing Egypt.

We really should have set the AI on Chieftain not Warlord... Particularly with them playing Korea, it's just too much. We never even stood a chance.

Interresting, Sir Ralph wants to become a Viking.
Vikings are militaristic in civ3 right?

I've heard so much false-info about my ancestors not being
civilized. This is completely wrong. Ok, they did alot killing.
Their bloodstained behaviour overseas could have looked a bit like that of Japan. But that was the kick they got overseas.


The Viking civilization had a suprisingly advanced culture at home.
It was never to become an empire with fortified borders and intricate foreign policy. There were some small kings or Jarls, ruling different regions, showing eachother muscles while preparing their mutual Longboat-navy and their mutual defense. Later, three countries were forged, and became Empire-like civs in the middle ages... Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
But there is no such thing as a "Viking Empire"


Vikings had developed polytheism, alphabet, navigation, etc. on their own. The ancient cultural traditions are still kept alive in some parts of Norway. - Such as blooding where they drink blood of animals, in a ritual. (bloting)
An such as my own firstname, after the Viking-God Thor.

Am taking your request up with the team, nbarclay. Closed would not be exactly the right term. Restricted would be better.

We have decided to put a limit on membership and to consider each person asking to join in turn. We will let you know ASAP, but it takes a couple of days.

Thank you. I'm sure all of that is correct, and it's quite interesting, but why post it? Were any of us saying that the Vikings were bloodthirsty and uncivilised?

Why get defensive when you're not being attacked?
