	Civ Choice Final: Poll by Paws and Points Put an end to popups!

Please post your top 3 choices for Civ. Assign each choice a preference. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice. Each 1st choice pick awards the civ with 3 points, 2nd choice awards 2 points, and 3rd choice awards 1 point.

We will total the points after a day or two and use the point totals to determine in which order we choose civs.

These 6 finalist civs have been mentioned as favourable by at least 2 or 3 members of the team. No harm to include them. If you wish to vote strategically, you should keep in mind that Egypt, Iroquois and Persia were mentioned by more members than the other civs.

The finalists are:
America
Aztecs
China
Egypt
Iroquois
Persia

We have to remember that our first choice is not automatically ours. Another team may claim it and we may not win the rock, paper, scissors contest. Therefore, our second choice (and third) can be equally important to our first.

have at 'er. I will wait for a bit to post my choices.

Gah, I would have given both Iroquois and Egyptians 2.5 points if it was possible, they are really equally leading on my list, but heck, no need to come up with half points in this poll.

Difficult to make up my mind, but this is what I'm going for.
I started a game as Egypt on Monarch last night and kicked some ass with Industrious workers and War Chariots in the Ancient Age, that swung it for me.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Iroquois=3 (what's life without a little risk, and a possible good (offensive)counter for the celts)
Egypt=2 (well, there good to cats, so... )
China=1 (best civ in the game for me, but maybe not for this one )

Strange, that all the others ( except for maybe roleplay=Greeks?) are going for new civs, and we don't even have one in the play-offs

If we end up with Egypt can we PLEASE not be yellow colored??? PLEASE? I hate that yellow color, something cool like red or blue....

I just got so used to seeing yellow everywhere on the C3DG that I'd like a little variety....

I was thinking about that too! Very strange, I suppose we just go with what works, best for us eh?

On a side note I was playing as the Carthaginians and was forced into a VERY early Golden Age. So early that unfortunately it didn't do me a whole lot of good.... the Iroquois and Egyptians also have earlier Golden Ages, but significantly later in the ancient era than at the beginning like my game with the Carthaginians did....

who is Carthage now? the Builders or the Roleplay team?

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Me thinks NYE should have waited just a couple of more days to do this vote. He pretty much convinced all the 'older' players to go Iroquois, but not the newer ones

close race!!! , very close

(I just just started playing an Egypt game, to get used to them again, thinking it was all over )

I don't think I would be persuaded that easily, when I can't test it myself... which is also why nearly all of us go for the old civs. I'm sure the others are good too, but if you don't know them other then on paper, how could you choose them?

If this poll would be postponed a little, there is a chance however that extreme strat civs like the Aztecs or Zulu would get picked. The more I think on it, the better I like those Impis, those will rock in MP. Definately my first choice once I'll get PTW.

True, I even never considered the Zulu's.
But the last few days, reading some very solid comments on them, I'm beginning to change my view on them too.

The reason is of course that few would play them in SP, but this makes them so attractive: there are some very special strategies you can use that no-one has seen yet. Their just not effective against AI, but against humans... Just thinking of the possibilities makes my desire for PTW grow more

Oh, I'm going to find it for sure, if real life doesn't catch up with me, I'm going to spend quite a bit of time on it too. If I had known I would join a PTW team, I had the thing ordered in the States, but it's too late for that.

Is it only my guess that Poobie deliberately held off on the poll to 'make his vote count'?

It's not really as expected for me: I thought there were going to be more Iroquois votes, but most of the Iroquois people would take Egypt as their 2nd civ... thus meaning that in general Egypt would win.

Whoever wins, it will be just fine, this game is gonna rock
