	Most Favourite Civ? Increase the size of your Attachments

Strange nobody has started on this topic yet...
There were a lot of question like this in the Civ III forum.
My Favourite civ is Turkey,why?

33%cheaper citizens-Produce more citizens to jumpstart the economy.This is effective as you probably can have more citizens than your opponents

+3 range and +3 LOS-Deadly Siege units throughout the game.Wait till Information Age when you see the Rocket Artillery with 28 range!Rocket Artillery with 28 range is more powerful than late game's Leopard Tanks or Jaguar Assault Infantry

200% faster assimilation-Great bonus,capture city 3 times faster.Enemy's counter-attack capability reduced due to Attrition and you can gather your damaged units right at the City you have just attacked.No wasting time pulling your troops to heal them

2 siege units per factory-Very practical for siege rush as siege units are expensive.Just build additional Wagon and you can attack.Better bonus than Aztec's and Mongol's free units.It is recommended to build more than 2 factories to take full advantage

33%cheaper military research- Nice bonus,easier and faster to upgrade units

i like the chinese best. once you get used to instant civs, merchants and caravans, it's REALLY hard to do without. but in fact: i don't really have a favorite. all of them are easy to play and all of them have great advantages!

I don't have a favorite, I play as random... now where's that option

Current fav is the French, just because supply wagons heal units, and I'm too lazy to garrison them.

But I still haven't played all the civs yet, so I expect this will change.

love it , and why not combinations of 2 nations, and 3, and 4..... , and don't forget to include "None"
I bet if Denmark was a nation in RoN you wouldn't play RandoM (except if they had crap bonuses)

PS: just kidin' m8


As 4 my vote, I voted Nubian (I'm probably the only 1 who would vote for them), their wealth and merchants ROCK!!! And they have probably the best archer's!!!
Second choice would've been French, growing more and more fond of them, especially their Cav/supply wagons. Not to forget the speed/cost bonusses 4 siege, and their movement bonus!

Aaah crap, starting do regret my first choice..... , naah forget it, give me a n00bian any time

At present time I have one least favorite nation... if DK would become a nation, then that number would be doubled...

I also vote random. I guess I'm still discovering the game (playing random civ on random standard map with 3 random tough opponents), and it's fun to have to change play style according to the cards you are handed.

You said favorite civ, so I voted Mongols. Mounted troop discount + 50% attrition is like starting with a free Statue of Liberty. I get to a quick Military 2, build 3 Stables (which means 3 Horse Archers apiece), and cause some trouble. Also a good civ to hone your micro skills with, raiding and taking care of home at the same time.

	Put an end to popups!

I prefer the Egyptians. They get 7 farms and they produce wealth so you get a nice little bonus there. You don't always have to expand like mad into a non-practical part of the map just to get more cities/resources.
Along with building 2 wonders per city, and getting the oppertunity to build wonders one age earlier is a life saver. Basicly if your a competent Egyptian player, and you want a Wonder, you don't have much competition, you want it, you'll get it .

Disadvantage - no late game unique military units.

Russia + Kremlin = Unbelievable attrition

Russia is an enormously powerful nation for defense all through the game due to the attrition. Great deterrent of early rushes as well as late booms.

Oil bonus is nice too, so are the super-cheap spies. The increase in border size per age is very helpful too.

Fortunately they dont get the Statue, since you've been able to tech faster from your extra resources, having little need for a huge army, and from the extra borders giving you more land to gather resources from. You should be able to get the statue first if you're smart with the Russians.

Strange that nobody vote Aztec. They are great. Once you get yourself in a fight, it seems like you start to have unlimited resources. Very powerful civ.

I don't like the results of this poll... The nation leading this poll, is the nation I wouldn't even play if somebody pointed a gun at my head...

Wow... The Brits are making out like bandits so far, and the Aztecs (as previously mentioned) are ofers.

I would think Turks would be winning this poll...

But the Romans and Spanish are @0, not a surprise...

Romans all the way. Maybe I'm just a n00b who relys too much on their sweet, SWEET, UUs (heavy inf that counters heavy inf too), or maybe its because I like to mess with my opponents mind with spies and generals, and I do it with romans faster, or maybe it's because I rely too much on forts for defence. I love them.
