Which civs, if included, would you never use?

Miznia · May 9, 2002, 14:04

Yes, another poll!

Which civs would you not use (probably mod to be somebody else) if the XP includes them?

Miznia

Grrr · May 9, 2002, 15:20

Hebrew/Israel.

But more likely the one with a crap UU.

Cyclotron · May 9, 2002, 15:46

Any civ that's expansionist (sucks) or militaristic (sucks).

Adagio · May 9, 2002, 15:49

From this poll: Celts

Civs I don't play now: English

Other add-on possibilites to add I don't want to play: Scotland, Wales

...Seems like I don't want to play the UK, don't take it personal

Miznia · May 9, 2002, 16:13

18 votes and the most anyone got is 3 votes?! Are the voters clicking "vote" without checking anything?

I should've included a civ that no one could want, like Philadelphians or watermelons... Then we'd see what's really up...

dunk · May 9, 2002, 16:52

I will use all of them. It's silly to play the same game over and over.

Even the Philadelphians. I'll name all my cities after it's suburbs.

civman2000 · May 9, 2002, 17:31

I will NEVER use a carthaginian civ unless it has excellent CSAs and an incredible UU. PHOENICIANS NOT CARTHAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

asleepathewheel · May 9, 2002, 17:35

Really depends on the civ's traits and the uu. I tend to not play scientific or commerical civs, mostly religious and militaristic (and expan. w/ iriq's)

Carver · May 9, 2002, 17:43

I will play all of them at least a couple times. I did vote for (or against) one civ however due to their present policies of ethnic oppression.

Nikolai · May 9, 2002, 17:48

I don't know, I need to know the traits of the civ(s) first. Most possible a civ that don't suit my peaceful(untill the tanks that is!

) empire building!

oh puh-leez.

Joe R. Golowka · May 9, 2002, 17:52

None of the above. I'd try all the civs out before rejecting them.

Zoid · May 9, 2002, 18:05

Sioux, Hebrews, Canadians, Khmer, Ethiopians, Nubians, Dutch, Polynesians and Koreans. Pretty uninteresting civs all of them when you can play Vikings (Röde Orm) or Celts (Slaine)

Mikhail · May 9, 2002, 19:00

Only civ on there that I absolutely, positively, would not play as, are the Canadians. It's amusing how there are people who'd support Canadians AND English, but not Byzantines, a distinct culture, since Rome is included.

Thankfully, there's approximately a 0 percent chance of them being included.

I wish they would be included though. It would give me a civ I could mod into Byzantium without regret.

Cut the Polynesians some slack!

notyoueither · May 9, 2002, 19:16

Can't see myself ever playing the Khmer, the Ethiopians, or the Polynesians.

Oerdin · May 9, 2002, 21:30

Wouldn't it really depend on what UU and special abilities each civ has?

Grrr · May 10, 2002, 00:39

Of course it depends on the UU, but we don't know any of that as of yet.

Spiffor · May 10, 2002, 00:56

I'm sure not to play with the Hebrews, the Canadians, the Dutch, the Nubians. Also, Carthaginians and Sioux don't interest me at all (but I highly doubt there will be Sioux, since the Iroquois are here to represent all north american natives).

Tiberius · May 10, 2002, 01:37

I voted Koreans and Polynesians, but I also don't play with the Russians or the Zulu.

Some tools to design our own custom civ would be one of the best things to include in PTW.

Der PH · May 10, 2002, 09:24

What would be the UU of the Canadians?
The Mounty?

I think the Monty Python Lumberjack would be more appropriate.

ACooper · May 10, 2002, 14:13

I doubt I would ever play the Canadians. After all they are the 51 state anyway.

mingmyling · May 10, 2002, 16:34

I refuse to play cowardly civilizations like koreans, germans, israelis, french, canadians etc.

The ethiopians are always hungry...foget them.

I don't trust the Arabs.

Give me the USA, Romans, or Greeks...good, smart, hardworking people..remainder are pond scum.

mingmyling · May 10, 2002, 16:36

By the way..what is a Nubian?...shouldn't that be censored?...Isn't that the part of the female anatomy that is not polite to speak about?

Will not play Nubian unless it is my wife's!!

Grrr · May 10, 2002, 16:52

The ethipiopians would be a good civ to play, because the other civs are always sympahtetic.

Guynemer · May 10, 2002, 18:35

D-L! D-L! Deeeeeeee Elllllllllllllllll!!!

Anyway, I probably wouldn't play as the Canadians. As much as I love Canada, it would just be silly to have a Canadian civ... maybe in another hundred years or so, but right now, no way. I'd only play 'em for the comedy value... plus, Pierre Trudeau got some pretty nice action back in the day.

Probably wouldn't play as the Dutch either... just another boring Euro civ.

Proboly a hockey player.

I can't see myself playing Canada, although I can see myself teaching them that ham isn't bacon with a army of tanks

notyoueither · May 10, 2002, 19:54

We know what bacon and ham are. It's the stoopid [insert country name here] that call it Canadian back bacon.

As for the rest of you... You're on the List. Heh heh, eh.

TheBigTurkey · May 10, 2002, 20:15

Let's go Canada! Make sure to add the French-Canadians too. I'll make sure to play them, and screw them over for a good laugh. But, on a serious note, Celts, Vikings, Sioux, Hebrews, Canadians, Khmer, Dutch, and Polynesians shouldn't be included, because they are RELATIVELY unimportant for the world. Peace out.
