Question for any Civilization V players . . .

[Rez09]

Do you enjoy playing the civilization you are, or is the closest to where you are, actually from?

[Pike]

Can I answer if I am a Civilization IV player? :p

I choose who I want to play depending on leader traits and special units and how I feel like playing at the time. Damn the Dutch are overpowered. So is at least one of the Brits (Lizzy maybe? It's been far too long since I've played.)

[Madame Adequate]

Don't really care one way or the other, but in V I tend to use the modded Robotnik or Nazca empires because they're cool as heck.

[AssassinDX]

I'm not going to bother answering now I know about that Robotnik Empire, I'll be using that from now on.

I base my Civ choices on their perks moreso than where I am in relation to them. Coincidentally I don't mind playing as Polynesia, but they aren't my favourite. Persia is probably my favourite. I also like Egypt, depending on the approach I'm taking. I recently acquired the Brave New World expansion and I've been working my way through those Civs to see which I like the styles of.

[Spuuky]

I play random every game.

[Rez09]

I play random in multiplayer most of the time -- it's always interesting to see who I'll roll.

I actually have Civ IV installed but haven't gotten around to playing it at all. I probably should at some point, as FDR is playable and he's probably the president I'd want to play as the most next to Andrew Jackson. :D

Polynesia is actually one of my favorite civs, as they are really unique, but I generally feel they are a bit on the weak side in multiplayer -- Egypt, however, is awesome no matter where I play them. >: D

Have you run into any civs in BNW so far you are really liking?

[Miss Mae]

Poland is pretty rad with its additional social policies - helped me get a really strong start. I enjoyed the new type of culture win, so Brazil was nice for that. Played very combat-focused when I played as the Zulus and that went well for me. :jess:

[Rez09]

Poland is super beast mode; I really love those Ducal Stables and UA. :D

Did you see the changes made to some of the older civs in the expansion? France and Germany got some spiffy new stuff that made them a lot more interesting.

[escobert]

I do like the Americans and English but I prefer Shoshone, Poland and Sognhai to all.

I wish there was choice in Rulers in V.

[Miss Mae]

Yeah I noticed, Rez. Have been having fun mastering the culture win, so I've been predominantly fiddling with the civs that have bonuses that help with my culture gen.

[Pike]

Can you guys do that thing in V like you do in IV where you can mix and match leaders and civs to get really overpowered? :plotting:

[Bolivar]

I play random every game.

I only play Civ III and IV but I do the same.

Nope.

However, look for a mod called The Amalgamation. It's a little OP.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Never played Civ V, but during those countless all-nighters playing Civ IV, I did like playing as the US. Partly because I'm American and it's fun to put the Kremlin in Boston, but also because the Navy SEAL was such a badass, destructive Unique Unit.

On the flipside, it was always fun to play as Mao and put the Statue of Liberty in Beijing. I also played Mongolia alot, because the Keshik was incredible.

[Pike]

Speaking of the Statue of Liberty and Civ IV, my favorite thing was to switch to slavery and sacrifice tons of people to build the thing.

[Rez09]

<_<

I REALLY need to give Civ IV a play. Have any of you Civ IV players tried Civ Revolution?
