Poll of the Day > Civilization players: how do you choose your faction?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I usually balance things between bonuses I want with the Civs I just like. The only time I've ever been married to one was Carthage in V. They're just cool all-around.

I just go with the one whose bonuses fits my playstyle.

Agreed. I went with her until settling on Germany. That extra district is really helpful at not getting bottlenecked.

I just use whichever civ is assigned to me

In Civ III I would pick random but tended to migrate over to Japan and Greece... My god I always broke the game playing Greece, the shields would go off the screen it was so funny .

In Civ IV I felt I could use almost all empires equally well and would just go through each leader one by one in order to play them all but if I wanted to play against friends I would either stick with Japan if I wanted to crush them or play India if I wanted to be an asshole and take all the religions in a 1 city wonder .

Civ V I hated so god damn much how absolutely different every civ felt like and although I experimented a bit with as many as I could stomach using I could only get anywhere with Japan.

Civ VI felt to me like a slightly better Civ V but it took away touchscreen support! Now that Rise and Fall is out it feels substantially better than before and I might go back to random selection, at least for a little while.
