Dutch of course

I love that game and will try them all. Then ý will choose the most offensive civilization. Best defence is offence...

The first one is going to be The Ottomans then The Spanish. then.....rondom.

I dont know, but not the ottomans, brits, or pourtogese. I dont like lots of cheap units, and the pourtogese dont have enough lasting power.

british, i like the redcoats

British,
Russians
and French

the dutch, because im dutch
but eventually ill just take the best civ (if the game isnt really balanced, or just the best civ for me)

The british of course.

Wow...i hope not everyone is british in the first few games :S

update: added info from www.ageofempires3.com

I like the sound of Spain a lot, and the election of Seville as home city is brilliant. Seems it will have strong/expendable infantry.

England sounds like the strongest IMO.

You don't have to worry about all British.
Just mostly British. All because the British built the largest empire.
*makes a cough that sounds like 'all gone'*
I would personally like to play as the Russians mostly and everyone else, but I'm not buying the game until the Gold Edition comes out.

I'll probably choose the Russians first, and then the French or the Ottomans.

Russia just looks great, and I can't wait to learn more about them.

update: added www.ageofempires3.comRussian and Ottoman

Either German or British. Depending of how cool the Uhlan looks.

This is Turkey Flag.i think The Ottomans falg should be those :

The flag in the post is copied from www.ageofempires3.com
I think they all look really good

i know that u copied those flag in offical site. but this is mistake. this is Turkey Flag not Ottomans...

Moscow is the Russian Home City? Shouldn't it be St-Petersburg? It was the capital at the time of the Tsars, and it was a harbor.

So far the most interesting civs to me are the French, Russians and Ottomans. The coureur looks like the coolest unit in the game.

Er, why until the Gold Edition?

What is a Reiter?

I beleive that Reiters are Dutch cavalry. I dont know the details.

Too many people are making threads like this...bump

I shall be playing the British. Why? I am British myself and I get a warm fuzzy feeling playing as my own nationality in any game ^__^

PS: Haven't been on the HG forums for over a year now. It's good to be back!

I am going to play as the spanish, not because I am spanish (Ok, I have a spanish name )
They are cool!
