Tell us which civilisation you most want to play in a strategy game like Millennia and why for $3!

I would have to go back and be an Atlantian during the Peak of Atlantis!

Like just being able to be part of that incredible civilization which was supposedly so advanced that ancient Egypt looked up to them! WOW!

Settling in a beautiful ring like city structure surrounded by vast ocean with technology lost to time..... all before it was wiped out do to the Yunger Dryas Impact (and most of civilization)... then from the ashes a few Atlantian's spread out over the earth to help rebuild society after this catastrophic disaster!

Now if they ever did exist, this blows my mind, as Ancient Egypt is just phenomenal and would have been my pick but I saw I had been beat to it, so my secondary would be Atlantis... Now the story goes (I think) that the Romans were told of Atlantis by the Egyptians, and if Atlantis massively pre-dates both of those powerful civilizations but was far more advanced the mind boggles at what has been lost to time! Especially considering I'm convinced the pyramids in Egypt were made using some form of technology lost to time, so what would have a ring city in the ocean have been like!?

I'm not great at strategy games but I do enjoy watching people who are play them! Let's fully dive into the alternative part of alternative history!

New World Civilization All civilizations are gone and have been for a while. Many years later, a new one surfaces. Playing this civilization lets you discover the wonders and technology of various civilizations that came before. That way, you could have a sci-fi pyramid as well as a Death Valley solar center or layered cities à la Deus Ex or Final Fantasy. You wouldn't be limited to a specific civilization's known style. If you can discover them without falling victim to whatever discoveries brought about their end.

Desert Warriors What if you applied the style of Mad Max vehicles to an entire city or civilization? Maybe built around precious water sources in the style of Frostpunk? Desertpunk?! V8 engines and desert steampunk applied to an entire civilization sounds like a fun concept to me.

I've had a chance to see an early version of the game, and it's really impressive.

In Millennia, your choice of starting civilization isn’t crucial. While the initial bonuses are nice, they quickly become overshadowed by other game mechanics. The critical elements are selecting the right Age sequence and National Spirits (or identity). Beginning with the Bronze Age (II), you're presented with meaningful choices. For my 1st playthrough, I'm considering the Olympians Nation for its diplomatic advantages. I believe it offers a unique challenge, especially if you aim to win through economic domination. Yes, you can win w/o killing everyone =)

I would say the Dothraki from GoT!

We'd get to grow our hair long, and ride horses, and swing swords around! All the things that i have never been able to do! :D

Jokes aside - i think they would be a cool as they seem to have a significant amount of honour, are fearless, and strong and skillful in what they do.

They also have good facial hair.

I could go for the easy option and just say Poland, and go on a conquest to re-establish Poland-Lithuania, however I recently did a super enjoyable playthrough of CK3 as just a random tribe in the Steppe, turning into a huge empire spanning most of the region. Going with one of those unknown tribes in the area, or say somewhere like Siberia, then turning it into this giant force is very cathartic.

However by far my favourite way to play games, be it RPGs, strategies, etc., is to avoid conflict, and achieve my goals through other means. That is where smaller Italian city states would be awesome to play as for example, or some other small yet rich nation.
