There are many different civilizations in the game, but what do you play as most? Why?
I usually play as Japan because I like the combat benefits and the cities look cooler.

I like the military orientated ones, as I spend most of my time building up my nation and getting crazy industrious, then the minute I get riflemen, the game turns into Warhammer 40k and I wage endless war until everyone flies my flag. As for the Civs I like to play as? Aztecs for that smexy culture bonus. Japan for their extremely useful Bushido bonus, not to mention the best music for a Civ. GERMANEH! So I can research Fascism and conquer everyone for teh lulz. Plus Panzers wreak everything. America for the Minutemen and the increased sight.
