I'm tired of the repetitiveness of Abomination, so I decided to go with this sort of LP that may never end but no, it will end even if I have to skip the more boring Civilization part of it to do so. First, this will be a two-games in one Let's Play thread, following the story of a Civilization from the dawn of civilized society to the end of human era.
I haven't really abandoned my previous LP, it's just that I temporarily lost interest in updating them. Also, because it's said great games don't lend the best LPs, I added Civilization III to mix. So:
Civilization III Intro
It's the Play the World Intro, yeah, but it is a bit more interesting video IMO and that pack is quite meh anyway so there is not much of a difference between Civ III with and without PTW for what is being done here.
Let's make some LARP... I mean, background history, for the world, of events that occurred long before the dawn of human civilization:
======================
War. War never changes.
Even before mankind even existed upon the planet, war was already fought over the resources that could be acquired: Strangelets and T-Rex scales.
For these resources, The Reptilian civilization, once united, would break apart into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on control over the last resources of Earth.
In 65.000.000 B.C., the storm of world war has ravaged Earth for the first time. In a few hours, most of the world has been reduced to cinders, driving the reptilian civilization and the primitive dinosaurs into extinction. Only a few would survive the devastation, fortunate enough to take shelter into the large pods of a spaceship, built to take the last remnants of the reptilian civilization to a distant planet orbiting Tau Ceti.
Several millions of years later, the devastation caused by the weapons of this war was still felt. The world was still suffering the consequences of the long nuclear winter, and of an ice age that would still take a couple of hundred thousand years to end. The air was dry, deserts made most of the planet, and amidst this brutal world, a new species would gain sentience: Humanity.
The harshness of the world has shaped man into a bitter, cynical, indifferent(and perhaps butthurt as well) but ultimately resilient being, while the population growth forced man to struggle for survival in a world that still was mostly a wasteland. Amidst such turmoil, in the few fertile areas of the planet, the first civilizations of human history would begin, facing a harsh world, where every uncivilized man was:
OOL(Out of LARP) Note: Pretty much the only way to make barbarians feel like mindworms, at least in the early game.
Life in Earth was about to change.
====================
So, now comes the first choice for the Hivemind. With a few notes. Due to the need of a minimum of coherence, I'll LARP some house rules or whatever you may call.
First, Amerikwa, China, Russia, England, India and maybe the Zulus must ideally survive and can't be totally defeated by the Civ I'll be playing due to that(if they're defeated by another AI Civ, screw it)
Second, Space Race Only, for obvious reasons.
Third, the choice of Civilization to play will tie up with the faction that I'll play once I reach Alpha Centauri in this thread. Pay attention to this LARPing bullshit before casting a vote for a civilization:
So, which Civilization(and depending on it, faction later), should I play with?

- Muslimsh Commonwealth: Gaians
- Amerikwa: Believers
- Wyrmlordia: Peacekeepers
- skyway's East: University
- Tau homeworld: Human Hive
- Defjamland: Morgan
- Any other civilization: doesn't matter, will allow for separate faction vote later in this thread.
So, which Civilization(and depending on it, faction later), should I play with?
