As I gaze upon this land, this European continent, I am... dissatisfied. Every land, every nation, tribe, and city, is at war. Every man, woman, and child, forever embroiled in conflict, over petty disputes of pride and nationalism. There must be some way to unify this land. I have begged their rulers to see reason, to become one whole, to put national boundaries beside for the greater good. But they will not listen. This perpetual war, fights that create fights... there must be some way to stop it.

There is one way to stop it, and one way only.

I will unify Europe through war, to end war once and for all. It may take decades; no, centuries; nay, millenia. But I will see to it that Europe is unified once and for all.

This is a game of Civilization II, in which I'll use the Europe map that comes with the game to simulate one man's desire to conquer Europe. Seeing as I'm still somewhat inexperienced at the game, I'll be using the Prince difficulty. I'm using 7 civilizations, the "roving bands" barbarian setting in order to focus on conquering Europe, the rule forbidding the reincarnation of fallen civilizations, the "flat world" rule, and the "bloodlust" rule to ensure that nobody can into space.

I'm leaving it up to you guys to decide which civilization I'll be ruling. I'm not putting Asian or American civilizations into the poll, for obvious reasons (that the game will probably ignore to spite me,) but due to the scope of the map I'll include Babylon, Russia, and Persia. (I'd also include Carthage and Egypt but there's no way I'm going to start off in that tiny little desert.) The country you choose will also affect my general playstyle, as well, so choose wisely.

Why, the Celtic underdogs, of course!

[mainiac]

Rome would seem fitting.

[Shadowlord]

Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend me your deer,
leather will gird our armsmen,
you need not fear!

I may not be using these words correctly but that's never stopped anyone else

[MonkeyHead]

Vikings. Start north, murder to the south.Then nuke until win.

[Bouchart]

Persia or Babylon would start you off in the middle east and you'd have tons of space to expand before fighting someone.

[Shadowlord]

Does it even use realistic starting positions? (I don't remember anymore but don't think it did)

[EuchreJack]

There can only be one great and noble liberating hero nation of Goodness:
GERMANY

[IronyOwl]

Babylon, I hear they're ambitious architects.

[~Neri]

Nein, German is best.

[StrawBarrel]

Post for conquest.

[Bouchart]

Does it even use realistic starting positions? (I don't remember anymore but don't think it did)

Pretty sure there's an option for it.

[BluarianKnight]

Celtic or Vikings.

[Shadowlord]

I think OP has forgotten about this.

[Teneb]

Babylon, impress the world with your impressive beards. Also being the earliest in the list and de jure owner of the land by virtue of being first.
