OK let's rank the worst civs first.
Anything expansionist is worthless. The Hittites seem to be the top of that class. Expansionist and commercial. Zulus militaristic and expansionist Americans industrious and expansionist Portugese as expansionist and seafaring Koreans as commercial and scientific Carthagians with industrious and seafaring Mayans agricultural and industrious Indians religious and commercial Egyptians religious and industrious

how the hell are you 2 gonna be on the same team!!!!!!!!
what if one of you press the button! i think americans are above zulus as the americans have such a late and worthless Uu. I dont think you should give them conquistadors, so that counts portugal out. What about English?

English are not bad with the combo of traits IMO and their UU would come into play in this type of game. The Spaniards get conquistadors not Ports. Ports get carracks which is a horrid UU IMO.

oooo yer my apologies but i do think in a game like this that having cheaper easy to use barracks and an early Uu for the zulu's is maybe not such a good idea and could swap them with england.
Isnt the Man O war englands Uu or am i missing something? i think its not very likely to come into play tbh

Out of the list you gave Whomp... I really wouldn't mind being the Koreans, Carthagians, or Indians. So I would suggest scratching those from the list.
The Koreans are scientific (great trait) Carthage has a great pillaging UU (early galley crossings will make them useful) Indians have an awesome UU that needs no resources. Otherwise I like the list. Simon, ManOWar is the English UU but you can get privateers from killing barb galleys. The carrrack is a Frigate but sucks.

I don't think the carrack is even a frigate it's a souped up galleon with 2-2 A/D.
Remember all traits need to be represented so we will have a scientific with some civ so the Koreans are less attractive. The chances of no iron is pretty remote as well so I think the Indians are somewhat negated even though the extra HP helps. Agricultural/seafaring/scientific/industrial/religous/commercial/expansionist/militaristic

gotcha... I didn't think about not duplicating the traits.
Here are my choices Koreans as com and sci Portugese as exp and sea Egyptians rel and ind is there an agr and Mil civ? I didn't pick the Mayans mainly because they could irrigate like crazy and grow through the roof

Upon further thinking here are a few civs I was thinking in combo. Either giving them defensive or late UU's combos. This is like a puzzle and nothing exactly works out but here's a try...
America exp/ind Germany sci/mil English sea/comm and the Celts as rel/ag or Ports exp/sea Korean comm/sci Egypt rel/ind Aztec mil/ag Tough to make combos...

I think what we need to decide on is what we prioritize: do we make a few overly bad or do we make them evenly bad. And do we emphasize on UU; if so, on bad, defensive or late.
I'm for giving them bad/late UU's as a medium priority, and make them evenly bad. Will try and draw something up.
