I'm always the inveterate builder, but I'd look to something with a UB for long term effect, such as Zulu or Mali or England. I'm not nearly as convinced as everyone else that starting techs are such a big discriminator, but then what do I know cause I just play against AIs.
With ya' buddy, but I think we've all made our cases. With most of the folks on this team we all understand what Egypt, Mali, Zulu, Ottomans, or any of the solid picks bring to the table. It's just that case that ~2:1 of the team prefers the starting tech, barb fighting, and city attacking power of Egypt over what the other choices bring to the table.
