Does anyone know if picking "random" for your civ actually gives you an equal chance of getting each civ? I went through my last 50 games where random civ was picked and this is what I ended up with. (Not sure if it matters, but all 50 games were played on Black Forrest.)
As you can see, it doesn't seem very equal at all.
On a side note, the Teutons and Celts are by far my best civs and Persians, Saracens, and Mayans are my worst. Maybe I just have bad luck...
