Or like aom I suppose

I think I would go with China, Aztec, France. You could tweak them to accentuate their particular characteristics. China could become even more of a Zerg civ. Aztec could get even stronger and more expensive single units. France would stay the same as the balanced civ

It's a good selection. I may go with Japan instead of China (because it would be easier to balance them in a 3-civ game).

As a Protoss/India main I can confirm these two civs are identical. :P Well ... not identical but there really is something similar about the two, I don't think it's a coincidence I played these the most.

Terran is obviously either brit/fre.

Zerg is the one I would struggle with most to find anything comparable, yea russia has the swarm factor but it doesn't have the 500 apm, smash your keyboard, I'm such a nerd and superior to you aura that it needs to capture that Zerg feeling.

Zerg isnt Aztec at all. Zerg are a super economical, lategame oriented race. They are more like portugal with the extra TCs and their inherent defensiveness (mimicking the queens + larva mechanic allowing for massing a ton of drones).

I could consider Russia, but the rushing with map control is just not how zerg plays.
