Petition to Firaxis: add Poland as a playable civ

[Heresson]

Don't You need an arabist?

[Nikolai]

Cheap labour.

[Elwro]

I'd be all for it, but who should be the leader?
Lepper the Suntanned?
The Potato Duck-twins?
Roman the Conservative?

But seriously, Kazimierz Wielki (Casimirus the Great) would perhaps be fine.

edit: To state the obvious: petition for something like that is of course lame. It's like screaming "hey, people, we are there, we are worthy of your attention, yoohoo!" So how to get Poland into future Civilization games?
Simple. We need a great leader who'll guide us on the path to world domination.

OK, so I'll get my hussarian feathers and we'll start with Spitsbergen.

[Heresson]

Casimir the Great or Boleslas the Brave...
or one of the Sigismunds... (first two ones, that is), or Jagiello... there are many possibilities

You hold your thieving hands away from Norway's islands!

[Virdrago]

Looking at the Wonders and some of the Great People, I can see Poland (Copernicus), Maya (Cao Cao), the Netherlands (a couple great scientists/artists I can't remember), Babylon/Sumer (Abraham) and the Khmers (Angkor Wat) coming. Usually all the GPs and Wonders have been civs that are already in the game or will be. Just take a look. Portuguese I haven't seen yet. I repeat yet. I may have missed a couple.

If that's the case, I see Alexander, Diadem, and Ideska dancing in the streets by next year. Of course, using my usual disclaimer, I could be wrong...

You are right that you are wrong.
Cao Cao is one of most famous Chinese warlords. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cao_Cao

There's lots of good Civs that could be added. You run into the problem of representing not only geographic areas but different cultures within one geographical areas, and different cultures inhabiting it at different times.

* Poland
* Prussia
* The Hebrews
* Sumeria
* The Hittites
* Assyria
* Italy
* Portugal
* Byzantium
* Phoenecia (kinda covered already)
* Mexico
* Canada
* Brazil
* Australia
* Australia (aboriginal)
* Any number of Balkan, Serbian, Slovakian cultures
* Ireland (yeah I know ... we have the Celts)
* At least one Caribbean culture could be represented
* Belgium (although ... well Belgium is just weird)
* At least one non-Indo-European culture ... Finland, probably
* Israel (distinguishable from the ancient Hebrews)
* Kenya
* Siam/the Thai people

Could go on forever! There's a number of Meso-American cultures that could be plundered as well. Ok bad choice of words.

[Heresson]

Israel? what for? Kenya? Canada? Belgium? Australia? Finland?



they all have very modest, and very short history

Prussia is some idea, but not when we're having Germans already

[DrSpike]

Oh goody a list of possible civs to debate. It's been a few weeks.

[Nikolai]

Most of the civs on the list is already in the game by different means.

My mistake. I apologize for that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Not the first time. I have to get my facts straight.

Edit: Shouldn't I be hitting myself with a candy cane during the holidays?

[Addled Platypus]

Where is Congo ?

[Zoid]

Kazahkstan must be included
