7 New civs? I'm confused.

[Captain THC]

C3C is looking great. I'm a little confused though as to how the new civs are being added in. Are they only going to be in the scenarios? Or will their be new civs to play on random maps, too?

And the number I'm hearing now is 7, before it was 8. 7 seems like an odd number - maybe they didn't have time for the eighth?

Which new civs are confirmed to be available on random maps?

[Captain THC]

And I would like to apologise if this has been asked before; I checked through the last couple of pages and didn't see anything.

the game has a hardcoded limit of 31 civs + barbarians

The new civs will be playable in the regular game on random maps.

In Gamespot review, they said that two of the civs in one of the scenarios are the Babylonians and the Phoenicians, and claimed that neither was in the regular game, which he know to be false, as Babylon has been included since the original game. Perhaps by Babylonians, they mean the Hittites? (The city of Babylon was ruled by the Hittites post-Hammurabi)

And have the 7 civs been confirmed?

So far I've gathered:

Hittites
Incans
Mayans
Phoenicians
Portugese

Dutch.

Dutch aren't confirmed. Nor, really, are Portugal, but there is reason to suspect that they are included.

So does that mean that there will no longer be expansions that include civs? Or (I'm not a programming person) that they can change the code to accomodate more civs?

Also, IIRC, the Dutch and Portuguese were confirmed, in part because of the new Seafaring civ attribute, but the Phoenicians were in a middle east conquest.

So that means:

Summerians
Incas
Mayans
Hittites
Portuguese
Dutch

Who else? Canada? Polynesia? Khmer? Nubians? Slavs? Navajo? Israelis? Aborigines? Australians? Ghanans? Austrians?

There's enough for another XP!

I don't buy that. I'm sure the programmers can go in and edit another slot or three. They made the game after all.
