I heard some pointers were mentioned at CFC and then edited way. -
As far as I know, everything said at CFC wasn't edited.
I know some people wanted a civ, such as Ethiopia. But here is the civ list, and I'll tell you where I found this info.
Sumer - Firaxis press release
Mayans- Ditto
Incas- Ditto
Hatti - The first screenshot had a Mursilis leaderhead
All these were later confirmed in other previews.
Dutch and Portugese - Hinted in a preview, virtually confirmed by Thunderfall
Byzantine - Apparently some TV show had them.
That's it - Jeff from Atari said that so far, they were advertising for 7 civs. Since the game is due to be released in the fall, and all official statements haven't changed, we can assume that they won't.Beer is proof that God loves you and wants you to be happy - Ben FranklinComment

Unfortunately, I think I started that rumour. Don't think its true but it would be interesting to see. How about The Vatican (Expansionist, Religious) or the Amish (Agricultural, Religious)?Originally posted by sabrewolf
oh, btw, did you hear that there are also rumours that the luxemburger and andorrans are in?

Hmm. Their favored gov could be Communist. Agriculture, team-oriented, low corruption (and the desire to take over the world ).

hm... now that i think about it:
after military and cultural expansion, an idea for civ4 could also be commercial conversion... as soon as you have discovered capitalism (the corporation), you can buy stakes and recieve a percentage of their commerce. the buy-in-price gets more expensive the more commerce they have. but as they grow, you'll profit... eventually you can take over control of the city (when you posess more than e.g. 66% of all)
how does that sound?- Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity

That strangely reminds me of Call to Power. You couldn't get the city, but you sure took most of its riches when implementing a "daughter company" in. The idea sounded fun at first, but the cycle of sending capitalists, and let them countered by lawyers, rinse repeat, was boring in the endOriginally posted by sabrewolf

how does that sound?, it sounds quite accurate to real life. Perhaps you couldn't take over a city with a 66% stake unless you were in a MPP with the target civ...
