    Civ from the Oceanic region?

    This new XP sounds pretty good, I'm surprised that after the relative flop PTW was they continued the series - shows there is still dedication to the product line, doesn't it?

    Does anyone know the confrimed civs? I've heard the Mayans will be there. I've seen a screenshot of the WW2 scn but I think the civ on Australia/other island parts is the 'Commenwealth' rather than a new civ (too bad it isn't Europe, but I suppose the series has already visited that in Civ2). I would like to see at least one civ from the Pacific, maybe 'Polynesians' - it is one of the five geographic regions of the world and they are an extremely old culture and were adept at island hoping (if you're looking at a game advantage for them).

    Anyone know if this is likely or not?

    Sorry NeoStar. The final 7 are in. Incans, Mayans, Byzantines, Sumeria, Hitties, Dutch and the Portuguese.

        And I thought they'd have to do it this time. Where do they get some of these civs from? I'm betting none of the team has been to Oceania! Oh well...we can mod, can't we?

            Well, the Dutch had their colonies in the East Indies (Indonesia) and were great navigators, so I'd guess they went to Oceania, even though they did not annex the place.

            Similar for the Portuguese, they were the best seafaring explorers in Europe, and made contact with the Japanese decades before anybody else. They settled on the Timor Island and in other small places in the area.

              Only if you play on a world map

              Any non-scenario version of the game will be perfectly fine

                    Presuming you mean the Conquests development team, you would lose that bet

                      Such a shame that they couldn't think outside the square over Europe and the middle east for any longer than necessary to add the Maya and Incas.

                      I was hoping that at least one civ in this expansion could be from Africa, and also an Oceanic civ like Indonesians/Polynesians or even Australians. And I initially scoffed at the thought that the Byzantines would be in, and I was also surprised somewhat at the inclusion of the Sumerians and Hittites.

                      Not that it matters much since modding the game is easy enough when determined enough to do so, and I intended to make a few changes anyway.
