Prediction for Next Week's Civ

[Akron]

I'm putting my money on the Zulus. Here comes another ancient UU, hope it is not as boring as the Aztec's.

[Dimorier Maximus]

I bet they do the Americans next, just to throw everybody off even more. But since Dan checks this thread, and then just picks whatever, he'll probably do the Romans this time. I bet he was gonna do 'em last time until everybody guessed that the Romans were next.

Not to spoil the surprise, but the Zulu Impi is a 1/2/2. Like a Spearman 1/2/1 with an extra move.

Come on! Anyone really think Dan doesn't have anything better to do that play on us? That would be too childish, and I have greater respect for Dan M. to believe this.

They probably throw at us any Civ they are ready to show: final graphics, final stats for Specific Unit...

[Sarxis]

I say Americans.

[KrazyHorse]

Zulus or Iroquois.

[Skanky Burns]

Id have to say the Zulus are next... or maybe the Iroquois.
Dan will probably release the 'most interesting' civs, like Americans or Romans last to build up more enthusiasm just before release. (For those newbies who are only just hearing about civ)

But then again, im only guessing

[Stuie]

I agree with Shanky. But to expand on that thought, I wonder if they have finished play balancing the early game units, and are still tweaking the late-game units. That would explain the fact that every civ that's been presented so far has an ancient or middle ages unit. So I'll go out on a limb and say the order will be:

The Zulus
The Iroquois
The Japanese
The Romans
The French
The English
The Russians
The Germans
The Americans

[Du_Chateau]

I say the Zulus

[Black Fluffy Lion]

Definately English or French. That would be a suprise. I can see it coming anyway...

[Tarquinius]

Hey, I didn't know that! Where did you read it?
Now you spoiled the suprise

[Skanky Burns]

Arggh!! 5 weeks in a row i predicted the Romans would be next... And then finally this week i gave up on the idea... and now they decide to release the Romans!!!

Id be even more upset if it actually mattered for anything

[ixnay]

I'll say Japanese are next.

[JellyDonut]

Russians or Japanese next. I just know it.

Edit: To further extrapolate, here's my list o' civs, just by guesswork.

1. Russians
2. Japanese
3. English
4. Americans (almost release time here)
5. Iroquois
6. French
7. Zulus
8. Germans

[Dimorier Maximus]

My guess for next week is the Japanese. That is, if we are going in order of the leader. I think Tokugawa is the oldest leader left of the bunch. I could be wrong about that though. Does anyone know when Tokugawa ruled Japan?

[Rakki]

off the top of my head I'd say around 1500 ~ 1700 was the Tokugawa Shogunate...
