  • Prediction for Next Week's Civ

    My bet is India. It seems that Firaxis use a chronological order for their weekly Civs. Babylonians(sumerians) was dated back almost 4000BC, Egyptians 3000BC, Greeks(with inclusion of Minoans) 2000BC, Chinese 1800BC. Indian civilization appeared around the same time as Chinese so they should be next.

    They have already released the Greeks. They were last week's civ of the week.

      Well, seeing how the Greeks were last week, I don't think they'll pop up again .

      My bet is probably the Persians... though Indians being next wouldn't suprise me. Dark horse = Zulus.

        What if the civ of the week is completely random? Maybe Firaxis is just drawing a civ from a hat?
        'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
        G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

          But then there would be a chance of modern units being released to the general public. And it appears that Firaxis is not revealing anything about that yet. Maybe a week or two before release or maybe just keeping it a secret for the actual release. Either way I don't think they would allow the chance of releasing info about the modern age such as what numbers are going to go along with the U.S. F-15.

              sorry for a lapse of forgotten history, but how far back did the russians go? i remember them being conquered by the Mongols.

                        Probably the Romans.
                        They are bound to come up sooner or later... Im really interested in seeing their legion's stats

                          I'm thinking Persians. Certainly older than the Romans, and older than the Indians depending on your definition...

                            Out of interest, when do the Romans date back to??

                            My knowledge of history is unfortunately almost completely based upon what ive learnt from civ What, the Americans weren't around since 4000BC?!? hehe

                              Of course is difficult to say: traditional date of Rome city founding is 753 B.C. but you can go back a bit, still inside the X century B.C.
