Prediction for Next Week's Civ

[Robert]

Iraquois

[Adm.Naismith]

Either Persians or Indians.

[Alexander I]

It depends on definition.

Persia --> Elam and Media around about 1700 B.C., Persia itself at closer to 850-600 B.C.

India --> Indus River Valley (2000), quite early, then Indo-European/Aryans (Persians) invade, Persian influence in art, still primitive until about 300 B.C., after Greek invasion, Mauryan Empire

Rome --> Etruscans around 1000 B.C., but not really Roman, Rome founded in 750 B.C., Roman Republic around 400 B.C., Roman Empire starts 14 B.C.

It will be one of these three, but it's anybody's guess. I'm hoping for Persia; we STILL haven't seen the leader or unit!

Speaking of which, is this our Bismarck (German)?

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

And im thinking you're right

It looks like the Romans are next then (if it isnt the Indians) Yay!!

[Transcend]

Well, my prediction was way off. What are your people's guess for the civ after the Persians?

Well if it goes by UU we still could see Aztecs soon.

But I would have to say it is going to be either the Japanese or Romans next. (With the Indians in the waiting depending on what Indian empire they pick).

[Alexander I]

I'm thinking: (Nation and Golden Age [approximate])

6. India or Rome 100 B.C.. or 100 A.D.
7. Rome or India 100 A.D. or 100 B.C.
8. Germany 1200 A.D.
9. Japan 1350 A.D.
10. Britain 1500 A.D.
11. France 1500 A.D.
12. Aztec Empire or Russia 1500 A.D. or 1700 A.D.
13. Russia or Aztec Empire 1700 A.D. or 1500 A.D.
14. Iroquois 1700 A.D.
15. America 1800 A.D.
16. Zululand 1880 A.D.

It all depends - starting dates vs. dynasties. For one thing, Xerxes was before Alexander, yet the Greeks came first because of their Classical period in the 700s and 600s BC. (Persia's high was in the 400s).

Perhaps it is by Golden Age.

[Transcend]

If it goes by the Golden Age, I would choose the following:

Romans, 100BC - 200AD
Indians, about the same time.
Germany, either 1100-1200AD or 1871-1914
France, either around 800AD(Charlemagne) or 1600-1700(Louis XIV)
Britain, 1600-1900 (The Empire)
Russia, 1700-1900 (Romanov Dynasty)
Japan, around 1600(Tokugawa, Hideyoshi)
Iroquois, around 1700
America, after 1945

[Alexander I]

You forgot the Zulus. Their time should be either 1790s and 1800s for the famous leader Shaka, or 1870s and 1880s for the real golden age and Anglo-Zulu Wars under Cetewayo.

Otherwise, I agree with you. (though the 800 A.D. Charlemagne thing could go for Germany too)

And it will be a toss up between India and Rome.

Ashoka or Augustus, huh.

[tniem]

Well I was half right with this prediction:

But I would have to say it is going to be either the Japanese or Romans next. (With the Indians in the waiting depending on what Indian empire they pick).

Alexander and Transcend appear to be right on the money with this week's prediction of the Indians.

So what about next week?

I think probably Romans. Japanese also coming soon.

Yes I saw that face in an ad while at gamespot, it had bismarck written under it.

[Dimorier Maximus]

I know it's a long shot, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say...Romans.

If it ain't the Romans, I'd be mighty surprised.

[Transcend]

I'll bet on the Romans.
