What will be the next civ of the week?

[Kramsib]

The Russians have been the Civ of the Week this time, but what will be the next?

There are only 6 civs left and their misteries will be revealed in the next six weeks.

We all know who will be their leaders and their capital cities but, What will be their specific units?

What are your predictions?

[Boris Godunov]

Gotta be Japanese or Zulus, since they are going in order of UU power. The last two will be the Germans and Americans.

[Faboba]

It'll probably be the French or the Japanese ( I voted the former ).

My reasoning? They'll do the English, American and Germans to coincide with the release dates and probably the Zulus after cause, sadly, few people care about them. They're not a name that rushes out at you and they don't have a super kickass / unknown unique unit.

On that fron of the ones we've got left its :

Americans - F-15
Germans - Panzer Tank
English - Man of War / Ship of the Line / Whatever. A big floatey thing with cannons.
Japanese - Samuri ( duh! )
Zulus - Impi

But what is it for the French? Is it a cavalier? Is it a colonial (rifleman)? Is it a Templar?

Probably something to do with the medievil times as they seem to be carefully doing the units to coincide with the golden ages.

[Mankind]

I voted for Zulu

[becose I want to know more about my favorite civ- favorite to conquer, devastating, destroying, anihilating etc. ]

[Imran Siddiqui]

But what is it for the French? Is it a cavalier? Is it a colonial (rifleman)? Is it a Templar?

I believe it was said to be a Musketeer.

Yep. See the units included thread in the Civ 3 - General forum.

I voted for the French. But don't trust me; the only one I've predicted right so far was the Russians (and I'm so fucking proud of myself for that one! ).

[Morley]

I'm not so sure they're going in order of UUs-what about the dread impis? Shouldn't they have been up with the Jaguar Warriors, etc?

And just a thought (and I'm prob. forgetting something, like Dan already confirming it) but might the Japanese UU be the Zero? I seem to recall a unit that looked awful zeroesque. Of course, there was also a MiG floating around at one point. If it were up to me, I'd make it samurai, but hey...

Let's see...US HAS to be on the release date...there are entirely too many European civs left. I say vive la belle France! Out with the Pink!

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed as samurai. And about the MiG. It looks like that's not in the game but even if it were it would probably being the Russian UU seeing how they invented it and all...

[Kramsib]

My predictions about the specific units are:

Americans - F15
Zulus - Impi
Germans - Panzer
French - Musketeer
Japanese - Samurai.
English - Man of war, but I am not sure, it was more proper a ship, like a clipper or a frigate.

According to the past:

Babylonians (ancient) (green)
Egyptians (ancient) (yellow)
Greeks (ancient/classical) (orange)
Chinese (ancient - contemporanean) (blue)
Persians (ancient) (blue)
Indians (ancient) (purple)
Aztecs (ancient - modern era) (yellow)
Romans (ancient/classical) (white)
Russians (middle age) (white)

So I think, the next civ of the week could be the Japanese because of their feudalism era. But the French are very likely too.
Something is true, the Americans will be the last.

[JellyDonut]

Kramsib: You forgot the Iroquois.

I doubt the Americans will be last. It would make more sense for Firaxis to release them just around the release date.
"Lookee here! We gots a game fer y'all! Go to the website! By, golly, what do we have here? Why it's yer fav'rite civilization, the Americans! Buy, buy buy!"

[Skanky Burns]

Im putting my vote down for the Japanese, and my second () guess for the English

[Alexander I]

As much as I would like to see the Germans (Fancy doing Russia before any other European nation!), I regret that I think it will be Japan. They've been a long time coming now, and heavens! Cossacks with muskets don't predate Samurai!

But who could have expected the Iroquois and Aztecs would come when they did. Here's what I think.

Japanese - Tokugawa Ieyasu - Samurai (Pikemen)
French - Joan of Arc - Royal Musketeer (Musketeer)
English - Elizabeth I - Man of War (Galleon)
Zulus - Shaka Zulu - Impi (Warrior?)
Germans - Otto von Bismarck - Panzer (Armor)
Americans - Abraham Lincoln - F15/16 (Fighter or Stealth Fighter)

Hmm.

[Kramsib]

16 Oct. French Boosted.

Today 16-Oct. :

Although most of people think that Zulus or Japaneses will be the next civ of the week, the ones who think the French will be has increased in number.

Will be Joan d'Arc the next revealed leader?

or perhaps Tokugawa?

even the misterious Shaka... Remember that Shaka was the leader who apeared the last according to Apolyton's forum.

Make your bets.

[joseph1944]

I voted for the Japanese, then maybe the US on the 26th or Nov 2nd. If not the US than England, then France and then the US.

[Lorizael]

I voted Japanese just because they're cool and we haven't had an Asian Civ (unless you count the Russians) in awhile. Mostly, because I think they're cool. Plus after the Samurai you start getting into not so ancient UU's, which I don't think Dan is gonna do.
