Which Civs should be added after PTW?

[History Guy]

Nah. Try this...

Ethiopia
Queen Zawditu
UU: Sarwe

Holland
Stadholder William of Orange
UU: Ship-of-the-Line

Incas
Inca Athualpa
UU: Sun Warrior

Israel
King David
UU: Slinger

Polynesia
King Kamehameha
UU: Double Canoe

and

Portugal
King Manuel
UU: Nao

Now, that's what I call a future civs list.

Perhaps if they decide on 7 more civs instead, we could have...

Khmer
King Jayvarman
UU: Elephant Archer

But that'd be pretty much all you'd need.

As for the Dutch, who asks "what did they produce"? Have you ever heard of Rembrandt, or Ruebens? Or try New York (New Amsterdam). They gave us a lot!

Beren-- It has hardly been proven. That's just speculation.

Have you listened to anything I said? It HAS been proven. In centuries of oral tradition this story has been carried over from generation to generation. This story was well known. (Tale has it that the sultan heard rumours of a land in the west and sent his fleet of twenty ships westward, burdened with gold. Only one of them returned, but they had established trade with the Aztecs. The sultan wished to go himself and left his kingdom to his brother.)
More importantly: Gold analysis of the Aztec temples show that the gold is indeed from Malinese origin. If you would have an alternative explanation for that give it to me and surprise the entire scientific world.

Beren-- Could you please post some solid sources?

[werdhertz]

I think the Serbs should be a civ. Although they didnt have the biggest empire (if you could even call it that) for very long, they STILL IMO belong in the game more than say the Iroquoix (sp) , or the Americans.

Another one i really dont understad is why the Byzantine arent in it. Or are they? Ive checked the list for PTW and didnt see them. Whats up with that?

Oh yeah, i dont think the Israelies should be a civ. Maybe call it Zionists?

OK, I didn't got it from a book, but from a person. He is a professor at the Rijksuniversity of Groningen, mister de Boer. He is chief of the department of Middle ages. He gave a whole college of this story (to 258 first years students.) It is compulsory and we have to know it. If he says that the Aztec gold came from Mali and that there are gold analysis that prove that, I believe him. If you don't, let me know and I'll speak to him about it. (I'll have to find him, but that shouldn't be hard.)

Hebrews, Inca, Songhai/Mali, Byzantines, Dutch, Portugese, Khmer.

[monkspider]

You guys are underscoring the Byzantines, I imagine that they are a shoe-in for the next XP.

[monkspider]

In fact, I would say that the Inca, Hebrews, Byzantines and Dutch are all shoe-ins. The remaining two or three spots are extremely mysterious though, due to the rather large number of civs that they could conceivably pick.

[gsmoove23]

Inca
Maya
Possibly Hopi or some other southwestern US Tribe, otherwise the Sioux
Goths
Mali
Ethiopia
Byzantines(definately)
Khmer
I always liked the Scythians
Hittites and Lydia just because such obvious examples of a single technology advance making so much difference, not many other reasons.

Shoot, I've gone over. No bother put the rest in an expansion pack.

[Martinus]

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but for all supporters of Polish civ here, go and download the Polish mod by Piernik, LoD and others, available in the files forum (the separate Polish thread). It has beautifully animated leader heads, a hussar special unit and everything else a professional-made civ needs. Truly a beauty

We don't need Firaxis to introduce Poles any more (though if I were them, I'd buy the copyrights from these guys and public the add-on)

[godinex]

Mayans
Incans
Ethiopia
Mali
Khmer
Polinesia
and Costa Ricans!

[yaroslav]

Israel
The Netherdlands
Portugal
Latin America (a country, please)
Inca
Maya
Hungary

I wish I have an 8th civ: Byzantines (a must, in my humble opinion)

[Heresson]

Of the recently proposed. The smaller number, the bigger my support is;

1) Byzantine - unless You all admit that it was Rome
and add their cities, their leaders to the Roman civ.
2)Poland
3)Ethiopia for Africa - in fact only African civ worth attention perhaps except for Nubians and Numidians
4)Inca
5)Maya - both needed for America
7)Dutch or Portugeese

perhaps Khmers,
eventually Hungarians.

Certainly not Hebrews/Israelies.
Better Arameans then.

I, for one, propose the addition of new civilizations as part of a larger package – “The Lost Civilizations.” This title covers ground that would allow us to explore several civilizations no longer a part of our world (or narrowly not) within the Civ III experience. Seven pertinent choices come to mind: the Confederate States of America (UU: CS cavalry, early submarine), the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary (UU: hussar, grenadier), the Kingdom of Siam (UU: elephant archer), the Kingdom of Greater Serbia (UU: grenadier, citizen’s militia), the Boer Republics (UU: Boer), the Inca Empire (UU: eagle warrior), and the Kingdom of Aragon-Castille (UU: man-at-arms, late crusaders?).

aragon-castille could be represented by spain.

confederates would have been ecenomically forced rejoin union or mexico by 1900 anyway.

i like boer republic
and inca

siam/thailand/knmer/annam[vietnam] of
of course koreans could be changed to this as korea was largely just fought over between china and japan for much of its history [no korean empire except in cheap merchandise]

hungary [of A-H] aka Magyars is good
