Civs included. Just the facts madam.

[Bereta_Eder]

Which are the civs that we already KNOW FOR SURE they are included in CIV 3?

So far we know that:

GREEKS ARE IN
AMERICANS ARE IN
GERMANS ARE IN
CHINESE ARE IN
ROMANS ARE IN
FRENCH ARE IN
RUSSIANS ARE IN
ZULUS ARE IN
ENGLISH ARE IN

Please add the rest BUT ONLY if you have seen clear evidence that they are in on a snapshot, or on an magazine article or in the Firaxis site.

What about the Vikings? Is it likely that they add a "Viking Longboat" (confirmed unit) without adding Vikings?

Thank you Ralf.

So, so far we know that:

GREEKS ARE IN
AMERICANS ARE IN
GERMANS ARE IN
CHINESE ARE IN
ROMANS ARE IN
FRENCH ARE IN
RUSSIANS ARE IN
ZULUS ARE IN
ENGLISH ARE IN
VIKINGS ARE IN

Keep the info (assuming there is more for now) coming.

The longboat is not a confirmed unit.

Check out THIS PICTURE. Except for the sail-colours, it sure as hell looks like a Viking Longboat to me. Besides Vikings are ALWAYS added in these types of strategy-games. Even "Settler 4" with only three civs to choose from, had Vikings as one of them. Lets face it: Its a firm favourite.

we know that the aztecs will be in. The city of Ehcatepec is obviously aztec.

[Temptihumbaninshushinak]

Ehcatepec means Hill of the Wind btw.

[Bereta_Eder]

Ralf, we have to have written confirmation to let a civ in at this time (city name, unique unit name or leader face etc).

I believe you that the boat looks like a longboat of the vikings but since we are not 100% sure I'll take out the Vikings for now. I am sure they are in anyhow.

Thank you Snapcase for the pointer
Thank you tempti about the Aztecs


So, so far we know that:

GREEKS ARE IN
AMERICANS ARE IN
GERMANS ARE IN
CHINESE ARE IN
ROMANS ARE IN
FRENCH ARE IN
RUSSIANS ARE IN
ZULUS ARE IN
ENGLISH ARE IN
AZTECS ARE IN

Keep the info coming guys and girls.

Firaxis website specifically mentions the Ironoquis (check my spelling) in the diplomacy section.

[Bereta_Eder]

Thank you Roman.

The text is:

«Want to trade your World Map and Bronze Working for a Spearman and Communications with the Indians? No problem. Want to offer a Peace Treaty to the Iroquois, but only if they will pay 5 gold per turn? Just make the demand.»

But we already have the Aztecs. Are we sure that Soren Johnson (Firaxis programmer that wrote the text) didn't just mention the Iroquois as a mere example?

What do you think?

[Roman]

No, we cannot be sure but I would still say it is one of the "hot tips" along with the Vikings.

[Bereta_Eder]

Alright.

So we know for sure that:

GREEKS ARE IN
AMERICANS ARE IN
GERMANS ARE IN
CHINESE ARE IN
ROMANS ARE IN
FRENCH ARE IN
RUSSIANS ARE IN
ZULUS ARE IN
ENGLISH ARE IN
AZTECS ARE IN

Awaiting new input (if there is any yet)

[JamesJKirk]

one question:

If the Iroquois were removed since it very well may be that they were just a place holder, why are the Aztecs in when all the info is about them relates to screenshots naming cities? I mean "Kerplachistan" is mentioned as a city! Plus I think that they would have decided on which civs were in early enough to not require placeholders for them.

[Al'Kimiya]

Ever considered these city names coming from minor civs?

The Sioux are in: PC- IGN Sioux Advisor

Or maybe its Iroquois, whichever it is, its a Native American tribe north of the Aztecs
