What will the remaining 2 unknown civs be?

[sgrig]

It is now as good as proven that six of the eight new civs will be:

Spanish
Vikings
Mongols
Koreans (evidence- special unit Hwacha)
Celts (evidence- leader name Brennus)
Carthagenians (evidence - entry on MP screen).

What do you think the other two civs are going to be?

[Deathwalker]

I wish they would make the Huns a playable nation. I always wanted to lay as the huns but there always put in as barbarions

[jugurtti]

I've always been annoyed because of having all english, french and germans, whose difference i really in real history can't tell and which i see belonging to the same civilization. I can't see much point adding dutch of spanish.

Carthagenians (counterweighting the greco-romanic culture), or jews (maybe not a historial superpower, but as an example of really strange history) would bring more balance to the historial picture. Same goes with ethiopia and mongols.

[Adagio]

Well...I don't see any room for the Dutch or any more European country, and I couldn't care less about Arabs or those countries nearby. Then there's only Canadians, Mayas and Incas to choose from, but I'm not that much for adding Canada, and the Mayas and Incas are much a like, so I can't choose both, so I choose Mayas and one not on the list: Australia

[Master Marcus]

Why not the Québécois??? just a joke ( unless we're putting 200 civs in that game ).

[Solver]

I do not yet think that the Koreans are proved, but it's likely. I want the Hebrews, and probably Mayans.

[Andrew_Jay]

So the Koreans are more or less official? I've seen the civlopaedia picture, but brought up in another thread that it might be from the Japanese unit set for scenario building. But someone has verrified the 'rocket wagon'/Hwacha as being a UU? Just wondering.

I doubt Canada will be in, even if I am Canadian The Iriqouis are already on Canadian territory anyway.

About the Hebrew and Arab civs, I doubt they could get away with putting in one and not the other. So if there are two spots left, perhaps they fill them. However, I heard in another thread that 7 of the 8 had been verrified, though I cannot remember what was said to back this up.

My prediction: arabs and incans

[Spiffor]

This thread has a very short lifespan, as we'll know it in the next 3 days

But I'd say turks and Incans :
- Turks almost made it in the Original Civ1, the Arabs never.
- Mayan have no room to expand on a world map, and we need another American Civ. Granted, it's not an important factor anymore, as we now have the Celts, the Spanish and the Vikins in Europe, which adds even more Civs on a continent crowded with Rome, Greece, France, Germany and Russia

[Jon Shafer]

Incans and Israelis are my guess.

[Dinner]

I'm hoping for the Ethiopians and Inca but I honestly think the Turks will beat out the Ethiopians.

[monkspider]

*IF* the Koreans are indeed in, then that means there are still no middle-eastern or american civs in the XP. Thus, the last two spots *WILL * each be claimed by those two cultural groups, respectively.
I think Inca are almost a shoe-in, not quite a total shoe-in since Firaxis could conceivably go with the Maya or Sioux. The Middle-East is much tougher to predict. At this juncture, I would guess the Arabs. But if the Koreans exist only in the Japanese scenario, then the Isrealites will be in to.
So in short, I say it will be the Inca and Arabs or Inca, Arabs, and Isrealites. Just remember you heard it here first. :P

[History Guy]

I'm not convinced of the Korean Civ being in the game either. The picture could very well be from the Feudal Japan set-up. I'd like to see just a bit more evidence before I make a judgement on it.

[ChaotikVisions]

I voted on Turks and Incans, seems the best bet to me. Fits the regions and gives a bit more variety to things.

well ... we kinda feel the same about the Finns, Swedes and Danes ...

*shrugs* ahh ... there is so much we are both missing out on ...

c'est la vie.

ON-TOPIC: I'd love to see the Canadians in the game ... it'd just be funny.

seriously though, the Turks would be cool and it makes sense to include them. I'd also like to see the Ethiopians. I wouldn't mind either Incans or Mayans, but I'd rather have the other two.
