As for this, I've seen the video, but I certainly couldn't make out any of the text, and I'd have to see a convincing screenshot to up the odds.

As it is though, I'll add Australians to the list.

It's hard to make out any of the text, but if you focus on the screen and stare at it for a few seconds it is possible to make out the 'shape' of a word. So that last civ name certainly looks like it begins with an A, and is relatively long...

Australia and South America are currently the only two continents unrepresented in the Civ-series. At least South America is joined onto North & Central America, but Australia is on the edge of the world (if you are not Australian, that is!), so any other civ is a long way away from it. So it is quite possible that in PTW, Firaxis decided to rectify this, at the expense of the Incas, which everyone seemed to want.

Double post

What else begins with A and something that might be mistaken for a "u"? Hmmm...

Could you tell us at what point in the video that happens? Like 1:35 in or 2:49?

Also, I noticed that Istanbul is visible as a civ capitol in the video, so I've added that to the Ottoman Turks entry.

Great to hear that the ottomans probably will make it (=
Austia-hungary?
Arakans? But that is not so likely
Ak Koyunlu? Probably not
Adens?
Afghanistans?
Annans?
Aragons?
Algiers?
Albanians?
Armenians?
Ayyuthayans?
Armenia minors?
Ashantis?
Annans?
Athjes?
Astrakhans?

Ayyuthayans is possible, but i guess they would call it thai peoples or something like that.
Might be austria-hungary as well

new analysis:
It most likely has around 6 or 7 letters. A closer look makes it look very much like it starts "Heb" for Hebrews...but you never know, it could still be Incans or Koreans.

As has been several places, the unknown one may be undecided, they could still be playtesting/reading our posts before making a decision. Or not. It's a shame when you enlarge the image, it becomes unreadable.

Well, having looked at the images you guys are trying to decipher, I have to say this is the biggest waste of time I've seen in a while.

It's a blur. For all you know it could say "BlurryCiv"
