[Inverse Icarus]

Korea is in.

[Inverse Icarus]

oh, and Celts (or their kin). Emperor Brueneus (i cant spell and im not looking it up)

[Solver]

Ottomans, Spain, Viking, Carthage, Korea = Confirmed (5). Celts or Gaulls = either is in. (6).

Leaves us with two more, possibly Turks or Arabs, but those are likely not in, since the Ottomans are - Incans and Mayans can be in, though.

I've already stated that for many European players there will actually be too much Asian civs.

[Jay Bee]

solver, you're missing the mongols

Whoa, have I missed something?

I never heard Firaxxis say the Koreans were in.

[Liam III]

Any ideas on their qualities? UU?

This discussion about who's in started ages ago, I can't believe it hasn't finished yet!

[Solver]

Yeah, I missed Mongols, stupid me .

Right, we only have 1 civ we don't know for sure. Well, generally 2 - 1 is we don't know if it's Celts or Gaulls, 2nd we don't know at all, though rumors are Incans, Arabs or Turks.

Firaxis said Korea is in in one of the chats.

[WarpStorm]

My guess is these:

Spanish
Carthaginians
Vikings
Celts
Korea
Ottoman
Mongols
Arabs

[Q Classic]

which chat? i'd like confirmation...

[Solver]

I think 1.21f.

[Ribannah]

Firaxis mentions Genghis Khan (Mongols), Hannibal (Carthage), Isabella (Spain) and Brennus (Gauls), and their screenshots also show the Vikings (Norse?).

Firaxis was "duped" into saying Korea was in.

someoe asked a few questions about Korea, and this is what got him (IIRC, this is all from memory)

poly guy: "Is the Hwacha an artillery unit?"

firaxis: "yes"

poly guy: "Aren't the Koreans at a disadvantage for getting a golden age with an artillery unit?"

firaxis: "Would you say the Americans are at a disadvantage? But, then again, I know a few more things about PTW than you do."

[Q Classic]

ah, yes, i remember that.

but i'd hope there would be something much more solid.

Ottomans & Turks are the same civ.

That doesn't necisarily conferm that the Koreans are in, the Hwacha could be a new artillery that you get at gunpowder.

So far, the only civs that have been 'officialy' released are;
Spanish, Mongol, Celts, Viking, Ottoman, & Carthage.
