6 New Civs, but Which?

[Bisonbison]

I don't have time to read the whole board, but if Firaxis is still taking suggestions, here are my 6 TPW civs:

Israel/Hebrews: Great impact on world history. Who gave us Monotheism? [answer: them!]

Korea: Huge gaming market. Unparallelled impact on world history. Maybe their special unit could be some kind of Korean fighter or infantry, since China and Japan both have horse units.

Muslims: They took all of Northern africa and much of central asia. Big world power. special unit: whatever the opposite of a crusader is.

Austria: cultural powerhouse all throughout post-renessaince Europe. Big military too, and with Hungary, a great choice.

Souix: A civ from civ 2, another american civ. A great recognizable leader.

Poland: A great choice for European scenarios, good counterpoint to Austria, Russia and Germany in Real map scenarios.

What are your six?

First off, Firaxis has allready chosen their 8 civs, the ones that have been 'officialy' announced are; Spanish, Monguls, Vikings, Celts, Ottomans, & Carthage.

As for your civs;
Isreal/Hebrew - Might be the 8th, but unlikely do to 'polital' issues, & the fact that they're so d@mn small.

Korea - Also a good canidate for the 8th civ, & proboly the most likely, but it's TBS market isn't anything special, & we still don't have official conformation. (Oh yah, Japan's Samurai aren't horse units, that's why they don't require horses to build)

Muslims - A little too broad, it's like having a Christian civilization.

Austria - Counts as a part of the German civilization, since the culture's almost identical & they both have the same exact language.

Souix - Counts as part of the Iroquois, since the Iroquois count for all the North American "Indian" tribes.

Poland - An okay choice, although unlikly do to the fact that they haven't had much of an effect on world history, & the average gamer knows next to nothing about them exept that all the supermodels come from there. ('Pole'land. )

Its 8 civs, and the UU evidence almost proves that the Koreans are in

I don't understand why they would just include 7 civs. Sort of a strange thing to have 21 total civs. Maybe for the next one they'll do 9? This makes no sense.

And the ottomans? Carthage? What the hell are these? Do people in Carthage even own PCs?

I guess we were posting at the same time?

My mistake on the civ number.

As for the second comment, just as many people in The Ottoman Empire (Turky) & Carthage (Northern Africa) have computers as people in Japan, Persia, (Iran) & Babylon (Iraq) combined.

Until I see a screenshot with either a Korean city or 'Korean _____' in the bottom right, or Firaxis says that they;re in, I'm not going to say that they're in.

8 is more like it. But I thin that they should add a South American civ like Cuba or Madagascar. Something modern who could have Simone Bolivar or Che' or something.

Cuba's in the Carribian, & Madagascar's an island of the coast of AFRICA!!!

If there's going to be a S. American civ, it's going to be the Incas.

[JtheJackal]

Cuba is North American and Madagascar is African, but I do wish the 8th civ is the Incans or at least the Mayans.

I just remember Bolivar from Colonizing. You guys remember that game. He was cool, and he would definitely be a good leader. How about a Mexico/Bolivar civ?

They already have the Aztecs, just imagine a world map, Aztec's and Mexico's starting locations would be the same place!

But if Korea and Japan are in then they'll be as close as any two civs. Or what about Babylon and Persia and Ottoman and Egypt. They're all close. I still want Bolivia and mexico.

Japan & Korea, Babylon & Persia, & Ottoman & Egypt are a good distance apart. Mexico's capital (Mexico city) was built over the ruins of the Aztecs capital.

I'm just saying that if Mongolia is in, then there's not a lot of room between china mongolia and japan for korea to fit in. But korea would be too bad to leave out. at least as important as poland.
