    That's a cool idea, shame it can't be done now without a rules change.

      Personally I'd like some of the nations involved in recent skirmishes like Serbia-Croatia, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. (Yea I know Iraq is Arabs)... I prefer a more historically accurate Civ and wouldn't mind putting the Yugoslavia skirmish down myself...

        Honestly, I tried to complete your poll, but I just couldn't. There are only one or two civs missing now that PTW is coming out in my opinion, namely the Inca (we need a civ in south america, no?) and another one to fill out west africa.

        I mean, really, can Poland, Canada, Brazil etc. really be considered as civilizations? To me they are modern nation-states, nothing more. Yes, some would also say this about Germany, England etc., but they have their roots going back a thousand years or more, and have both played a huge part in world history since then, as well as fighting some of history's most devestating wars.

        To be honest, I could live without any new civs after PTW comes out. To me, the biggest things missing now are farms and more military units. That's it.

        Just my two cents.....

              It doesn't matter too much in terms of civ3, does it?

              IMHO, if you want, you should be able to make a scenario with Serbs and Croats and Iraq and whatever else you want to.

                      I would suspect that Firaxis includes another African civ such as Songhai or Mali and then perhaps the Poles, Portugese, and Khmer. It's difficult to say who will be in past the shoe-ins, given such a large number of civs to choose from.
                      My sentiments exactly.

                        The Byzantine capital should be Byzantium, not Constantinople. Yes I know it's the same city, but the name is important.

                        Also, there's no way the Dutch should be Exp./Scientific. They HAVE to be Commercial, it's what they were known for. Their economy kicked arse back in the day.

                          no more xp plz

                          but if there is another one, add max of 3 civ and focus on other features... i dont want firaxis to pretend they added a whole boat load of feature by making excess civ that posibly cant have different trait that existing ones have. besides some people prefer to mod civs w/o taking out existin civs so maxing out civ # for next xp = bad idea.

                          Incas are the only civ that could possibly have legitimate reason to be in.
                          1. they are cool civ (although rest are cool too)
                          2. geographic. (south america)
                          3. Balances cultural link (Need more american culture)
                          :-p

                            The Dutch have a very legitimate reason to be in the game. I'm surprised they're not already.

                                Nope, I'm a Kansan.
                                Poland has been a prominent world power at several times in world history. There's no way you can classify them with "civs" like the Canadians or Brazillians.
