If you think your civ is good enough to make th cut, and you are disappointed it did, well, say it here! No comments please, just send your civ with a description, links, whatever you need for us to be convinced that your civ should be in the game.

Why yes, I am disappointed that the USA made it into the game. I don't believe I've ever played as them, probably because they get useless UUs or I want to learn a little something about the other civs. Everyone idolizes us, I don't think we needed to be in the game this time.

[/lame jokes]

OOOHH!! That must've been a typo! You mean, DIDN'T make the cut. Ok. Well then. Who didn't make the cut? Heck, I think they've added pretty much every civ that had a population of more than 1 million people this time, so I don't know who's going to respond to this. Maybe Modern Egypt? Not quite the same as the Ancient Egypt, which IS represented.

Why? Uhhhh... cuz they have more than 1 million people? [/not as lame jokes, but still jokes]

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all day.

The Dutch; okay, I'm not totally unbiased :)

But really, if there ever existed something like a literal Golden Age, the Dutch had it in the 17th century:
- they ruled the seas. It was then that Piet Heijn robbed the Spanish of a 'Silver Fleet' which netted the Dutch 12 million guilders (i can't even imagine how much that would be now).
- Battles with Spain, England. Willem III becomes king of England.
- the first share in the world in 1606 (United East-Indian Company; exploration, trade overseas).
- Art: Rembrandt van Rijn paints the Nachtwacht
- Literarature: hotshots Spinoza, Vondel
- Science: discovery of bacteria by Anthony van Leeuwenhoek; Christiaan Huygens discovers the Saturnus moon Titan and proposes that light might be made up of waves
- they were in Civ 3.

Not that I'm not buying the game of course. A bit of change can't hurt.

OK I know this is pointless but here goes:

Bulgarians
-Middle ages:Has two empiers(admited by arabs,franks,Bizantians).Bulgaria maneged many times to defete the bizantian armes.
-Culture - During the rein of SIMEON THE GREAT bulgaria becomes the cultural center of all soutern slaves and later even smaller in terretories still holds that title until the invazion of the ottomans.
