Usually the dlc's civilizations have some sort of scenario . What kind of scenario both of them could fit into?
I can't remember the exact name, but there were some wars involving rights to the Congo basin that Portugal, Kongo and Dutch fought in
Those are more classical civs than ancient civs (in civ5 tech tier speak). (While Carthage and the Celts do gay way back, though).Carthage? Celts? Huns? Byzantines?
True. And the buildings: Granary, monument, stone works, library, barracks, shrine(?).True Ancient Era civs are boring, because they are really limited as to options. You can have replacements for Warriors or Archers or Chariots, and that's about it.
the last one:
My guess for the last spot:
Hittites. Why: there are no ancient civs included yet in the expansion. They have made an appearance in the series. Sumeria likely would sell better as a DLC/2nd expansion civ.
I'd really like them to add the Hittites, but they would either have to be an Ancient-era aggressive Civ (of which there are already plenty) or something very defensive, like Babylon but without the science bonus. Not sure they'll go down that route when they've already added one Civ geared at Ancient-era rushing (the Huns).
Don't forget that there's already a Civ with defensive bonus,without science bonus(Ethiopia) .
Yeah, I know - I meant another defensive Civ from the Ancient era specifically. Ethiopia look Industrial/Modern to me.
But Ethiopia can't be Industrial/Modern,because even the old book of Bible mention them .
Portugal made friendly contact with Kongo and there was a great interchange of trade, with Kongo adopting Christianity and even the king Nzinga Mbemba receiving a portugues name and title and sending his son to live in Lisbon.
Later, they had a falling out over the slave trade, and it led to war. Kongo was eventually overcome by the superior-tech of the portuguese.
