SO... now that the info is mostly certain thanks to the Civilopedia screenshots, I hereby declare this thread obsolete, we can go and debate Venice on the Venetian thread now (and so the Shoshone).
So... the Hypercube Civ is definitively Venice, and its a OCC civ, although we may have not guessed the Merchants may Puppet Cities bit,there were many betting to a Venetian OCC, so those will win, and of course all that before page 37 when the leaking rumors started. A list of winners:
Some winning, and almost too close (as in almost guessing that Venice would buy in other cities), quotes:
So, kudos for everyone who guessed an OCC Venice, you get a Venetian Marzipan Rainbow Cookie!... A minute of silence for the hopes of a Canal-Sea Venice, a Nomadic-Moving Cities Tribe, Barbarian civ hopes and the Custom-civ...
So... close the thread now that there are threds for Venice and Shoshone?

Spoiler :
Eagle Pursuit, baptismbyfire, HottiePippen, Gucumatz, PhilBowles, vra379971, Rajul, baghdad, Alatan, alpha2117, Montov, Fummy, King William I, codepoet
Some winning, and almost too close (as in almost guessing that Venice would buy in other cities), quotes:
Eagle Pursuit said:I think it's either Venice that only expands through some sort of new mechanic (city flipping via trade or something).
Gucumatz said:I doubt its a fictional civ either . Just not what Civ is. I am pretty sure the hypercube is supposed to be Venice, considering the German, PCGamer reviews, and now this.
Question is what...
I doubt its glass, not out of the box enough. Perhaps conquest of cities by tourism/trade, instead of actual combat? Units would be only to defend lands/sack great works?
Alatan said:Venice
You can produce units in Allied City States and you gain X % of their culture, science, faith and gold scaling down by the number of your cities.
Grow your empire with trade and diplomacy !
alpha2117 said:Venice - with some sort of land reclamation ability or Buying CS's (no settlers at all).
