In many of the historical fiction books I've read, the Normans are portrayed as villains, but we have come up with some pretty cool ways they could be played. So I actually could be pretty torn about it unless it was William the Bastard. Then it sucks. But either way it would start with a tantrum like my toddler throws.
I don't think they'd use William if they do the Normans. He's a bit too associated with England and would make the Normans less unique.
They'd probably go with Rollo, Robert the Magnificent or Roger II of Sicily.

oops, duplicate.
I know. I'm probably wrongit just seems a little more likely than Morocco to me. They were both important historically, but Oman fits the trade system better.
I mean, one of the game's designers straight up said "Morocco" during an interview, which is what spawned the speculation.

Oman was hardly obscure!
They fought the Portuguese for decades and founded a powerful trading empire!

Nah, I'd kinda expect a Humphrey Bogart "Casablanca" one. There are just too many "good" lines for them to use.

You know you'd regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But someday and for the rest of your life.

He was a Consul of Rome!
It most likely is Morocco. Leader though is a mystery.
The second civ to be revealed, I'm pretty sure it's Italy. They already hinted it in the achievement list so I think they will reveal it asap so they can leave the last two civs in complete darkness. Considering the time of Scramble for Africa, Italy's unified civilization and the modern theme of Brave New World, I would say they'll go with Victor Emanuel II, Padre della Patria, as the leader for Italy. What do you think?

This is actually the embassator he sent to England.
I would say you're probably right.
Vittorio Emanuele II as leader and the Bersaglieri UU seem logical to me at this point. Seeing as we have no 2 UU civs so far I'd say Italy will have a second UU as well, maybe something from and earlier era, and finally a Great Artists related UA.
True, but I'm worried that the Native American civ might be lacking in facial hair. I'm not worried about the Europeans or Moroccans though and I guess the Asian civ could bring a moustache into the mix.

The stereotyped vision of portuguese women here in Brazil is actually women with moustaches
