Oh. I forgot Malta. Presumably they would make a good candidate for a new City-State...

Sumer and the Hitties have a completed drawn map that's never even used in the scenario but still in the files. But yeah, the biggest indication is the constant database error when you start a normal game, looking for the art files for the Sumer and Hittite units. The game doesn't look for the unique unit graphics used in other scenarios (the Vikings for instance).

I feel the science victory and combat victories could really get a BAMF! In their own expansions.I honestly believe that there are easily enough civs worthy of being included in the game to make at least another expansion and a run of DLC. At this point I don't mind how Firaxis go about releasing it though - as long as they continue to release content after BNW, I'll be very happy. In my opinion, the more civs (and leaders) to choose from, the better.
I realise that not everyone wants to see more civs in the game though, for various reasons (not knowing much about their culture, thinking they 'dilute' the appearance of more major/well-known civs, or simply not being interested in them, etc.), which I can understand. However, it'd be very easy for these people to simply alter a couple of values in the game files so that the AI can't pick the civs they don't want to see in game. It's much harder and more time-consuming to produce all the coding and graphics required to add a civ as a mod, so in my opinion, the more Firaxis adds for us, the better.
I like to think that there will be another expansion for three main reasons:
(1) maximizing profit
(2) there is still much to be improved in the game (espionage, modern era, diplomacy, etc.)
(3) AI
I think Firaxis is aware that EVERYONE complains of the AI. I hope they are working on a new AI system that will blow us away. However, the new AI logic makes the most sense as the foundation of Civ6, not as a development within CiV. And since it will likely take YEARS to get the AI to the point that it will "blow us away." The best thing to do in the meantime is to release another expansion of CiV. After all, there's still plenty of room for improvement - certainly enough to justify another expansion.
- If there were DLC following Beyond the Sword, Civ VI may be released around late 2016 (~September release)
If there were new DLC after BNW, it would be interesting to see if they made that DLC reliant on having BNW. On the one hand, you don't want to prevent potential buyers from grabbing it due to not having BNW; on the other, it might just give a nudge to those considering buying BNW to do so as there's extra content for it. They could just do what the DLC packs currently do, which is be available for use with vanilla with extra files for G&K needs such as spy names.
There are some DLC packs I would love to see. One would be an updated ancient wonders scenario with the Hittites and Sumerians as full civilizations and perhaps some ancient world natural wonders. A second pack would include another Native American civilization (hopefully one or two will be added in BNW), and then have a cracking Colonization-type scenario where you could play as either one of the European civilizations or as one of the natives. The third pack would be an "enemies of Rome" pack, including Illyria and the Gauls, with a couple of Roman-based scenarios.
I appreciate that these aren't everyone's "cup of tea" but they sure are mine !
Canada can come too?I think there is pretty much no chance that Sumeria and the Hittities will arrive as a DLC.
When discussing the Pueblo, they mention that this is the first time with Civ 5 that they had to cancel a leader. If it is the first time and had serious consideration of adding those civs, why didn't they ever bother to seriously add them? Why would they prefer to add Babylonia and Assyria first?
How much I would like to see more DLC, I for some reason have a feeling we will not be seeing anything and that they will move on to working out plans for Civ 6. You can't really blaim them, 43 civs already is quite a lot. Some extra funds could be a consideration but them you might be getting issues of how to implement new civs; the main argument for them seems to be a different type of playing. And there are not many fan favourite civs (pretty much only Portugal and Zulu are left and they are highly likely to be included in BNW) left that would guarantee good sales.
But I hope I'm wrong.
