Not in another thread, but in another game, if you ask me. Civilization had, has and probably will ever have a predefined tech tree.
Haha, I totally agree with you. Your idea is great!

Name me a non-generic leader name and a city list that has more than one entry without going to English names of archaelogical sites. The Uniques would also be very standard named. My point is there is quite frankly not enough information on them. It's bad if you make stuff up. Now take the Comanche (or Anaszasi or Navajo or even Sioux), where it's quite easy to find all this information and create a civ that is fun to play.
Thus, Cahokia is imho perfect as a City State.
As for Majapahit vs. Indonesia, you can have the former but name it Indonesia without problems. The latter name is familiar while the usual player will go "he?" over Majapahit.
I was under the impression that the Majapahit were long gone before the Portuguese and Dutch arrived. Islam swept over Java, relegated Hindu culture to Bali, and turned the islands into various sultanates. It would fit better into a hypothetical "Spread of Islam" instead of some sort of colonial scenario.
For me, Brazil has had a rich history on par with the US in terms of colonization, immigration, and frontier life. It is less similar to Portugal than the US is to England, so it simply isn't a substitute for Portugal. I don't deny what you wrote is true, but it is just as true that American success is also a legacy of British institutions. And like the US, Brazil has been a melting pot that has given the world much, especially in the arts.
Am I the only one on here who doesn't care what the new Civs are. I'm far, far more interested in new game mechanics that affect all Civs than anything else (including new tech tree changes / new generic units etc).
It's getting hotter ^^.
Gamefront picked the news up from neogaf and it's also on reddit.
Edit: And another, smaller link from Hardcoregamer.com.

Mali and Ghana please!
I want Mali to be another gold focused civ. Maybe more reliable than Spain and Songhai's gold. Something focusing on mining operations perhaps.
And as for mechanics, more Wonders that actually require action to be used. Something akin to the UN and Apostolic Palace from Civ IV. Weve got so many generic "passive" Wonders right now.
Also a fix to the disheveled multiplayer.
Looking forward to this
when I think of "One World":
- an exchange rate for resources would be nice. No more haggling. A simple chart would do.
- a colony system, where new cities can operate similarly to puppet ones. Anger them, or fail to upkeep them, and they break away
- airports, canals, mountain tunnels, some kind of later-game scout unit. Faster travel all-around.
- migration and refugees. A stability rating for each city that acts as push-pull factor for populations
- proxy wars, or somehow getting city-states and "colonies" to fight for your or acquire resources for you.
- more barbarians: pirates, anarchists, guerrillas
I've developed a sudden fascination with the Ashanti myself. They traded gold to the Songhai and slaves to Portugal and then Britain and France, thus enabling the colonization of the Americas before finally succumbing to European colonialism when Africa came into play. They could be a sub-Saharan non-muslim African civ with a military/economic focus. They had European firearms and used them in the European fashion, but with greater emphasis on mobility in combat. They also employed medics on the field of battle, which was innovative in its time and place. They fielded an army larger than the Zulu, and resisted British interests for longer. I think they could trade population for money or military units as a UA and have Slave Markets as a UB, producing +1 production and +1 gold during times of war, and have a musket UU that starts with medic and +1 movement.

But at least Gamespy links to here .
A link back from reddit would be nice though...
