The CFC's Choice Beyond the Sword Civilization Thread

Friends, Civ Fanatics, other countrymen, lend me your eyes.

There's been a lot of suggestions for civs in BTS flying around lately. So let's settle the matter democratically. What new civilizations do you think should be in BTS?

You get 7 votes (there will be ten in the xp and three - Babylon, Portugal and Netherlands - are more or less confirmed.) Number 1 on your list get 7 points, number 2 gets 6 points, and so on.

Voting closes Friday 13th April, at noon Australian Eastern Standard Time (or 2 am GMT)

Edit: please name a specific civ. Something like "a civ from Southeast Asia" won't do.
Edit: also don't vote for the Sioux/Plain Indians/Dakota. They're probably in the game.

Votes that do not conform to the rules will be ignored.

wait... isn't Native Americans confirmed?
see http://www.firaxis.com/games/game_detail.php?gameid=16

Good idea. Should it be 6 or 7 civs since there'll probably be a native-plains American civ? I wouldn't include such a civ in my top seven normally.

1) Austria - preferably not Austria-Hungary.
2) Hittites/Sumeria
3) South east Asian civ - probably the Khmer
4) Abyssinia
5) Sumeria/Hittites
6) Polynesians
7) ...

Subject to editing before voting deadline.

there are same threads already. i think it's enough but my pick will be:
Poland
Canada
Austria
Brazil

1) Khmer
2) Chimu
3) Ethiopia
4) Polynesia
5) Kongo
6) Armenia


EDIT: Removed Austria due to the Native American civ's probable appearance.

1. Austria
2. Poland
3. Israel
4. Maya
5. Nubia
6. Khmer
7. Ethiopia

Since the Sioux is all but officially confirmed we kinda only have 6 votes. For me they would be:

1. Maya
2. Byzantine
3. Nubia
4. Ethiopia
5. Austria
6. Brazil

Actually, if Maya is indeed in alongside Babylon, I really don't care what the other 8 civs are

Poland

Native American

Considering the Post Gunpowder Age game concept...

1) Austria
2) Poland

3) Babylon
4) Maya
5) Sioux
6) Hitties

My six are:
1. Byzantium
2. Sumeria
3. Ethiopia / Nubia
