What additional civilizations would you like to see in Civilization V - a.k.a. what are the civs you would most likely buy?

I tried to make the poll in a way, that all the most popular/likely civs are there as a separate option, while additional civs from similar regions are grouped together - probably the poll will be most representative this way
Of course I could only group together the ones that I find less popular and/or less important and/or or less likely to be included. So it's inevitable that it's more or less subjective - but I tried my best...
(note that polls are limited in 25 options)

For example Europe is overrepresented, so even if there are many candidates, I only put there the most important remaining civs as a separate option
Africa clearly has much more room and also has plenty left out significant civs, so it has more separate options

Note that I created two similar polls with these civs. This one has multiple choices, the other is a single choice poll.
So, this multiple choice poll is more or less about the civs you would most likely buy in a DLC or in a second expansion - all the civs you would gladly see in the game
The other single choice poll is about your favourite missing civ, more or less about the best civ to add
It will be very interesting to compare the two different results

Link to the twin poll:

I voted for Sumer, other North American Civ (Mississippians among others), Kongo, Zulu (I caved), Zimbabwe, Morocco, Khmer, Indonesia.
 
I realise that some of the ones that I voted for are probably a long shot, but they were, nonetheless:

Pheonicia, Other Middle-Eastern (Georgia and Israel, specifically), Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Other European (the Papal States, specifically), the Zulu, Morocco, Indonesia, the Khazars, Tibet and Brazil.

Yeah, it was really surprising to see you vote on Zulu :lol:

Another interesting thing is that Janboruta voted for "A different middle-eastern civ" on the single poll, while he didn't vote for that option on the multiple poll
I didn't think there will be any case like this, thought someone's best civ vote will always be included in the civs I would like to get poll too ;)
 
Well, since I am from Indonesia, I'd love to have Indonesia in game, as Indonesia. Not as Majapahit or Srivijaya.

Other than this nationality-bias, I vote for native North and South American, and African states.

No more European states, please.

I think they'd be fun, which is why I voted for them. Plus, I expect them to be in eventually no matter what. I hope for new civs because they are more interesting, but I think they can make the Zulu interesting.
 
I'm pretty much happy with whatever, so long as it's unique enough. I guess my vote would be for all of them, though I would prefer some over others.

No need for explanations, I myself almost voted for them too in the end :lol:
Their "legacy" in civ series is just huge

You can always vote for only those - IMO it fits the concept that way too
We need much more votes to make the poll representative
 
For me it'd be; Kongo, Indonesia, another Native American (Mississippi fe.) and the Khazars or Timurids.
 
I clicked "other middleeastern Civ (Assyria)", Portugal, Kongo, Indonesia, A different S. Asia Civ (Dai Viet), Tibet, Brazil and Other Colonial or Modern Civ, (Aust, Canada, SA (Boer Republics, Zulus, with a Boer War/Zulu War scenario)).

I'd be happy with any of them. Dai Viet would be much appreciated since they've never been in the game.
 
Puebloan is the best choice for an additional North American civilization especially now with religion entered as a dynamic. Plains Indians = something with horses and we have tons of that.

Puebloans would have some UB (kiva) working with faith/culture boost and a UA that helps with food production somehow. Add corn as a bonus resource and tie it to that.

I could just be biased (I live in the 4 corners region and have been to most of the ancient puebloan sites a number of times).

Mauryan Empire is also a good addition for an earlier civ. representing the Asian subcontinent.

Portugal/Kongo/seems like a cool DLC combo pack.

Bantu's representing early Africa would also be interesting, something to give them an iron/agricultural boost.

Yeah, I wanted to have both Assyria and Vietnam as separate options
Unfortunately there wasn't enough room
 
Indonesia, Kongo, Tibet, Portugal, Argentina, Sioux.

Zulu being in most of the games I feel was like some sort of running joke which, if ends with Civ 5, I'm fine with.
 
My votes: Sumer, Hittities, Phoenicia, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, other European (Medieval Lithuania, Serbia, Bulgaria), other North American (Mississippi, Navajo, Pueblo), Kongo, Zulu and Khazars. I forgot to check Other Middle Eastern, with emphasis on Ancent civs like Assyria, Georgia and Armenia.
 
Only in the same way America and England are the same.
 
Before forums devoted to civ, I'd never heard of the Majapahit. Yet here they are, the most popular choice.
 
I love to play ancient civs. So I voted Sumer, Hitties and Phoenicia. I missed "other Middle-Eastern civs", as they include other ancient ones.

And then, I voted Zulu. Not, because I think they "deserve" it to be in CiV due to their real historical importance (this is a questionable argument for me anyway), but because of their history in *civ-games*!
 
my votes are obviously visible, so i'm not going to bother going over the specifically listed ones, just the others.
i voted for other middle eastern and i'd like to see assyria and israel, even though those may never be civs. i haven't really given much thought about armenia, but that would be cool, too.
i also voted other african. kanem bornu would be a cool trade rival for some of the trade civs now.
i didn't vote other central asian or native american, but there are some good choices there, too, like khazars and inuits.
i also didn't vote other southeast asian. vietnam would probably be a better choice for civ 6's southeast asian civilization.
i don't really care about the other "others"
