The Finno-Ugric Tribes were spread as far and wide from Central Europe to Northern Asia. They moved from the British Isles to Norway during the Ice-age. And to this day there are a few people at the Japanese sea that speak a Finno-Ugric language. There are multiple Tribes in Siberia still remaining. It is clear that these Tribes were massive in territory and some of the first Europeans. This is why I think/feel Finland should have a chance in Civ. Well at least this is my argument for them.
Finland was somewhat left alone during the Viking eras. This might be because the Vikings thought the Finns where Shamans and magicians, and gave them some respect (The western cost was still raided).
The Finish culture is probably the only reason it stands today, since it has been under the rule of Sweden and Russia and nether could assimilate them even though they tried.
So here's some random ideas.
Forest, lake, Swamp start bias.
Historical Agenda - Peace keepers. Hates wars and will economically support the country under threat, giving them luxuries and gold maybe units(if in good relations) as support but wont join the war.
Civilization Ability: If a technology has been researched by someone before them they get a discount on the technology. Also a defencive bonus in and close to there borders.
Possible leaders: Mannerheim, Kekkonen, Paasikivi.
Unique Units: Hakkapeliitta or Jääkäri
Unique Building: Papermill replaces Factory and gives production/gold from wood. This could be Kekkonen's Unique Building as it is in Hypereon's Civ5 Finland mod.
Unique Tile Improvement: Mökki/Sauna. Must be built next to forest and cant be built next to one another, bonus if built next to a lake. Gives culture and amenities.
Finland could be a culture Civ without the fear of falling too behind in tech and buy time till the late game when the forests would turn into economic power tiles.
I would really like it if they ever got into Civ. Do you think there is a chance? Let me know what you would change or just bounce some ideas for fun. Thanks!
