It's a game, after all, so I really don't understand the whole "not worthy" argument. Instead of finding the most deserving civ I'd prefer they looked at the overall game mechanics and picked a civs for the sake of greater gameplay diversity. For that reason I'd love to see, for example, a Inuit...

Exactly. Pretty much like saying that an FPS is fine except for all that shooting. (Edit - sorry MonorailCat, that's what I get for not reading a thread through before ranting.) I'd be fine if he explained that it may just not be his cup of tea - but he fails to disclose this and issues his...

Gotta say, it's refreshing to see a gaming company still actively support a title this far down the road and just days before it launches an expansion. Well done Firaxis!

Remembering what he said, gotta agree with the logic that it has to be something so obviously associated with a civilization to be a dead giveaway. So far Sioux/Bison and (to a lesser extent) Inuit/Seals and Belgium/chocolate sound most plausible. If someone said glass would be a resource I'm...

Actually, the more I look at the image (no pun intended) the more of a moorish vibe I pick up - which was also my first impression during the video chat...

Sticking with Italy - look here for columns: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel_del_Monte,_Apulia

Italy - looks like renaissance headgear... http://corsair.morganlibrary.org/icaimages/8/m801.113va.jpg

Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Zulu and Kongo would seem to be a lock given the Scramble for Africa scenario. With Poland confirmed and Assyria highly likely, it's going to be a busy Spring guessing the other two civs...

Just wondering, is this whole discussion still fueled by that single listing in the steam database? Has there ever been any other evidence that there might actually even be another expansion?

My bad then - it did certainly look like the Mayan settler was much smaller. Could just be that I rolled a bunch of kids for the opening graphic in my most recent game.

Just noticed that the Mayan settler retains the RED scaling in the latest version.

Thanks man - great mod!

Nope, I was in fourth place above Spain but below Byzantium (who was in first place).

Well, DoFs are still screwed. Started a new game on Prince as Arabia. I signed one DoF each with Spain and Byzantium. Had friendly relations with each, no agreements with other Civs, no attacking CSs - nothing that would cause my badboy to go up. Then out of the blue on about the 80th turn...

I wish there was updated news too but, c'mon, they said it would be out by Oct. 26 and today is still the 17th. If the promised date comes and goes THEN I'll be seriously miffed...
