“The Native Americans” is awful. However, de-blobbing some Civ mainstays is not in the interest of the devs. I’ve always felt that the average player likes to think of think of this game as an opportunity to recreate history with a collection of the greatest civs in history, led by some of the...

Dihya is really interesting because in addition to being female I also remember looking at someone’s graphic that showed late antiquity/dark age as being totally underrepresented in the game. Great possibility it is her. I think this may completely blow any of our assumptions on civs this year...

What I think this does is drastically increase the probability that there is going to be content beyond this pass. I don’t see a scenario where they leave out Byzantines, Babylon/Assyria, Portugal, and another NA civ, unless this means Vietnam is out.

I’m pretty convinced it will be a Mongolia or Netherlands alt leader at this point, but is there a possibility that there is some type of mechanic that a RF leader uses, which is not in the game code unless you have RF, which this new leader’s mechanics might build upon? Forgive the ignorance...

Ah, I wasn’t aware that GS did that. Unless the Manchu were a different civ, a concept which Chinese discourse rejects. The Chinese would only theoretically approve of a Qing ruler of China.

I’m sure I’m lacking an understanding of the technical relationship here, but does that necessarily have to mean it’s an alt leader for a civ from that expansion? Couldn’t it be a different component from the expansion?

Seems like everyone is guessing Kublai as the alt leader, but I would love a Sassanid era Persia alternative. Could make for a great combo with Byzantines for the 5th pack.

Zaarin, just curious, are you a professor of history?

Maybe in a future game, was more my thinking.

Akkad led by sargon!

Could be both too, I do like dromons as well. I was just thinking of Italian wars that occurred during Justinian’s reign so my mind went to a land unit. Would they do varangian guard if humankind has also done that? The Italian-heavy city state list is more of a product of my guess that Italy...

Putting in a guess just for fun, and in the case that I’m right: I do think Vatican is a bad sign for Italy. Mayans will have Lady Six Skies and I’m going to go with Holkan spearman that also has a ranged attack. And I guess for GC somebody saw a cavalry unit? Pack 3: To continue with their...

Lol can someone explain the “Wish you were here” dedication? I guess Firaxis are Pink Floyd fans?

Happy Scotland day everyone!

Could be, how many do we have? Or a district? I don’t think they’ve added a unique 3rd tier religious building so that would be cool if converted foreign cities could build your UI, but I guess potentially problematic
