I am always confused why people think Tibet isn't an option. It's not controversial history that historical Tibet was a relevant civilization in East Asia... We're talking about 吐蕃, not 西藏! I feel like Portugal is a rather anticlimactic final DLC, as it's such a staple. If there's no more...

I LOVE the idea of an Inuit civilization. They'd really be unique, and would represent a tragically unrepresented region~ I feel like the last Civ of the NFP has to be Portugal. They're an obvious omission as has been stated a million times, and they're an easy female leader. If by the...

Canada, Maya, Kongo, China As someone who H A T E S war, I have so much fun playing as pacifist and culture-oriented civs. Canada makes me feel safe and it's like the only civ I'd ever go for diplomatic victory with. The Maya are so condensed that I feel safe improving my infrastructure and...

I love the ideas for Bhutan as a civ, it sounds really unique and fun! At the same time, Tibet is an entirely different culture, and it was one of the few distinct civilizations to have been relevant in East Asian history, and imo East Asia has far too few representatives for such a robust part...

I agree that Portugal is incredibly likely, being the last transcontinental colonial empire yet to be represented in Civ VI. As for choosing Native American civs, I've always been curious if they would ever include both the Haudenosaunee and the Huron, and let us play out the French and Indian...

But that's the thing though, I would argue that it's not 'pop culture' that influences decisions, but rather that popular historical memory influences decisions. I see the PRC teaching that the 6,000 years of history are the cumulative expression of Chinese identity as more like drawing a line...

I am always baffled by the overwhelming demand for a united Italian civ. I totally understand and personally want representation from the very important and influential Italian city-states, but I feel like Rome has always stood in for the idea of a united Italy/Italian empire and thus adding...

Portugal is the last of the overseas colonial empires to not be included in Civ VI so far, (unless you count bELgiUm) so it seems odd to not include them imo.

The only new maps I could see them adding would be Middle East and Americas maps. If that's the case, I'd guess that the packs would either go: Maya & Colombia; Ethiopia; Babylon & Byzantium (Middle East Map); Portugal; Vietnam & Kublai Khan; Iroquois (Americas Map) or (preferably for me)...

Okay hahaha you're right, I hyperbolized there. Obviously both have historical relevance. World history is the culmination of every interaction between every group of people, so every perspective is important in understanding history. I don't think it's unfair to categorize some Civilizations as...

Semi-Joke Civ: Deseret - Religion and Food-focused desert Civ Capital: Salt Lake City Leader: Brigham Young Civilization Ability: This is the Place - +1 Production, +1 Faith, and +1 Food to all desert tiles - Holy Sites can be built with half the normal production if placed on desert tiles...

I'm curious if people think that they will include another 'meme civ' in this expansion. I would argue that Georgia and Canada were memed into the game by the fandom, as neither is particularly historically relevant, but due to fan pressure were included. (plus Georgia as a unique opportunity...

I'm curious why so many people think that Assyria is more likely than Babylon. Babylon is the only Civ that has been in every previous iteration and has not yet been implemented in Civ 6. Imo it makes the series seem more contiguous and on-brand to continue to have all of the original...
