This is rude and unnecessary. Please stop. I am aware of the Shammuramat/Semiramis connection. As I mentioned previously, "hero" and "icon" is a matter of perspective, and the answer will differ depending on who you ask. I don't care that Semiramis was a Greek myth. People like me want and...

Thank you PhoenicianGold for your comments; I think they were very clear and align much with my own. I will try to stay close to the topic as possible, but I think I would like to clarify some things regarding Semiramis. When I read comments saying that she wasn't famous or well-known, it...

What you just said regarding Semiramis is exactly the backlash that every single woman leader in civ has faced: "only famous for being a woman," "not a great ruler," followed by a list of "approved" male leaders. You conveniently forget that Semiramis has been the subject of art, plays, and...

Important empire or not (and the fact that they are city-states in the first place suggests importance), the fact is that, prior to Vietnam being discovered, there was really only one slot unaccounted for, assuming other fan favorites got in this pass. We are speculating whether a civ gets in in...

Babylon replaced Seoul and city-states that replaced city-states who have been upgraded to civ status have never been upgraded themselves. I only separated Northern Ireland for political reasons. I'm certainly not an expert on Irish history, but if Armagh is significant enough for Ireland then...

Some thoughts focused around existing city-states, apologies if someone has already posted something similar. For the record, I'm simply gauging the likelihood of a city-state become a civilization and not their worthiness. City-states with unique improvements: Armagh (Ireland)* Caguana...

I'd love to be proven wrong and have an African civ. Of those listed, Ashanti have a better chance with all things considered. I think we should also think about the categories the remaining civs will fall into and what victory condition they will prioritize. Korea - Scientific; science...

Inca and the Ottomans seem like obvious picks, both probably led by men. As was mentioned, would need to have at least 2 more women leaders to have the men/women ratio be 5:4, which I assume is what the devs are aiming for, what with their message about inclusion and all that (which I wholly...

:cool:

I wonder if any of the civs will have a unique district to replace the government plaza since the reflecting pool and central circular courtyard area seem like a likely spot to place some unique structure. It would need to be a particularly special plaza with some recognizable structure since...

About a minute in. I think it's safe to say, based on the scale, that it is a wonder. Edit: built before Siege Tactics and Humanism.

Hello, just wanted to mention that the "New Holy Site Worship Building" on your Analyst website for the Rise and Fall expansion is actually the Dar-e Mehr introduced in the Fall 2017 update.

The scale for the bottom row of that picture bothers me and everything looks a bit too big... Compare the scale of the Delicate Arch with other 1-tile natural wonders, or even the size of that truck to other units and they seem scaled up.

Another example of Tunisian Architecture (Great Mosque of Kairouan) which matches pretty well with the facade of the mystery building placed side by side: Again, I don't think its the actual Mosque itself due to other inconsistencies (lack of minaret, etc). I agree that the scale leans towards...

Going to go out on a limb here and say it looks like the Sousse Ribat (picture is a model). Crenelations, dome, and watchtower. That being said, I don't think its the Sousse Ribat, too many inconsistencies, but perhaps a unique improvement to represent these types of fortifications which...
