As if I had to ask what their UU could be?
The Windozer, a Giant Death Robot that destroys its opponants by launching a small probe that infects their circuitry with nasty viruses and buggy software!
 
If they were to have sea currents in it, and make the seas a more complex terrain, it would be smart to use seafaring civs like Dutch, Scandinavia, England, Portugal, and thats it i think... :-/ America is gonna be in the game whether u people like it or not... but ill say this. The game isnt just up to the Mid Ages, it has industrial and modern... and america has been the world superpower for nearly all of the modern age.. How could they not be in the game?
 
NO. Q : Where does the game from?
A : America
Q : What is the greatest pool of civ players?
A : America
Q : Name one of the civ that are in.
A : America
America isn't there because of there history, but because that LOTS of americans ill want to say themselves in the game. I'd prefer another civ, but it WILL be in.
 
India and the Mongols are in per references to their leaders ("Gandhi" and "the Khan") in a preview article.
 
It also seems that the Aztecs, Japanese, and Persians are in (according to this thread).
 
Boom. goldflash List.

1. India
2. Mongolia
3. Aztecs
4. Japan
5. Persia
6. Rome
7. Greece
8. Babylon
9. Egypt
10. England
11. France
12. Russia
13. Germany
14. America
15. China
16. Zululand
17. Korea
18. Ottoman Turks
19. Iriquois

Now, however, this point is moot. If Civ 4 will be as moddable as they say it will be, we should eb able to add as amny civs as we want.
 
From the list of great people of toh6wy's link I think we can also confirm Greece (Plato), England (Shakespeare & Newton), Germany or America (Einstein) and Rome (Michelangelo--best fit).
 
As long as Carthage and the usual Civs(England, rome, greece, ya know the first civs that everyone is mentioning) I really couldn't careless who's in the game
 
1 Rome
2 Greece
3 Egypt
4 England
5 Germany
6 France
7 Japan
8 Spain
9 China
10 Russia
11 India
12 Souix
13 Aztecs
14 Babylon
15 Persia
16 Mali/Zulu
17 Mayans
18 Americans
19 Iroquois Federation
 
dont understand why or how u can put americans as a civ... they didnt exist 4000 years ago.. it is a ENGLISH colony more or less that broke out.. would we put canada as a CIV.....
either u have to see the diff. between a nation and a civ.. u cant have both..
 
With the new "Start in any era you want" option there is now an actual reason to have America in the game. The whole 4000BC stuff is now null and void with this new option. Heck with this option you can stick in Canada, Australia, Italy, Poland, Ukraine, Brazil and every other 20th and 21st century countries

Because they are the most powerful military & economic power the world has ever known.

I agree with the principle though - I would love to see Britain as a race, and have the old 'civil war' thing readded to the game, thus allowing the creation of America or Canada or such should the rebellion not be quelled. That won't be around until Civ5+ though.
 
Let See. My Idea is that Firaxis will try to make the game more global, and not so european-centered.
So, let see:

1. Rome
2. Egypt
3. Greece
4. France
5. England
6. Germany
7. Rusia

8. Arabia
9. Mongols
10. Japan
11. China

13. USA
14. Aztecs
15. Incas

16. Zulus
17. Ethiopia
18. Siam
19. India
 
yeah if you re going to base it on ACTUAL civs.. then delete USA ..fro mthe big screen.. and make it more global... for those wanting to play USA they could play England.. and firaxis tryign to make america into some native AMercian nation is ALL BULL.. if you are going to be historical correct.. on the world map theere actually ought to be several antive american natons.. and Aztecs might not be the best example.. .. maybe the best ex. would be Sioux nations.. . ... and thats that and it and final.. historical correct..
 
You can't say America won't be in the game just because it didn't exist before a certain age. Most of the included civs didn't exist in 4000 bc and no civ (maybe except for England in the 1800's) has been more influencial than the US is today.

Now DENMARK is also a great choice for a civ!
"Huh? Denmark? Isn't that a city in Copenhagen? Or Germany?"
Cmon! Denmark has the oldest monarchy in the world! Our queen is descended from Eric the Red! Not like the English who have had all kinds of foreign families ruling them! Bah! I say remove them from the list! So what if they controlled a meager 20% of the world's land surface, DENMARK has ALWAYS been the world superpower. At least in my world.

Because, you know, England ruled the waves in 4000 BC and the Inca had already conquered the Andes. By your logic, only Egypt, India and Sumeria should be in Civ IV.

Not because I like it, but it will be in. see my post above.
