9th Civ: It's Sweden

[Gintoki89]

Its the ZULU!

Clearly Shaka just decided to grab his nice pair of fancy pants and his cane and had to put on a pair of flesh-colored gloves to match. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

The stick the guy is holding gives it all away.

STORMAKTSTIDEN.

Part of me hopes that the fully revealed picture will be a painting of Gustav Adolphus but with Shaka's face poorly photoshopped onto it, with the message 'Hah! Fooled you - the 9th Civ was the Zulu all along!'.

In all serious though, I'm happy with Sweden being included, although I do think this expansion was a bit Europe heavy overall. Hopefully we'll get a bunch of non-European Civs in the DLC.

If Sweden is the 9th Civ,can someone explain to me which civ owns that green color that appeared in the southern part of the map during the demo on PAX? Green color doesn't have anything related to Sweden .

Isn't that unclaimed land

I think Sweden will make very interesting Civ. There are in fact lots of opportunities for interesting UUs and UA.

Sweden is a new civ, which is the most important at least for me. Zulu as a last Civ would have been an epic fail in my opinion.

Possible DLC: Kongo, Zulu, Portugal, Poland

zulu for sure lol

Shaka has red beard?

 

[Oohforf]

Didn't Gustavus have reddish/auburn hair?

Based on pictures, at least.

And that sash that he seems to be wearing reminds me of The Three Crowns:

Ah yes, with that red beard it has to be Shaka.

THE KING IN THE NORTH, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Sweden!

For my ancestors! For the Lion! For the Protestant faith and a dinky little colony in Delaware!

Whew, I guess I'm actually excited after all?

 

[WillBill]

ive been ironic.. sweden for sure

 

[Gucumatz]

Ah yes, with that red beard it has to be Shaka.

The armour gave it away. And the actual civilization, lol I love the Zulu mocks.

You can destroy them soon in a DLC scenario hopefully! Yes It is a nice pic of him.

a dinky little colony in Delaware!

Woot! Delaware!

New civ leader is clearly another female leader.

 

[Rocktwig]

Is it Queen Nzinga of the Congo?

Just kidding. Yaaaayyyy I'll be one of the few here to spread some positivity for including Sweden To all haters: this brings great opportunity for Non-European civs to be included for future DLC. Like someone said earlier, there are so many likely civs not yet included that we almost have enough civs even for a new XP.
