well great, the Byzantines are in, but they, like so many civs, are wrong.
this is only the tip of the iceberg.
many of us loyal devotees of the franchise of civ have had many a grteat expectation for the upcomeing x-pac, and not least amoung them, dare I say first, and foremost in fact, is actual historical accuracy in the game, this is somthing, that you have proved, and are still proving to us, is a subject in which you apperntlly take NO heed in thinking about.
First we find that your appernt choices of civ are...misguided, to say the least, the ONLY two civs trully deserving of being there are the Byzantines, and the Inca, and now, with more info on Byzantium coming out, you show that your ONLY goal was to please fans in name, not form, nor function.
To epitomize your appernt lack of reaserch, i will take the one thing in which i have shown to all to be my subject most dear in terms of this game, the Byzantine empire.
Now first off, i have no dea if my arguments trully influenced your choice in choosing them or not, but regardless of this, I plead you take heed,as I think most here regard me as educated on this empire, and indeed I am, and it is not to late to correct at least this mistake.
it is not that i am wanting to get rid of theodora, keep her if you want your "politcal correctness" that no one actually gives a flying flip about anyway, no even as a schoalr of Byzantium, who knows that ONLY Heraclius I deserves to be the leader of Byzantium can take, but there is one HUGE mistake- the dromon.
the dromon has NO historical presidence for being a unit to represent Byzantium, and to say this is the greates blunder you have yet made in your UU choices is no understaement- even the American, british, and Korean UUs' have something which merits there being there civs UU, and yet the fireship, or "dromon" as you choose to call it (which is not even the right name I remind you, as the Drmons were little more then scouting/anti pirating vesslas)
no the ONLY choice that could even be considerd realisticlly is the cataphract heavey cavalry, after all, how many great admerals do hear of commanding the fireships?-NONE, how many conquests have hinged on the fireship?-NONE, and yet the most important wars of the Byzantine empire were fought on land, and by the Cataphracts- it were they who drove into the heart of persia to destroy that foul empire, and place the true ruler of it on throne (and gain persia as a Byzantine ally i might add) in the name of Heraclius I, it was they who led the Byzantine recounquest of the west, under the great generals Belisarius, and Narse, the greatest generals of the time.It was they who reconqoured the land south of the Danube for Byzantium, not some ship!
I plead with you, for atleast this civ, make a choice based on FUN. and HISTORICLE ACCURACY
