All leader portraits

[j51]

I think that this is not in perfect alphabetical order. I bet the second sheet includes a civ or two forgotten on the first sheet. Mainly Persia.

So what do we have between Ru(ssia) and Sp(ain)?
* Saudi-Arabia
* Serbia
* Scotland
* Samoa
* Senegal
* Slovakia
* Slovenia

Just a little brainstorm and very incomplete, of course.

Sassanid Persia
Scythia
Sioux
Shawnee
Siam

I think this is it. It looks like it is a cropped version of that picture.

Makes more sense than having Scandinavia as one civ.

Whoa, the fact that I've never heard of this Civ before, and that the leader looks like a total badass (girl?), that is really interesting

For C5 I have the feeling it is Ertugrul Gazi, who was actually the father of the founder (Osman Gazi) of the Ottoman Empire. For comparison:

It doesn't remind me of a turban though. I can't that good of a picture to back up my claim, but I think it resembles this:

Fended off and killed Cyrus the Great. Super-badass.

As much as I like Poland I feel like it's unlikely in Vanilla

Maybe it's not in vanilla but it sure is in the deluxe edition/Day0DLC.
I'm 100% sure this is the D1 pictue:

 

[DudewiththeFood]

D4 is Sarmatia or Scythia

If there are 18 civs in vanilla, probably the last 4 are not in alphabetical order

Oh I see yeah I see it now

To me the hat looks like it is a börk:

Personally, I'm not convinced E1 is Spain. It kinda looks like Phillip II, but no one has drummed up the exact portrait that's shown.

I believe it's this picture, but slightly cropped.

 

[Inhalaattori]

I REALLY hope its Scythia. Having "Scandinavia" as a Civ would be a HORRIBLE idea.

 

[boghog]

How sure are we that B2 is England? Couldn't B5 be Great Britain. The picture looks like Victoria with her iconic headscarf.

Having "Scandinavia" as a Civ would be a HORRIBLE idea.

I don't see why. Culturally they are pretty similar, it is more horrible to make whole of India a single civ.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

I imagine Scythia would come with some kind of Ancient Wonders type DLC.

 

[anandus]

Someone on Reddit suggested Tomyris of the Scythians for D4: http://takebackhalloween.org/wp-content/uploads/products_img/tomyris_comp.jpg. That would be a pretty interesting newcomer.

I think this is the one!

I don't think this was a slip. They probably knew the poster was in the video, but they underestimated the ability of the lunatics on this board.

No, they are VERY aware of the fact that every pixel in every second will be put under magnifiers.

E1 - ? / Spain - Philip II
E2 - Sumeria - Gilgamesh
E3 - Zulu cat

I'm really hesitant to agree with the Goshute theory. I've done some research, and they were a branch of the Shoshone, and we really don't know all that much about them. I struggled to find anyone who could be a suitable in-game leader for them. The issue is, assuming that it is, in fact, a Native American civ, I can't find any notable ones that sort alphabetically between Germany and Greece. I'm off to do some more digging. Wish me luck.

 

[Kouvb593kdnuewnd]

Im pretty sure one of D5 and E1 is a seperate civilization, I doubt that they made such a big error. One of them could very well be a native american civilization altough the pictures look european.

Isn't it ironic that Ed said in this very video that the team actively visits the forums? So they must be reading this thread as we speak. And maybe admiring our eagle eye for details... or pulling their hair out

Also, I'm glad Gilgamesh is included (if not in vanilla, at least in a DLC). Talk about big personalities!
