Brave New World's 9 new Civs

[Seek]

Tunisia? Their theme could be this, lol!

On a serious note, it wouldn't surprise me if Arabia got the Kasbah UI. Still holding out hope for Indonesia.

 

[AessaSH]

Umm ... Algeria. That's all I can think of. It might be a UI for Arabia or Morocco.

Well.., based on archievement list.., there is no civ between Assyria and Brazil..

The Hittites aren't from Mesopotamia.

Mesopotamia only really equals the Tigris–Euphrates river system or at most the extent of the fertile-crescent area. It does not include Anatolia, so the Hittites are not from Mesopotamia. Furthermore, the Hittites were Indo-European, while all those other civs were Afro-Asiatic stock, meaning the Hittites were a completely different cultural and linguistic heritage than all the Mesopotamian civs.

Meant to say Mediterranean. I confuse words when typing fast. Not healthy.

Far East, specifically.

*This is the reason why I think the leader of Morocco should be a leader form the medieval time or the early mordern time: this was a time in which Morocco was a major player on the political map. Thats why I think Abd al-Rahman should not be the're leader. He successfully defended his state, he did not expand it. It would be like choosing a leader from the Palaiologan dynasty for Byzantium instead of Justinian, Basil, Constantine... or Theodora.

We do have Boudicca leading the Celts and she didn't even successfully defend her lands.

I can't really which is why I postulate a madeover Arabia as the alternative theory for the "kasbah".

Interesting idea. If the "kasbah" is indeed the new UI for a remade Arabria instead of Morocco then the civ lists would look very different.
We'd have two civ alphabetically situated between B and P. Let's assume it's Indonesia and Italy. Then we also have two civs between P and Z. One of them could be the Sioux/Shawnee/some other NA tribe, but which other civ would fit between P and Z.
Vietnam maybe?
Timurids?

Assyria
Brazil

Poland

[ehecatzin]

Pueblo and Mexico could fit

Perhaps Vietnam if Indonesia isn't in the game as Srivijaya. The Timurids were ruled out with a Silk Road achievement.

The only thing is you would think because of the Scramble scenario that were would at least be another African civ

 

[cybrxkhan]

The Kasbah looks rather North African instead of Arabic, though, right? Didn't the devs say the improvement on the poster hinted specifically at a new civ, or did they just say it hinted at new stuff in a vague sense?

If Morocco isn't in then Indonesia has a better chance, though I wouldn't know how the schematics would work out then... So if we were to simply assume Morocco isn't in, and the "Kasbah" is some sort of UI or UB for an existing Middle Eastern civ (though frankly I dunno which one it would fit in - none of the current civs really need replacing):

Assyria
Brazil
(Indonesia)
(Italy)
Poland
Portugal
(Sioux/Shawnee/Seminole)
(Dark Horse)
Zulu

So one dark horse civ then.


All in all, though, while the evidence for Morocco is not definite nor absolute, I do feel like it is pretty good given what we have.

 

[DiogenesK9]

If they are releasing DLC packs in-between Expansions, I would like to see the following civs in those DLCs:

- Armenia
- Bulgaria
- Hittites
- Indonesia (if it's not in BNW already)
- Kongo
- Sumeria
- Swahili

I would be happy with this list too.

If the achievement list conclusion is valid then it's a severe disappointment to me that Armenia is out. That omission has confused me from the beginning.

 

[SnowKomodo]

Yeah. Since we're not really getting any new hints I'm just assuming Morocco is in until proven otherwise

 

[phaethon16]

I actually like the Swahili as city-states, and I'd rather have Hungary than Bulgaria. Armenia would be a cool 3rd expansion civ though.

 

[Dragonflow]

Hungary might still be in BNW, their chances are roughly as good as anybody else's.

 

[mitsho]

And the thread spins onto itself. Don't we have a thread for those in the suggestion forums? With DLC, we'd need to know how well they sold for them and I guess that would be of big importance for the choice of DLC civs as well (so, Hittites are unlikely since I can't imagine them selling particularly good, Sumeria maybe would though, so in a double pack?). Or they go for many civ DLC packs.

Spoiler :

Nevertheless, my list would be, assuming the lineup for BNW is Native American Civ, Morocco, Indonesia and Venice:

1 Australia
2 Inuit
3 Israel
4 Tibet
5 Vietnam
6 Congo (unlikely due to the above stated rule I know)
7 Ancient or South American civ

 

[Drucifer]

My Best Guess:

Assyria
Brazil
(Holy Rome/Italy - New Culture overhaul leads me to believe that there's no way Italy is left out)
(Morocco - Possible Hints suggest its in)
Poland
Portugal
(Sioux - Native American tribe, one of the few between P and Z left)
(South Africa - fits with scramble with Africa scenario and new tourism/trade route features)
Zulu

Hopefully we can get Israel, Indonesia, Canada, Mexico, Kongo, Hittites, and Phoenicians in a final expansion pack later that overhauls science and domination victories.

 

[Nujabes]

South Africa is definitely not in with the Zulu in and the Boers as a scenario only. Congo won't be in either, especially since Kongo, a far more preferable choice, is represented by a city-state.

 

[MAHRana]

I would be happy with this list too.

Agree (they could appear as Urartu but doubt it). Same goes with Sumer, the Hittites and even Elam.

 

[Inhalaattori]

South Africa wont be in. Im 99,9999% certain about this.

 

[otaman1]

South Africa wont be in. Im 99,9999% certain about this.

Of course. Cape Town is a CS

 

[Leugi]

Hmn... so let's see... I'll assume Morocco is in, the Kasbah is very convincing... This is my bet...

Assyria
Brazil
Inuit
Morocco
Poland
Portugal
Vietnam
Venice
Zulu

Now, this is my little problem, Italy has more chances than Venice itself, but that would likely mean no Inuit then ... But, in that case:
Assyria
Brazil
Italy
Morocco
Poland
Portugal
Sioux
Vietnam
Zulu

I hope is my first option really...

Oh, and this also means, no Argentina this time around...
