Brave New World's 9 new Civs

[Laxley]

I said this in the other thread, but the purple/white scheme makes me think of the Iroquois.

This leads me to believe that the Iroquois have been recoloured, and their old grey/tan colour scheme (or one that's too similar to have both in the game) will be used for an unannounced civ, possible another native American one.

Asti the purple and white civ: its culture is obscenely large. Look at the borders of its capital

I'm gunna guess that is a civ that is associated with significant cultural works.

Wikipedia also seems to think there is some significant association between the Carolingians and the colour purple.

Caroligians are pretty much ruled out by the alphabetical list:

Franks - Nope
Francia -Nope
Holy Roman Empire - Nope, thankfully
Caroligians - Nope

One interesting point about the borders and the time though, it looks like the purple civ didn't expand into that vacant land where the Incans (I think) built.

More doubts about the European civ

Venice is a great candidate, but I have other chance, like Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Prussia, among other

Geneva & Serbia are CS. Prussia is Germany.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Mystery Purple Civ has 3 cities, all coastal.

The purple thing is Sioux, purple has always been sioux in civ.

(and yes, made an account just to share that thought )

 

[otaman1]

Which European civ has purple?

 

[Gucumatz]

Well it looks like an island/continent map, 75% of civs tend to spawn near the water on those maps.

Also, the Sioux have pretty much 0 relation with the color purple, so I would venture to guess it isn't the Sioux

 

[Monado]

It can not be the Iroquois though. They haven't taken over the entire continent yet!

Checking previous civ history, (I never played Civ 2 so didn't know this), a light purple color was used for the Sioux in Civ 2 for some inexplicable reason

I am going to retract my guess then, still don't think its the Sioux though

The purple thing is Sioux, purple has always been sioux in civ.

In CivII they were, indeed.

Still, I don't know how conclusive that really is. So were the Indians and the Mongols.

A curveball European civ: Yugoslavia with New Belgrade as capital.

 

[ImperialChaos]

I could be wrong but wasn't Ragusa a part of the Venetian Republic?

 

[Menzies]

I could be wrong but wasn't Ragusa a part of the Venetian Republic?

For a short period of time, they were enemies for much of their history. Could go either way though, but here it seems they aren't going to be part of Venice for the game.

Also, there appears to be a white dot in the middle of Morocco, as though a purple civ's city were stuck in the middle... or am I seeing that wrong.

 

[Gucumatz]

Doesn't that happen normally when you recently have selected a city menu recently?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

That white dot is the currently selected unit.

A curveball European civ: Yugoslavia with New Belgrade as capital.

Would their UA involve crimes against humanity?

 

[Imalich]

Are England and Morocco the same shade of red?
How creative, Firaxis...

And the purple civ only has enormous culture on it's capital city - it could be just that it chose tradition over liberty...

I made a fast search on European purple on flags and such and coundn't find anything of relevance =/
Only found out that the 'Romanian Crown Princess' symbol is purple. Needed to share that out of frustration (of this beign the best thing I found)

 

[Menzies]

Rightyo, just a bit confusing with the white and purple cities nearby and the unit appearing to be the one in the screenshot.

 

[Martin23230]

I'm pretty sure that that can't be a city so close to the Moroccan one.
I think it's the selected unit, specifically the Berber Cavalry shown in the bottom left isn't the one in the middle of the screen, since it doesn't have the selected outline.

Not sure exactly what you're referring to (atrocities during the civil war?), but whatever it is, it hasn't stopped Firaxis from including Germany, Russia, China, Japan, or England. Or France. Or America, the Mongols, the Aztecs…really, who hasn't committed crimes against humanity?
