Right to rule is such a common phrase and concept that it could fit for anyone: divine right, constitutional monarchies, parliaments, elective monarchies, god kings...
"Modern" encompassing every part of the British Empire from the Stuart period through post-WW2, including the height of the empire when they occupied India, much of Africa, and much of the Mideast, I'd say yes.
At this point I could see a Colonial Headquarters quarter being built with something like an East India Company building and Governor Office building, being built only in Distant lands.
There have been cases of historically significant empires left out of the base game, like Persia and the Mongols in Civ6, for example. Additionally, there are solid arguments for the Normans representing the island of Great Britain. If the British are included, then I’d bet on Germany being left out. But everything is still unclear.
I actually agree with you as far as the language and literature part. I am afraid that it's too 20th century heavy, and I sincerely doubt that most of these would happen due to copyright laws.
True. However, if the Modern British had to get a unique Great Person, I'd personally rather them go the Scientist/Engineer route. It would align more with their involvement starting the Industrial Revolution
Only as long as th 'modern British' include the Scots, who provided a disproportionate percentage of the engineers/mechanics who made the Industrial Revolution work.
Yes, I would assume modern Britain/British would encompass the modern-day countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and even Ireland, if they mainly portray it off of the Victorian Era.
With this. England and France should also be Middle Ages civ.
I think it's quite impossible that Britain is not in the base game. Britain produced some of the greatest scientist in the history of the world, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, etc. I can easily see them represented as Unique Civilian Units. Missing them in the base game will be a crime.
I kind of agree, and for that reason, maybe we’ll never see England, which is a shame. The Normans aren’t a civ that particularly excites me, so I'd choose England every time if I could. Even though it’s a low priority right now, I’d still like to see England included later in the development cycle.
And Normandia here represents different kingdoms and duchies that never came under single unified rules. Guilliame de Normandie, as King of England only rules England and Northern France (Normandie), but not Norman Sicily.
As much as I'd like to see an Exploration Age England too, I'm under the impression that the only inclusion it might get is through a leader like Elizabeth.
I disagree. As may be apparent from my post history, I'm a bit of an Anglophile, and would love for Civ VII to end up having half a dozen or more civs from the British Isles:
