Civ 5 Confirmed Features

[Bowsling]

Well, it DOES make sense if the Romans build Venice, if you know what I mean.

It's pushing it, but possibly Germany (Or, dear god, The HRE), could build Vienna. Note that one comonly requested civ doesn't have a city state. That's Canada. DISCUSS!

Just because they don't have any confirmed doesn't mean they won't have any.

 

[Decimatus]

Quebec could make an interesting city state for V, also Jericho should be included.

Quebec would definitely be a/the Canadian city state.


Modding in new city states will probably be pretty enjoyable.

How about Singapore for a city-state.

I may be a day late and a dollar short, but I'm still there.

 

[Thormodr]

It could be possible that if a Civ is in the game, like Hungary for example, then Budapest wouldn't be in the game.

That way there is no name conflict.

I wonder if the city-states will have LHs and if so, will they be generic or specific to the city-state?

 

[Rusty Edge]

Well it didn't strike me as Washington at first, but actually it looks very similar to this portrait of him but less like this portrait of Jefferson. It may just be that the popular view of what Washington looked like is mistaken.

Washingtons apppearance changed according to his weight and teeth.

The more I look at pictures, the more it looks like Jefferson's nose to me.

Google some images and look at some currency, and tell me what you think, fellow fanatics.

 

[Lord Xavius]

Apart from the uniform (and background), I think he looks exactly like Civ IV's Washington.

I wonder if the city-states will have LHs and if so, will they be generic or specific to the city-state?

It would be nice, but I don't think it's very likely. I hope they at least have leader names, though. It would help make the city-states unique.

 

[Mustakrakish]

You offer cutthroat rates. Even in Imperialism iron/coal resources would cost less.
This reminded me of the standard state names in Imperialism. I've played so much, I remember them by heart.

Spoiler :

Major: Kem, Zimm, Ordune, Deneb, Devron, Haxaco, Patagon
Minor: Pram, Pont, Zazi, Zinlu, Hurschen, Bruhr, Kessel, Kathay, Issa, Idolon, Manx, Loki, Dedge, Sindel, Wodan

I don't know if they had their own flavors but I always ended up befriending the same 2-3 ones, while there were 2-3 others that hated me.

I honestly don't know what you're talking about.

Hmm, wither Rio being a city state either confirms, or denies Brazil, from being a civ. Can't tell.

Ah come on people! There will not be Brazil, Hungary or whatever additional country you might wish for. I mean Brazil? Hungary? Seriously? Why not go all the way and lets say... Luxembourg, Belgium
Unless you're visiting Hopeland right now and I'm being a jerk customs officer
In that case I apologize.

Hmm I never thought about that... interesting, how will they do that?

 

[Emperor Giulio]

I think if they do keep corporations, it should be a force in the game that acts on its own accord on were to spread and such. The government’s role (you of course) should just regulate how it operates, for example, what affect it has on the environment, and how much revenue you get out of taxing it.

Never thought that someone would know the existence of my province.

Many Canadians lurk here

Quebec isn't the secret province, that would be Prince Edward Island

 

[aarocks]

well since were talking about city-states.... howsabout jerusalem? think about it... religion is axed, city-states are basically political tools and well, think about it. thats basically what jerusalem was... crusades, etc

This is not a good comparison. While I doubt Brazil will be in, comparing Belgium to Hungary(/the Magyars) is like comparing Ancient Rome to the Singapore. The Magyars had a great impact on medieval Europe. No offence but Belgium has done little on the world stage. Luxembourg had some power in the HRE but not enough to warrant a civ.

[The SciWalker]

I hope the effect of distance from Capital to the cities to the maintenance cost would be eliminated by the research of modern communication technology(such as internet or multimedia). Anyway, this game is highly anticipated and I hope it wouldn't fail me.

 

[Asthix]

Whenever I play an earth map and found a city in northwest NA I always call it "Quebec, DAMMIT!" and make believe you've declared independence & named your country exactly that!

You still have not putted in the OP puppet states and the erase of transport ships, bite....
