Civ VII civs

The way this game is set, America just represented the white people. All the unique units and leaders in all Civilization series always shows just the white heritage in USA nation. Also, when I try to argue in this forum about the Native American heritage in USA, all user desagree with me, because they thought USA as a pure white society.
The civil war had black troops, it can be a Unique Unit. Black Panthers, Mahowak Rifle club, both can be units for USA. But not, that time is the Cowboys, last time the Minuteman, always just remember the white heritage of America. Also, all USA leaders was white, why Roosevelt who kill Cubans and Native Americans deserve to be a leader and Barack Obama not?

Obama is too recent to add to the game. If Abe Lincon was in Civ 7 I'd love to see him gain a UU biased off the black groups as he did indeed support this. However I feel discounting leaders like Teddy because they killed natives and Cubans is a bad idea. Natives constantly massacred each other as well as whites. It was a two-way street. Countries fight each other. Civilizations destroy each other. Natives did it, Asians did it, Whites did it, Blacks did it.

Also though there was native heritage in the USA, they were separate nations for a very long time. They fought each other and they traded.

Also the U.S.A.'s UU in Civ 6 is a plane so it could be any race. The minutemen had black people in them as well. America's UUs for the past two games have been a mix of blacks and whites.

The P-51 Mustang is based off of the planes the Tuskegee Airmen flew. They were African American and Caribbean-born pilots in World War II.

And Barack Obama is still alive. No official leader has been in a game when alive. Roosevelt is considered one of the greatest U.S. Presidents anyway.
 
I think Abraham Lincoln for Civ VII is a safe choice (would prefer he be portrayed with his famously high voice, which is historically accurate).

I’m fond of John Adams (the second president), who was featured in the Civ: Colonization spin-off, and wouldn’t mind Teddy Roosevelt returning, but variety would be nice.

I would be happy not to see Thomas Jefferson (slavemaster who had a child with one of his slaves, and wanted the US to be more agricultural), and also happy not to see George Washington (a bit dull in his representations—if in future they make him soft-spoken and a good military leader I would think that better).

As for other Civ VII civs, I would like black horse civs like the Goths and Berbers, as well as some old favorites like Babylon and Greece (maybe led by Themistocles this time, since they can’t seem to do a historically accurate Pericles anymore).

Native Americans don't fight each other since 1776.

short video about the last blow the 5 civilized tribes received by USA, by Rooselvelt.

If USA civ just can have white heritage as their features, why don't choice already Andrew Jackson, make it more sincere.
 
Native Americans don't fight each other since 1776.
In the War of 1812 the different Native Americans took the side of both the British and the Americans.

The Creeks had their own Civil war during that time period as well and the American government got involved with also the Cherokee and Choctaw.

Also during the Sioux Wars in the 1800s the Crow Shoshone sided with the U.S. as they were traditional enemies of the Sioux.

So no the Native Americans were not totally peaceful to each other after the U.S. gained their independence.

WASP just have one ally in USA, the Iroquois. After American Revolution even the Iroquois become enemies of the whites.
As I know, in the early 1800 start in all Western world the idea of nations, George Washigton think in the White nation of Americas, Jean Jaques Dessalines think in the Black nation of Americas and Tecumseh will think about the Native-American nation of Americas.

Tecumseh finally united all Native-Nations of North-West, but will fail to ally himself with the 5 civilized tribes of the south, but they don't fight with guns.


The Creeks had their own Civil war during that time period as well and the American government got involved with also the Cherokee and Choctaw.
That is right, during the civil war Oklahoma was divided as all USA.

Also during the Sioux Wars in the 1800s the Crow Shoshone sided with the U.S. as they were traditional enemies of the Sioux.
OK, in far west the wars inside Native Nations just over after the Louisiana Purchase. Not in 1776 as I said, sorry.

Unfortunately I think talking about Civ 7 is pointless. The idea of a pass suggests to me that they are going to ride Civ 6 as long as humanly possible. At the very least I wouldn't expect 7 out for at least 2 years after the last content is released for 6. So thinking about civs for 7 seems truly speculative for now.
 
should at least one Muslim civ be present on the base game to represent the muslim world/religion ? and also there should be a non Carthage maghreb civ ?

I consider Egypt and Persia to be geographically Muslim, if not actually religiously in the period they'd be mainly drawn from. But my scheme is not intended to exclude. The Arabians and Ottomans make the most sense in the expansion specifically dedicated to fleshing out the religious game. Judea too would work better there, but I tried to avoid geographical overlap (it's bad enough I have Byzantium and the Ottomans in the same expansion); thus trying to avoid Judea and Outremer in the same pack. Ultimately I went with Judea in the base game because they have been conspicuously excluded for decades now, and are the civilization most in need of finally being represented.

I agree, Civ 6 can improve way more doing more civs than doing a totaly new game.
To do a new game need to change some features, what features can change in Civ 7? I don't have any idea.

I thought it would be an interesting idea to think of a civ game which kinda follows in the footsteps of Super Smash Bros Ultimate, in that it brings back every civ that existed in past games, with exclusions or modifications to civs or leaders that were poor choices, and a maximum of 2 leader options for civs which have had more than 2 possible leaders. I also made the assumption that this game would have dynamic city lists, so civs with a lot of city lists would accomodate each other by not founding the same city as another civ, even if the city itself has a different name. It would also have a set of new civs and leaders, italicized in this list. Note that I have included civs/leaders which I perceive as likely to be added to Civ 6 in NFP or later, but are still italicized for the sake of consistency.

Almost 90 civs and no Muisca or Argentina? :shifty:
Also if we can have different Persias surely we can have a separate Macedon again. :p

duly noted, let me edit and fix that

Also no Ashanti and Madagascar on the list :p. I think they both have very real chances of becoming civs in Civ7, especially Madagascar, given their empty TSL, their outstanding female leader (Ranavalona I) and it's a constant fan request here.
