[NFP] Civilization VI: Possible New Civilizations Thread

[Duke William of Normandy]

While this is probably true for a majority of Civfanatics I don't know how much they would sell to the general population considering all the "big" civilizations are accounted for. I guess the fact that a majority of them at least might be recognizable to Civ 5 players would help.

I'm pretty sure the general public would recognize the Iroquois or Morocco.

Those definitely are probably the big ones along with fan favorite Italy that maybe could make up a smaller pass. Give us Assyria/Hittites with an Egyptian leader which could work too.

Add Siam or Burma in there as well with a pinch of either Samoa or Hawaii.

The way the Maori is designed I doubt that any other Polynesian group is coming from Oceania.

Siam or Burma would be nice too though I think SEA is in a good spot, with the release of Vietnam, and would rather focus on other areas such as North America, North Africa, and Italy first.

Burma is one of those civs that would be an insta-buy for me. That and Morocco/Numidia, or Oman/Swahili. My OCD needs those map-gaps filled.

The modern nation of Hawaii from before becoming part of the US has a lot of potential without overlapping with the Maori.

Here are some good ideas for Hawaii could be made without looking too much like the Maori.

I'd definitely want a volcano-immune Hawaii and, though it was a good while ago, I read some interesting stuff about Lili'uokalani and think she would make for an interesting leader.

I wouldn't mind being proved wrong, but the way the devs talked about them in the Maori Livestream is that they pretty much were going to be the "token" Polynesian civ.

She's a Great Musician in the game already, but if she wasn't, I'd accept her without any animosity or doubt. Good Leader in her own right, unfortunately overthrown by some American colonists.

Bolivar and Temujin got the promotion from GP to leader so no reason she couldn't.

True.

Definitely would love a Hawaiian civ that would have some bonuses to volcanoes, and definitely some ocean-based bonuses.

Although personally, I'd much take Kamehameha I over Lili'uokalani.

So, if they did a final pass, which is seeming unlikely, likely choices seem to be:
Italy for a European DLC, Maybe paired with Ireland, or Switzerland, a Kalmar themed Denmark, or Bulgaria (Or Goths, as I would hope)
Morocco for Africa, maybe paired with an Egyptian alt-leader (Ramesses probably, but preferably some more overlooked leader for the series),
Assyria, probably under Ashurbanipal, from the Middle East,
Hawaii and the Iroquois for a "native" pass (that's the best name I can tie them with off the top of my head)
Siam, Burma, or Afghanistan for Asia,
Maybe Madagascar or Kilwa for Sub-Saharan Africa, to wrap the game with options that I've seen thrown around quite frequently.

I think the Inuit stand a bigger chance than Hawaii, honestly. That is not to say that Hawaii would not be a cool or welcome addition.

I think the Goths are unlikely at this point, and even if they were included I don't think they would be paired with Italy. More likely with Numidia or Bulgaria.

I also think Ireland and Switzerland just aren't happening. They weren't really empires or anything resembling empires, work perfectly fine as city-states.

The rest are...possible. I think Burma is more likely than Siam, and really Oman/Kilwa/Madagascar are kind of a toss-up.

Who would lead the Inuit, though?

 

[PhoenicianGold]

Ekeuhnick. Legendary on the level of Gilgamesh or Kupe, but would still be appropriate.

(also, I'm not commenting about how well the Inuit would fit a civ mold. Merely that they are insanely popular and might be shoehorned in anyway)

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Bolivar and Temujin got the promotion from GP to leader so no reason she couldn't.

Bolivar and Genghis however didn't have specific Great Works with music audio though which might make her more unlikely than promoting a Great General.

Italy for a European DLC, Maybe paired with Ireland, or Switzerland, a Kalmar themed Denmark, or Bulgaria (Or Goths, as I would hope)

I'd expect maybe Haiti to go along with the Iroquois/Native American civ over Hawaii. They are another post-colonial civ but they are primarily francophone, a nation whose citizens are mostly African descent, and from the Caribbean who doesn't have a civ.

portugal is so disappointing...

really wish we’d at least get a civ from an underrepresented region

or an indigenous civ (either of oceania or North America)

or SOMETHING

but instead we get the halfway point between the Netherlands, Spain and Brazil, thematically...

with exception to Vietnam, this pack was a massive waste of money lol

It always came down to Portugal or something new. They really got me good: probably would only have purchased Maya & Gran Colombia and Byzantium & Gaul if we had known the list.

Disappointing, but not unexpected. Oh well. No reason to stick around, now. But at least there’s Humankind to satisfy a less Eurocentric history game! Kinda put the nail in the coffin for me, but of course there are plenty happy with the choice. Just seems too safe for a “New Frontier”.

You mean the game that has both the Franks and Teutons in the Medieval Era in addition to Byzantines, English and Norseman in the Medieval?

I mean I guess they don't have Portugal, but who needs them when you have the Dutch, Polish, Spain and Venice in the Early Modern.

Okay I'll stop.
