And Gauls were added later, and this ended up being a much more interesting and fun Celtic representation, in addition to making the Scottish civ the one with the least claim and meaning to being in Civ - just a small European nation on an island already represented by a major civilization.If I had to pick one, I'd go with Scotland. Not that Scotland couldn't have made a great civ, but it felt redundant when we already had an overly British designed England in the first place.
Besides, the Dutch have polders so...
I think the design of the Scottish civilization didn't help either: its leader ability is non-existent, golf courses are boring (why not the iconic medieval Scottish castles?) and a civ that revolves around amenities isn't much fun. If they do Scotland again one day, I hope they do it in a way that's fun to play.
