They don't speak Spanish anymore

José Rizal did, though. (It's a shame that American imperialism practically made Spanish in the Philippines (and French in Louisiana) go extinct).

Also, many of the "Spanish" settlers who colonised and participated in the conquest of the Philippines weren't exclusively European Spaniards. They came along with Hispanic American (including Mexican) Mestizos, Natives, African Slaves and White Hispanic Americans from the New World.

José Rizal had some Spanish ancestors who might have had some relationship with New Spain and the other Pacific island on the route the galleons did between Manila and Mexico.

I did complained a bit about mesoamerica feeling a bit disconnected, it seems both Tecumseh and José Rizal alleviate this a bit leading to Mexico.

José Rizal's ancestors might have had some links with Mexico, but Tecumseh has absolutely nothing to do with Mexico.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Connections aren't necessarily genetic heritage. It bothers me when people criticize connections that aren't blatantly a line of direct descent. Firaxis has more imagination than that.

Some Shawnee emigrated to Mexico in the 1800s (what was then Mexico; now part of Texas). I am sure that’s at least some of the connection Firaxis is making.

I've also think we've seen via Europe that generally anything in one continent unlocks everything else in that continent and the same is true here for North America

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

José Rizal's ancestors might have had some links with Mexico, but Tecumseh has absolutely nothing to do with Mexico.

As said above, I think right now anything remotely connected geographically by continent rather it be the Americas, Europe, or Africa is fair game for a civ to progress to. Asia is so broad that it's easier to divide them into more regions.

Byzantium - Constantinople

So we get Constantinople and Istanbul as exploration city states? Baffling.

 

[Rac]

Ok a little help here, ignore that nice Venice, that's going in my next update in the spreadsheet, so this print the game is in Italian, any ideas if that "Pagani" settlement is really Campania's Pagani? If it is... Who is the people there?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Raptor's Exploration video has Stockholm as an Exploration Science IP and Dzungaria as a military IP

 

[Rac]

Mystery solved
Finally a solution for Retenu, huh I though Hyksos would use Avaris as their city, anyways more IP's and some corrections:
Kerma - Kerma (not sure why they didn't use Nubia)
Venice - Venice
Oirat? - Dzungaria (It's either Oirat or more specifically the Dzungar... So IDK)
Sweden - Stockholm
??? - Pagani (no idea yet)
Harappa - Harappa
Kanem - Nijmi
Kavalan - Yilan
Arrernte - Mparntwe
EDIT: MORE
Yamatai - Yamatai

Edit²:

So... That was antiquity Belgae after all
+ Acmonia is a settlement too

 

[ButtBillionaire]

An absolutely incredible number of independent powers per era, with more and more being spotted by the minute. Imagine how many are hiding in the still-embargoed Modern Era...

Can you imagine London of the British?

 

[Bast]

Can you imagine London of the British?

It's called Brexit

 

[Xandinho]

There are so many IPs, far more than I ever expected. I wonder how many playable civilizations this game will have in the end.

 

[Sagax]

It's called Brexit

Little known fact, excluding Britain from the Civ 7 roster was part of the Brexit deal in fine print.

 

[JaeChunDaeSung]

I'll have to check the source, but I did see Goguryeo is an Independent Power

I wonder if it's a poor/literal translation of Pagan?

 

[notNamed]

We have the introductory narration for Emile Bell (Bell of Bongdeoksa Temple).

It includes a custom music track and the narration talks about Goryeo. "In the midst of the snow, the light of Goryeo hovers, an icy temple bell resounds echoes of the old kingdom."
However, Emile Bell has no relation to Goryeo. It was cast in Silla, by Silla monarchs, housed in Gyeongju (moved within the province a few times before being placed in the museum) which is in the south-eastern tip of modern South Korea. Almost as far away from Goryeo as you could possibly get.

I think that's fairly substatial evidence to expect Goryeo among the 4 civs of the wonderless March DLC pack.

Also, many of the "Spanish" settlers who colonised and participated in the conquest of the Philippines weren't exclusively European Spaniards. They came along with Hispanic American (including Mexican) Mestizos, Natives, African Slaves and White Hispanic Americans from the New World.

In fact, the Philippines wasn't even a settler colony, it was a trading colony because the Spanish wanted to trade Chinese silk for Spanish silver via the galleon trade. It was also just too dang far from the Americas, or even from Spain.

So we get Constantinople and Istanbul as exploration city states? Baffling.

I mean it's Civ, what do you expect?

I can’t tell if you’re being cheeky, but Goryeo would better fit Exploration, and the bell is a Antiquity Wonder, no?

You probably are, so excuse me in advance.
