pre-release info Civilization VII - Content Spreadsheet Thread - Civ overview!

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Especially because we have Hanging Gardens and Dur Sharrukin as two unassociated wonders.

Also, which both of them might actually be Assyrian.

 

[Guandao]

I rather Etemenanki be the Associated Babylonian Wonder.

OK showing the last changelog to the spreadsheet:
Troy - Troy
Babylon - Babylon
Sassanid - Istakhr (indeed is in Exploration)
Pict - Caithness (I got lucky that I notice that)

I do feel that just with the overwhelming amount of IPs, I don't think we can necessarily rule out any possible entries in either of the first dlc waves just cause they are currently a IP. I am also very curious at eventually seeing the full amount of modern age IPs.

 

[8housesofelixir]

Mind-boggingly bad if true. I am actually from the localization industry, and for this kind of typo to happen, one needs to have either never seen the name "Troy" in history books or pop culture, or "outsmarted themselves" and overthought the assignment ("Ok so it's Troia but actually Troy, and I need the audience to know that it's Troy, except I can't spell it as Troy..."). Or, if it's not the translator's fault, then the quality of source materials, guidelines, and project management is put into question.

2k China had some conspicuously bad localization issues back in Civ 6 (I happened to point out the Civic-市政 translation issue in Civ 6 earlier in a different thread), and the official Civ 7 guides in Chinese also have a couple of translation oversights.

Although I feel like the 特洛依 case here is due to the guidelines, the translator was likely forced to spell it as 依 rather than 伊 in Chinese because the original text is Troi rather than Troy.

 

[Gen.Washington]

These are the final symbols.

 

[Ebon-Hawke-]

These are the final symbols.

I wish the Russia and Prussia symbols were a bit more different, though don't know how they'd do that other than the iron cross and Aksum is also a cross, but we will probably end up with more crosses in the long run

Doesn't really matter with Aksum and Prussia since they'll be in different ages

 

[moondog385]

I don’t think IPs point to or against their inclusion as full civs. Babylon was a city state in VI, wasn’t it?

Prussia could have Aksum Traditions, so they would need to differentiate those.

 

[Twisted_HBG]

Yes, but the Babylon civ was added in 2020, two and a half years after the Babylon CS was added in Rise and Fall.

I think it's unlikely they would ship the game with an IP just to replace them with a full civilization a month later.

Interesting,
I would like to point out this is an outdated naming for this city.
It should be Kyiv

Kyiv - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

KyivNotKiev - Wikipedia

Ok I did miss that indeed, so...
Rus People - Kiev
Right?

 

[Acid.Crash]

Unconfirmed (because in video only a city name is spotted), but highly plausible.

No way to see how the associated people in named ingame from his videos, so only guesses for now!

Normally I would agree, but with the sheer number of IPs in the game at launch, idk if that’s still the case.

 

[untitledjuan]

Cant help but be reminded of the Ashurbinapal statue in San Francisco

Or a Thutmose III statue in Bogotá, Colombia. Funnily enough, it is located in a neighbourhood named "Egipto", which is Egypt in Spanish.

 

[Acid.Crash]

Normally I would agree, but with the sheer number of IPs in the game at launch, idk if that’s still the case.

My guess is they will update some IP to an actual civ status.
Indeed, some effort has been put in adding them in the first place, but still all IPs are divided into groups and regions, so it not like each one is super unique (unique 3d model etc).
Also, if someone decides not buying a separate DLC, a historical reference will still be in game in form of IP

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Rus People - Kiev
Right?

I prefer to leave the people name unlisted until confirmed, but a guess is probably fine, as long as you correct it with in-game confirmation later.
