Additionally, according to Wikipedia only 10% of the population lives in the southern hemisphere.

That being said I would still like more representation there as well!

Definitely would be interesting to get earlier ones like Zimbabwe, Khoisan, Tonga, Antiquity S America, Aboriginal Australia
And Modern ones like Brazil, Argentina, Maori, Boer

 

[Ryansinbela]

Brazil and Maori are somewhere on my wishlist

I wonder if we will see any IPs based in Tibet and Xinjiang (like Uyghurs, Kashgar, Khotan, Tocharians). Due to how touchy the Chinese government is with those areas.....

Not sure if this has been posted somewhere yet, but Andrew Johnson teases an eventual Siamese leader on X:

There is an Antiquity Khotan IP Village, from the Saka People?

 

[Rac]

Uh ok, minor update today, a single new IP, showed up here
Mahabalipuram of the Pallava People? (Exploration)
Today there was new review video that almost got who the Syvash people is, but no luck there.
Also, people are speculating Kabul is IP settlement and not a Mughal city, but we can't be sure in any cases I let Afghanistan as implicated IP for now...
So that's all for today @bite , I feel we only will get more news, the whole thing in that case, once the early access drops next week

Dhar Tichitt is confirmed leading by Tichitt people. New Exploration Age IP Túcume revealed.

Oh, I didn't know that. That's nice to hear.

Dhar Tichitt is confirmed leading by Tichitt people. New Exploration Age IP Túcume revealed.

Tucume is likely Lambayeque or Sican.

 

[Rac]

So as you can see above, that was it for today it seems...
Confimation of the Tichitt People and a new IP:
Túcume of the Sican or Lambayeque People (Presumably) - Exploration
EDIT: Syvash's people is the Huns??? I didn't expect that

And that's it for today @bite, nothing more I guess

I don't know why they use Syvash, I don't know why it's the Huns, but Syvash (锡瓦什) is leading by the Huns (匈人).

OH SO IT WAS THE HUNS?????? Lol

 

[Ryansinbela]

Let’s get down to business and add the Huns

 

[KKSSep]

Some more confirmation for the Antiquity Age IPs. Baekje people(百济人) leading Wiryeseong (慰礼城), Oponean people(奥波内安人) leading Opone (奥波内), Isreali people(以色列人) leading Shomron / Samaria (撒玛利亚).

 

[Zaarin]

Isreali people(以色列人) leading Shomron / Samaria (撒玛利亚).

They've been called Retenu, from the Egyptian Retjenu/Reṯenu, in the English localization, I believe.

 

[KKSSep]

I think they're different. The organized chart on page 42 of this thread also differentiated them (while labeling that Retenu belongs to the Hyksos people).

 

[Rac]

Baekje people(百济人) leading Wiryeseong (慰礼城)

No suprises here, cool to confirm it.

Oponean people(奥波内安人) leading Opone (奥波内)

Huh, I swear they where using Opone to have a settlement for Punt, I got it wrong, but if it's Oponean per se that's interesting choice indeed.

Isreali people(以色列人) leading Shomron / Samaria (撒玛利亚)

Now that is a good info, just to be sure, Chinese doesn't conflate the terms for "Hebrews" and "Israelis" as the same word right? If that's the case it opens the possibility for Jerusalem to appear for "Juddeans" (or the literal Outremer kingdom of Jerusalem in the next age...), still I wonder if the English loc. do the same thing or not and goes with the more general term "Hebrew".
To be polite, lately the use of "Israeli" unfortunately is as non-controversial as capybaras are fish according to Catholics, personally I would love seing Tel Aviv appering in Modern, but that is as likely as seeing Taipei being anywhere near the word "independent" in the game, so yeah.

As KKSSep said above, these are different IP's, so Retenu is the settlement for the Hyksos (don't ask me why they didn't use Avaris) that well fits thematically when you think about it; Shomron is shown to be Israel now, but beyond these we also have Megiddo for the Canaanites and Tyre (it's "Sur" in Chinese loc.) for Phoenicia and there's a separated Carthage too for Carthaginians.

Dhar Tichitt is confirmed leading by Tichitt people.

This one is interesting. Tichitt is an important trade city on the trans-Sahara trade route on its own, and it is an UNESCO World Heritage Site today for that reason. Dhar Tichitt, on the other hand, is the name of a massive sandstone cliff that lies beyond the town (the cliff is named after the town, I think), and the cliff then gave name to a nearby archeological culture called Tichitt culture. Hence, the name "Dhar Tichitt" does not refer to a settlement or city at all in real life.

No, words that related to ethnicities had very well organized in Chinese (except the Turk- s), if Firaxis want to, they can have more than 5 different "Yue"s in the Antiquity Age. However, "Jewish" goes to "犹太" (Youtai), "Juddeans" goes to "犹地亚人" (Youdiya), "Judah" goes to "犹大" (Youda), "Hebrew" goes to "希伯来“ （Xibolai), "Israel" goes to "以色列” (Yiselie), etc.

恩古鲁: Could be Nguru? Exploration age.

 

[Giskler]

오포네: Could be Ophir? Antiquity age.

AI says:

오포네 (Opone): This is a transliteration of the name Ophir into Korean. Ophir is a place mentioned in the Bible, famous for its gold. Its exact location is unknown but is believed to have been somewhere in the southern Arabian Peninsula, the Horn of Africa, or possibly even India.

(오포네 민족) ((Opone minjok)): This translates to (Ophir people/nation). 민족 (minjok) means people or nation.
