One thing that I think would be great is if the India civilization was replaced by historical empires from the sub-continent. India as a state didn't exist until the British colonial period, so playing as some of the historical empires would be neat. Like having Asoka of the Mauryan Empire, Kaniska of the Kushana, and Akbar or Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire instead of or in addition to (the Republic of) India.

 

[daft]

I'd like to add Dacians, Poland (did I mention them already?), Switzerland, Belgium and Finland and Thracians.

Me Eurocentric? Nah!

 

[daft]

Inca, Cherokee, Maya, Anasazi and Iroquois

 

[daft]

Assyria, Vietnam, Khmer, Siam(Thailand), Malaysia, Mughals, Maurya, Indonesia, Maori, Australia, Tibet, Ainu, Khwarezm, Khazaria, Ottomans, Byzantium, Hittite, Lydia, Armenia, Parthia, Pechenegs, Tatars, Phoenicia, Israel and of course Babylon.

 

[daft]

Confederate USA, Crusader nation, Papal State(Vatican), Nepal, Judea.

 

[daft]

Ashanti, Ehtiopia, Mali, Morocco, South Africa, Zulu, Songhai, Kush/Nubia.

 

[durfal]

I love to have as many civilizations as possible in DLC or Expansions, though I fear with the multiple leaders there will be less than in CiV . Since Poland is already 99% confirmed I skip them.
But for the immediate future I hope for:
The Netherlands (of course since I'm Dutch), the Inca, the Maya, the Khmer, the Ottomans, Persia, Mongolia and Korea.
Later on:
Ethiopia, Mali, Vietnam, Indonesia, Siam/Thailand, Portugal, Babylon, Phoenicia (but I guess Carthage has a bigger chance), Hungary and a Mississippi Culture one.
No priority but would be fun to have in the game (at least for me):
Australia, Polynesia (maybe Maori focused this time), Gran Colombia, Italy, the Hittites, Sweden, the Iroquois, the Zulu (a sort of must for civ games), Tibet, Israel, a Celtic civ like Ireland, Scotland or Gaul (but not the blob one) and maybe the Ashanti or Benin.
Civs I really don't care for if they come back:
Byzantium (but they undoubtedly come anyway) , HRE (was a realy bad idea in Civ IV), the Huns (Really disliked this civ with no cities of their own), Assyria (maybe but only after the Hittites, Phoenicia, Israel, Sumeria, Arabia, Babylon, Persia and the Ottomans are in the game), the Shoshone (though I liked their game play in CiV and the tribe itself is fascinating).

I agree. In addition to those, I would like to see a Sikh confederations/empire play option, as they existed historically for a roughly 100-140 year period from 1710's to 1849. They also consisted of ~70% of the Indian Revolutionary Army when fighting the British for independence.

Shivaji of the Marathas would also be an interesting option as well.

 

[Txomin]

my favorite has always been the Maya so I hope they return sooner rather than later. I'd like a leader representing Tikal (maybe Yik'in Chan K'awil) and another representing Calakmul (maybe Yuknoom Ch'een II) if they give them two leaders.
Other than that I'd also like to see the Inka, Gran Colombia, Mexico, and Morocco.

 

[MooFreaky]

Carthage - An unnamed Suffet (or two) speaking on behalf of "The Supreme Council".
Kingdom of Jerusalem - Baldwin II
Kush Kingdom - Kashta
The Goths - Fritigern
Xiongnu Empire - Modu Chanyu
The Gauls - Vercingetorix? Not the best, but he is iconic and interesting. (Yes they lived in modern france, but they are entirely different cultures and peoples).
Ottomans & Persians obviously

As City States...
Babylon (and I don't think Babylon is worthy of being its own Civ)
Baghdad (until the Persians arrive)
Damascus (until the Persians arrive)
Eridu
Syracuse (if it is one of Rome's cities, remove it and make it a City-State)
Timbuktu
Ur
Venice

 

[Zharques]

As City States...
Ur

Wouldn't Ur already be under Sumeria?

 

[caiman0815]

Those are a must because they had major impact on history or have been major regional or world powers

1. Inka
2. Persia
3. Maya
4. Austria/Holy Roman Empire (in fact, Barbarossa as a german leader is a great mess when austria is in imho)
5. Poland

Would be very nice (but could also be city states)

6. Netherlands
7. Hungary
8. Carthage
9. Korea
10. Venice

 

[MooFreaky]

Good point, sir.

 

[Guandao]

Inca- Huayna Capac
Maya-Lady Xoc, or Yohl Ik'nal (time to show that the Mayan women had power too!)
Persia-Khosrau (tired of the Achaemenid leaders, who are chosen based on interaction with the Greeks)
Ottomans-Mehmed the Conqueror
Mali-Mansa Musa
Khmers-Jayavarman
Babylon-Hammurabi
Ethiopia-Menelik II

For Civs that never appeared in Civilization games before:
Shawnee-Tecumseh
Nubia-Amanirenas
Benin-Queen Idia/ or Ewuare
Nuuchahnulth-Maquinna
Madagascar-Ranavalona
Scotland-Robert the Bruce

The Gauls - Vercingetorix? Not the best, but he is iconic and interesting. (Yes they lived in modern france, but they are entirely different cultures and peoples).

Uh...how is Vercingetorix not the best choice for Gaul? From my perspective he's the only choice, the only one who led more than a single tribe or small confederation of tribes.

Babylon (and I don't think Babylon is worthy of being its own Civ)

I propose that if Babylon does not meet the requirements for a civilization, there is literally no civilization that does.

Don't get me wrong, Verci is great. One of my favourite historical figures. But he was basically only a military leader, who led his people VERY briefly and his only really achievement was defeat. True that was against one of the greatest generals in history, but still.

I propose that if Babylon does not meet the requirements for a civilization, there is literally no civilization that does.

Why? At their height they ruled over a handful of cities, and it lasted for a few years. As soon as Hammurabi was done, they were quickly overrun. They were significantly smaller and less significant than their various less famous neighbours. Many of the things that people credit Babylon for (eg Hammurabi's Code of Laws) were done by others first. And the real crux of Hammurabi's achievements were what he did with Babylon the city. He made it a prominent city, setting its foundations for becoming a city known to the world forever. So doesn't that make it best as a city state?
Babylon was awesome, and a very interesting part of history, but they definitely have the benefit of a romantic view.


EDIT: Sorry, they clearly include the Neo-Babylonians as part of the same thing. Considering they have Nebuchadnezzar II as their Civ5 ruler. So that basically invalidates everything I said.
I made the mistake of being too specific. Apologies.
