Civilizations you would like to see in DLC

I so do want to see Lucius Brutus lead Rome. He practiced obfuscating stupidity after all.

Is that one of Caesar's assassins? Or have I confused him with someone else?

 

[Ando15]

i want to see stealth bombers and modern fighter jets

You're thinking of Marcus Junius Brutus--Lucius was his ancestor.

 

[MooFreaky]

Lucius Junius Brutus is one of the legendary gens Junia family members. It is said he basically founded the Republic by kicking out the tyrants of Rome.
Marcus Junius Brutus (the famed assassin) was supposedly talked into going against Caesar by appealing to the history of the Junii Bruti, saying your ancestor saved Rome from tyranny and now you must do the same.

[Osubaker33]

I personally don't like modern civilizations. The newest I like to go is like George Washington for the USA for example and I'd only go that new because the country isn't any older. I like to feel like I'm altering history.

3. Korea
4. Denmark
5. Portugal
6. Khmer
7. Byzantium
8. Inca

21. Siam

 

[Woefdram]

I would like to see William of Orange (Dutch) back in the game. I admit, I may be biased because I am Dutch But I like to see the Dutch as quite an impressive empire in the 17th and 18th century, so they deserve a place here.

The Dutch should have something like the Sea Beggar in V and some economic bonus. Maybe a specialised commercial hub or port district which produces extra gold (call it the "VOC district" if you like).

I never liked the luxury thing in V, how about "each city on a different continent than Amsterdam counts as a luxury resource"?

Armenia - Tigranes II the Great (Industrial - he built several cities - and military civ)

Khazaria - Bulan (Religious - an actual judaic leader who os not israeli - and comercial civ)
Alternate leaders - Ateas for Scythia (capital : Kamianka)

I love the Caucasus region, both its history and its culture, and it is way overdue to see representation--but I feel like it should be Armenia or Georgia. In terms of cultural achievements, I'd vote Armenia, but in terms of big personality leaders I'd say you can't beat Tamar, which means I'd favor including Georgia over Armenia. Plus Georgia would be +1 non-Indo-European language, which is always a plus. (Although Armenian is an awesomely bizarre Indo-European language.)

Haiti - Toussaint Louverture (Diplomatic and religious civ)

When was the last time Haiti did anything significant? I'm gonna go with never...

First Kingdoms
Assyria - Sennacherib (Military and cultural civ)
Babylon - Hammurabi (Scientific and diplomatic civ)
Hittites (Military and diplomatic civ)
Alternate leaders - Ur-Nammu for Sumeria (capital : Ur)

I'd love to see every significant power of the ancient Near East, from the obvious majors like Babylon and Persia to the most obscure like Elam, the Mitanni, and Urartu. Realistically, however, I think we have to temper our expectations. I'd rather see Babylon and one of the more marginal powers like Elam or Urartu than both Babylon and Assyria, which were culturally if not politically the same civilization.

What is the "Osirian Empire"? And "Rama Empire"? Is that Egypt and India?
I feel like Troy is better off as a city-state. Their language is unknown, but possibly Luwian. All we know about their leaders is from Greek myth, unless we count the mentions of Wilusa, and Alaksandu in Hittite letters as referring to Troy and its ruler.

 

[Osubaker33]

Yes Osirian is a specific time period of Egypt and Rama is an Indian civilization. Either could be represented by different rulers under Egypt and India.

I would like to see the Troy straight out of the Illiad and Odyssey.

Troy
Leader - King Priam

Civilization Trait - Mythic City of Homer: +2 Amenities in each city, +10% culture, +10% tourism.

Leader Trait - Beloved of Zeus: +5 opinion with all other leaders, trade routes give an extra +5 positive opinion with foreign civilizations and give both civs +2 gold. (Zeus intervened on King Priam's behalf, helping him retrieve his son's body)

Unique Unit - City Guard (replaces warrior): +15 strength while defending a district

Unique Building - Walls of Troy (replaces Ancient Walls): +10 city defense and +6 damage (same as the policy you can take)

Unique Project - Helen of Troy (can only be used if Sparta is in the game): gain permanent war with Sparta and Great General Helen (+5 str to all Ancient units within 2 hex or can be given to the soldiers for um experience).

Good grief, no! Epic of Gilgamesh Sumer is bad enough.

A single city Civilization would be horrible. Venice was bad enough, but at least they had some mechanic via great merchants to operate. Plus Civ5 was far more based around fewer, taller cities. A single city in Civ6 would be hideously underpowered without some mechanic to balance them (without making them OP'd to their direct neighbours). If it wasn't single city, what other cities would they have?
Troy would either need to be a City State or part of a Hittite Civilization (and even that is just a probable. It's not 100% certain it was Hittite). But having a Civilization based entirely on a fictitious work is a bad thing IMHO.

 

[Liufeng]

Good grief, no! Epic of Gilgamesh Sumer is bad enough.

On that, we agree ... With all accounts and sources we have about Sumeria, thay HAD to go with simplicity, and make this civ around a Babylonian epic ... I mean, I really badly wanted Sumer in the game, but having Gilgamesh as the leader and abilities revolving around the its epic really killed me ... Where are my Ur-Nammu, my Shulgi, my Eannatum, my Lugal-Zagezi ? So many names and they chose the legendary one ...
I'm really not fond at all on legendary civs we're not sure if they existed, and even if they did, certainly not in the way we imagine them. If Troy, an "Osirian" empire, a "Rama" empire or else can be added, then Firaxis could just go ahead and add a Tamriel civ, an Atlantid civ or anything else you could imagine ...

To be fair, Gilgamesh (or Bilgamesh, rather) did exist, but we don't know much about him except that he was lugal of Ur. I could have lived with Gilgamesh had the civ itself actually reflected historical Sumeria, but as you say they just had to base the civ entirely on a Babylonian epic poem that was written down hundreds of years after the decline of Sumer with one of the more poorly attested out of dozens of Sumerian kings (and one queen).

 

[cjm81499]

My top Civ to see return would easily be Babylon. They were my go to and favorite in Civ V, and my hordes of great scientists were the envy of the world!

Science is pretty much my favorite thing to focus towards, and for some reason I seem to love ancient factions, as Sumeria is my favorite in this one. A Babylon scientific powerhouse return would be my most wanted.

 

[Zatsukino]

I'd love to see Persia, the Ottomans and the Mongols or even Assyria and Babylon, but i'm sure that they will all return back, so i will not count them in my list.

1 : Numidia or a berber civilization would be SO cool, really, i've hated Morroco in Civ V, because i wanted a real berber civilization, and queen Kahina or oven Juba I could easily represent them.

2 : Sheba

3 : Palmyra

4 : Phoenicia

5 : Hittites

6 : Nabataea

7 : Ancient kingdom of Israel

8 : Khmer

9 : Nubia

10 : Switzerland

 

[Osubaker33]

I may have missed it in the thread but I'm a little surprised no one has ever listed Austria.

I'd also love to see Nepal and Tibet. I think both could have some really unique mechanics. Nepal with their famous ghurkha which fended off a UK invasion and impressed them so much they hired them as mercenaries. Tibet could be another great religion civ.

China is my favorite civ to play as so I'd love to see some additional rulers from some of their different dynasties. We have a ruler from the Qin so the next could be from the
* Han Dynasty such as Liu Bang and would focus on economic and scientific advancement. (Embraced the teachings of Confucius)
*Ming Dynasty with Zhu Yaunzhang focusing on cultural and societal development (this is also the dynasty that did the most construction on the great wall as well as built the forbidden palace)
*Qing Dynasty wouldn't be a pick of mine but I guess you could focus it on military.

Not sure I mentioned it in this thread, but I have mentioned Austria elsewhere--though given the Germany that was released in game, I would suspect we're more likely to see Maria Theresa as a leader of Germany, given that Austria was a part of the HRE.
