I don't think we'll have two Oceania Civs in the base game. And Brazil only makes sense if they consider America as European and Mexico as North America, so Brazil would be the Latin representative. Personally, I keep finding the Ottomans make the most sense.
Yeah, I meant that even with Siam almost confirmed, we haven't seen its wonder anywhere. And before the screenshots, we had no evidence of Siam at all. That could be the case, perhaps, with the Ottomans.
I think the probability of that is somewhere around 0%. Fortunately.
I think exploration Japan is essentially confirmed between the original nintendo article, "Mieji" Japan, and an antiquity era leader so possibly even antiquity Japan civ
I think your crossroads is way too niche even if it seems they are going a bit more niche with their picks, and Goths don't scream crossroads to me. I am really curious on when non empire antiquity civs will start rolling in seeing as the Mediterranean is currently just the big advanced civs of the era
May I ask why Burma in particular?
British, Ottoman, Aztec and Byzantine are all very marketable and I wouldn't bet on them spending all of them in one pack while it's more feasible to have them spread out across different contents. I think they'll follow the Crossroads of the World approach of mixing less mainstream civs like Tonga and Burma with perhaps more notable civs like Assyria.
I mean, they have added and replaced these, and I wouldn't put it past them again, the only caveat here is that they sepcifically have never done that in a first DLC (Isabella/Pachacuti were the first DLC in 5 and I think Jadwiga was the first DLC in 6)
Yeah, hence my thought about them not being in the first DLC. On the other hand, IP's are more work now graphically this time around so that may also influence things. (Although on the other other hand, maybe the system for IP graphics is super modular and not that much work to change - who knows!)
Well then, maybe Silla? I don't think we need the Nabateans if a Mesopotamian civ will get in. I also would rather the British get Big Ben, but I guess Oxford could work.
Well Crossroads doesn't come with any new world wonders, so the best guess is that any unassociated wonders in the game right now will go to those.
I wouldn't have considered them if their wonder hadn't shown up in the Exploration Age. I also think it might be a good path for those that want to go Khmer>Burma>Siam staying on the mainland SEA, instead of having to go through the Majapahit.
The Byzantines are the most droppable. I might consider the British in Crossroads, if the Goths are an IP right now, even though I think Big Ben works better as a wonder for them than Oxford.
That would be a cool list, but do we know the themes of the DLC packs?
Yes, the name Crossroads of the World does fit the theme of the Middle East/Mediterranean World better. But that pack doesn't come with any new wonders, and there isn't a Byzantine or Ottoman wonder in the game. Considering all civs get their own associated wonder I picked the ones that are likely based off of the unassociated ones in the game.
