I can't claim it to be any more than a very strong hunch, but I don't feel like a Civ expansion would be announced at TGA at all. As much as I'd love for it to happen considering that's my birthday (technically - the stream starts just after midnight for me), :mischief:

Civ just doesn't come across as a crowd-pleaser to me in the same way that Smash Bros. and DMC are.

I feel the same.
 
There's apparently 10 games to be revealed of which nothing is known about at all.
This means to me, that for some games then News will be revealed.

Civ6 is a more secret game though: it cannot be said now, whether anything can be said then, @TGA, or anytime later. Until anything can be said, I don't need (subliminal) care by marketing at all.

Here is the first sentence from the wiki page at least for some clarifications.


I've done mission work for these areas and when we send materials behind the country on the address many put C.A., which means Central America, which none of the people in Mexico put on their address.
When we mail them I write out Central America now so they don't get sent back when they couldn't find the address in California. Because apparently there is a Panama, California.

I would have never known that some people thought of Mexico as Central America, but that's one of the reasons why I don't.
Though, know that I think about it, we did learn about Mexico with all the other Latin countries at the same time in my 9th grade World Geography class.

To be fair, I checked my school geography book, and Mexico is according to it, located in Central America. It is an arbitrary/quite subjective division after all. But holly molly, we discovered the country, if Spanish books say is in Central America, in Central America it is :) :) :).

Additional Info, (Spanish wikipedia):
"América Central: ... Politicamente se divide en siete países independientes: Guatemala, Belice, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panamá y México." (List of the Central America countries according to the Spanish wiki). And after the list there is an addition regarding Mexico that says: (Though they consider themselves to be North American (*) )

:) :) :).

Now Im starting to see why some Mexicans and Spanish think they still have some issues to settle!.

:) :)

From wiki:
Awards 2018: In addition, updates for previously announced and released games were also shown, including Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey,[17] Anthem,[18] Dauntless,[19] Dead by Daylight,[20] Devil May Cry 5,[21] Fortnite,[22] Forza Horizon 4,[23] Magic: The Gathering Arena,[24] PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds,[25] Psychonauts 2,[26] Rage 2,[27] The Stanley Parable,[28] and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[29]

Awards 2017: In addition to the awards and other performances, the show included trailers and presentations for upcoming games and content for current ones.

But weren't the games you listed as doing well being announced there first, not expansions? I mean any publicity is good publicity, but I still don't think an exp (esp the 3rd) would get as much hype as a brand new game.
Some people might leave their Christmas spend till the week before; but just as many people like to lock something down earlier so as to avoid the rush; so many potential customers who know their kid or SO loves a game have already bought something significant. I think the bounce of getting sales for Xmas would be bigger than publicity from those awards. Die hard fans of any series don't really care what awards they get or don't, or when they are announced in the sense that the internet makes that easy to track.

Moderator Action: the status of Mexico/Aztecs as central American or not is going offtopic
 
I'd probably vote the Navajo. I've seen a lot SW US rock art recently which seems like it could be implemented as an interesting UI. And the Navajo would be a good candidate for it.
Two points against your inclusion of the Navajo:
The Rock Art is Mogollon, Hohokam, and Proto Puebloan (Anasazi) not Navajo.
The Navajo are not "Native" to the U.S. Southwest but Northwestern Canada having migrated to their current "Lands" (along with their linguistic cousins the Apache) about 1450, where they learned farming and herding from the Hopi/Pueblo peoples.
The Pueblo people having already informed Firaxis that they do not wish for inclusion in the Civ series leave only the Pima, Yuma, Mojave, Piute, Comanche and Ute people as major "Native" civilizations from the Southwest U.S.

I wouldn't say that's a dealbreaker.

When did the Australians or Brazilians "migrate" there?

Everyone's from somewhere else.

Wait what? I searched but only found threads about it and no actual context. Why don't they want to be included?

IIRC it was cultural about depictions of their ancestors (similar to the Aboriginal peoples of Australia's) . They were going to be the "Native American" culture of either 4 or 5 I can not recall which offhand.

I, and a few others, have suggested that they could be similar to the Maori when it comes to settling but obviously land based. From there it would be interesting if you couldn't settle your first city until you meet a new civilization or learn a technology.

Besides in a TSL game I don't see them starting anywhere but what would be the SW U.S. because of their capital and actual settlement locations.

This is why I put Native in quotes in my post the person I was quoting had stated that the rock art was Navajo and I was pointing out that the art predated the arrival of the Dine to the US Southwest by centurie

My own preference for a "Native" culture from the U.S. would be one of the Southeastern "5 Civilized Tribes" whom descended from the "Mound Builders" , if not the MBs themselves.

I had suggested giving them the Maori's pre-city Science and Culture bonuses and some 1st city boosts, then give them a Tundra starting bias but desert-favoring abilities to inspire them to wander a bit before founding their capital.

Could live with this, but see my previous post.
