Hmm, you are right. Still, I find it hard for them to wedge poland in, unless their UA is to be stricken with the absolute worst case scenario in every major event.
Guess the New Civs

I have not seen Stockholm or Helsinki in Screenshots so I would also say that Sweden is not out of a question. Few people know how important power Sweden was in Europe in the 1500s, 1600s and 1700s.

I personally think they would be a great Civ. They also could have female leader, but expansion already has so many women leaders that its not necessary.

But Christina shoud definately NOT be the leader :S
She abdicated and converted to catholicism, the very thing the nation and her father, Gustavus Adolphus (which would be a better leader), fought against in the Thirty years war.
She would've been considered somewhat of a traitor, mainly for the catholicism.

Yeah, I grew up in what was New Sweden (my high school school district was named after Christina), but she wasn't all that good of a leader, especially compared to Gustavus Adolphus. However, I don't think Theodora was all that good either, so I wouldn't have put it past them. An expansion pack with almost have female leaders would be quite impressive.

Carthage is Mediterranean, but they are certainly not European. I don't know how you can jump from one to the other. The Ottomans are more of a European civilization than Carthage.

Carthage is not European...tho I hope they have mediterranean city graphics (Spain should have it too, but I digress) Any idea if Huns will be counted as Asian? if so then the chances of a subshaharan African and a north American civ are better.

Well, city-art graphics and continental diversity are not the same thing.

Speaking of that, I really wish they'd add a Sub-Saharan and an Indic city art style, as well as giving units unique graphics, like in cIV.
I think Portugal/Kongo or Ethiopia will be a double pack for DLC material, probably a Fall/Holiday release so they can release a complete colonization scenario if not a separate game entirely like Civ IV (doubtful but you never know).
Until then, I do expect another ancient scenario. I believe we could see both the Hittites and Sumer in a DLC, and an enhanced scenario that buffs the classical age. Those are the DLC's I'd put my money on.
In a potential third expansion, I would expect modern/New World additions. Brazil could make it. As could additional eastern European civs. Perhaps even Mexico and/or Australia/Canada. Point being, I do feel a third expansion would be geared toward the modern day, but pure speculation there.
Right now, I expect another Europe, maybe Indonesia, and Zulu/Ethiopia as the other expansion civs. No ancient civs and no modern civs.

Third? We don't even have one out and you're already thinking about third? besides, I think it's gonna be only two expnasion packs, I don't think any Civ game has more than 2 expansion packs anyway
I meant the third installment/2nd expansion, which I am not sold on. Will depend on the sales I guess.
Considering that Firaxis has been comparing G&K to BTS, and not Warlords, one gets the impression that this is the only expansion they're planning. But anything can happen if the sales are strong enough.

That may easily have been a marketing decision as well
BtS is/was a much popular and bigger expansion than Warlords
Naturally they compare GK to BtS if they want to have their sales high
So yeah, I'm hoping for a second expansion as well

I'd definitely agree it's more marketing knowing that BtS was far more successful than Warlords, so a choice of comparisons is fairly easy (the successful one of course!).
and it means nothing about whether there will be more DLC/expansions/patches in the future.
Yes, I don't think that it means anything at all.
Everyone remembers Beyond The Sword in a way that they don't Warlords.

So with The Huns "confirmed" would that mean that they fill a role that I would describe as, "Civ4's Montezuma of Civ5"? So if they are in they would focus heavily on a military and declare war most often?

Doesn't Montezuma fill the role of Montezuma?

Ah, but see, Civ 1-4 + Rev had Montezuma II as the leader. Civ V has Montezuma I. Attila obviously is filling the void left by the missing Montezuma II
