Guess the New Civs

Gold and black would have been nice but that's already taken by Russia.
If one looks at the eagle one can see that he is holding something in his claws which is clearly Austrian and not Polish.

Spoiler :

Austria:

Poland:

It's too difficult to tell from that picture.
As said it could be an Austrian eagle in Austria's colours.

(And to be honest, an eagle is an eagle, there are tons of countries with an eagle as their symbol)

It definitively the Austrian eagle simply colored in the Austrian colors. This does make it look like the Polish eagle. The only way they could have gotten the proper colors for the eagle would have meant that the Austrians would use red and black as their color, which doesn't look to good and doesn't suit Austria at all.

I honestly think that if there was Poland included, the symbol would be the white eagle of Casimir the Great (http://histmag.org/grafika/turniej/y5.jpg) or other Late Medieval version. The Austrian one is either from their modern coat of arms, or from late 19th century Austria-Hungary.

So no, there is no mistake in colours or the choice of eagle. As Anandus said, there are tons of eagle symbols in Europe, so you can't avoid similarities.

There's a guy on Wikipedia claiming that the next civ is the Zulu, with Impi and Kraal as UU/UB.

[Dragonflow]

I doubt he knows what the real last civ is. The page says Byzantiums UU are Cataphract and Varagian Guard, while we already know that one of their UU is the Dromon.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

they mention mayan UA is Calendar Stones.

 

[Guandao]

What if this last unrevealed civ is a joke? like a civilization led by Sid Meier?

 

[nokmirt]

Could the last civ be the Moors?

How come if he knows so much about the Zulu, why does he not know their UA?

 

[Guandao]

I'm wishing it'll be an African civilization south of the equator, like Kongo or Zimbabwe.

 

[Louis XXIV]

Wouldn't make sense without Marrakech, which was the capital of the Almoravids.

 

[Guandao]

It's prolly not the Moors, they got North Africa covered by Carthage anyway.

 

[nokmirt]

Wouldn't make sense without Marrakech, which was the capital of the Almoravids.

Is that a city state?

 

[Louis XXIV]

Yeah.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Kongo will be part of a double along with Portugal !

 

[Vlade Divac]

There was a pretty sweet mod for Civ 4 that had "Pirate" as a civilization. That would be quite a shwerve that some would detest, but it definitely would add to the interest.

Look at this guy's page from 19 February: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:ApprenticeFan/Sandbox/Civilization_V&oldid=477712770 . What the hell! He has nearly every new civ right, although he's wrong about leaders and UU's:
Byzantium - check
Carthage - check
Celts - check
Maya - check
Netherlands - check
Ethiopia - check
Austria - check
So yeah, Zulu very likely will be the 9th civ. He only has Poland instead of Huns, which he corrected later. Apparently we were going to get Winged Hussars and Uhlans. He also has Portugal as a speculated civ. Looks the devs planned to include Poland, but for some reason they changed their mind.

 

[Guandao]

How can we trust him though? Does he even work for Firaxis?
