Guess the New Civs

[j51]

I maybe think Ghana 1 it was once a very rich empire. 2 It was the first african country to be independent from europeon colonazation and I mean completely not like south africa were it still had ties with britain.

Those are two very different entities. Pretty much completely unrelated to each other.

Resources that might appear I think are Citrus Buffalo and Rice just guesses.

I'm thinking that the Inuit might be the last unannounced Civ in G&K. I know this isn't much to go on, but there's a belief called "Dance of the Aurora" (+1 Faith from Tundra tiles without Forest).

That's almost certainly a reference to northern Native American tribes, like Inuit or Cree, who have a very spiritual connection to Aurora Borealis.

a good catch, there may be no correlation between the two but it would be a good fit.

Cree might be a good civ to have...

About the last civ,I suppose it'll have to fill these pre-requisites:

1st)It won't be an European civ(there are already 3 European civs in G&K(4 if you consider Byzantines as an European civ));
2nd)It'll be a civ that wasn't represented in earlier civ games(there are only 2 civs that haven't been in Civ series before);
3rd)It has to be a King/Queen or an Emperor/Empress as a leader,because of the "Kings" in expansion;
4th)Its culture should be unique enough for not being too similar with other civs already in Civ5 and G&K;
5th)It'll probably represent a region in the world never represented in Civ series before;

With only 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th pre-requisites,there are plenty of civs to choose . But with the 5th pre-requisite,I think there are about 3 civs that fulfill these pre-requisites:

- Majahapit(don't consider Srivijaya because their name is too hard to pronunciate);
- Brazil;
- Kongo;

Would argue that Sri Vijaya (Two words like Sri Lanka) is easier to pronounce than Majapahit myself. Anyway, I prefer Sri Vijaya because it would've been one of the richest civs in the world at one point (circa 900 AD, with China transitioning between dynasties, India divided, Europe still not really that relevant, only really behind the Arabs).

Going by those pre-requisites, you could probably include central Asia (Timurids, Uzbeks, Bactria, Kushan, Afghan) etc.

There's more in Africa too, would prefer for example Kanem-Bornu to the Kongo, for example...

Good spot. Might be reading too much into things, but I do think this makes the Inuit a bit more likely...

I think you posted this in the wrong thread xD.

I'm going with brazil, mainly because my formula says they should be added

So at least Maths wants Brazil in. Well, that is a start

Yeah, that about sums up my feelings. :/ I'm hoping I'm right. Inuit (or Cree, etc.) would be way cool.

Edit: No pun intended.

Boom tish.

Just because that pantheon is there doesn't mean the inuit will be in. It could be for Russia, Denmark and/or any civ one time I played Songhai I ended up in a whole bunch of tundra's. Just saying. And I did not have the disable terrain base thing on either.

 

[JFD]

Although it wouldn't be unwelcome to have a civ which benefited largely from its capabilites in the snow and tundra, if not at least in some part.

Still just a newbie dabbling, but thought I'd throw this in the mix – not as a prediction, but more as a talking point.

We've got civs already, or announced, that specialise in culture, economics/trade, science, military (both offence and, with Ethiopia now, defence), naval/maritime and, to come, faith. What about a new civ with some sort of unique ability/unit/building concerned with espionage?
Okay, I know England's supposed to get an extra spy, but I'd still consider it more a naval-oriented civ in the game, but is there any potential civ that could be an espionage specialist.
Off the top of my head, if we didn't already have Germany and Korea, I'd suggest East Germany or North Korea would have been a good fit. Anyone else?

Israel?

Oh wait...

What would be a good espionage civ that could get in that isn't already in with realistic chances? Not really any I can think of either. Israel would be a good choice but they are out.

So I would have to think someone or some wonders will be reworked.

I've been hoping for Inuit, good theory Stormy. I really hope we get a civ which benefits from snow, and it would be really cool if a civ could use ice to its advantage too, ice as a workable tile?

Yeah, I know. It's not that easy. But here's one I'll throw out there:

Italy
UA: something like "Machiavellian Intrigue"? Culture bonus for successfully carrying out an spionage mision.
UU: Leonardo's Cannon (actually, that could also be a good stop-gap between the units in the "Crossbow-Gatling Gun" debate)
UB: Medici Bank (xtra gold and maybe also some sort of defence against espionage - representing the intelligence contacts the Italian renaissance banks were able to build and use)

 

[ferretbacon]

I've seen Tibet as a suggestion, but has anyone thought of Nepal? I think Asia could use a civ in this expansion and the most obvious region in Asia that lacks representation is the Himalayan area.

I don't know about a UA or a second UU/UB, but I'd love for them to have a Gurkha UU.

 

[blackcatatonic]

One problem with Italy - we already know Milan is going to be added as a City-State, to say nothing of the several Italian City-States already in the game...
