Guess the New Civs

Hopefully won't be long at all from now!

Sweden or Zulu are my guess. I think a lot of it might well come down to which ones they feel are most marketable on their own as DLC - for example, how Denmark or Korea did next to Polynesia.
 
My 2 cents, just for the heck of it:

My heart says to include Kongo. It's just too cool not to!

My head says to include the Majapahit or Sri Vajaya (Indonesia is a 230-million-strong nation today, so who wouldn't want to sell games there? Also, these empires are neat!)

I would accept the inclusion of Brazil - South America is under-represented, and Brazil isn't too much younger than the USA. Also a huge potential market.

I would not be happy with another European civilization, especially in the West or even in the Far North or East. I just think we have enough!

Tibet would be amazing, but controversial in the world's largest gaming market - China. Israel would be a blessing, but controversial in the billion-person market that is the Mid-East. Another Native American Civ would rock, but I don't even know who that would be, since there are scores of equally-deserving candidates. Zulu would be OK, but if I ever have to start next to Shaka in a game of Civ ever again, I may start crying.

Whatever happens, I am excited for today's announcement :)

Disclaimer: These are just my hunches/opinions and I make no claims about the moral rightness of including any of these.

Well, the Renaissance scenario aspect is irrelevant since the civs for that is locked. I don't really associate Portugal with modern espionage.

For the rest, Indonesia strikes me as just as close a fit.

I don't either. I associate them with Renaissance espionage; the matters involving New World discoveries and Iberian politics, which greatly influenced the formation of the modern age.
 
I guess this thread really is a guessing game now. Based on what I see, the Zulu make the most sense, but I don't see much.
 
Zulus. 2KGreg loves the Zulus...
 
I would think of Shaka as being more likely to be outside if that is indeed the inside of a building.

ETA: Is that a person, I was thinking it was the background.
 
The part that I'm most confused by is the thing hanging down - can't think of anything it could be other than a scabbard. That being said, what sort of scene is likely to have been painted in this style? Obviously it looks like the wonder movies, but I can't recall anything else.
 
Looks like a kilt/robe with a strap and a boot or shin guard.

Looks like the same art style as the Boudicca concept art. Probably concept art of 9th civ leader.
