Guess the New Civs

[CTH]

It could be a saddle, (the top part), ornamented reins (the orange part) and a holster for a rifle/gun (the brown part) and the brown thing hanging down is just a strap... or it could be something completely different, prob going to feel stupid when I see the whole picture

 

[Villager720]

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.

Or a leather tassel. Shaka wasn't a boot man from all the depictions of him Ive seen.

I could see that being the case, it seems more logical than a human body part

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

Ah, good call.

Maybe someone riding on horseback with a sword at their side? If it's that, certainly points towards Sweden.

Edit: Something like this, perhaps? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p9WLJHZye...vus_Adolphus_at_the_Battle_at_Breitenfeld.jpg

Yeah, Gustavus Adolphus is the one I'm closely scrutinizing to try and find out. The problem is the picture is very zoomed in so it's hard to get context. Also, Firaxis tends to take famous portraits and modify them enough so there is no longer a 1:1 match.

Well if you tilt your head a bit it almost matches Gustavus' leg and saddle.

Nice catch! The lace or whatever on the boot matches, so you may be right.

 

[CTH]

I am pretty sure the white stuff is some sort of lace and I cant see any african leaders wear that, independent of what it is attached to (boot, jacket or whatever). Neither do i associate that with any south american civ or native american. Asians perhaps but then I would think a more younger civ than Indonesia that has been discussed (could imagine something like that on a Chinese leader for example). So from the lace I deduct that we have a european civ, and then we have hungary, polen and sweden that has been up for discussion earlier (I do not include portugal because of the city state) and from those I would guess sweden.

The more I look at it I am thinking sweden. Could be a holster for a gun (gustavus had that), the brown that is behind what I think is a boot would be his brown horse. He would absolutely wear lace as that was the fashion back then. Yellow (orangy) is a color that you can see that he wears in many paintings.

That's either a giant man or a tiny horse.

 

[mitsho]

so it could really be anything so far ;-)

 

[Stormy28]

So, it looks like I was wrong about the Inuit. :/ Oh well. I have a lot of Swedish heritage, so I'd be totally happy if it does turn out to be Sweden.

 

[awesome]

i kind of want to say that white stuff is a fur trim, but it does look really close to that picture of gustavus adolphus, so i don't know.

 

[Villager720]

If it is Sweden, the second expansion better be called "Everyone But Europeans".

Agreed. No need to add Finland, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Switzerland, Bulgaria to the game. Portugal is fine

A Hungary and Poland wouldn't be bad as a DLC. They would fit in amazingly in the Renaissance Scenario. Poland, at least...

After they hopefully release Kongo and Zulu as DLC.

 

[blackcatatonic]

I wouldn't say no to another Swiss City-State or two. We don't have Zurich or Berne, do we?

 

[fuzzatron717]

well i'm not sure at all and a quick question for the current scenario's for the dlc's will they be altered for this game and too narrow the guessing down it looks similar to william orange so civs that are in the same timeline so 15th to 17th centurys. Oh and one more question it's for the guys making this game how much have you completed 75% or 60% or are you done and holding this back and making us suffer while laughing and playing this all this time I demand to know!!!

 

[Camikaze]

If it's not the Zulu I'll post a pic woth my underpants in my mouth.

Noted.

 

[anandus]

Noted.

 

[Glassmage]

Lmao where is the kinky underpants pic?
