Guess the New Civs

[Inhalaattori]

Sweden was pretty much Denmark's <snip> during the middle ages, they weren't really significant until the thirty years war, plus that I feel Sweden might be a bit too close culturally and geographically to Denmark to be released at this time, I'd like them later but would rather have more interesting non-european civs take the last three places available.

Allthough they call the scenario "Medieval" it will also include 30 years war and renaissance era.

Sweden was really important power in the 1600s and 1700s. They could have Hakkapeliitta as one of their UU.

Fall of Rome
Celts
Huns
Byzantines
Carthage

Just a correction, Carthage is not in a Fall of Rome scenario. They fell before Julius Caesar.

I'm gonna say at this point that Austria is out for sure. Budapest has been in one of the G&K screenies, and Prague has also been added as a CS. I know neither of them are in Austria proper, but they were both very important cities in the Austrian empire. Prague was at one point even the capital.

 

[Louis XXIV]

Yeah, I'm not expecting Austria.

 

[fat_tonle]

Huns could be extended into the Medieval.... maybe be renamed for the purpose of the scenario.

If not Austria, I don't see where the other eastern euro civ is coming from... other than Poland.

 

[King William I]

We ca e fairly certain tgat the remaining civs have never been in Civ before. That way we get some old faves and somethng totally new.

with that I think the remaining civs are:
Assyria (great ancient empire)
Bulgaria (first powerful slavic empire)
Poland

They already have Mongols for the medieval scenario. If Huns speak Hungarian in Civ V then they of course could be used as Hungarian civ. Poland and Sweden are strong candidates for Medieval scenario in my opinion.

 

[Louis XXIV]

If the Medieval scenario has Hungary, they are unlikely to use Attila's leader screen. Likely, they'd use static screens. So I don't think the Huns will have any effect on who appears in the Medieval scenario.

Who as in what territories/countries are featured in the scenario or who as in what new civilization will be featured?

 

[Louis XXIV]

We don't know yet. However, if we go by my theory (there are threads specifically about this scenario), it'll start some time in 11th century Europe. This means England, France, Holy Roman Empire, Danes, Byzantines, Turks, and Arabs will certainly be in (I think an argument can be made to split up the Arabs even more). This period would also include Hungary and Poland-Lithuania, but I don't know if they'd be civs or city-states. I think Bulgaria and the Rus would fall into this ambiguity as well. Italian City-States will most likely be City-States. This is kind of the period where they start to appear as something significant, so it would make sense.

If they have a city list similar to what they had for Austria in Civ3, they would stick to the Germanic Austrian cities, with the other cities of the empire being at the bottom of the list or not at all:

Vienna
Salzburg
Innsbruck
Graz
Krems
Landeck
Lienz
Kufstein
Bischofshofen
Eisenerz
Bruck
Gmuend
Villach
Klagenfurt
Weiz
Wiener Neustadt
Eisenstadt
Breclev
Feldkirch
Landeck
Budapest
Pecs
Maribor
Ljubljana
Kranj

(as you can see, Budapest is at the bottom of the list and Prague isn't there at all)

Whoops!

@Absinthe; I guess, considering my Carthage blunder and failure to read the 'Fall' bit of the scenario name that one of them could be in. That said, an ancient Mesopotamia scenario/double DLC could fit too.

 

[Louis XXIV]

They already have an Ancient Mesopotamia scenario. If anything, adding the Sumerians then would have made the most sense. Alternatively, it would make sense to include them in the expansion pack so as to not have to have a scenario.

 

[Verified_Confection_Being]

They've already implied that the fall of rome scenario is only showcasing 3 of the civs we already now, by saying it shows 3 of our new civs (therefore not 4 or more).

The only real significant long term power missing from the medieval scenario now in the HRE, and i doubt that will be added.

Empire of the Smoky Skies sounds too me like a very Euro centric one and i doubt it'll showcase anything in particular; it's already got a gimmick in being sci fi, it doesn't need to showcase civs to make it attractive.

I have a feeling our last 3 additions will be unrelated to scenarios. Considering the lack of civs beyond the Mediterranean and Europe so far i would think this fits too.

Potentially 2 asian civs and an african civ coming IMO.

 

[Infiltrator]

I'm gonna go with Portugal.. and I'm really wondering what the others might be. I find poland unlikely to be one of them, especially since we already have Warsaw as a CS.

CivIII city lists were terrible. I have the theory that at least half of the city lists were generated with a map of the world and a set of darts.

Some highlights:

Spoiler India :

Delhi
Bombay
Madras
Bangalore
Calcutta
Lahore
Karachi
Kolhapur
Jaipur
Hyderabad
Bengal
Chittagong
Punjab
Dacca
Indus
Ganges
Pune

Spoiler Germany :

Berlin
Leipzig
Hamburg
Konigsberg
Frankfurt
Munich
Heidelburg
Nuremberg
Cologne
Hannover
Bremen
Stuttgart
Bonn
Salzburg
Dortmund
Brandenburg

Spoiler Rome :

Rome
Veii
Antium
Cumae
Neapolis
Pompeii
Pisae
Ravenna
Hispalis
Viroconium
Lugdunum
Lutetia
Byzantium
Brundisium
Syracuse
Caesaraugusta
Palmyra
Jerusalem
Caesarea
Tarentum
Nicomedia
Seleucia
Artaxata
Aurelianorum
Hippo Regius
Nicopolis
Londinium
Eburacum
Arretium
Gordion
Agrippina
Cyrene
Tyrus
Verona
Corfinium
Mediolanum
Treveri
Sirmium
Augustadorum
Trapezus
Bagacum
Lauriacum
Teurnia
Curia

And the infamous spelling of Edirne in the Ottoman city list (it was spelled Edrine). And so forth. Plus, Austria wasn't even in Civ III, a misconception that seems rampant among the speculation committee. They created a civ for them, complete with a leaderhead, a UU, and a city-list (which was an unused portion of the Napoleonic Wars scenario), but they were excluded at the last moment due to what I believe to be issues with data (they would have been the 33rd civ including the barbs).

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

Prague is a City State in Civ 5. Just to have it out there.

 

[Snoopaloop]

I'm gonna go with Portugal.. and I'm really wondering what the others might be. I find poland unlikely to be one of them, especially since we already have Warsaw as a CS.

This has been noted already before, but we have seen Lisbon as a city state in a screenshot.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

Unless we see Warsaw in new screenshots Poland is not out of question.

Dublin and Edinburgh are both CS and they are now part of Celtic City List.

Seoul, Copenhagen, and few other cities I believe were part of CS and with the DLCs they became part of nations.

So No, Poland is not out question

Actually Budapest wasn't on any of the screenshot I have seen
It was Bucharest IIRC
I agree though, Prague as a CS lowers the chances of Austria
