i've said it before, inuit would be really nice for a civilization that takes advantage of hexes that people usually avoid.

It's exactly setting is not clear, but I don't think the Steampunk scenario is going to reach South America or the Southern Hemisphere.
If I'm wrong, then I'd say that Brazil would fit better. "Gran Colombia" ceased to exist when it split up in three Republics in 1831. Brazil was an Empire until 1889; from 1831 onwards it was governed by Dom Pedro II, the kind of Emperor that could not be omitted in a Victorian Era scenario.
But if a South American civ is going to be added merely for the sake of South America (and currently that is a good reason), I don't think I can choose between Brazil and Gran Colombia. As I said before, leaving out a great leader such as Simón Bolívar while a certain Civ5 leader didn't even exist is so wrong...
Anyway, I'd be very happy to see any of these two getting in. Or even Argentina (Albeit not so much). Or Kongo, or Zulu, anything. Just... NOT Sweden, if you please.

Then again, Sweden would kinda fit in a Steam-Victorian scenario.

I am so sick of people moaning and threatning not to buy the expansion pack because a civ is not making into the game (btw, I'm Polish, and I couldn't care less if Poland is in or not, also, I am not gonna threaten and say I'm not buying the ep because Sioux or Khmer are not making into the EP! It's ridicolous, there's thousand of new features and imporovements and you aren't buying the civ because of the fact that POLAND isn't making in? Really?)
Besides, a lot of the civ include nations that don't have their counter parts (Take The Ancient Worlds Scenario, or the Polynesian scenario)

I'm under the same opinion. Nothing'd stop me from buying this expansion.

i'd probably treat an in-game poland the same way i'd treat an in-game canada: conquer and raze it every single game, just for the sake of conquering and razing it.

Where in Italy is this?
I suspect fervent obnoxiousness of Polish campaigns for the inclusion of their country is THE main reason they haven't gotten into any civ game. The late medieval / early modern state is certainly worthy of inclusion. Look at all those beautiful cathedral cities, those German-speaking Jewish communties destroyed by the Nazis, Copernicus et al ... all Poland in that era, though Poland then was a multi-ethnic German-speaking state with a Slavic Catholic heartland rather than the monolingual place of today.

I rarely mention being Half German as well (I am also half Kaqchikel), but I have to say I wouldn't mind Poland in game... but I probably would raze/conquer their cities too to be honest

For what it's worth, Carthage is not in the Fall of Rome scenario.

Wasn't Carthage taken over by that point in history anyways? would seem weird if they made an appearance there.
A Punic war would be cool, but likely the time difference is too much.

Yeah, that's why they're not in. They were conquered by that point.

People could try and take Civ 3's Conquer's Fall of Rome Scenario as a refrence.

If we stick to the same region, Hungary and/or Poland would have been a much better choice

Actually Hungary is an ever better fit for a medieval scenario
Mongols, Ottomans, clash of religions, etc...
I still cannot beleive Firaxis didn't choose to add them as a full civ

Hmmm Please looking for a Symbol (Badge) representing Austria on the Gods & Kings!

This Badge is a Polish symbol!
Firaxis Games made a mistake!

I find it is very strange they didn't go with a 'rise of Rome' scenario too.
I mean the Celts, Carthage, it's all there.
Yes. That could have been quite a bit better, since it could have the Gauls and Carthage at the appropriate times. Still, in the Civilization series having your capital city sacked tends to be the end of everything and that might be awkward to work into a scenario like that.
Still, they seem quite keen on Attila.

Dream on. Polish eagle is different. I wish the devs went for the gold-black Habsburg colours, but I'm ok with the scheme they chose. After all, red and white were the national colours of Austria since late Middle Ages.

It could be that they used a silhouette of the Austrian eagle for their symbol, and then decided to use the Austrian flag's colours. I don't think they actually used a Polish eagle.
But it does indeed look like a Polish eagle
