America should, quite obviously if you look around you, be a late game cultural civ.
I also think China should be less "warmonger" than it is portrayed as right now.

Haha, thanks for the shout-out. I really should've given my thread a better name!
I don't think the wheel really needs to be reinvented.

The Indian civ doesn't need to be changed. It needs to be ripped out and thrown away, and then replaced by some less awful representations of the subcontinent.
Maybe Gandhi gets in still, but only with a hidden missile silo in his leader screen.

you know you can change your thread title at any given time, right?
you should change it to "How would you change existing civs in BNW?" LoL

India and Germany need to be changed a lot.
It'd be nice if Byzantium had even the slightest synergy between its UA and UUs. Right now, you have to basically shun your UUs in order to get a religion quickly enough. But that issue may be fixed just by new game rules.
I don't understand why people think the Mongol UA needs to be changed. Yes, it's usually better to befriend city-states, but if you are going to be the Mongols you need to act like it.

Maybe arabia will be changed Because of the new trade system (because there UA is called trade caravans)
Siam might get more gold out of city states
But thats about it.

I would like Egypt's burial tomb to give an artifact upon reaching the modern age (1 per building up to a maximum of 3 in total). This would represent the discovery of tutankhamun's tomb. And perhaps these artifacts could be a little better than most.

India is the one that needs to be absolutely reworked, its the only UA with penalties.
France and possibly Germany are getting reworked, which is a good sign, some other civs could do with tweaks to keep them on level with BNW.
America the extra sight is useful, but tile purchasing is rather situational, I'd like it if they got rid of the tile purchase and gave them a late game cultural bonus, something to form strong ideologic blocks.
Russia The Krepost could use some love to make it worth it, considering their start bias, it would made sense to give the Russians some sort of bonus to tundra tiles, it fits them flavour wise.
Bizantium Give them coastal start bias, cost for founding a religion not go up for them and make the Cathaphract a knight replacement. And voila you've got a cool civ now, you can get your religion on time, use the Dromon in the early game, and use the Cathaphract to wage your religious wars in the middle game.
Mongolia A simple addition would make them that more useful: tribute from CS doubled. You are not going to be making friends anyway, extort a lot of money and workers from CS's, build a strong force with it, and go conquer the world, if a CS is being problematic come back, bully them again and conquer them anyway.

to be honest I dont get all these threads of existing civs changes, if they were already in the first game why bringing them back to the expansion? they were in the first for a reason, and now i dont find a reason at all, usually expansions are made to add something new, and not to adapt something already done in the main game to the expansion.

Will Hiawatha's rapid expansion be too extreme in BNW? Should they tone it down or leave as is?
