My Civs and Leaders Wishlist + Ideal Progression.

[nickelion]

Did someone mention Ireland? Scotland?

I wish they'd add Cid Campeador as an alternative leader for Spain

 

[Ryansinbela]

Ireland and Scotland should join at some point
(Brian Boru as a leader please)

Oh, Brian Boru would be awesome.

 

[nickelion]

Also, it'd be awesome to give Prussia (Germany) a factory Unique Quarter (just like US and Great Britain ones), since they were extremely productive (still are) in the Modern Era.

 

[nickelion]

Also, has someone mentioned one of the oldest "civs", Armenia??

 

[Ryansinbela]

Some people have, it could be an antiquity predecessor to Georgia

 

[Phrozen]

Ireland is a strange case. It really should be early medieval but Civ7 really doesn't cover that time period.

 

[Archanist]

Ireland can work thematically, since some of the civs are anachronistic to the ages they're at (like Khmer). I can see Ireland working for the entire Exploration Age especially if their design leans a lot towards religion.

Or maybe modern as well? I mean, Nepal is in the Modern Era, with units that fought the British Empire. Civ is thematically "revolutionary", especially this one, with lots of "revolutionary" "leaders". So, Ireland could fit perfectly for their fight for independence.

Their modern military units could be:

Irish Free State Armoured Car
Irish Volunteer

or Cilicia

 

[ibnu]

For Indonesian pathway i prefer to this:
Kutai < Majapahit < Aceh < Indonesia (If there another age)
I already write about Concept for Kutai and Aceh

[nickelion]

or Cilicia

Cilicia is much, much better and the most logical pathway

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Exploration Age covers the Medieval period, so Exploration Ireland fits fine. I think it is a better fit than putting them in Modern because they were essentially under the United Kingdom for most of that time period.

 

[nickelion]

they are far too closely associated with that bland, sterilized white color.

what do you mean

 

[TheGhostEnthusiast]

what do you mean

That was February 16th me's attempt at communicating my general apathy towards the public conception of Greek culture in terms of its adaption and idolization by the renaissance, unpainted statues and pillars from antiquity that would become the image of "sophistication," compared to my personal experiences with the medieval, Orthodox culture: murals, mosaics and the smell of candles and incense, sometimes desaturated, but only in the way that wine may taste "dry," definitely not sterile and very very personal. Alexander, as a figure who has been in the public perception for so song, is inexorably tied up with that public perception of what "Greek" means, and thus strays too far from what I want out of an Eastern European leader: the ability to represent Orthodoxy. Pericles has a similar fate: he is the Athenian democrat, the forerunner of later democracies, existing as a character mostly in terms of what him and his ideals mean to the nations to the west. I want someone from after the adoption of Christianity by the east, someone who can truly be present in the game as a representative of the culture I associate myself with, not as a figure adopted by someone else. This is all personal and vibes-based, which is probably why it may come across as nonsense.

Oh, I see now. And I agree. Except that I wouldn't like Anna as a leader. I'd prefer male leaders. But that's my preference anyway.

Now that I saw Bulgaria's traditions, I'm really,really curious what they're going to do with Byzantium (a beloved Civ for me as well), since Iconolatry is Bulgarian now.
