Cherokee 17
Goths 31
Hungarians 31
Italians 34
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 19
Mughals 28
Philippines 25 + 1 = 26 Never underestimate the Filipinos and their obsession with the world's most popular online encyclopedia; I for one will welcome our Cebuano Wikipedia overlords
Timurids/Other Central Asia 2 - 3 = ELIMINATED Three options eliminated in a span of a few hours!

 

[The Kingmaker]

Looks like the Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic option was clipped off at some point. They should still be listed with a score of 18.

 

[Roman Citizen]

Argentines 22
Cherokee 17+1=18 I'm completely up for a Cherokee civ, though I would have prefer the Chickasaw or even the Seminoles.
Goths 31
Hungarians 31
Italians 34
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 19
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 18
Mughals 28-3=25 As I said before, I would have been willing to divide India had It not been such of a composited Civ already.
Philippines 26

 

[Guandao]

Argentines (22-3)=19 Not sure if Argentina should actually make the cut, they seem very similar to the USA in history, except for speaking Spanish. Plus, I wouldn't want certain Argentine leaders present in the game, especially those responsible for the "Conquest of the Desert". Perhaps, the only suitable choice is San Martin, though Eva Peron has been a Mod leader before. As a country, Argentina seems to downplay any Amerindian influences and emphasize European influences instead, which makes it less unique than say Brazil. But it is perhaps the best choice for an official Civ among the Spanish speaking countries in the Americas.
Cherokee 18
Goths 31
Hungarians 31
Italians 34
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan (19+1)=20 I'll let Kanem-Bornu last longer. Two Saharan based Civs (if an upcoming Civ6 DLC does add Mali to the game) aren't too much representation for that region.
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 18
Mughals 25
Philippines 26

Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 20
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 18
Mughals 25+1=26
Philippines 26

Would really love to start downvoting me some Argentines. Maybe a Philippines or two. A dash of Lithuania for good taste. But, here I am.

well it's your choice to fight for a lost cause, that's why I'm having so much fun in seeing not going anywhere.

I just don't know what this list is supposed to prove any more. Mexico was eliminated first last time but made it all the way to the upper 50% here. Italy was 15th before implying it should've gone down already yet here it is leading, Philippines are still in the game despite getting smacked out in the opening of the last game, Timurids were 11th in their first game implying they should've been top 3 in this runner up game yet they just got eliminated at 10th place... literally what is supposed to be taken from this? I know there were bound to be some differences after so much time has passed but this? This is practically random distribution.

that's the power of peoples open-minded opinions: they keep changing as soon as they find a reason to do so. As for Italy the justifications of it being eliminated before was Rome and city states brought from people that aren't voting on this thread anymore

 

[Siptah]

It's just the meaningless view of a handful of people that like to promote their queer views on history fueled by ideology, racism, nationalism and many other isms - nothing important and it can't proof anything anyway.

Argentines 19
Cherokee 15 (18 - 3) -- Personally the Cherokee are the second least valid choice of a Southeastern culture (after the Seminole). The Creek, Chickasaw, and Choctaw were all more significant and more successful at resisting US advances. The Cherokee is most famous for capitulating then getting stabbed in the back. Also possibly for every white American claiming to be "part Cherokee" without the vaguest notion of where the tribe is located.
Goths 31
Hungarians 31
Italians 31 -- As long as Returning Lurker keeps downvoting them, I guess I don't have to. If we're voting based on food, the Palmyrans and the Mitanni had better food than anything you can find in Italy.
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 20
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 18
Mughals 27 (26 + 1) -- I'm not a proponent of balkanizing every civilization in game, but India deserves better than the Gandhi treatment. Fine, he's the Civ mascot, but if he must be there at least offer an alternative view of India. Doesn't have to be the Mughals specifically--I'd love to see Sri Lanka, for example--but the Mughals are very recognizable and have some excellent leader choices like Shah Jahan or Akbar--maybe even do both: make the civ generally militaristic, then make Shah Jahan a builder/culture ruler and Akbar religious, for example.
Philippines 26

Argentines 19
Cherokee 15
Goths 31
Hungarians 31
Italians 31+1=32 - Better food than Italian? Pfff, you are joking! Lasagna, pizza, spaghetti, macaroni...
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 20
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 18-3=15 - I lack interest in this part of Europe.
Mughals 27
Philippines 26

 

[luigilime]

I don't understand why so much hate for Italy, I mean if it was for contemporary Italy then you have a point but we're talking about Renaissance Italy...

Hate? They are still leading.
@Kimiimaro that's all modern food from the last 200 years and not traditional Italian food though ;-)

Argentines 19
Cherokee 15
Goths 32 (31+1) Go Goths! Don't let the Italians win this round of losers.
Hungarians 31
Italians 32
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 20
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 15
Mughals 27
Philippines 23 (26-3) I fail to generate interested in them. The only civ here that would be really disappointing for me if it makes it into the game. I have no interested in the Finns as well, but I can understand the reasons why people want it. For the Philippines I can't see this.

 

[Xandinho]

Argentines 19 + 1 = 20 While my other favorite options on the list are out of danger (Italy, Goths and Hungary) I have only to vote in Argentina or the Philippines, but I have a much greater desire with Argentina than with the Philippines, so I only have to vote for this.
Cherokee 15
Goths 32
Hungarians 31
Italians 32
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 20 - 3 = 17 I'm not interested
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 15
Mughals 27
Philippines 23

@luigilime There is no hate for Italy, even because it is first in the list. It turns out that in elimination games, each person expresses reasons to go up or down some option, and no option will be unanimous in pleasing everyone.

 

[luigilime]

Argentines 20
Cherokee 15
Goths 32
Hungarians 31
Italians 32+1=33
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 17-3=14 Songhai and Mali could represent better the region
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 15
Mughals 27
Philippines 23

 

[The Kingmaker]

Argentines 20
Cherokee 15
Goths 32
Hungarians 31
Italians 33+1=34 Really wish I could upvote some other options, but I'm compelled to keep supporting them as long as they continue to receive significant opposition.
Kanem Bornu/Other Saharan 14
Lithuanians/Finns/Other Baltic 15
Mughals 27
Philippines 23-3=20 Choices are once again starting to get tough. I just can't say that I want to see them more than any of the other remaining options.

 

[Zaarin]

Better food than Italian? Pfff, you are joking! Lasagna, pizza, spaghetti, macaroni...

I'll take hummus over any of those, not even joking. And I mean real hummus, not that flavored crap they sell in grocery stores. Middle Eastern food is the best; only Indian even comes close.

It's an interresting food, but I'm not sure if it beats real Italian pizza. I tried one on vacation in Rosolina Mare - incomparable to the supermarket stuff. Also, Italians seem to be masters in making ice cream. The best ice cream I've ever ate was also from there.
