Never Before Seen Civs - Elimination Game

[Guandao]

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 2 (6 - 4) I'm just not very interested, and their lack of influence doesn't help.
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 4
Hebrews 4
Maori/Other Polynesians 15 (14 + 1) We need more island civs and Polynesian culture is beautiful.

Ok, score should be

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 3
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 4
Hebrews 4
Maori/Other Polynesians 15

Whomever eliminates Benin will earn my undying hatred

 

[Amrunril]

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 4 (3 +1) The game badly needs more African civs.
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 4
Hebrews 1 (4 - 3) In addition to my concerns about its political status, it's another Eurasian, and specifically Middle Eastern civ. I think there certainly are civs in these regions worth adding, but now that we're in the final 5, its hard to justify them taking precedence over African or American options.
Maori/Other Polynesians 15

 

[Manifold]

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 1 (4-3) I am not sure but would they not already be out at a different timed vote?
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 4
Hebrews 2 (1+1) my reasons art still the same
Maori/Other Polynesians 15

 

[Returning Lurker]

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 1+1=2
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 4-3=1
Hebrews 2
Maori/Other Polynesians 15

I think there is an important lesson to be learned from this. Never, ever, EVER be a good person under absolutely any circumstances. I could've broken top 3 but I was held back by my own desire to look sporting when I should've just kept being a completely amoral pragmatist to get what I wanted. And because of that I've now completely wasted the last few weeks of my time. So remember kids, if at any point in time you are given a choice between doing something respectable or forwarding your own personal agenda, always forward your own agenda!

Same reasons for both votes

 

[Zaarin]

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 2
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 2 (1 + 1) -- Shame the most deserving civ on this list is probably the next to be eliminated, but I'll stand by King Tamar to the end.
Hebrews 2
Maori/Other Polynesians 12 (15 - 3) -- Not worthy of first place.

 

[Roman Citizen]

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 2
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 2+1=3 They are the most deserving civ here.
Hebrews 2-3=-1 ELIMINATED, famous for being the start of the Abrahamic religions and being conquered by everyone around them. Their impact on this world was more beyond their control. With all that said I would like to see this civ in the Civilization franchise but the other remaining civs should be a priority.
Maori/Other Polynesians 12

 

[The Kingmaker]

Benin (Dahomey)/Benin (Nigeria) 2-3=ELIMINATED. The race to the bottom continues, and I think I know who's next.
Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 3+1=4 Now that the Hebrews are gone, I guess Tamar gets my vote.
Maori/Other Polynesians 12

 

[Siptah]

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 5 (4+1) most interesting civ left - and we never had a caucasian civ so far
Maori/Other Polynesians 9 (12-3) Doesn't interest me as a civ

 

[UkrNixon]

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 5+1=6 (Tamar shall prevail)
Maori/Other Polynesians 9-3=6 (Although I agree Polynesians deserve representation and de-blobbing, the rules require me to downvote someone, and I think North American natives are in a more urgent need of representation)

 

[conorbebe]

Just wanted to issue an apology for accidentally trying to take away 4 points. Clearly I was very tired

 

[ToothedBomb]

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 6-3=3 (Out of the remaining options, I think this region requires representation the least.)
Maori/Other Polynesians 6+1=7 (I really enjoyed the Polynesian civ in Civ V, especially their music themes, so I'd love to see them return. I don't expect them to win, but they deserve a silver medal.)

 

[Morningcalm]

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13
Georgians 3 - 3 = Eliminated. Agreed that this is the least interesting of the remaining options.
Maori/Other Polynesians 7 + 1 = 8 A very underrepresented area of the world, and both the Maori and Polynesians abound in worthy leaders, unique units, and excellent music.

 

[Kimiimaro]

So this is it... The finale. I wanted to support Hebrews - they got killed. Then I wanted to support Benin - got killed too. I was prepared to support Georgia - got killed. Well then...

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13-3=10 - Sadly, my interest in Native Americans is too low to support them over the second choice.
Maori/Other Polynesians 8+1=9 - Hawaii would make a nice addition...

 

[Guandao]

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA (10+1)=11 Southeast North America deserves a Civ, their leaders are well documented, they are descended from one of the most complex Amerindian societies in present-day USA.
Maori/Other Polynesians (9-3)=6 Second place is good for them. We know it's very likely some form of Polynesia will be added to Civ6, so I'm not too worried they won't reappear.

 

[Roman Citizen]

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 11+1=12
Maori/Other Polynesians 6-3=3
Let's finish this!

 

[Manifold]

Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA 13 (12+1) finished.
Maori/Other Polynesians 0 (3-3) Eliminated. My first elimination

Phoenicians are better

 

[Morningcalm]

Phoenicia would be an unlikely Civ I think--the Carthaginian offshoot was more famous and there are already many trading empires to represent instead.

I'm happy the Maori/Polynesians ended second! I think people were so busy fighting over the other Civs that the Cree stayed relatively unnoticed--and won. :0

 

[Kimiimaro]

Well then, that's it! The best of the best is...

"...Bohemia!"

...don't worry, little one, you fought well! You proved to be the best Civ from the third round...

"...twice!"

...yes, yes, of course, we will celebrate that soon... But first, let me congratulate Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA!

"Boo!"

...would you be quiet, please?

"No."

I'm having festive speech! So, Creek/Muskogee/Other SE NA you fought well, and although you are not my pick for a winner, you would definitely make a good addition and you would be a great choice to represent currently missing Native Americans in game.

However, @The Kingmaker, thanks for this thread! It was fun to participate and to learn something new about some of these Civs! Also, I'm glad to see Bohemia included.

Well, Byblos, Sidon, and Tyre are strangely absent as City-States in Civ6....Same goes for the Italian ones...

 

[RFormica]

Well, good job Creek! I do wish that this forum would keep watching this thread, I was so sad to see the Hebrews go....

Moving on!
Suggestion time!
