I can't speak on behalf of DD, but unfortunately tourists can really ruin the beauty and perception of a city. I went to Rome and visited the Coliseum. What should have been an experience down history and architecture was completely and entirely hampered by the crowded, suffocating bundles of tourists left and right. It was effectively a tourist trap when it shouldn't have been. Shame really

And Malay Archipelago would annoy people in Indonesia, Philippiness, Timor, and Papua..
Before Republic of Indonesia is established.., the term "Indonesia" is already used in academic circles outside the Netherlands as a legit geographic term..
Heck, even Indonesia itself is mean Indian Archipelago..
Yeah.., Nusantara is the best name for Indonesian Archipelago, IMO..
The problem is, people outside the archipelago hardly know about this name..
Nusantara is not the most accessible for Westerners but it should be something that is learned because it really is the best name there is if we are to hand-pick the most appropriate, non-exclusive name from all the many labels we have for the archipelago

We have 4 unreveiled civs.
1 is European.
1 is suggested to be Morocco.
1 is hinted as Native Americans.
1 is hinted as being culturally European on the another continent.
Either one of the hints is wrong or we don't have any Asian civs (unless anyone could remember asian civ with European culture)
Also, if the last hint is true, I believe these could be Afrikaners. They fit "Scramble for Africa" scenario perfectly with Anglo-Boer wars and so on. And South Africa is a significant political and economical power now.
EDIT: I understand what names Afrikaners or Boer don't fit the list, but they still could be South Africa or something.

Where'd you get the hint that there's one that's culturally European on another continent? We only got one hint that there was something related to something European.

Europe and the European culture on another continent are the same thing. The latter was meant as a joke to the question "Will there be another European civilization?"

I understand what it's a joke. I'm just not sure if that's joke about the wording only or a hint.
If that's not a hint, the last civ is highly possible to be Asian.

I've seen no hints whatsoever that one of the remaining civs is Native American. There's speculation about a new unit, but it could be for all Civs, and was in barbarian colors if I remember correctly.

Yep, that's called a "hint". If some of devs told "One of the civs will be native American", that would be confirmation, not hint

Generic units have generally either been Mesopotamian or European, the Tomahawk Warrior was pretty specifically Native American.

I dunno, could just mean more diversity for the generic units? The unit being in barbarian colors in the hint tells me it can't be a UU, because as far as I know they can only get UUs in mods.

Many variants are possible:
1. Barbarians could get UU in BNW in some conditions.
2. The real color for the civ wasn't yet implemented and this was actually the civ unit.
3. That's new generic unit or culture variation of some existing unit.
4. Developers wanted to give a hint so they purposely gave barbarians this unit.
etc.

Maybe the "European" civ are the Crusader States. It's Europea, outside Europe.
That building on the poster could be a crusader castle.
But this is highly unlikely and wiiiiild speculation
==================
On a different note:
Aesthetics is classical (alongside piety) and exploration is medieval (alongside commerce and patronage).
It probably was obvious, but now we know that there aren't any policy trees that will be unlocked after renaissance (rationalism).
It's logical as seen the central place the ideologies have, but still.

I still don't see Hungary as a realistic option but those do seem to be the ones getting talked about, yeah.
If South Africa is ever going to be in Civ, they are going to have Nelson Mandela as the leader, and he is not dead yet. The Boers in the scenario are probably going to have Paul Kruger as their leader.

The Native American civ is a complete toss up at the moment.

I'm Australian and I don't want Australia. It just seems silly and doesn't make sense to me. The modern Australia as we know it today being founded sometime in the late 1700/early 1800's just doesn't work for me and I feel we lack a central figure/founding father that would make any kind of sense in a civ game as a leader.
Maybe indigenous Australians could work but can you really call that Australia? "Australia" is a European creation and the country as it was to it's original owners was not seen as a collective group. Australian aborigines have thousands and thousands of different and separate cultures with as many different languages. Many of Australia's aborigines that lived in areas that today are one municipality belonged to cultures and spoke languages that were so different they were not able to communicate with the other group. So to represent indigenous Australians as one culture/civilization also really doesn't work in this context.
I think (and I'm glad) it's unlikely that Australia will be included in this game.
