New Civs for Civ V?

However many we end up getting I think there should be an option to play a huge earth with all nations historically placed. That would include all expansion nations as and when they are released.

Trying to eek an empire out of an Earth game with 40 or 50 civs jockeying for position would be awesome. Might need to tweek the rules, timeframe or whatever to fit it all in of course.

That's exactly what I wanted as well, a giant RFC version of Civ, it would be awesome! The only scenario I usually play is RFC and it is my favorite one, Civ V should have that scenario or option.

The problem with this is that all of the Europeans start practically on top of each other and the Americans have all the free space they could possibly want, with only the Aztecs in their way. Or you could see it the other way around. Of course, someone's gonna make the map you want, and depending on how easy the editor is to use, you could get it in perhaps a week of the release.

I also think that Carthage should be destroyed.
My hand nears the red button... :nuke: :bump: :nuke:. ;)

That's exactly what I was talking about, places such as Africa don't have many civs at all whereas Europe has more than any other place in the world. That's why I wanted to introduce the Benin empire that could at least fill in a few gaps in Africa as well as the Native American tribes that could challenge the Americans.

That's the point. If you play a European then you'll have to make room for your empire to expand or look further afield at unoccupied lands to move to. On the other hand you'll have lots of neighbours to form relationships and trade with. It'll be more intense straight off the bat.
 
In fact, both civs should be in the game, Assyria for it's once powerful empire, and Armenia for it's stamina, both civs have a long ang fruitful history.

You Armenian as well? High Five! And I agree, Assyrians had an ancient empire, while Armenia had a huge culture over 3000 years. I know Assyrians as well. They are both civilizations that need to be more known, as that is the only obstacle for them becoming a civilization.

I agree, more people should be informed about the two (and plenty others) potential civs, they could make a great impact to the game.
 
Elves, Dwarves, Dragonkin, Zombies, and Vampires.

Harkonen, Fremen, Guild, Bene Geserit, and Atriedes.

With Babylonia going out as it is, it seems evident Firaxis is going to be selling bits and pieces. With that as my starting point (and a personal habit of jumping to wild unbased conclusions), I'd bet dollars to donuts that a Fantasy Expansion Pack is already in the works.

I think I'll be playing the Dragons.

Which will typically result in a unified Europe, with a massive american empire across the sea that will likely be more powerful than Europe itself by the time the two meet.

Another problem that arises is, for a Civ 3 example, you take out the French homeland but they have around 12 cities in Central Asia that you then will have to mop up. Call me lazy, but that's not fun, especially when they still won't talk to you and are sending raiding parties to attack your settlers and outer defenses.

add Werewolves and the Greys to that list please.

Just play Europa Universalis!

:joke:

But that would be a good idea for civ. It's just that civ is not made for a map with 40-50+ nations on it.
 
Civ3 was great with 31 civs if you played on a big enough map. I made a slightly modified version of that TeTrukhan map with the US added and because of tech trading America was always technologically behind but quickly caught up after meeting Europe.
