New Civs VOTE

[Mad Bomber]

The Atlanteans? Your joking of course, Yes lets include the only civ that we can't prove to have existed. Thera may have been a site for Atlantis (if it did exist) but there are many other sites that could fit the discription of Atlantis, There are two sites that provide excellent alternatives to Thera, one is near the coast of Mexico, the other is just off the coast of a Japenese island. But can we please stick with the civ's that we do know to have existed. (I must admit though that they would have a great UU- death ray infantry (50/50/1)

LOL death ray infantry (50/50/1) sounds just unbeatable. Positively perfect.

@GM Nick: MJ a luxury? No way, mon, it's jus' below air and water, slightly ahead of food....

Re:Sub-saharan African civs:

My HO is that more diversity here is needed. Adding civs to represent the Swahili coast AND the Hausa city-states would balance out the game and give proper historic recognition of a continent that is, after all, not much smaller than Asia in land mass.

And don't forget Abyssinia/Ethiopia. A very important civ, IMO, since after the rise of Islam, Ethiopia was a Christian civ cut off from all other Christian civs and so we get a very different and interesting civ...Christian but not part of Holy Roman Empire or Eastern Orthodox churches....

Plus any aspect of the game which stirs interest in areas of history that tend to be overlooked, or serves to decrease the general ignorance of most of us, is in my books a good thing. The caveat being that CIV3 is only a game and for true historical understanding you have to go outside the game and read up on the stuff that truly interests you.

A question to any/all Africanists out there: would 4 civs (Zulus, Hausa city states, Swahili coast, and Abyssinia) fairly represent the diversity of Sub-Saharan African civs? What about "Great Zimbabwe?" (not Zulu).

Civ on!

Put Canada in an I'll be happy. There are tons of reasons why. Please don't give me the typical response I usually receive like, we want civilizations. Because the Americans are not a civilization, son. Throw Israel in too, King David.

 

[KaNick]

Alpine Trooper, Canada is already int the game. Didn't you notice America? Canada is just one of their states

 

[Parsifal]

Another civ poll?

Still, it's nice to see that the Goths have finally got a mention in this context.

Here, here to the Africanists!

 

[zoom314]

Sorry to tell You GrandMasta Nick, But Canada is not part of the USA. It never has been Ever. There are Only 50 States in the United States of America and Canada is not one of them. But Canada is one of Our nearest Neighbors and Good Friend to boot too.

 

[KaNick]

Yes thank you zoom, but I already knew this. I was having a go at somthing called a "joke." I'm not surprised that you have not heard of it before, it is somewhat of a new concept.

 

[zoom314]

sorry about that, sometimes jokes pass unnoticed right by Me.

 

[muppet]

Don't the 13 red and white stripes represent colonies?
Ten stripes for Canadian Provinces.
Two stripes for Canadian Territories.
One for Guam.

Making Canada states number 51 - 62!

 

[zoom314]

And all this Time I thought that Our flag had 13 red and white stripes with the union jack in the upper left corner of the flag... LOL Thanks for the Humor alert.

 

[Mad Bomber]

Its just to bad that Montgomery & Benidict Arnold couldn't close the deal.......

 

[ComradeDavo]

I would like to see a Goth civ...but that's entirely coz of the name!

 

[HotDog Fish]

I want a Khmer civ, hey! at least we had an empire stretching from eastern India to Indonesia and our culture affrected every people we encompassed! there would be Vietnam or Thailand as we know it today without the Khmer

 

[Pangur Bán]

I wonder how many people were thinking about the Atlanteans when they voted "other" ?

 

[lordwu84]

Needed Civs:

Mali or Songhai: Huge empires with millions of inhabitants influencing most of Africa and the middle East (Mansa Musa's pilgramage to Mecca, he supposedly gave away so much gold that gold prices were deflated for 20 years).

Assyrians: Again, huge empire, conquered all of Middle east, Egypt, if there's Persians and Arabs, there has to Assyrians.

 

[Jimcat]

If you're going to have Atlantis, I want Mu and Lemuria as well.
