[Poll] What Nordic Civs do you want in Civ VI?

[j51]

Not to be a dink, but you should probably make a poll within this forum. I noticed that it's possible to vote multiple times in your poll.

Personally speaking I don't want to see anything relate to "Viking" in Civ6's Nordic civ, instead, what I want to see is a (late)medieval/Renaissance era Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Kalmar Union.

Sadly, I doubt that Firaxis will still prefer some Viking elements.

While the Kalmar era and Swedish Empires are neat, and totally worthy of representation. The Viking era is super iconic. I doubt they'll take them out entirely. At best, we'll get a split like in CiV or, hopefully a Norse/Kalmar civ under Margaret with the Berserker unit and some longships representing the Viking age.

If there is a Scandinavian civ in Civ VI, it probably won't be viking-oriented. England's Redcoats got the very viking-ish ability to move after disembarking.

Maybe Norway will be the Viking civ? Or even Iceland?

Yes, Viking was a profession, but the point still stands that a Norse civilization would both cover Scandinavia and not require Scandinavia to take up multiple slots that could have been filled by non-European nations. I'd be in favor of a Norse civilization. Though dialectally diverse and politically non-cohesive, the Norse were culturally closely linked; I don't see any reason why they couldn't be represented by one civ any more than we need the Mohawk, Seneca, Onondaga, Oneida, and Cayuga as separate civs.

And the late addition, Tuscarora.
Fine with me, one Scandinavian Civ named NORSE. With longboats-capable of traversing oceans and large rivers, Vikings (as units), berserkers-perhaps. A raiding-militaristic, colonial, commercial, explorer nation. With many great leader possibilities.
Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and other (Norse cities in England, perhaps a Greenland settlement, maybe Vinland) city names of their era used as Norse city names in the game.

However, Sweden should be separate from them, although sharing parts of the history/culture. Sweden has a long and original history of its own to warrant it being a separate civ in the game.

So I vote for two Scandinavian Civilizations in CVI: NORSE and SWEDEN.
