The internet in a nutshell.

Unless it was not an approved hint and the powers that be make them remove it.
Or they replace it with a different hint, flowers native to the region of the next civ, or something like that.
Don't ruin Sweden for me.
I did think of GoT however when they said "Raven King."

I feel that they are the most anticipated by the fan community at large (not the Fanatics) of the Civs that are included in this expansion (based on the leak). Because of that, I think that they will be saved until the end. Similar to how the Zulu were for R&F, although Mongolia could have fit there as well - but they were teased in the R&F trailer.Why do you think Ottoman Turks will be last?

That is very, very sound logic sir.I disagree with this because it's incomplete reasoning. Mongolia is a huge, necessary civ that was not only anticipated but practically mandatory. It's not a civ announced late to be surprising; it's a civ announced early to build faith in the developers.
The Zulu, by contrast, were not guaranteed or necessary, because we already had Kongo. They were announced last to keep people guessing at what the African civ might be, and to reward them with relief that it was a fan favorite.
The equivalent to Mongolia in this expansion is the Ottomans; they will likely be shown third or fourth to reassure buyers that this is a good expansion full of worthwhile things and that they should preorder.
The equivalent to the Zulu in this expack is Mali. To everyone unaware of the leak, they still don't know whether they will have to give up Mali for the sake of Songhai again, or a new civ like Ghana or Ashanti (imo, civs that should remain city states if anything). Mali is the same sigh of relief that the Zulu were in R&F, and the only civ that could come close to matching that as a last reveal is the Inca.
Ottomans will be an earlier announcement, because they are the least surprising addition to the roster. They'd be kind of underwhelming as a final reveal.
I'll know how you feel when Mali comes up...and eventually Italy.Whoever it is, I've got the Maori with wayfinding. I'm very happy.
