Actually, the more I look at the image (no pun intended) the more of a moorish vibe I pick up - which was also my first impression during the video chat...

I'm eating pizza while reading the forums. This speculation thrills me 
I think it's moorish. But the architecture doesn't convince me.

If Vlad Tepes were included, I would think he'd lead a more general Romanian civ than Wallachia specifically.
Or I suppose they could milk the Dracula thing for all it's worth and call the civ Transylvania, even though Vlad Tepes didn't rule Transylvania. That would be annoying and gimmicky, but no more so than Carthage and their elephant symbol. . . .

Wish I could find a good picture of that poster.

It seems like when he was discussing the Scramble for Africa scenario Dennis "let slip" that there were North African Civs in the Brave New World-could this be a leader of that civ?
I mean technically North African Civs could just be referring to Egypt, Carthage, and Songhai, but if we got a new one I'd have to guess Morocco. It would make sense for their decision to randomly generate Africa, since Morocco and Carthage would overlap I believe.

Carthage has nothing to do with the scramble of Africa XD

Carthage wouldn't be in the scenario. It's about the European Colonial period. Possible North African civs for that time period include Morocco, Berbers, Tuareg, and the like.
I'd imagine the Berbers and Morocco would be one in the same, most likely.

2000 or so years out there 
And I'm not so sure Ramesses really fits for period-Egypt either! I can see there being an Ottoman presence, but beyond that... I'm really not sure. Are Moors/Morocco contemporary with that? Songhai could be renamed for their area of the map, and Ethiopia will fit as will the expected Zulu... that leaves potential space for Kongo in the sub-saharan region, but the northern section I'm really not sure how will work.

Thank you so much! For me recorded twitch videos dont have audio, so I have to find people who upload them to youtube.

Technically Mali is not in North Africa since it's south of the Sahara.
Geographically, most of Mali is in the Saharan desert.
I think Dennis said that it was adding more systems - that's why there's only to scenarios coming.This expansion is going to be
Sounds like this expansion is going to add more than G&K did.
