So it seems that Civ VII will launch with 30/31 Civs with 10 in each era + Shawnee. The devs said in one of the early livestreams that the AI will automatically prefer historic pathways, but to me it that doesnt make much sense when you think about what civs will be included. There are some obvious historical pathways such as Maurya to Chola to Mughal and Han to Ming to Qing, but at the same time Hawaii, Meiji, and Inca just seem totally random. Im sure they will all obtain more historically pathways in the future with the release of new content, but what will the base game look like if you the player are playing a game with 10 civs (assuming thats the maximum) and choosing historical paths. Im predicting that the AI will choose:
Han to Ming to Qing
Maurya to Chola to Mughal
Khmer to Indonesia to Siam
Axum to Songhai to Buganda
Mississippi to Shawnee to America
Maya to Inca to Mexico
Rome & Greece to Spain & Normans to France & Britain
and possibly Persia to Mongols to Russia even though thats a bit of a stretch
This is all assuming that Britain and Russia will be in the game, which i could be wrong about but Britain is too historically significant to leave out imo and a Russian building has apparently been spotted in the game already
Egypt to Abbasid is obvious but where would the ai go from there? Japan? I think its safe to say that the civs chosen for this game couldve been better representative of history, but it appears that this game is just gonna feel like humankind at launch, with Ai transforming into radically different cultures at era transitions. What do yall think?
