Returning Civs - Elimination Thread

Assyria - 19
Babylon - 15+1=16 Just as worthy as the other entries on this list.
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 15
Iroquois - 23
Maya - 31
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 29
Siam - 1-1=0 They are worthy too. I’m less attached to them though. My apologies.

 

Assyria - 19+1=20 My first choice for an Ancient Civ.
Babylon - 15
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 15-3=12 Not my first choice for an Ancient Civ or another one from Anatolia even though they haven't been in the game for a while.
Iroquois - 23
Maya - 31
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 29

 

Assyria - 20
Babylon - 15+1=16 We need more Ancient Era civs, and Babylon has very strong credentials.
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 12-3= 9 Speaking of Ancient Era civs, the Hittites are the exact opposite. They dont have much credentials at all.
Iroquois - 23
Maya - 31
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 29

 

Correcting the values because Babylon should be at 17 - I can't vote for another few hours, but the increase to Babylon's score from The Kingmaker was missed by the next two voters.

Assyria - 20
Babylon - 17
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 9
Iroquois - 23
Maya - 31
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 29

 

Siam... I'm glad that at least there's a great Siam mod on Steam.

Assyria - 20
Babylon - 17
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 9
Iroquois - 20 (23-3) Iroquois would undoubtedly be one of my first choices for Native Americans of NA, but choices need to be made, and this one does not interest me as much as most others on the list.
Maya - 32 (31+1) All votes to the Mayans are few, they are too interesting and important, they simply should be in the base game.
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 29

 

Assyria - 20
Babylon - 17
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 9+1=10. Can't agree with the Hittite critics.
Iroquois - 20
Maya - 32
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 29-3=26. Too many seafaring, trading Europeans in the game already.

 

Assyria-20
Babylon-17+1=18 should last longer than Assyria
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 10
Iroquois - 20
Maya - 32
Morocco - 29
Portugal-26-3=23 nothing new another European Sea power

 

Assyria-20
Babylon-18
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 7 (10-3) Prefer Assyria and Babylon.
Iroquois - 21 (20 +1) Need a NA Civ and I liked them in Civ 5.
Maya - 32
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 23

 

Assyria-17 = 20-3 I also want Assyria back, but I had to pick between someone and at this point it will be rotating hits to even out scores and keep the faves on top. Sorry Assyria.
Babylon-18
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 8 = 7+1 I know they're next on the chopping block but I want to throw them a bone as well since I've always hoped for their return.
Iroquois - 21
Maya - 32
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 23

 

Assyria-17 =
Babylon-18
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 8
Iroquois - 21
Maya - 32 + 1 = 33 - Old favourite, it is a must be in the Civilization franchise
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 23 - 3 = 20 - Agree with most of the posts here... Already enough European maritime civs

 

Assyria-17
Babylon-15 (18 -3) I see this as a fairly average option among potential returning civs. I would have been disappointed to see it go in the early stages, but I don't see an especially compelling argument for it over the other top 10 options.
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 9 (8 + 1) Among the ancient near eastern civs, I'd very much prefer to switch things up and add the one that wasn't portrayed in Civ V.
Iroquois - 21
Maya - 33
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 20

 

Assyria-17
Babylon-15
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 9
Iroquois - 21
Maya - 33-3=30 - Do I miss the Maya? Of course I do. Do they deserve to be added? Absolutely. Are they going to make their are cramped and bloated with civs? Not at all. The thing here is that my interest in Maya is not that great to allow them such a significant lead.
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 20+1=21 - Eh, you guys are aware that Portugal was not just some random European naval empire, but the one who started the whole new era of exploration and colonialism, right? And that it could work very well with trade? And its Manueline architecture? And no, I don't think we have too many maritime European civs. Spain has an ability that I don't believe is often used - hardly a full maritime empire in Civ VI. The Netherlands have a ship unit and that's all. Again, hardly a maritime full maritime civ. Norway is one, I admit that, but it's tied to the viking legacy, making it unique case, with only England sort of remaining as a naval colonial Civ. That's not too many for me.

 

Assyria-17
Babylon-18
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 8
Iroquois - 21-3=18 I like Iroquois, but with addition of canada they would be in American-Canadian sandwich, that wold be eliminated in like first 20 turns, because of loyality on TSL maps (even the larger ones). Also, I think, that other regions of NA should be represented. Maybe with some newcomers like Inuit or Apache.
Maya -33
Morocco - 29
Portugal -20 I know that there is to much european civs, but fact, that Brazil is in the game and Portugal isn't is just absurd. I know that most of maritime civs are european, but it doesn't mean, that portugal doesn't deserve to be in the game. They cold get thing like "cities on continents other than capital city get faster border growth and can grab tiles belonging to someone else in the proces". This would be quite interesting and accurate mechanics. I definitly send support towards Portugese in Civ 6.

 

Some votes were skipped, just correcting, the current score is:

Assyria - 17
Babylon - 15
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 9
Iroquois - 18
Maya - 30
Morocco - 29
Portugal - 22

 

Assyria - 17
Babylon - 16 (15 + 1) - Feel like we've pretty much exhausted the argument on Babylon by now. I want them in the game
Byzantium - 16
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 9
Iroquois - 18
Maya - 30
Morocco - 26 (29 - 3) - I like Morocco as much as the next guy, but 2nd on this list is rich for my taste
Portugal - 22

 

Assyria - 17
Babylon - 16
Byzantium - 17 (16+1) There is an argument to be made about how there would be too many Greek leaders if Byzantium is added, but I don't think that should hinder such an important empire from appearing in the game.
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 6 (9-3) As mentioned before, they don't have much of a legacy to speak of.
Iroquois - 18
Maya - 30
Morocco - 26
Portugal - 22

 

Assyria - 17
Babylon - 17 (16+1) Only remaining contender to be in... Every. Single. Prior. Game. Bring them back.
Byzantium - 17
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 3 (6-3) Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if they made a comeback, but I’d prefer Babylon and Assyria first.
Iroquois - 18
Maya - 30
Morocco - 26
Portugal - 22

 

Assyria - 17
Babylon - 14 (17 - 3) - Doesn't fit VI's thesis. Also I'd prefer Armenia.
Byzantium - 17
Ethiopia - 26
Hittites - 3
Iroquois - 18
Maya - 30
Morocco - 27 (26 + 1) - The only remaining civ besides the Maya I have any attachment to.
Portugal - 22

 

Assyria - 17
Babylon - 14
Byzantium - 17
Ethiopia - 23 (26-3) Not a fan of civs that gonna start become good after medieval era.
Hittites - 4 (3+1) We need more ancient civs.
Iroquois - 18
Maya - 30
Morocco - 27
Portugal - 22

 

Assyria - 17
Babylon - 14
Byzantium - 17
Ethiopia - 23+1=24 Ethiopia has plenty of characteristics that can make it an early game Civ.
Hittites - 4
Iroquois - 18
Maya - 30
Morocco - 27-3=24 Maybe it's me but I feel like Morocco is too high and I don't feel as much attachment to them as I do most others who are lower.
Portugal - 22
