Why are the people of India not outraged over making Gandhi a nuke fanatic?

The Civ games probably aren't too popular in India. There's no Hindi language version of the game.
On the other hand, quite a few people in India speak English, which is (as I understand) displacing Hindi as the lingua franca in many parts of India, and is also one of India's official languages.

That might be the reason why Firaxis has zero plans on releasing a Hindi localization of Civ.

I think this explains the superiority of Fahrenheit in terms of use by humans.
As a scientist, I might be biased, but explain to me how it is more logical to take two almost completely arbitrary points for 0 and 100 degrees than it is to take the melting and boiling point of the compound that is most vital to life, most common on earth and most used in industry? (oh, and that happens to be used by 95% of the world already)
Edit: Oh and I would say that picture of yours isn't all that accurate. While I don't exactly like 38 degrees C, it's much, much better than -18 degrees C.

Over on the polling thread it mentions a Chinese forum claiming to write the localised Civilopedia articals for Zulu and Celts' "Brave Heart" suggesting William Wallace.
I wouldn‘t like that at all. I can do without the Zulu and if we get Uallas, he should lead Scotland. Plus Zulus would likely be heavy warmongers, and we already got that. Uallas might get interesting defensive bonuses towards loyalty or something, which could be nice.

And always provide open boarders and can attack units whilst not at war.
Nah, it should be possible to declare war against them. It‘s armed neutrality after all.
Can send its units to fight in wars between other civs for money.

If, hypothetically, those leaks are true and William Wallace leads the "Celts", it is possible that he has only Scottish/Gaelic cities. Which in this case would make him a Gaelic leader.
Still a step up from Civ 5 Celts tho
Also if true, it would mean either the Ottomans OR the Inca are out unless Nandi would lead the Zulu over Shaka (which would cause a massive outrage with the casual fans.)

I'm taking the Chinese leak with a huge grain of salt unless/until we get some sort of evidence the guy isn't just making things up

Although I don't think there was any claim that those civs would be revealed next, so it could be accurate but we still get one of the more likely civs this coming week. ("More likely" based on the poll that closed yesterday)
I'm going to stubbornly stick with Mali as my guess for this coming week.

Do the claims directly revolve around the Rise and Fall expansion? Is it possible that it references future civs further down the line, such as DLC and an expansion?
I don't know what the time-frame for translating these things is, but with these civ coming out in only a month - would that be enough time for proper testing and such?

What is the source for these leaks? I really hope they aren't true. I would much prefer the Mali or especially a new civ like the Ashanti over the Zulu, who were definitely not influential enough to merit inclusion in every iteration of the series. (Sidenote: Ashanti literally means 'unpeaceful' in Indic languages, so that's a funny coincidence.)
The Celts would be a bad choice as well, especially if implemented like in Civ5 where it was an unhistorical amalgamation of Ireland/Scotland/Wales under a leader who had no relation to those regions. Italy deserves a spot instead. It would be amazing to have two leaders for Italy representing different city states such as Florence and Venice, just like Greece with Gorgo and Pericles.

That's true. Around 60% of Indians don't even speak Hindi, and virtually every Indian communicates in English online, so that's why there's never a Hindi version of any game.
I'm not sure it would be better. I mean it's good if they choose to focus on a particular group but calling them the Celts would just defy all reason.If, hypothetically, those leaks are true and William Wallace leads the "Celts", it is possible that he has only Scottish/Gaelic cities. Which in this case would make him a Gaelic leader.

Gets Swiss Pike UU at Mercenaries. Now should they have a UI for a dairy or a UB for some sort of bank. Also Alpine Horns and Yodeling for the Music.
Do we know if they would be called the Celts? The could be called the Gaels/Gaelic Empire encompassing both Ireland and Scotland.
Edit: I remember now that Armagh is still a city-state though located in Northern Ireland. This complicates things.
