Really? I can't remember the unit. Thanks for the reminder.
It was the Drone.

Nope, Brunei isn't. I missed that, but I already fixed that thanks to @Chasethemage.So Canada and Brunei are still possible.
Jakarta - Indonesia(DLC) - replaced byBandar Brunei - Brunei(appeared in the Full Details video)
Jerusalem - Hebrews, Israel
Kabul - Afghanistan(appeared in Korea livestream)
That would be crazy! I'd take it. But it's a small possibility.Spotted this and could not avoid thinking: headbanded young guy might be a King David depiction. Shades of blue may fit.
The guy in the portrait doesn't look remotely like the right race for King David. He looks South American to me. I don't think Hebrews/Israel will happen as I suspect that Firaxis will (very wisely) steer clear of that particular thorny issue.Spotted this and could not avoid thinking: headbanded young guy might be a King David depiction.

Hebrew and Mapuche may be considered at similar level of controversy-ness (if for different reasons)
Any possibility of suspected Lautaro being other guy?
I saw Italy. It is a Renaissance Era unit after all.Hmm... Looking at the Pike & Shot, two things immediately popped up in my mind. One was Sweden and the other one was EU4

Not to mention that there's precious little actual history (outside the Bible) to be basing a civ around David or Solomon. I mean I guess we have Gilgamesh, but the fewer legendary leaders the better in my book

As much as I would kill to have the Hebrews playable as an official civ, you are 100% correct that it will never, ever happen.The guy in the portrait doesn't look remotely like the right race for King David.

I wouldn't call the bible more reliable than other sources, but I also don't see how it is less reliable? You sometimes need to do some reading between the lines, but the bible tends to at least portray the people it talks about with a lot more flaws than most sources from ancient and classical times.
Still, it's interesting that Toronto is one of the two CS that still weren't spotted in R&FI'm not betting on either Israel or Canada making it to Rise and Fall....
