Ok, how about this: how physically close to the globe do we expect the Swedish ruler to be? How do we expect her voice to sound?
On a vaguely related note, it might be fun for future sneak peeks to be sneak listens (musical notes), or sneak animation peeks of hand gestures, or eye movement, perhaps.
Hmm. This position has never made sense to me. Post-Roman Italy is sufficiently distinct from the Roman Empire that one might as well have an issue with Sumeria and Persia co-existing. Or either of those and Arabia.
I think we have discussed this elsewhere in the Ideas and Suggestions forum, but having two civs, each of which *originated* and had their power base in Italy, with Italian bloodlines (however altered and mixed over the centuries) to be seems like two bites of the apple (and this is in part why I detest there being essentially three Greek leaders, two from "Greece" and one from "Macedonia").
In principle I wouldn't mind everyone getting two bites of the apple if it wasn't for the potential for a) shafting African, Asian, or other non-European regions as overlap civs in recent years mostly come from Europe, if Civ V and VI are examples), and b) the proliferation of too many civs from the same areas necessarily crowding out many other civs from entirely different areas (each Civ game only takes around 40 civs or slightly over in recent years).
Yeah, Venice and the ancient Romans were distinguishable (albeit closer culturally than one might think); no one contests that--but that to me isn't the biggest objection to having two Italian-based civs in again (this ignoring the fact it has been done before in Civ V).
But that's old ground and discussing it further would risk veering too much off-topic (or taking much too much digital ink in this thread specifically). I would refer you to similar discussions in Ideas and Suggestions (IIRC) on the same.
We could finally get a Wizarding British Civ and introduce magic as a yield.
That sounds like a neat scenario idea for sure.
