have we also considered the possibility that some civs won’t have historical paths all the way through? It might be more respectful, for example, for exploration age Shawnee to have no historic path, or use a thematic/geographic feature path like Egypt to Songhai (perhaps another, more recent indigenous culture which has resisted its colonizers), than lead into the US
Yamato is also the name of the major Japanese ethnicity, since this is the population they directly descend from. Pro is continuity, con is there might not be as much distinction compared to Jomon.
As much as Korea is a big market, idk if it’ll get one in all three. In civ 4 we got Goguryeo, then Civ 5 Joseon, and Civ 6 Silla. Since Goguryeo fully united the peninsula temporarily, and hasn’t been highlighted in a while, if we are getting one in all three, I would like to see Goguryeo again rather than Baekje. Could be interesting too—Military to Science/Cultural to Cultural/Industrial
Bonus is Goguryeo can function more comfortably in Antiquity compared to Baekje and Silla
