[Connor_CivFan]

Just give me Albania and Skanderbeg and I’m happy

 

[Sirsquier]

My line up would look like this with two leaders per civ and one double leaders:

Vikings: Harold Hadrada or Guthrum
Anglo-Saxons: Alfred the Great or Harold Godwinson
England: Elizabeth 1 or King Richard the Lion Heart
Rome: Juilus Ceaser or Consotintine
Spain: Isabella or Philp 2
France: Napoleon
Mongolia: Gangis Khan
America: Donald J. Trump or George Washington


William the Conqueror: England France

Ones I don't have leaders for
Persia, Macedonian, Greece, india, China, kora, japan, maybe some native American tribes. Byzantium

I would love to see Ireland in the base game.

 

[Morningcalm]

If Ireland were included it would be as DLC, I suspect. And frankly we don’t need more European civs in the base game. We have plenty of “must have” European civs in the Civ formula already (i.e. the countries that buy Civ a lot, like Germany).

I'm totally fine with losing England, worldwide exporter of football hooliganism, if it means we get a cultured civ in its place.

 

[Leucarum]

I think that either they should equalize the civs by geographical region - in base game the new world was so empty in TSL (which I do enjoy) that I often preferred to leave the entire hemisphere blank - or have the base game be exclusively old world, then the 1st expansion be 10 new world civs and maybe an exploration/colonies focus... Though that would probably carry some serious controversies...

Why Richard who spent maybe six months of his life in England and didn't care that much about it?

 

[Sirsquier]

He fought in the crusades which might give him some cool alternate UA that has not been seen for england.

 

[Phrozen]

He did little for English culture or government except his real life capture and ransom almost bankrupting the Angevin Empire and being used for setting in the subsequent Robin Hood tales.

 

[Sirsquier]

I was thinking more of his skill in battle than how cultured he was. Maybe giving English units a combat bonus against units of civs of other faiths. Religion has not been an English thing so that might be cool. Maybe even something having to do with Robin Hood.

 

[TahamiTsunami]

I can definitely get behind having at least a little more of an even spread of civs in the base Civ 7. Each new game should be getting more civs anyway so that would mean either more DLC/expansions or or civs in the Vanilla version (perhaps about 25 or so). Assuming it would be anywhere from 25 to 30 civs, here's what I'd like to see in each region and what I'd like to see each region get in the DLC/expansions:

Europe: 6 (it's very unlikely it would have fewer than this)
- Rome (Trajan)
- England (Elizabeth I)
- France (Philip II)
- Germany (Otto von Bismarck)
- Russia (Catherine II)
- Greece (Cleisthenes)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Spain, Norway, Portugal, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Scotland, Ireland, Macedon, Austria, Denmark

Middle East: 4
- Persia (Cyrus)
- Phoenicia (Dido)
- Sumeria (Gilgamesh)
- Assyria (TiglathᐨPileser III)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Arabia, Babylonia, Scythia, Ottomans, Georgia, Armenia, Hebrews

Far East: 5
- China (Taizong)
- Japan (Hojo Tokimune)
- India (Chandragupta)
- Mongolia (Genghis Khan)
- Khmer (Jayavarman VII)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Korea, Siam, Burma, Vietnam, Philippines, Nepal, Yakutia

Africa: 4
- Egypt (Senusret III)
- Mali (Mansa Musa)
- Ethiopia (Menelik II)
- Kongo (Mvemba a Nzinga)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Zulu, Morocco, Nubia, Benin, Buganda, Zimbabwe, Swahili, Angola, Madagascar, Dahomey, Ashanti

Mesoamerica: 2
- Aztecs (Montezuma I)
- Maya (Wak Chanil Ajaw)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Purepecha aka Tarascans, Mixtec, Zapotec

North America: 4
- America (Theodore Roosevelt)
- Tlingit (Katlian)
- Iroquois (Thayendanegea)
- Navajo (Manuelito)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Cree, Canada, Comanche, Powhatan, Choctaw, Lakota/Sioux

South America: 2
- Inca (Pachacuti)
- Brazil (Pedro II)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Mapuche, Muisca, Colombia, Argentina

Oceania: 2 (depends on if you count Indonesia as part of Far East Asia or Oceania)
- Indonesia (Gitarja)
- Maori (Hongi Hika)

What I'd Want to See from DLC/Expansions: Australia, Hawaii, Tonga

[Michaelf7777777]

I like @TahamiTsunami idea of having more civs and leaders in the base game. My ideal 30 civilization line up with a male and female leader for every civ would be as follows:

America (Eleanor Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson)
Arabs (Zubaidah and Al-Ma'mun)
Byzantines (Pulcheria and Alexios I Komnenos)
Carthage (Dido and Hannibal)
China (Wu Zetian and Yongle)
Dahomey (Tassi Hangbe and Agaja)
Egypt (Hatshepsut and Thutmose III)
England (Elizabeth I and Alfred the Great)
Ethiopia (Eleni and Gebre Mesqel Lalibela)
France (Yolande of Aragon and Louis XIV)
Greece (Telesilla and Cleisthenes)
Hittites (Puduhepa and Supiluliuma I)
Inca (Mama Ocllo Coya and Pachacuti)
Iroquois (Molly Brant and Hiawatha)
Japan (Hojo Masako and Tokogawa Iemitsu)
Maurya's (Asandhimitra and Chandragupta)
Maya (Lady Xoc and Pacal)
Mongols (Mandukhai and Genghis Khan)
Mughals (Nur Jahan and Akbar)
Netherlands (Wilhelmina and Maurice)
Norse (Margaret I and Cnut the Great)
Nubia (Amanirenas and Taharqa)
Persia (Atossa and Shapur I)
Poland (Bona Sforza and John III Sobieski)
Rome (Julia Maesa and Cincinnatus)
Rus (Olga of Kiev and Peter the Great)
Spain (Isabella I of Castile and El Cid)
Turks (Roxelana and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk)
Vietnam (Trung Sisters and Ho Chi Minh)
Zulu (Mkabayi kaJama and Shaka)

Portugal! I cannot stress enough how Portugal was screwed in the last two instances. We have a history spanning 900+ years, at one point we owned (only on paper but still) half the world, we had amazing writers, explorers and kings and the first time they depict our civilization is with D.Maria I which in any way does justice to what Portugal was once and accomplished, being the second iteration the city-state Lisbon (too little) and Filipe I/II (that loathsome time where Castela ruled Portugal for 40 years, probably the lowest point in our history). They say third time's the charm, but I'm guessing nobody really cares about a country as small as Portugal these days, but if you guys enjoy the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas, Persians and Romans, even if you enjoy the kingdom of Spain (which was divided in five by most of its history) I'm certain you would appreciate portuguese history, and its more notable characters. First post and quite a long one so I apologise, but I cannot stress enough how much firaxis owes us a good Portuguese Civilization, if only once

 

[WickedChild]

I divided my Civ7 idea between 8 continents, 7 periods, plus vanilla, DLC and 2 expansions.

Although Civ5 and Civ6 introduced 18 vanilla civs, I modificated a bit putting 22, as this expansion is REALLY big (64 civs, it would be the biggest civ pack in the series), as I focused in brandnew civs:

Wakanda as a mod civ, maybe?
