What will the next DLC have?

[starrywisdom]

It has to have Kwacha or turtleship. However, a spy type unit should be added to the general game. We sure need something to give it more flavor, right now its like a bland fruitcake[/b.

FTFY - a meatloaf you can still eat or give to someone and they may enjoy it. A bland fruitcake is something that noone will ever want

Most would not want a fruitcake period. lol!

How about Belgium and Kongo

 

[Kimuyama]

I dunno about belgium, not to sound ignorant or something, but the way I see it Belgium is (historically) "Half Dutch, Half French Ruled by Spain". The Netherlands should get in first.
Congo, on the other hand, that's something interesting!

And I don't get all these recent fruitcake/meatloaf-metaphors

EDIT:
But Belgium/Congo could make a neat double-pack (along with zulus) with a scramble for Africa scenario.

Well obviously the dutch are more important. But they've already been mentioned. There are several more civs that need to be added before Belgium. But I like the "scramble for Africa" idea.

 

[ShahJahanII]

This should be a sticky

Metaphors= To add things to the game so it has more flavor, more depth, like a fruitcake, better yet, like a good spaghetti sauce.

Belgium/Congo= Not a bad idea, but I would imagine it would be called the Dutch or Netherlands. What a horrible colony the Congo was, I am not sure if that would be their first choice, with all the atrocities that occurred there and all, and are still occurring there in that region. As for myself, it is an intricate part of history, so I would not mind. To me history cannot be ignored, and horrible things that happened to people should be remembered, at least that way they have some justice. If Congo was in the game it would be one very fat target.

A colonization of Africa scenario would be excellent to reintroduce colonies into the game. I would love to see the Zulus in CiV as well.

I'd rather see some new leaders for the existing civs than an entire civilization.

Give me Hadrian for Rome, Leonidas for Greece and Lenin for Russia!

Not me at this point, because there would be no scrap of difference between them. No civ or leader for that matter, acts different than any other for the most part. They all end up at some point doing the same old thing, and none of it is surprising.

How about an independant Québec civ

Not the congo colony, I meant the Kongo Kingdom, a native African kingdom that was around long before the Europeans started exploring Africa.

 

[Kimuyama]

I too meant Belgium and Congo (or Kongo, what ever) as seperate civs, along with the Zulus in a triple-pack (I wrote double in my last post, which might have caused some confusion).


Thanks for explaining the fruitcake-metaphor, nokmirt!

 

[Pouakai]

How about instead of that, have the Dutch, Kongo and Zulu, and Belgium can be a scenario-specific civilization

 

[Kimuyama]

That could work too, in fact it would almost be better.
How about focusing the eventual expansion pack on colonialism, like the first for cIV focused on warlords? That would open for civs like the Netherlands and Portugal, as well as "native" civs such as Kongo, Zulu, Majapahit, Mapuche, Apache, Maya, Australian aboriginals and Malagasy and older colonial civilizations like Phoenicia.

EDIT: Oh, and Ethiopia

 

[nokmirt]

Good choice that would be interesting.

 

[glhassumpcao]

Here is my list, its not actually what i "want" to have, but actually a list i can remember now without consult of all civilizations that still are missing (no matter thier size or importance

Maya - was the only of the 3 (Aztec and Inca) witch was not a true "empire" but a high advanced society for its time, still they fought the spanish

Celts - there is a mod but i still not tested it
or instead add Scottland and Ireland (would be illogical to have them 3 since those last two CAME from the celts hehe)

Apache - they fought the Americans for their lands, and if i dont mistake also against british and french too; i wont google cause it will loose the fun

Norway - since they put the denmark they can put Norway too

Brazil and Portugal - its my country and it as old as America so i must add it , we had some wars here too
(just a few thou hehe, most of the action on south america along the history was along the west coast, majory the spains against the incas, then later the spanish against Bolivar leader and lots of spanish countries like Peru, Colombia (Great Colombia), Bolivia and Venezuela. And about Portugal it would be nice too, as special units could have the Bandeirantes.

Nice list, but Norway is already in the game as part of the Denmark. The Danes already have a Norwegian UU and Citynames. I support adding Portugal and Brazil, since Portugal was the first European colonial empire and Brazil really deserves a spot in the game.

...

...

Nah, Sweden'd come before Norway, besides, Norway is already in the game, under Danish rule.

I doubt they will put in more than one Scandinavian civ.

 

[mitsho]

Sweden is a perfect contender for a 30-years scenario which can go hand in hand with reintroducing Religion again. If they wouldn't have that option in mind, they would have just named the Viking Civ Vikings, and not Denmark(-Norway).
