Which Civ do you want in Civ V?

Attacking enemies with Polish Hussars cavalry under Polish flag would be a delightful surprise.

I feel the hebrews should be put in. Can anyone argue that they haven't had a tremendous impact on world history? First off, Jesus was jewish, as were all of the original christians except for luke, who was a doctor lol: think about it, the only one that wasn't jewish was a doctor). Was Christianity influential? if you argue not, get your head examined. The jews were a tremendous power in the middle east during the time of david, and were a true world power during the reign of solomon. The jews controlled so many aspects of world society, even after they were exiled from their land and their temples destroyed. They controlled the arts in germany up until WW2, they controlled the economy throughout the middle ages. Einstein was jewish. Oppenheimer was jewish. So many other great brains were jewish.

Spoiler :

(the reason for that is, through the study ethic that the jews acquired, they passed, in their dna, a genetic memory to their descendants that makes them OCD when it comes to studying.)

Do you really think that they shouldn't be included after all that? I admit, that might sound biased, but still, doesn't it contain a kernel of truth? Anyway, post your ideas for civs you want in civ 5. After all, I believe Firaxis has someone monitoring the Civ5 General Discussions forum, so maybe they'll listen to us.

I agree that the ancient Hebrews should be in the game. But this has nothing to do with modern European Jews, who are precisely that ... modern ... a modern construct of the societies they live in, otherwise indistinguishable from the native population. Oppenheimer has less connection to the ancient Hebrews than Yasser Arafat, who was at least a native of the region. Likewise modern Zionism should have nothing to do with any Israeli/Judah civ added. While a state exists today which is called "Israel", it has no continuity with the ancient Jewish state(s) under David and Soloman, and would never be a solid candidate for addition on its own.

Yes, but Christianity and Islam, as children of judaism, would never have occured if jews did not exist. Can you imagine what the world would be like without those two religions?

Spoiler :

Besides, Sid Meier's jewish.

Didn't I say in a previous post that I mean ancient Israel, not the modern state?

 

[civ_king]

for the last time
JUDAISM≠ISRAEL

 

[nzk13]

fine, fine.

 

[civ_king]

They also weren't even a major power in their area, they aren't
Space filler
Well Known
Powerful in Area/Time
all the Civs fill two-three of those requirements

Thanks for the clarification! You were talking about Oppenheimer and Einstein though, who have nothing to do with ancient Israel.

I mean the jews, throughout history in general. Most of history, the indians were a bunch of barbarians. And the Indian government is not, shall we say, super-organized.

i clearly see that only reason for this thread is to develop your racist propaganda.
that jews are great and asian tribes are barbarians

what's got all those you have written to do with the game?

 

[nzk13]

No, developing my racist propaganda is only a nice by-product. It's just that apparently alot of people wanted to argue with my racist propaganda so i argue back. If they would just shut up about that then we could get back on-topic. You know, people saying which civs they want in civ5 or possibly one of the expansion packs. (not announced, but we know they're coming).

 

[climat]

Back to the topic
Any of the new civs will be a great addition to Civ V.
I wish to have more variety (e.g. Tibet but it will make Chinese upset, certainly. So it would not happen.)

 

[azbestor]

For Poland,yes and no. One of the biggest countries in Europe on it's peak,we gave and won biggest medieval battle and things like Vienna and Kirholm,also we sat at Kremlin for some time (one of the reasons,why Russian hates us),which Napoleon failed. Yet we succumbed later, thanks to giving nobility to much rights and failure to choose right guy to rule,for example after Batory's death.

Poland would be hard to implement,as we get conquered and still not defeated,if anybody heard of underground country.

we just don't need to go back to the topic here in this thread.
there are many threads discussing who will be the 18 civs already. i will delete my subscription for this one and i reported this thread.

 

[nzk13]

what do you mean by 'reported this thread'?

 

[kochman]

Which Civ do you want in Civ V?

From West to east... kind of...
Portugal
Spain
Mali
England
France
Dutch
German
Dane/Viking
Swede
Roman
Italia
Poland
Hungary
Romania
Byzantine
Egypt
Zulu
Ethiopia
Ukraine
Russia
Turk
Arab
Persian
Indian
Mongol
Cambodia/Khmer
China
Korean
Japan
USA

That and... Camarilla, chill the hell out! It's not like he's bringing up the Turkish genocide of the Armenians or something.

 

[nzk13]

Again, people, I think Firaxis has someone in PR watching the 'Civ5 - General Discussions' forum. So, what we post here might actually count, if firaxis hasn't already decided on who will be in yet.

 

[Churchill's Hat]

Honestly, I think that we need the Ottomans/Turks (Turks is better, but Firaxis will probably still use Ottomans) in the game. They were very important historically, much more so than any Eastern European civs not named Russia or Greece (and arguably Greece, but they can both be in). Furthermore, they haven't had the best representation. Firaxis could put a sub-Saharan African civ in and the Ottomans, giving enough surprise for vanilla Civ 5.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Sid Meier is not Jewish. He's Lutheran.

 

[pesgores]

I want most Modern age civs that are either joined or miss:
-Canada
-Mexico
-Brazil
-Argentina
-South Africa
-Switzerland
-Norway
-Sweden
-Finland
-Poland (lulz)
-Ukraine
-Something to represent all those 'stans
-Australia

Being limited to only 18 civs is...limiting gameplay. Also limit of 18 civs per scenario is also irrational. Max should be 24, at least.

This, the Ottomans where extremely important and powerful and well known therefore they should be in
