Which Civs/Nations do you want in the first Expansion for CivV?

[awesome]

some kind of aboriginal australian group, or the maori? maori could be led by hongi hika.

OK, with the maori, it's Hone Heke. And he was more of a Political activist, instead of a leader. I'd suggest Te Rauparaha as the leader, with Taiaha Warrior as the UU and Pa (Replaces Castle, city must be built on hill) as the UB.

hongi hika was important in the first musket war and i think he was hone heke's uncle or something. i never heard of te rauparaha, so i just looked him up. he didn't join the musket wars until 1819, a whole 12 years after they started, sooo yeah.
as for the unit, building and ability...

Spoiler :

...well, i got bored one day. ____ warrior is a generic name, so i went with toa, because that's a maori word for warrior. and a castle that has to be built on a hill makes the building weaker, so that makes no sense.

Maori:
Leader: Hongi Hika/Te Rauparaha
Unique unit: Toa
Replaces: Warrior
Hammers: 40
Strength: 7
Moves: 2
Ranged combat: N/A
Required resource: N/A
Upgrades to: Swordsman
Notes: N/A
Unique building: Marae
Replaces: Monastery
Production cost: 120
Maintenance: 2 gold
Required technology: Theology
Specialist slots: artist?
Effect: 4 culture
Ability:
Maori Shields: All land military units start with Cover I

the ability is kinda meh, but the unit and building are pretty decent, so i figured they didn't need an awesome ability. so to sum up, unit is a warrior with 1 extra point of base strength; building is a monastery that doesn't require any resources but doesn't get bonuses from them either, gets 4 points of culture and has a slot for an artist; ability is less damage from ranged attacks.

 

[awesome]

double post, oops.

Aah, I thought you'd made a mistake in spelling Hone Heke. Either way, Te Rauparaha was a massive warlord. He's called the 'Napoleon of the South pacific'. He (sucessfully) took part in a 3 month siege of a Pa (Maori village/city) and subsequent invasions across the south island, despite coming from Taranaki.

Toa is (No offence) but a useless name. If you don't like having '______ Warrior', then how about just 'Taiaha'? Also, I think it should replace Swordsman, and not require Iron to build. It matches the era much better.

Nice idea for Marae, but since when was a priest a specialist?

Also, maybe for the ability something about getting additional XP when killing a (Non-barbarian) unit? (Maori often ate their fallen enemies to gain their Mana)

 

[Oohforf]

Austrian Empire - Maria Theresa
Korean Empire - Wang Kon
Zulu Empire - Shaka Zulu
Ethiopian Empire - Zara Yaqob
Portuguese Empire - John II
Sioux Empire - Sitting Bull
Mayan Empire - K'inich Janaab' Pakal
Celtic Empire - Boudica
Mbundu Empire - Queen Nzinga

Those are the empires that I would like to see in future expansions, hehe.

 

[Pouakai]

I'd like to see some leaders that haven't featured in Civ IV (Zara Yaqob, Wang Kon, Shaka Zulu, Boudica, John II, Sitting Bull, )

no offense taken. only issue i have with just "taiaha" is that's the weapon, but maybe they'd have to use taiaha warrior, at least it's better than just using maori warrior.
i thought there were priest specialists was for some reason. maybe some other kind of specialist.

 

[Pouakai]

The monastery etc. all use artists. Maybe have 1 artist slot and 1 engineer slot?

Priests come with the IndyStone D.U.C.K.S mod (If/when it comes out)

maybe trade wang kon for gwanggaeto. and i don't know about celts and austrians, europe is always so overrepresented. mbundu would be cool, though. i actually had to look that one up.

Alright, but I'm sticking to Boudica (I want another female figure), and Shaka Zulu, and Zara Yaqob, as I think there isn't much more for those two.


Austrian Empire - Maria Theresa (Good to have another female figure in the game)
Korean Empire - Gwanggaeto - (another oriental empire leader would be nice)
Zulu Empire - Shaka Zulu - (Good to have another African Empire, since Askia is kinda alone (not really counting Ramesess lol))
Ethiopian Empire - Zara Yaqob - (Above)
Portuguese Empire - Afonso V - (Why not?)
Sauk Empire - Black Hawk - (Really nice to see another first nations empire)
Mayan Empire - K'inich Janaab' Pakal (Pacal)- (To top it off with the incans and the Aztecs)
Celtic Empire - Boudica - (An amazing woman figure in history, and everybody loves the celtics ^^)
Mbundu Empire - Queen Nzinga - (A great female warrior queen in history. Another nice African empire leader.)

There, I updated my list a bit, teehee.

 

[Pouakai]

What about the Nubians instead of Ethiopia?

 

[Oohforf]

No, that would be too close to Egypt.

 

[awesome]

haille salassie could sell more copies in jamaica. yeah, i went there.

 

[Pouakai]

No, that would be too close to Egypt.

How about Great Zimbabwe then?

 

[IgorS]

Of course there is more to Ethiopia and Zululand. The Zulu also had Cetshwayo. I still would pick Shaka for the Zulu. As for Ethiopia - Haile Sealssie and Menelik are much better chioces than Zara Yaqob.

 

[Oohforf]

That wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Of course there is more to Ethiopia and Zululand. The Zulu also had Cetshwayo. I still would pick Shaka for the Zulu. As for Ethiopia - Haile Sealssie and Menelik are much better chioces than Zara Yaqob.

Yeah, Haile Eelassie I wouldn't be bad at all. I probably just chose Zara Yaqob because I like to use older civs rather than ones that have passed away in more recent times.

haille salassie could sell more copies in jamaica.

Lolz, I'm Jamaican, but not a rasta.

 

[Pouakai]

I know it's highly unlikely with Tyre and Sidon etc. featuring as City States, but I'd love for the Phoenician empire to be included.

Also maybe the Berbers or Moors, with an Alhambra wonder to match

 

[Thor Macklin]

So anyone gonna submit the finalized list?

Eh, the phonecians really aren't as.... militaristic as the Carthaginians, and
do you know of any FAMOUS phonecian leader? Though it does seem that
the phonecians would be a nice substitute for Sidon, Tyre, and others while
still covering carthage.

 

[awesome]

i still say maori should be in there instead of majapahit. indonesia is kind of close to siam on a world map.
