Which Entities do you want in Civ V that Have Never Been In Before?

[mica8911]

Denmark for sure

 

[awesome]

maori would be cool.

 

[Skwink]

When was there a civilization called Nubia?

Couple a thousand years ago. On the poll, Ireland ftw!

 

[Aramel]

I think Poland should be in, but this is mainly because I find Polandball hilarious. Poor Poland, always getting slighted--it needs a chance to shine!

 

[Kimuyama]

Also just noticed Maori on the list, they were polynesians

 

[awesome]

yeah, maori would be the only polynesian civilization worth having.

 

[CHEESE!]

IMO, Assyria is the most historically influential and easiest to integrate (Leader, SU/SB, personality).

It was not called Nubia.

The Tonga had a mini island empire that was notable as well. Plus, Hawaii at the end was building something pretty cool. Polynesians were notable because the ran the gamut from those without pottery to those with complex hierarchies and mini-empires. If you want to tell me that they didn't progress as far as mespotamian civilizations, I won't argue. I just think it would be fun to play as a civ who's ability is early sea travel who has the power to spread long before others and would thrive on an archipelago map. Their contribution to history was vast, it just happened a really, really long time.

Most people always separate the Maori from Polynesians, which is why they're separate. Although I'm disappointed in the lack of interest for Srivijaya/Majapahit. They would make a great suprise civ.

BTW, anyone who voted pro-nation states, anyone want to explain their reasoning why, other then, 'ZOMG AUSSIES', or 'ZOMG SLOVAKIA'?

 

[Pouakai]

what great polynesian leader was there who a large portion of polynesians can identify with?

King Kamehameha I, united all the tribes of Hawaii.

Saying Maori and Polynesia are the same is like saying America and England are the same. The Maori were Polynesian migrants who colonised New Zealandand then developed a culture - and language of their own. They had to adapt to the different climate of NZ to the pacific islands and the different food sources (Moa and giant birds compared to fish).

Although, Maori and Hawaiian falls under Polynesian culture just as Americans and English fall under Anglo culture. Although I probably just started the 'let's have all Anglos represented by one civ' debate, if England and the USA can exist in the same game, then so can Maori and Polynesians.

I always have a problem about my own country being in the game. If it is ok to have United States, then why not have Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico to name a few?

Erm, I'm not sure if you're American or not, but basically, Reason 1: Marketing and Reason 2: The United States has dominated and been a major player in the last 2 centuries and looks set to dominate the first half of this century. 2 centuries of domination kinda makes you deserve it, while Australia's just been there, not done much(anything notable?). I'm not American btw.

Clearly Armenia, Assyria and Akkadia!

1. Armenia being a nation that is still a nation after thousands of years, being the only existing nation from the 3000 year old maps of Anatolia and having a large technological impact in our time.

1. Assyria for being the strongest military machine of the ancient times, still existing as a diasporic group of people.

1. Akkadia being the third choice as it was the predecessor to Assyria and Babylon, and a great rival to Sumeria.

Finally a poll with decent choices, the ones I always wanted to be in a Civ game. Thanks for making this thread, mate.

No problem, I was sick of seeing New Zealand, Indonesia, and Argentina on polls.

Too right, you reasons on the first post should be enough to convince anyone. So what if Luxembourg has one of the highest GDP per capita, what kind of history have they got?

 

[EMT]

After a week, this is what we have:

Phoenicians
Assyria
Poland
Ancient Israel
Migrating Dark Age Tribes like the Huns and Bulgars
Hungary
Polynesians
Nubia
Central African State
Vietnam
Scandinavian State not named Vikings

-----------------------------------------------------------

.......I think I should have given a bit more general info on WHERE Majahapit/Srivijaya are located at, THEN they probably would have received more votes.

Anyway, I'm thinking, add all the civilizations from Civ 4 to this list not already in the game, and see what people actually like/want back. Although I won't include the Vikings, Carthaginians, or Native Americans, plus the Hittites and a generalized 'Empires based in Indonesia' option.

Is this for a mod or something?
