WHY 19 Civs?

Definitely for the expansions... grrrrr.... and, of course, I'm one of those civ fans that just HAS to purchase all the expansions. And special editions. And so on so forth.

Maybe they will release on septmeber first or day 1 of month 9. 19. This explains everything!

19 because:
19 - 1 (you) = 18.
18 = 12 + 6
6*2 = 12
Because 19 hexagons forms a neat shape.

It would make a very neat diplo screen.
EDIT: And the expansion will probably include 18 more.

Not sure, probably just trying to not overkill on civs before expansions. Hopefully there won't be a hardcoded limit anymore.

It sounds like you will be able too, Gogf, but that it win involve Coding. I hate coding. I hope they make soem sort of editor so we don't haev to friggin code.

As far as i know they said they would try to hardcode as little as possible since that was one of the main backsides of Civ3.
Most of the theories sound good so far, though the 19 hexagon one is a little far off the map. 
My guess is it all boils down to economics. The first set of civs has to leave most Civ fanatics (and other Civ players) as either "content" or at worst "annoyed". If we're too happy with that initial set then we'll never buy the expansions, and if too many are "furious" then the game will flop.

I see no reason why not 19. Maybe the people who made the civs liked prime numbers.
Also there is a diplomacy aspect since in the game DIPLOMACY, they made it be 7 so that if the game did end up with one side verses the other there would be more diplomacy since one side would want the player which would make their side more powerful. So with 19 there is more diplomacy in case you are playing with all powers. Just an idea.

19 Civs and Barbarians as 20th. And if the "little hardcode stuff" rules apliyes, I think the total limit of Civs will be 40 or 60.

i think the HEX idea is the best one offered so far.
that WOULD make a neat little diplo screen.
the "leaving for expansion" thing is dumb (if popular) because 18 would work just as well in that argument.
the only ones so far to actualy answer the answer of "why 19?" are the hex thing and the "release date of sept the first"
