Persia? Next weekly civ? Firaxis?

The majority feels that Xerxes will reign once more in Persia (just like CivII). And a possibility for their UU is the Immortal, a Persian guard.

Firaxis, we haven't seen much about them yet, could yout let us know?

And Apolytoners, what do you think about them?

Heroes for the Persians-

City Builder- Darius the Organizer (+1 building efficiency)
Warrior- Xerxes I (however, in sea battles he is quite ineffective

)

It appears very likely that Firaxis is going to go in the order that the tribes reach their golden ages. I would make this conjecture due to the Babylonians being early bloomers and being the first ones shown.

If this is the case we will probably actually see the Egyptians next and then the Persians or Greeks.

I guess some of it depends on which of the golden ages for some civs that Firaxis actually choose - such as the Chinese or the Indians.

I found this list on www.civ3.com in the Civ Of The Week section, left to the babylon text. It may be the order they will come in and it may not. Note that they are in alphabetical order, but still the Babylonians came first. This could mean that they don't come in this order...
