Prediction for Next Week's Civ - Page 2

ixnay · September 15, 2001, 08:22

My money is on....

the Romans

saracen31 · September 15, 2001, 10:23

Romans all the way.

TechWins · September 15, 2001, 12:01

Here's my highly anticipated guess...Romans.

If I guess this correct I'll be 2 for 2.

By the way the last Civ is going to be the Americans.

Alexander I · September 15, 2001, 12:04

Rome.

Followed by Germany and Japan, or vice versa, methinks.

Then France and Britain. We'll see.

PGM · September 15, 2001, 16:10

Rome (CSU: Legion)

BeBro · September 19, 2001, 14:25

To bring a new aspect into this discussion - I think it´s Rome

Adm.Naismith · September 21, 2001, 03:05

Me too!

Italy at last, when it had its moment of military glory

Gangerolf · September 21, 2001, 18:46

...and the winner is: the Aztecs! Didn't see that one comimg.

Seems that they're just picking them randomly from now on...

Christantine The Great · September 21, 2001, 21:26

Probably are so you guys don't spoil the suprise.

Elvis_III · September 24, 2001, 13:09

I'm going to say ..... AZTECS!

lol

Alexander I · September 24, 2001, 16:10

Well...now that we're all totally confused and thrown off, and Firaxis has had their laughs, maybe we'll get Rome?

Yeah, I think so. Rome, Legion. I'm not expecting another surprise. Humm, but then again it wouldn't be called a surprise if...

aaglo · September 25, 2001, 07:50

My guess would be PinkFloydians or KingCrimsons

My another guess is that these kind of threads are just to get more post counts. IMHO there should be no counters, it just makes people to spam... like this

JellyDonut · September 26, 2001, 03:52

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Japanese are next, but Romans not long after. But then again, Firaxis may have read this thread and decided to release Rome last just to toy with us

ixnay · September 26, 2001, 07:41

Probably the Japanese, Iroquois, or Zulus. Perhaps they are getting all of the non-western civs out of the way first?

Akron · September 26, 2001, 12:21

I'm putting my money on the Zulus. Here comes another ancient UU, hope it is not as boring as the Aztec's.

Dimorier Maximus · September 26, 2001, 15:10

I bet they do the Americans next, just to throw everybody off even more. But since Dan checks this thread, and then just picks whatever, he'll probably do the Romans this time. I bet he was gonna do 'em last time until everybody guessed that the Romans were next.

Not to spoil the surprise, but the Zulu Impi is a 1/2/2. Like a Spearman 1/2/1 with an extra move.

Come on! Anyone really think Dan doesn't have anything better to do that play on us?

That would be too childish, and I have greater respect for Dan M. to believe this.

They probably throw at us any Civ they are ready to show: final graphics, final stats for Specific Unit...

Sarxis · September 27, 2001, 23:59

I say Americans.

KrazyHorse · September 28, 2001, 00:09

Zulus or Iroquois.

Skanky Burns · September 28, 2001, 00:49

Id have to say the Zulus are next... or maybe the Iroquois.
Dan will probably release the 'most interesting' civs, like Americans or Romans last to build up more enthusiasm just before release. (For those newbies who are only just hearing about civ)

But then again, im only guessing

Stuie · September 28, 2001, 04:59

I agree with Shanky. But to expand on that thought, I wonder if they have finished play balancing the early game units, and are still tweaking the late-game units. That would explain the fact that every civ that's been presented so far has an ancient or middle ages unit. So I'll go out on a limb and say the order will be:

The Zulus
The Iroquois
The Japanese
The Romans
The French
The English
The Russians
The Germans
The Americans

Du_Chateau · September 28, 2001, 08:06

I say the Zulus

September 28, 2001, 12:02

Definately English or French. That would be a suprise. I can see it coming anyway...

Hey, I didn't know that! Where did you read it?
Now you spoiled the suprise

Skanky Burns · September 28, 2001, 20:22

Arggh!! 5 weeks in a row i predicted the Romans would be next... And then finally this week i gave up on the idea... and now they decide to release the Romans!!!

Id be even more upset if it actually mattered for anything

ixnay · September 28, 2001, 21:05

I'll say Japanese are next.

JellyDonut · September 28, 2001, 21:08

Russians or Japanese next. I just know it.

Edit: To further extrapolate, here's my list o' civs, just by guesswork.

1. Russians
2. Japanese
3. English
4. Americans (almost release time here)
5. Iroquois
6. French
7. Zulus
8. Germans

Dimorier Maximus · September 29, 2001, 03:56

My guess for next week is the Japanese. That is, if we are going in order of the leader. I think Tokugawa is the oldest leader left of the bunch. I could be wrong about that though. Does anyone know when Tokugawa ruled Japan?

Rakki · September 29, 2001, 04:10

off the top of my head I'd say around 1500 ~ 1700 was the Tokugawa Shogunate...
