Which Civs should be added after PTW?

Kalgacus · August 30, 2002, 16:53

After PTW's released, there may be the ability to add another 7 civs. The question in the poll is, which civs should they be?

jdd2007 · August 30, 2002, 18:14

well this is the millionth poll ive taken on the subject (

) but israel, holland, portugal, scotland, poland, incas and the khmer are musts for any future additions

Panag · August 31, 2002, 19:17

hi ,

Israel , Inca , colonies , Polynesians and others , ...

have a nice day

GhengisFarb™ · August 31, 2002, 20:25

Holland, Portugal, Scotland, and Israel seem to get a lot of support on this Forum.

Sheik · August 31, 2002, 21:54

Israel should have been in PTW. I would say first make sure Israel is added then add Portugal, Incas (or Mayas), and Tibetans.

andy_of_denial · August 31, 2002, 22:20

Austria-Hungary and Holland.

Palaiologos · September 1, 2002, 07:04

Slavs and Numidians or Aethiopians

Adagio · September 1, 2002, 07:21

Those I'd most like to see is:

the Polynesians
Aboriginal Australia
Inca
Maya

Tibet!!!

I can't believe we don't have a kung fu unit, so we NEED to have Tibet!

Actually, I find it surprising that we have Persia, the Arabs, Ottomans, and the Carthaginians and not Israel! I find this unfair to Israel, since it is a very good strategic location in its position. Go Israel!

Incas should be in. We need a South American civ, so let's put them in for geographic purposes. Not that they really did anything.

Besides wooden shoes, windmills, dikes, and tulips, what exactly have the Dutch done? Why, I would rather choose POLAND over the Dutch!

Actually, Poland would be a very good civ to have, since they are a very underrated civ in Europe. Their cavalry took out a few tanks in WWII, so they should have a cheap ghetto version of the cavalry that costs very little but has few hps.

Be Quicker · September 5, 2002, 07:29

King of Rasslin, are you kidding?

The Dutch gave the world Johan Cruyff !!!

apropos, Brazil should also be included.

Gangerolf · September 5, 2002, 10:29

Gangerolf · September 5, 2002, 10:31

we need some more south american, african and oceanian civs

King of Rasslin · September 5, 2002, 17:39

Brazil included? Only if Portugal is put in first!

Come on ... Pele beats Eusebio any time of the day. So Brazil over Portugal that is what I say.

i say khmer.

Panag · September 6, 2002, 10:39

hi ,

lets hope there is going to be an expansion pack very soon , .....

it would be nice if firaxis gives us some news on that , ....

have a nice day

Adagio · September 6, 2002, 10:57

I'd rather see them working on Civ4...since there's a lot of things I'd like to see changed (rather than getting more Civs)... and I'm talking about changes, that's too "big" to be in an expansion...

Yes, but the sooner they start, the better it'll be (or sooner we'll get it)

hi ,

, not all the way correct , that would mean they would use "old" industry tools , so its better they wait a bit , there are new technologies around the corner , ....

have a nice day

edit ; typo

Hagbart · September 6, 2002, 16:23

Technologies around the corner?? What technologies do they need to make a TBS like civ4?

panag are you just posting this to raise your postcount?

Hagbart · September 6, 2002, 16:23

woohoo 400 posts!

Axis Kast · September 7, 2002, 10:27

I, for one, propose the addition of new civilizations as part of a larger package – “The Lost Civilizations.” This title covers ground that would allow us to explore several civilizations no longer a part of our world (or narrowly not) within the Civ III experience. Seven pertinent choices come to mind: the Confederate States of America (UU: CS cavalry, early submarine), the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary (UU: hussar, grenadier), the Kingdom of Siam (UU: elephant archer), the Kingdom of Greater Serbia (UU: grenadier, citizen’s militia), the Boer Republics (UU: Boer), the Inca Empire (UU: eagle warrior), and the Kingdom of Aragon-Castille (UU: man-at-arms, late crusaders?).

say , about increasing postcount , are you maybe not doing that , ......

example > "woohoo 400 posts" , ....

before you trow a rock at someone , look in the mirror , ....

have a nice day

Hagbart · September 7, 2002, 13:48

panag. It was a joke. We both want to raise the postcount.
You are already a Emperor I think that was very quick.

I don't think that "Lost Civilizations" is a very good idea.

Carver · October 12, 2002, 21:09

As for sub-Saharan Africa: Ethiopia should have been the #1 choice, the oldest nation south of the Sahara, blessed with a rich history. Ghana, Mali or Songhai (one of the medeivel west African civs) should have come second. Unfortunately, Firaxis (correctly or incorrectly) thinks the Zulus are more popular so they put them in the game.

Andemagne · October 13, 2002, 19:07

one word or civ. Finns. elikkä Suomalaiset.

Alexander I · October 17, 2002, 13:50

Philistines. Gotta go Philistines.

Philistia
King Abimelech or Achish
UU: Anakim -- big giant sucker
Leaders: Goliath, etc.
Militaristic Expansionist!

Beren · October 20, 2002, 06:47

If you want to include any Sub-Sahara civilization I think you must go for Mali (certainly not Zululand.)
I was convinced to choose for Ethiopia for a while (or whatever spelling you choose to use), but there is a crucial breakthrough that made me change my mind. I heard about Mali. It has been proved that even before Columbus reached America, Mali did and traded with the Aztecs. Gold analysis shows that the gold used in the Aztec temples is from Mali origin. The king of Mali himself decided to set sail to America and left his kingdom to his brother (he never returned).
Arab historians even report that when the Mali king went on his journey to Mecca, he took with him so much gold, that the Arab gold market collapsed. In short: the king (I think we are supposed to name him sultan) of Mali was a very rich man.
I think what is part of the explanation that people want Ethiopia is that Ethiopia is christian. On the other hand, Ethiopia too is a good choiche, but in my opinion it is just second best.

I choose Inca, because I think it was truly a civilized country and has as much (if not more) right to be included.
I choose for Thai/Khmer, because that civilisation has been neglected.
All those civs in the middle east will make it very crowded in the area. The hittites were impressive, but short-lived. Armenia is not a bad idea, but never impressive. Lydia only invented coins, nothing else was done there. Assyria could be used, Israel couldn't (There too damn small and didn't achieve a thing, except when they were already conquered: at that time they had some religious inovations.)
I didn't vote for Poland, maybe I should have. Maybe it should have been Lithuana.
