My bet is India. It seems that Firaxis use a chronological order for their weekly Civs. Babylonians(sumerians) was dated back almost 4000BC, Egyptians 3000BC, Greeks(with inclusion of Minoans) 2000BC, Chinese 1800BC. Indian civilization appeared around the same time as Chinese so they should be next.

They have already released the Greeks. They were last week's civ of the week.

But then there would be a chance of modern units being released to the general public. And it appears that Firaxis is not revealing anything about that yet. Maybe a week or two before release or maybe just keeping it a secret for the actual release. Either way I don't think they would allow the chance of releasing info about the modern age such as what numbers are going to go along with the U.S. F-15.

It depends on definition.
Persia --> Elam and Media around about 1700 B.C., Persia itself at closer to 850-600 B.C.
India --> Indus River Valley (2000), quite early, then Indo-European/Aryans (Persians) invade, Persian influence in art, still primitive until about 300 B.C., after Greek invasion, Mauryan Empire
Rome --> Etruscans around 1000 B.C., but not really Roman, Rome founded in 750 B.C., Roman Republic around 400 B.C., Roman Empire starts 14 B.C.
It will be one of these three, but it's anybody's guess. I'm hoping for Persia; we STILL haven't seen the leader or unit!
Speaking of which, is this our Bismarck (German)?

Well, my prediction was way off. What are your people's guess for the civ after the Persians? |
Well if it goes by UU we still could see Aztecs soon.
But I would have to say it is going to be either the Japanese or Romans next. (With the Indians in the waiting depending on what Indian empire they pick).

If it goes by the Golden Age, I would choose the following:
Romans, 100BC - 200AD
Indians, about the same time.
Germany, either 1100-1200AD or 1871-1914
France, either around 800AD(Charlemagne) or 1600-1700(Louis XIV)
Britain, 1600-1900 (The Empire)
Russia, 1700-1900 (Romanov Dynasty)
Japan, around 1600(Tokugawa, Hideyoshi)
Iroquois, around 1700
America, after 1945

Well I was half right with this prediction:

Alexander and Transcend appear to be right on the money with this week's prediction of the Indians.
So what about next week?
I think probably Romans. Japanese also coming soon.
