I don't have time to read the whole board, but if Firaxis is still taking suggestions, here are my 6 TPW civs:
Israel/Hebrews: Great impact on world history. Who gave us Monotheism? [answer: them!]
Korea: Huge gaming market. Unparallelled impact on world history. Maybe their special unit could be some kind of Korean fighter or infantry, since China and Japan both have horse units.
Muslims: They took all of Northern africa and much of central asia. Big world power. special unit: whatever the opposite of a crusader is.
Austria: cultural powerhouse all throughout post-renessaince Europe. Big military too, and with Hungary, a great choice.
Souix: A civ from civ 2, another american civ. A great recognizable leader.
Poland: A great choice for European scenarios, good counterpoint to Austria, Russia and Germany in Real map scenarios.
What are your six?

First off, Firaxis has allready chosen their 8 civs, the ones that have been 'officialy' announced are; Spanish, Monguls, Vikings, Celts, Ottomans, & Carthage.
As for your civs;
Isreal/Hebrew - Might be the 8th, but unlikely do to 'polital' issues, & the fact that they're so d@mn small.
Korea - Also a good canidate for the 8th civ, & proboly the most likely, but it's TBS market isn't anything special, & we still don't have official conformation. (Oh yah, Japan's Samurai aren't horse units, that's why they don't require horses to build)
Muslims - A little too broad, it's like having a Christian civilization.
Austria - Counts as a part of the German civilization, since the culture's almost identical & they both have the same exact language.
Souix - Counts as part of the Iroquois, since the Iroquois count for all the North American "Indian" tribes.
Poland - An okay choice, although unlikly do to the fact that they haven't had much of an effect on world history, & the average gamer knows next to nothing about them exept that all the supermodels come from there. ('Pole'land.  )

And the ottomans? Carthage? What the hell are these? Do people in Carthage even own PCs? |
My mistake on the civ number.
As for the second comment, just as many people in The Ottoman Empire (Turky) & Carthage (Northern Africa) have computers as people in Japan, Persia, (Iran) & Babylon (Iraq) combined.

Until I see a screenshot with either a Korean city or 'Korean _____' in the bottom right, or Firaxis says that they;re in, I'm not going to say that they're in.

Cuba's in the Carribian, & Madagascar's an island of the coast of AFRICA!!!
If there's going to be a S. American civ, it's going to be the Incas.

Cuba is North American and Madagascar is African, but I do wish the 8th civ is the Incans or at least the Mayans.

They already have the Aztecs, just imagine a world map, Aztec's and Mexico's starting locations would be the same place!

Japan & Korea, Babylon & Persia, & Ottoman & Egypt are a good distance apart. Mexico's capital (Mexico city) was built over the ruins of the Aztecs capital.

Than play a generated map.

To automatically equate the Celts with the British Isles, while understandable, is fairly uninformed.
From http://www.wsu.edu:8080/%7Edee/MA/CELTS.HTM
quote:
The earliest Celts who were major players in the classical world were the Gauls, who controlled an area extending from France to Switzerland. It was the Gauls who sacked Rome and later invaded Greece; it was also the Gauls that migrated to Asia Minor to found their own, independent culture there, that of the Galatians. Through invasion and migration, they spread into Spain and later crossed the Alps into Italy and permanently settled the area south of the Alps which the Romans then named, Cisalpine Gaul.
|
This is just one of many pages to be found from searching google.com for "celtic origin".
The Celts were European powerhouses, not merely "another" people to crowd the British Isles.

So when we all create a world map, will we put the starting location Celts on Ireland or will we put them between France and Germany?

Just kidding.
