England is almost certainly in the game too, since they used London as the example of a city evolving over time. The Vikings surely have to be an Exploration Age civ. And I'd love to see Ireland as a Modern Age civ. The Vikings and the Normans had a huge influence on the history of Ireland, England, and several other Northern European nations.
If it's a modern age civ, I suspect it'll be UK, not England. And it seems borderline confirmed that England isn't in the exploration age: hopefully they'll be added in an expansion pack.
@@MrOobling is the UK more a political union rather than a civ? Usually to qualify as a civ, it has to be a nation or an Empire. Maybe it'll be the British Empire more so than the UK?
The part at the end is the requirement to play as Songhai. If your antiquity civ is Aksum or Egypt, OR if your leader is Amina you can pick Songhai. The check marks are very confusing but they’re requirements, not options
@@KittenCritters That's...somewhat true but mostly not. Mughal is today an academic term used by everyone referring to the Gurkaniyan dynasty (which is what they actually called themselves) and the nation they ruled over as "Hindustan".
Doubt it. Civ V modded civs are more in numbers than Civ VI. It is because the game back then is simpler than before. And if the modders want to add civs, then they should add all of unique units, architecture, wonders, or even leaders.
Poland makes sense and would work great with the new era mechanics too. The cultural ideology of Sarmatianism was central to how Poland developed and came to see itself in the world. Even Jadwiga’s cultural bomb ability in Civ 6, Golden Liberty or Aurea Libertas, has its origins in this Sarmatian/Scythian origin belief.
Good luck babe. Unfortunately the only Slavic Civs at lost will probably be Russia and its precursors. The game is going to launch relatively barebones and given they want to appear less Eurocentric, it is highly unlikely Poland will be there at launch. I definitely see Poland as a great DLC with possibly Bohemia as well.
13:00 Thats not a bug, it just means to play Songhai in the age of Exploration, you had to be Aksum or Egypt in the antiquity age, or your leader has to be Amina.
Yes, Amina is a leader. She was queen of the Hausa city-state of Zazzau (present day northern Nigeria). She wasn't actually a Songhai leader, but lived next door to the Songhai Empire during its final years.
There were a few civs over the years that had 2. I remember Civ 5 Japan having both the Samurai and the Zero. I believe America also had 2 in 5: The Minuteman and the B-17. I would like more unique planes, while we're at it 😂
Come to think of it, a BUNCH of Civ 5 civs had 2: England had the Longbowmen and the Ship of the Line, Rome had the Legion and the Ballista, and I'm fairly certain there were more than that (I *think* Greece had 2? Pretty sure they had one besides the Hoplite). I think it was just 6 that pared them all down to 1 unit.
Finally the Abbasids make a proper apperance and I love their science focus, I hope its a blend of religion and science like the "Arabia" civ in civ6. Abbasids technically existed in civ5 with Harun al-Rashid (Abbasid Caliph) leading the Arabia civ that had Saudi (modern Arabia) passives which was you know... interesting.
I am iraqi and feel known 🥺 Iraq is recovering and hopefully it will come back to be center of religion and science Also iraqis like myself are still very scientific and religious at the same time, we love science and we love spirtuality, it's even in the anthem
The modern Japanese civ is specifically Meiji Japan. Meiji Era is named after the specific Japanese Emperor who has led a rapid westernization in government and technology, leading to a complete shift in Japanese political structure and dispose the Shogunate. His reforming policies, now collectively refer as Meiji Restoration, is the Japanese civ ability in Civ 6. This era marked Japanese transformation towards an industrial power, however its successor would eventually leads Japan to a more bloodthirsty path. This is very likely a scientific and militaristic civ, since it ends with Japanese ascension to replace Qing as the de facto power of Far East and its expansion into Korea. What devs mention in Nintendo direct implies that there should be at least another Japan at exploration age, which means it is very likely to be a Shogunate or Nara/Heian period. A antiquity may also be present (tho I am personally doubtful, Japan is relatively young comparing to other big ancient civilizations), which may be Yamatai or Yayoi. There was also a leak post on a Chinese social media platform that has since been correct on many different topics. The post suggests a Han-Ming-Qing timeline of Chinese civs with Confucius as the leader. The same post suggests Kimiko and Meiji Japan prior to the Nintendo Direct. The only info that is since proved incorrect is Confucius is revealed to be a population focused leader, but the post suggests he is faith focused instead. If the rest of information is true, then Qing will be the last Chinese civ in modern age, and chances r it was picked to avoid the current political problem of PRC-RoC/Taiwan debacles. It is uncertain what they will do with Qing tho, this dynasty was initially extremely expansive seeing Chinese dominance over Tibetan plateau and retake control of Xinjiang and secure border with Russian. It also developed a somewhat friendly relation with Western Powers during the reign of Qianlong Emperor but the relation soured later due to problems with Christianity. However its later stages was marked by extreme xenophobic isolationism and rampant corruption that would drive the empire to its knees. Societal and technological development completely halted as the dowager, who was the de facto head of imperial family at the time, refuse to embrace industrialization and reform similar to Japan, which then lead to an era of what the Chinese now call “Century of Humiliation”.
It’s also very weird Khmer is in antiquity while Chola is in Exploration. The two civilizations were contemporary. They formed an alliance to fight Srivijaya.
yeah, I hope too. It would be a joke if the historical path from Rome led only to France. I think that at least modern italy should be there, ideally there should be also something for the exploration age
Sure, to some extent that is just an inevitability simply because not every civ will have a clean progression through the ages. But also a lot of it is just a volume issue, the more civs that get added to the game the more logical the progression can be.
Japan being in the modern age raises questions for me - will we not see samurai as a unique unit? How can they hope to be useful in the age of cannons and muskets?
Japan (fortunately) has a pretty straightforward history, so I’m hoping Japan (and a few others) has a straight path and the “historical path” isn’t miles away in West Africa
They never do. Though everyone you listed is central European, like West of center of Europe, which is somewhere between Poland and Ukraine. BTW, they always ignore Ukrainians existing in strategy games because they didn't want to alienate buyers from mordor, BUT I looked up and 2K DO NOT sell games in land of drunker war criminals, so there isn't any reason for them to include the orcs but not us anymore.
Also regardless of personal disdain Muscovite Russia has been far more important internationally than Ukraine since the mongols. Cossacks are cooler though.
Yep Humankind made tons of worthwhile improvements to the formula that Civ would be foolish to deny. A wonderful example of how competition in a genre can shake up stale design.
That conceptually be seen in the late Antiquity and early exploration ages, units and buildings and techs appearing without entire age mechanics linked to them.
That greece eventually evolves into norman in the next age? That's the most stupid shit i've ever seen, at least make it make sense. I also hope germany and prussia are playable.
@@Oudri125 yeah, seems very in-depth. I still want more than 1 unique unit, like come on, Egypt can have Medjay AND chariots, and Rome can have Onagers or something.
This video got me to finally subscribe. Dunno why I haven't yet. You're on it with the news! Thanks my dude, for helping me keep track over my newest game obsession. ✌😄
@@WatchThis-ek2og Jewish Civilization is most definitely a thing. They were a distinct culture and nation that eventually got conquered by Rome. You know, like Egypt.
The ages and civs are all over the place... They start in stone age and then skip straight to exploration age, which results in us having medieval civs in renaissance wtf Also no Brazil? Hoping it is in there but none of the civs shown resembles anything that could become Brazil in later ages
Will be interested how they handle modern Russia. Like could there be a branching path to go "Russia" OR "Soviet Union"? And there be different ways to get one or the other? Idk, I feel like the 2 entities are distinct enough, and culturally significant enough, that both could end up as playable late game civs.
There will definitely only be one of them. Most countries have had multiple forms of themselves in the modern era, the devs are only going to be choosing one for each.
Seeing Soviets as a civ will be strange, not gonna lie. I think they will just add Russia, but I hope you can do something like this in-game by choosing ideology. It will be cool if after ideology change the emblem and name of the civ will change. For example If I am playing as Russians and mine ideology is monarchy, my emblem is the same as in civ 6, and my civ name is "Russian Empire"
Will all these civs have their own leaders or will it just be a leader per “branch”? Also, is it too much to hope for a Chamorro civ? Probably as an antiquity civ branch for Oceanian civs?
Do we know what sort of timelines do the "Antiquity, Discovery, Modern" sort of fit in? Would like both the Carolingian empire and the Holy Roman Empire fit into Discovery?
According to the dev's comment on the r/Civ subreddit, they didn't look at calendar dates but more so which civs from a region most closely aligned to how they were planning to develop each age, hence why Khmer shows up as Antiquity when the Khmer Empire starts at 800 CE and hits it's peak in the span of the 1100s to the 1200s
I was a little uncertain about the civ switching but now super excited to do the Han to Ming seems like that is really to progress how the area actually progressed and you are not fighting France in the ancient times. Really wish the leader also switched with age change.
They seem to want to make the leader be an avatar for you. Like *you* are the leader, and stick around the whole game, even as the civ underneath you morphs, evolves, and changes. Cause the leader has its own tree of unlockable benefits in-game now, like social policies, that can seemingly apply passive benefits to whatever civ you're currently playing as. Or at least, that's how I understand it to be.
They hate us, they won't do it. It literally took an outcry to get Canada as a full civ in the last game, then they intentionally ruined it just to piss us off. I don't know why but the Civ franchise has always had a hard on for hating Canadians.
- Japan should be in two eras. - Similarly, Poland, UK, France etc... - Germans (so Rome would have someone to fight) -> Holy Roman Empire -> Germany ;)
Japan should be in 3, but 99% DLC bait. They already have Himiko who lived during later Han era China (there's her correspondence with Cao Cao of Wei), so she's ancient era. Like before samurai, back when Japan had straight swords. Then there will be feudal Japan for exploration age, it's TOO popular to ignore, but might be expansion material. Then modern either Meiji or... later... Japan with stuff like Yamato or Zero which they had in older games. @@MrOobling leader of Germany in Civ VI was Barbarossa, easy to make his civ Exploration age HRE and modern Germany with Bismarck or whatever. I still don't understand what point they divide eras at.
@@KasumiRINA Japan barely existed in the antiquity age, and got their swords from China. But given how the eras in this game seem completely arbitrary, anything is possible.
still no portugal? makes sense they never done anything remarkable like finding the way to india by sea or the first europeans in japan or maybe brazil. nothing of note really
You can see an elephant attach with artillery in trailer and they wearing Siamese marine uniform so... probably there should be Siam too or in later DLC
@@haengeltheknight1212 you can have both of them, just like england and america... what people prefer is not an historical fact so it doesnt mean anything.
@@proph3t4 but Portugal is kind of a niche is strategy games. So if they want to appease the Portuguese speaking community, they would prioritize Brazil first. And besides, they are extremely similar to Spain.
@@haengeltheknight1212 similar to spain???? wtf are you talking about??? Is America similar to Mexico because they share frontiers???? C'mon get some more info about the country, you dont have a clue about what you are talking about.
@@haengeltheknight1212 as a brazilian, to be fair, i would like to see Portugal too... They are our nation's "father". but, following that new progression thing that they want to do, a progression from Rome-Portugal-Brazil wouldnt be so bad
Yeah. Unfortunately Armenia is still considered "controversial" due to ongoing prejudice from Turkey and their friends. As Firaxis wants to sell in Turkey and the Middle East, they probably won't include Armenia at launch. I could see them adding Armenia in a DLC, but it is still unfortunately not going to happen because the feelings of genocide deniers matters more because those deniers have money.
Not holding my hopes up but it's long overdue they add Kyivan Rus' and Cossack Ukraine, would fit especially in games limited by eras. Instead of giving their buildings and units to certain someone else.
Ты что за пургу такую несешь, свидомый? Ну какая Киевская Русь - Украина?! Ты понимаешь значение слова РУСЬ? Украина всегда была провинциальной деревенской культурой, образовавшейся в результате смешения русской, польской, татарской и румынской культур, а современная украинская государственность вообще получилась по ошибке, из-за развала совка, и теперь всеми силами держится за так называемую 1000 летнюю "Украинскую Нацiю", притягивая к ней все что можно: то вольных разбойников-казаков 17 века, не знавших, что они, оказывается - украинцы, то средневековую Русь со столицей в Киеве, и так вплоть до любого, хотя-бы эпизодического упоминания слова "окраина" в старой летописи, лишь-бы удревнить режим хрюкающих переобувшихся вороватых совковых аппаратчиков и олигархов. Ну какая Украинская Русь , ну какой статус мировой цивилизации, что ты несешь?
So if I gather what they're saying, there are 3 "ages", but each era spans multiple "eras". So *Antiquity* is basically Prehistory, Ancient, and Classical, *Exploration* is Medieval, Renaissance, and Industrial, and *Modern* is Modern, Atomic, and Information?
They don’t align with actual history for whatever reason. Think of them as just made-up labels for the sake of the game. There are multiple medieval era civs placed in the antiquity age. And the modern age is pretty much just the industrial era.
So will we be FORCED to change civs with the era? If so, how will that affect civs that historically transcend multiple eras? Will we have to switch from Spain after the exploration era even though Spain very much still exists?
They could have made Castle & Leon and Kingdom of Aragon for Medieval age and Spain for modern, but since they got a bizarre idea of merging middle ages with Exploration specifically, they'd have to make it Spain. I guess they had the bright idea of making Aztecs evolve to Spain to Mexico. You know, just to insult everybody lol.
@@l33tspaniard The EU is an economic and political alliance between nations, not nation in-and-of itself. There is just about zero chance that it or other alliance blocs would be portrayed as 'civs' when it makes much more sense to use some of their constituent member states instead.

I'm still pissed it's been so many years since Civ 3 and they STILL insist on only one unique combat unit per civ! Most mods add at least one more.
I guess now that we switch civs, well technically have three unique units
There were a few civs over the years that had 2. I remember Civ 5 Japan having both the Samurai and the Zero. I believe America also had 2 in 5: The Minuteman and the B-17. I would like more unique planes, while we're at it 😂
Come to think of it, a BUNCH of Civ 5 civs had 2: England had the Longbowmen and the Ship of the Line, Rome had the Legion and the Ballista, and I'm fairly certain there were more than that (I *think* Greece had 2? Pretty sure they had one besides the Hoplite). I think it was just 6 that pared them all down to 1 unit.
@@GatsbyCioffi there were a couple in 6 that had two. England and Macedonia both had two. Maybe some other military civ as well
@@alosha4321Oh, yeah! I think it did depend on which England you played as though, cause I think not all of them did have 2.
Finally the Abbasids make a proper apperance and I love their science focus, I hope its a blend of religion and science like the "Arabia" civ in civ6. Abbasids technically existed in civ5 with Harun al-Rashid (Abbasid Caliph) leading the Arabia civ that had Saudi (modern Arabia) passives which was you know... interesting.
I am iraqi and feel known 🥺
Iraq is recovering and hopefully it will come back to be center of religion and science
Also iraqis like myself are still very scientific and religious at the same time, we love science and we love spirtuality, it's even in the anthem
I will play civ 7 just to play abbasids
The modern Japanese civ is specifically Meiji Japan. Meiji Era is named after the specific Japanese Emperor who has led a rapid westernization in government and technology, leading to a complete shift in Japanese political structure and dispose the Shogunate. His reforming policies, now collectively refer as Meiji Restoration, is the Japanese civ ability in Civ 6. This era marked Japanese transformation towards an industrial power, however its successor would eventually leads Japan to a more bloodthirsty path. This is very likely a scientific and militaristic civ, since it ends with Japanese ascension to replace Qing as the de facto power of Far East and its expansion into Korea.
What devs mention in Nintendo direct implies that there should be at least another Japan at exploration age, which means it is very likely to be a Shogunate or Nara/Heian period. A antiquity may also be present (tho I am personally doubtful, Japan is relatively young comparing to other big ancient civilizations), which may be Yamatai or Yayoi.
There was also a leak post on a Chinese social media platform that has since been correct on many different topics. The post suggests a Han-Ming-Qing timeline of Chinese civs with Confucius as the leader. The same post suggests Kimiko and Meiji Japan prior to the Nintendo Direct. The only info that is since proved incorrect is Confucius is revealed to be a population focused leader, but the post suggests he is faith focused instead.
If the rest of information is true, then Qing will be the last Chinese civ in modern age, and chances r it was picked to avoid the current political problem of PRC-RoC/Taiwan debacles. It is uncertain what they will do with Qing tho, this dynasty was initially extremely expansive seeing Chinese dominance over Tibetan plateau and retake control of Xinjiang and secure border with Russian. It also developed a somewhat friendly relation with Western Powers during the reign of Qianlong Emperor but the relation soured later due to problems with Christianity. However its later stages was marked by extreme xenophobic isolationism and rampant corruption that would drive the empire to its knees. Societal and technological development completely halted as the dowager, who was the de facto head of imperial family at the time, refuse to embrace industrialization and reform similar to Japan, which then lead to an era of what the Chinese now call “Century of Humiliation”.
Civ IV had Khmer. (I mistakenly thought it was Civ V)
Civ VI too, a very one originally it was completely reworked and became pretty much the best one with one of the latest patches
It’s also very weird Khmer is in antiquity while Chola is in Exploration. The two civilizations were contemporary. They formed an alliance to fight Srivijaya.
@@zaneeverett5960The Chola are also much older than the Khmer, which makes all the more odder
Hope i can finally play with with Italy in a civ game
At the moment you can play Italy in ARA
yeah, I hope too. It would be a joke if the historical path from Rome led only to France. I think that at least modern italy should be there, ideally there should be also something for the exploration age
no brazil yet ;_; nd the pay wall is keeping me from doing what i did with 6 getting the pass
This civ hopping is so weird and the options of civs you can jump to seem very arbitrary.
Sure, to some extent that is just an inevitability simply because not every civ will have a clean progression through the ages. But also a lot of it is just a volume issue, the more civs that get added to the game the more logical the progression can be.
I haven't heard of most of the second era civs before, I agree it's concerning.
Japan being in the modern age raises questions for me - will we not see samurai as a unique unit? How can they hope to be useful in the age of cannons and muskets?
The announcement specifically mentioned it was "Meiji Japan", so Japan is probably in multiple ages like China having Han and Ming.
Yeah Japan will probably have Samurai in its Exploration age. Japan will be represented in all three ages with some changes between each ages.
Japan (fortunately) has a pretty straightforward history, so I’m hoping Japan (and a few others) has a straight path and the “historical path” isn’t miles away in West Africa
Maybe there’s gonna be kamikaze-planes
Erm, Khmer have been in Civilisation before......
I just hope that USA isn't boring or lame as it is in 90% of 4x games. Never feels like a reflection of how it is in real life (good or bad)
Ed Beach spoke about the Normans in a live stream, so we know they're coming. Pretty psyched about that.
I'm curious about if and when the Netherlands is added, it would be as a modern or as an exploration era civ.
It'd have to be exploration imo, the Dutch impact was sooo much bigger then.
It's modern age. Modern doesn't equal ww2 but very early modern period.
It’ll probably just be a city-state.
Their... debut? Khmer are not new to Civ.
Giving civs a huge production bonus towards "their" wonder is very railroady and dumbed-down.
Why they do not implement Eastern Europe civs? Bulgars, dacians, serbs, hungarians?
They never do. Though everyone you listed is central European, like West of center of Europe, which is somewhere between Poland and Ukraine. BTW, they always ignore Ukrainians existing in strategy games because they didn't want to alienate buyers from mordor, BUT I looked up and 2K DO NOT sell games in land of drunker war criminals, so there isn't any reason for them to include the orcs but not us anymore.
Bulgars are absolutely Eastern European, and Kievan Rus would be the best option, as it please all parties, even the Swedes.
Also regardless of personal disdain Muscovite Russia has been far more important internationally than Ukraine since the mongols. Cossacks are cooler though.
Closest you get is Poland/Russia
Precursor for eastern european should be Kievan Rus in exploration. But most likely Russia will go from mongols
Amina is 100% a Leader and not a civ
It would be awesome if Vlad Țepeș would show up in Civ7
So the antiquity civs are real civs and the ones after are like scenarios?
Scotland will defo be there- if we are looking at leaders in science, religion, and culture thats a huge amount of opportunity
They really put Humankind in my Civ game...
Yep one of the worst or fake civ clones.
Yep Humankind made tons of worthwhile improvements to the formula that Civ would be foolish to deny. A wonderful example of how competition in a genre can shake up stale design.
It would be nice for Spain to be able to be played coming either from Rome or from some Arabic civilization in the ancient age!
So we’re skipping the Medieval age?
That conceptually be seen in the late Antiquity and early exploration ages, units and buildings and techs appearing without entire age mechanics linked to them.
we skip all eras in this civ part, now there will be only 3 imaginary eras.
No Persia, no purchase...
Would be neat in order to unlock the Colosseum you 1st have to sack another civilizations Holy cities like in real life
Portugal not being in the exploration age would be a travesty...
I can't imagine an Antiquity age without Carthage. I hope it's in the base game !
That greece eventually evolves into norman in the next age? That's the most stupid shit i've ever seen, at least make it make sense. I also hope germany and prussia are playable.
Definitely hoping we get a proper Exploration Age Aztec Empire
I could definitely see a Maya - Aztec - Mexico path
@@Crick1952 maya to aztecs doesn't make any sense;
The Civilizations seem kinda similar. But the graphics are nice
If you go on the official website game guides, there's a lot more to them like unique Traditions and more buildings I think.
@@Oudri125 yeah, seems very in-depth. I still want more than 1 unique unit, like come on, Egypt can have Medjay AND chariots, and Rome can have Onagers or something.
Civs being locked to ages is the lamest thing ever, wtf?
I want to be Ancient Australia or futuristic Babylon I should.
I need a Civ in each era that works like Gaul... I don't care what their name is. I just want the mechanics of that Civ.
Other ones: Inca, Aztec, and Hawaiians are definitely available as we saw some screenshots.
This mechanic is doomed to fail
the philippines needs to make an appearance as a modern civ!!! i think it'd make sense as a southeast asian continuation for khmer
This video got me to finally subscribe. Dunno why I haven't yet. You're on it with the news! Thanks my dude, for helping me keep track over my newest game obsession. ✌😄
Dang no Persia :(
Where's America and Russia and Poland, and Tibet, and Judea?
Judae isn't real, US and Russia will undoubtedly be there, and Tibet is too small. I want Switzerland but it's too small too.
@@WatchThis-ek2og Jewish Civilization is most definitely a thing. They were a distinct culture and nation that eventually got conquered by Rome. You know, like Egypt.
Judea? It’s not important or like very worthwhile add to civ .
Judea? When has that ever been a playable civ?
@@syro33 and why would they even be a civ like they never really did anything of note or had like a very notable person .
I dont understand Buganda as a modern civ vs. say Ethiopia which could have stretched out over 2 eras or Nigeria for a modern era
It will be fun if you can select either in modern ages Ukraine or Russia, after playing as Kyivan Rus in antiaue ages.
Cool, cant wait to be Mao, emperor of Rome, then Khan of Mongols, then President of USA, so fun, so immersive
You can follow the immersive Path of civs. Ill probably just play like this. They already told us the AI will always follow the normal Path.
@@TheVetein And the "normal path" is Rome - Norman - French ? or Egypt - Songhai - Buganda ? Ho yes, Cleopatra was black, that's true !
Refers to Han China as “a grower and a shower” 💀
The celts were pretty significant.
The ages and civs are all over the place... They start in stone age and then skip straight to exploration age, which results in us having medieval civs in renaissance wtf
Also no Brazil? Hoping it is in there but none of the civs shown resembles anything that could become Brazil in later ages
I hate the changing Civs mechanic as well as the way they have defined ages. Also Denuvo is a deal breaker
Womp womp
You haven't even played it bud
Dont buy it. I love it, Sid take my money!
I want to play as the Romans. Civilization 7 - No.
Will be interested how they handle modern Russia. Like could there be a branching path to go "Russia" OR "Soviet Union"? And there be different ways to get one or the other? Idk, I feel like the 2 entities are distinct enough, and culturally significant enough, that both could end up as playable late game civs.
There will definitely only be one of them. Most countries have had multiple forms of themselves in the modern era, the devs are only going to be choosing one for each.
Seeing Soviets as a civ will be strange, not gonna lie. I think they will just add Russia, but I hope you can do something like this in-game by choosing ideology. It will be cool if after ideology change the emblem and name of the civ will change. For example If I am playing as Russians and mine ideology is monarchy, my emblem is the same as in civ 6, and my civ name is "Russian Empire"
I hope the Austrian painter is the leader for the Germany civ.
Will all these civs have their own leaders or will it just be a leader per “branch”?
Also, is it too much to hope for a Chamorro civ? Probably as an antiquity civ branch for Oceanian civs?
I hope they add Seljuks as well as Ottomans
What song did he use for when he was talking about Han China
Do we know what sort of timelines do the "Antiquity, Discovery, Modern" sort of fit in? Would like both the Carolingian empire and the Holy Roman Empire fit into Discovery?
According to the dev's comment on the r/Civ subreddit, they didn't look at calendar dates but more so which civs from a region most closely aligned to how they were planning to develop each age, hence why Khmer shows up as Antiquity when the Khmer Empire starts at 800 CE and hits it's peak in the span of the 1100s to the 1200s
where r my aztecs?!
Greece's special unit should be a trireme with kickass attack strength (greek fire)
It should be spartans!
I was a little uncertain about the civ switching but now super excited to do the Han to Ming seems like that is really to progress how the area actually progressed and you are not fighting France in the ancient times. Really wish the leader also switched with age change.
They seem to want to make the leader be an avatar for you. Like *you* are the leader, and stick around the whole game, even as the civ underneath you morphs, evolves, and changes. Cause the leader has its own tree of unlockable benefits in-game now, like social policies, that can seemingly apply passive benefits to whatever civ you're currently playing as. Or at least, that's how I understand it to be.
Please, let Shaka and Gandhi be leaders!
Hope Brazil appears, I don't mind if it's on a base game or a DLC
We need Canada to return
They hate us, they won't do it. It literally took an outcry to get Canada as a full civ in the last game, then they intentionally ruined it just to piss us off. I don't know why but the Civ franchise has always had a hard on for hating Canadians.
- Japan should be in two eras.
- Similarly, Poland, UK, France etc...
- Germans (so Rome would have someone to fight) -> Holy Roman Empire -> Germany ;)
could be like Germany and then Prussia
@@EmmaWithoutOrgans Germany didn't even exist before Prussia...
@@EmmaWithoutOrgans I know this might sound shocking to some people, but Germany was formed by Prussia.
Japan should be in 3, but 99% DLC bait. They already have Himiko who lived during later Han era China (there's her correspondence with Cao Cao of Wei), so she's ancient era. Like before samurai, back when Japan had straight swords. Then there will be feudal Japan for exploration age, it's TOO popular to ignore, but might be expansion material. Then modern either Meiji or... later... Japan with stuff like Yamato or Zero which they had in older games. @@MrOobling leader of Germany in Civ VI was Barbarossa, easy to make his civ Exploration age HRE and modern Germany with Bismarck or whatever. I still don't understand what point they divide eras at.
@@KasumiRINA Japan barely existed in the antiquity age, and got their swords from China. But given how the eras in this game seem completely arbitrary, anything is possible.
I’m still hoping for a Lithuania Civ. Maybe one day.
Should be from Kievan Rus, but I guess a DLC
Its not civ 7, its humankind 2.😢.. look what they did to my baby
How else they going to sell dlc
Will this be the first civilization ever without Russia? Well, that's right, you forbade us to buy it
still no portugal?
makes sense they never done anything remarkable like finding the way to india by sea or the first europeans in japan or maybe brazil.
nothing of note really
Can wait to play this game 😅
Me who always picks random: 👌
They still have the stupid robots at the end?
I hope not. I feel like Call to Power had the best future era game.
They'd be foolish not to.
Khmer is the only Southeast Asian civ?
@@woodykusaki9970 so far, yes. I'd like to see Siam return in Civ 7.
You can see an elephant attach with artillery in trailer and they wearing Siamese marine uniform so... probably there should be Siam too or in later DLC
Why is there no Thai or Ayutthaya civ?!
Portugal led European maritime exploration for two centuries and is not in the game???? Shame on you.
Portugal was a DLC in 6, not to mention most Portuguese speaking people would prefer Brazil being a priority over Portugal.
@@haengeltheknight1212 you can have both of them, just like england and america... what people prefer is not an historical fact so it doesnt mean anything.
@@proph3t4 but Portugal is kind of a niche is strategy games. So if they want to appease the Portuguese speaking community, they would prioritize Brazil first. And besides, they are extremely similar to Spain.
@@haengeltheknight1212 similar to spain???? wtf are you talking about??? Is America similar to Mexico because they share frontiers???? C'mon get some more info about the country, you dont have a clue about what you are talking about.
@@haengeltheknight1212 as a brazilian, to be fair, i would like to see Portugal too... They are our nation's "father". but, following that new progression thing that they want to do, a progression from Rome-Portugal-Brazil wouldnt be so bad
where is russia ?
After mongols
@@oleksiygudz8470but the mongols didn't build the Russian empire. I don't understand many of these civ changes, they don't follow history.
@@WatchThis-ek2ogthey did tho tatars( I hope I’m that spelling correctly ) basically made Russia .
I'll buy at release but still hate the leaders style
So are we getting games where you only get five or six civilisations in game at a time? I'm sorry but this is not looking very epic.
The fact that Armenia hasn’t featured in any Civ game, either base or DLC is a travesty. It’s almost perfect for the 3 era system.
Yeah. Unfortunately Armenia is still considered "controversial" due to ongoing prejudice from Turkey and their friends. As Firaxis wants to sell in Turkey and the Middle East, they probably won't include Armenia at launch. I could see them adding Armenia in a DLC, but it is still unfortunately not going to happen because the feelings of genocide deniers matters more because those deniers have money.
@@jonathanbowers8964 When you realize how little revenue comes from Turkey’s regional pricing….
i hope they add new turkic civs other than ottomans like gokturks, uyghurs, seljuks, kypchaks etc
Not holding my hopes up but it's long overdue they add Kyivan Rus' and Cossack Ukraine, would fit especially in games limited by eras. Instead of giving their buildings and units to certain someone else.
Scythia -> Huns -> Hungary
I -> Kivan Rus' -> Poland
I -> Russia
I -> Cossaks (Bogdan)
Ты что за пургу такую несешь, свидомый? Ну какая Киевская Русь - Украина?! Ты понимаешь значение слова РУСЬ? Украина всегда была провинциальной деревенской культурой, образовавшейся в результате смешения русской, польской, татарской и румынской культур, а современная украинская государственность вообще получилась по ошибке, из-за развала совка, и теперь всеми силами держится за так называемую 1000 летнюю "Украинскую Нацiю", притягивая к ней все что можно: то вольных разбойников-казаков 17 века, не знавших, что они, оказывается - украинцы, то средневековую Русь со столицей в Киеве, и так вплоть до любого, хотя-бы эпизодического упоминания слова "окраина" в старой летописи, лишь-бы удревнить режим хрюкающих переобувшихся вороватых совковых аппаратчиков и олигархов.

Aww i guess legions cant build stuff this time
Are you Vati in disguise?
So if I gather what they're saying, there are 3 "ages", but each era spans multiple "eras". So *Antiquity* is basically Prehistory, Ancient, and Classical, *Exploration* is Medieval, Renaissance, and Industrial, and *Modern* is Modern, Atomic, and Information?
They don’t align with actual history for whatever reason. Think of them as just made-up labels for the sake of the game. There are multiple medieval era civs placed in the antiquity age. And the modern age is pretty much just the industrial era.
So will we be FORCED to change civs with the era? If so, how will that affect civs that historically transcend multiple eras? Will we have to switch from Spain after the exploration era even though Spain very much still exists?
Yeah, I was expecting something like Iberia for exploration, splitting to spain and portugal in modern.
Oh god I wonder if EU will be modern
They could have made Castle & Leon and Kingdom of Aragon for Medieval age and Spain for modern, but since they got a bizarre idea of merging middle ages with Exploration specifically, they'd have to make it Spain. I guess they had the bright idea of making Aztecs evolve to Spain to Mexico. You know, just to insult everybody lol.
@@l33tspaniard The EU is an economic and political alliance between nations, not nation in-and-of itself.
There is just about zero chance that it or other alliance blocs would be portrayed as 'civs' when it makes much more sense to use some of their constituent member states instead.
