Separate names with a comma.
We would always build accurate civs. That’s the fun part! I can’t believe they didn’t put elephants in India.
Unless I am missing something, if a civ has one Infantry, then either (1) the only Infantry is a Spearman and that’s an incredibly lame Infantry...
The Romans are taking us about three times as long as we first expected. We thought we would have had them out by last August. Then December....
I don’t think we’d ever be able to balance a civ that has just one Infantry. Not sure we’d want to, either. I don’t think we would ever...
There is not a ton of written history of the Scythians, and certainly not much (any?) written by them. But in broad strokes, they could represent...
OK. So how would you begin eliminating possibilities? Anyone else have input?
I’m playing dumb to not steer the discussion. If I narrowed in on my top three or so it would make it sound like I wasn’t interested to hear...
The entirety of PvE and the entirety of the ingame economy is grounded on the premise that every piece of gear is permanently removed from...
Running list of civs mentioned so far: Gauls Germanic Tribes Thracians Hittites Carthaginians Phoenicians Nubians Scythians Huns Indians Mongols...
If we ruled out the Phoenicians, then who would be best?
The question is which civ would be best for civ 8. Every month that drips by is further confirmation that our ability to make civs is constrained...
Yes. I did not mean to suggest the only reason to make them would be for the Punic Wars. It’s just that those wars are one of the most requested...
I definitely would put the Phoenicians on a list of possible civs.
Yes. We priced quest skipping to be a good option for experienced players but not so cheap it would ever be strategic or otherwise worth the EP...
@ghanem when we designed the new map of Italy, we actively and intentionally made sure to include Carthage on the map so that we could move it...
Yes, if we ever made the Phoenicians, that would be our hook into the Punic Wars and the Carthaginian empire, so we would want to include...
We know what the Phoenician architecture was to be, and it was very different than what ended up in Carthage. So I could see leaving the Alliance...
Though Phoenicians would work imo. Reconciling the whole Carthage thing is interesting though.
I expect we will eventually talk about choosing an 8th civ. That’s part of why I started this thread. We would never open the decision up to a...
Thank you for doing this.
