We making civs? I'll pick out the ones I think deserve inclusion in loose grouping of importance.
I think that it'd be nice if civs could just upgrade in time, maybe with three groupings (ancient, medieval/exploration, industrial/modern) for characters.
MIDDLE EAST (6)
Arabian
Egyptians (I feel like Nubia can in some sense fall within Egypt)
Mesopotamian: A civ that starts as Sumer then evolves into Babylon or Assyria
Some hybrid civ that can represent both Eastern Rome (Justinian and Theodora) and the Ottomans (Suleiman and Roxelana); “Anatolians” and mix with Hittites?
Persians
Phoenicians (includes Carthage and Jews/Israelites as their direct descendants)
ASIA (4)
China: Qin Shi Huang
Indian: Chandragupta or Ashoka
Mongolian: Genghis Khan
Japanese: Tokugawa
ANCIENT EUROPE (4)
Celts
Greek: (the Hellenistic/Macedonian world is Greek as far as I'm concerned, so is Byzantium just Medieval Greece)
Romans
AMERINDIANS (4)
Aztecs
Comanche
Incan
Iroquois/Iroquoians
AFRICANS (1)
Ethiopians
MEDIEVAL AND MODERN EUROPE
Americans
British
French
Germans
Norse
Russians
Spaniards
OTHER
Polynesians: Kamehameha
That’s just 27 civs. fifty percent more than Civ 6 had at launch, but it’s really hard when you count the ancient and modern versions of the same people as different things. It prioritizes cultures that existed in a fashion through pretty much all history. Americans are an exception because it’s impossible to justify a game of world history not including the winner.
