    Well, let’s get the “guaranteed” ones out of the way first:

    1. America - Harry Truman
    2. Arabia - al-Mansur
    3. Aztec - Tizoc
    4. Brazil - Pedro II
    5. China - Taizong of Tang
    6. Egypt - Hatshepsut
    7. England - George III
    8. France - Francis I
    9. Germany - Theophanu
    10. Greece - Epaminondas
    11. India - Rajendra Chola
    12. Japan - Suiko
    13. Rome - Scipio Africanus
    14. Russia - Elizabeth

    All of the above are basically assured a seat at the table, which leaves us just a few left. So…

    1. Ottomans - Kosem Sultan
    2. Sweden - Ragnar Lothbrok (needed a viking)
    3. Zulu - Mkabayi
    4. Inuit - Kiviuq
    5. Akkad - Naram-Sin

      Those are some really slant picks

      Is that the list of what you want to see in the next civ game? Like, if you ignored the “guaranteed” choices, would you still pick the same civs?

        I would definitely like to see all of the above in the next civ game at some point. They’re nice touchstones and any civ game feels incomplete at best without them and many more. At worst, without them feels like a statement. Anyways, if it were up to me, I’d like to see some more African civs (like Great Zimbabwe, Ashanti, and Nigeria, Madagascad), some more Islamic civs (Yemen, Timurids, Morocco, Somalia), some more Native North Americans (Salish, Cree, Sioux, Mississippians), and the full gamut of Ancient Fertile Crescent civs (Hittites, Assyria, Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, Phoenicia). You’ll also note that I tried to pick cool leaders who have never appeared in the game before, which I think was an admirable goal they didn’t quite follow through with in Civ 6.
