I chose Northern Europe and Eastern Europe because I love their uniqueness, natural environment, architecture and histories + cultures:

Wow, old Viking buildings look cool.

Middle East because they invented shawarma. OP af. You can’t beat that.

Bro, I know you only chose Northern Europe, because you want the next civs to be Finns and Novgorodians.

???

They are the ones that gave the Teutonic Order trouble.

After reading a little bit of the article I think they are well represented by the Slavs.

No South Europe? Byzantines, Italians, Spanish, Portuguese, Sicilians.

Spanish, Italains, Sicilians and Portuguese are Western Europeans. Byzantines are Eastern Europeans.

The split is mostly religious, in the Middle Ages.
Catholic=West
Orthodox=East

There are some exceptions, like Poles, which are catholic but Eastern European, and Norse, which are Western, even though around half of them were pagan.

P.S.: Yes. By the time of the Viking Age, around 50%, if not more, of the Norsemen were already christian, even though Hollywood exoticizes them as all being pagan.

Africa because of the huge variety and Asia because I love how grand these civs were.

I am also just a sucker for Camels and eles despite not really liking Persians.

Mediterranean Europe. Everything conquered or forged by Roma. All the rest of Europe is beneficiary to it.

Where’s south Europe? :sob:

Sad that South Europe isn’t there! :frowning:
I voted for East Asia and wanted to do for South Europe.

East Asia: I’m a South Korean, and thus, I can make Korean and other East Asian campaigns when I want. Searching for information about them is not easy yet that I (and other East Asians) have higher advantages in it. :slight_smile:

South Europe: I wanted to vote it, but couldn’t… Let me be considered to have voted one more for it. As for South Europe, I always find they have many similar aspects to East Asians, particularly Italians to Koreans when it comes to “stereotype”.
