I guess the most obvious would be portuguese Spanish and berbers.

Portuguese and Spanish were obvious yes, but I assumed he was expecting it to be used by currently-nonexistent civs as well

@Mahazona is correct.

Yes but I donā€™t want a Spanish/Berbers split until we get a big list of civs.

Moors are the other obvious one but do we need them in game? We already have romans goths berbers saracens.

Fair. Thatā€™s me with most potential Euro civs.

26

We donā€™t need any more civ for at least 1 year after TLC. And even after that Iā€™ll probably argue about 30 civs more deserving than Moors.

27

Random idea which I doubt the devs would follow since they seem to hate revisiting regions: South America DLC (TLC) > Meso/North America DLC > Africa DLC 2 > Andes/West South America DLC > Africa DLC 3

I think itā€™s possible to split the Saracens into at least one new civilization called Arabs, with the original Saracens now representing medieval Egypt. Aside from some bonus changes and perhaps the architecture of the Feudal Age, the latter would remain practically unchanged, but the umbrella would be smaller.

Just give the Saracens another UU. Hashashin comes to mind. Or a knight replacement to represent their excellent horsemanship. We need Arab style archers too.

Iā€™m alright with a Saracen split but Iā€™d detach Moors/Andalusians first (technically both a Berber and a Saracen split, as El Cid uses Saracens for Andalusians and coastal North Africa and Berbers for Almoravids), South Arabs / Yemenis could come further down the line.

Yes, this is the main one I would want split off of Saracens

This is an interesting idea I wouldnā€™t be opposed to necessarily.

Would Mamlukes become a regional unit? Or would they stay as an UU?
Either way Iā€™m game for a Saracen split.

Historically speaking, every civilization had its unique kind of architecture, we could potentially have a unique architecture set for each and every one of the civilization in the game. However, that will never realistically happen. Maybe we could get unique Monastery architecture for each civilization in the future, that would be interesting.
