Okay, I might have gone overboard this time, but there were so many options I couldn’t bring myself to remove more than 30 of them and I don’t think it would be a good solution to split the poll again into single century ones. So I figured I could just include an additional poll in the same poll and be done with it.
The 8th and 9th century are again a period of great changes and troubles, with the Umayyad Caliphate reaching its maximal extent and finally being replaced by the Abbasids, Charlemagne forming the Carolingian empire, the start of the viking era, the Kannauj Triangle Wars in India, so on and so forth. A lot of possible civs from the previous periods aren’t there anymore, but far more new ones have replaced them… And I still might have forgotten or overlooked some of them. Don’t hesitate to point it out in the comments.
Without further ado, let’s vote!

You should include a map with every poll you create. It is overwhelming to look at such a long list.

I didn’t expect the K a l i n g a to be as popular as they are. But I will take more South Asian civs anyway!

It was a big mistake to release the Return of Rome expansion without Alans, Vandals, Scythians (and Maybe Suebians)

That’s a great idea, but I don’t know if I would have the time or energy for that…

Yeah, I’m surprised that they are even above the Dravidian split. But all things considered, they have quite some potential.
On a sidenote, the censorship keeps messing with this civ’s name even though one of the mods assured it shouldn’t be censored.

Hopefully RoR will get more content in the future.
