Why is there no portugal

[day]

At least have the decency to add Alberto Barbosa.

Portugal may get added most likely as a DLC. It could be Isabella or some other leader I have no idea. Expect it to be a DLC because the last three civs to be Announced are Arabia, Russia, and Summeria.

I have no idea, its not me its Flixari''s decision. I remembered the made Denmark if I remembered right a DLC, but they Make Norway a Vanilla Civ in Civ 6. Would be Surprised if Sweeden ever makes it into the game as a DLC for Civ 6

Not sure how portugal would ever be considdered a great country but maybe you know something i don't. They were a big player when it came to early colonization, and for the rest they have been sitting there not doing much.
And at any rate crying over who is and who isn't in is pointless. There will be more in the future and thats it, who will come, we will have to wait and see.

Portugal is the greatest country ever idek what your talking about. Look at all the great things they did:
Be in Europe
Colonize South America
Not losing to a bunch of untrained colonists

1700 Portugal > 1700 Britain

Because it's not. There is no 'best country'.

Anyway, likely for the same reason the Netherlands also never makes it as first civ: they're dwarfed out by the giants around them. Every base game Civ has France, Germany, England and Rome. For good reason since all those are absolutely massive names in history.

Fireaxis went a bit more eurocentric for this first vanilla release by adding Spain and Norway (the latter is either a new civ or has been absent for a long time) to the mix as well. That's 6 Western European Civs out of 18. Makes for a very crowded spot, and Fireaxis does like to go for variety, hence no Portugal, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Scotland and such in the base package.

Talking down of nations/countries has no place on these boards. Saying one country is inherently better then another is for that reason not welcome here.

Talking about inclusion of Portugal is fine, don't bash other nations/countries while doing so.

So sad, since Civilization III Portugal always appeared, I hope they to include it later

[LooseCannon1983]

another reason to play civ 5, it has netherlands in it ;)

Well, when focussing on science I'd definitely say:

1700 The Netherlands > 1700 Britain > 1700 Portugal

But they have to make a cut for the initial game. I guess both the Netherlands and Portugal are considered "minor markets" that have to wait to be included later, and the devs probably don't want the initial game to be too European.

Not in vanilla. I would be amazed if we don't get Portugal in an expansion or DLC.

I know it was sort of a joke post, but I don't know why you deleted my comment about Portugal being a good country. Plus it'd be cool if they added Portugal back as a base civ because it being DLC sorta sways people away (I.E the African Kingdoms from AoE2). I know it was a base civ in a previous game but I'd like having it from the start than just dlc.
