Given that all 60 cultures that will be avaliable in the launch have now been revealed, which cultures do you want to see added into the game in the future?

Extra cultures would be great, and could still be limited to a random 10 per era which would add some variability to the game [same with extra wonders].

My vote for an extra culture would be the Anasazi -- available as one of the first should have some sort of incentive to place their city centers on tiles next to cliffs or mountains, Probably an agricultural or builder focus. They're also an ancient North American civ, which is lacking in the first 10. No idea for unique unit but District would be the "Great House" or "Kiva"

Two other possibilities for Ancient era cultures would be the Minoans (Scientific) or the Sanxingdui -- though they might be difficult as so little is known about them.

Parthians, Portuguese, Maori, Sikhs, Argentines, Majapahit, Swedes of the Gustav Adolf era, Saudi Arabs, Israelis, Boers, South Africans.

A short lived empire, but nonetheless important, was the Han empire. It would make a great addition to the Classical Era. The focus of the cultures leans heavily toward the West. As DLC comes down the pipeline, I hope there will be more diversity.

Industrial era could need more non european based cultures, if you count Russia as european, 6 out of the 10 cultures in industrial era is european. Also the era lack an culture with the merchant affinity.

Also for ancient era I would love to see the Caral culture (sometimes referred as Norte Chico, particularly in English sources). They could do a Perú culture evolution starting with Caral in ancient > Nazca or Moche in classical > Huari or Tihuanaco in medieval and Incas in early modern (I am assuming Incas would be in early modern since they are classified as an early modern IP currently).

I would love to see a Celtic Revival Ireland for industrial era

Some of my wrong predictions were Inca, Kongo and Majapahit for Early Era, Meiji Japanese and Gran Colombia for Industrial and South Africa, Khaleeji, Yugoslav and Maghrebi for Contemporary Era. I really wanted some sort of Polynesian civ but with how navy is underwhelming rn, I'm not sure if it would be a good idea. Bohemia or Vietnam would feel like Militarist version of Teutons and China. Maybe one Nigeria (Nok, Sokoto or modern day Nigeria) would be nice too.

I'd love to see the Vucedol culture and Indigenous Australians, both in ancient era. Some very interesting cultures to explore imo. Yugoslavia sounds great for contemporary era, and we could maybe do with another Slavic culture in the medieval and even classical eras (medieval Croatia would be my dream; it was actually a very significant political power of the time); right now there are no Slavs until the early modern era.

I would like to see represented dardanians, illyrians or some other balkan culture. But what I definitely would like to see are Polynesian cultures and other cultures that depend on their naval expertise, Indonesia could be a great example of that.

I love naval cultures!

Right now there are only 3 cultures with an emblematic harbors and those are in ancient, classical and medieval era.

I'd like to see more agricultural civs in early eras. And less civs having expansionist affinity.

Yes, Balkans please! Aside from the Greeks, I find it's usually one of the most overlooked parts of the world, and certainly the most overlooked part of Europe.

PAKISTAN ffs its a nuclear nation yet both civ or amplitude havent added it , hopefully amplitude can change that .

"Eternal Dictators Pack" concept ideas: Germans(Adolf Hitler), Italians(Benito Mussolini), North Koreans(Kim Il-sung/Kim Jong-il/Kim Jong-un), Zimbabweans(Robert Mugabe), Iraqis(Saddam Hussein), Libyans(Muammar al-Gaddafi), Spanish(Francisco Franco), Vietnamese(Ho Chi Minh), Japanese(Hideki Tōjō), Cambodians(Pol Pot), Cubans(Fidel Castro)

I'm sure the introduction of some of these cultures as a DLC would "enrich" Contemporary Era gameplay. We definitely need some "villains of the world"!

Not sure this fits into humankind since they just present you with a culture and then you can decide how libertarian or totalitarian you want it to be with the ideological axes through civics and random events.

Scythians; a powerful, unique nomadic culture that was among the first to master mounted warfare. They'd probably have an outpost replacement, like similar nomadic cultures. Probably put them in the ancient era.

Yeah, about that, I'm not on the design, or executive side, so I might be wrong, but I really don't think we we'll ever do that in Humankind. While its fun to have an über villain in a sci-fi or fantasy setting, taking real, modern (or early modern) dictators would be kinda distastefull.

Plus as roger pointed out, Humankind doesn't really work with leader (unlike the *other* historical 4X that I won't name) but with cultures, and having Hitler in-game would clearly be tone-deaf, having nazi germany as a culture would be even worse.

Of the top of my head, in no particular order: Polynesians, Cahokia, Tibet, Ireland (modern), Argentina, Sioux, Afghanistan, and if we're being really selfish for a moment, Belgium. It'd be nice to not always be a city state/independent people :P

I would like to see cultures implemented that are not traditionally considered empires but were instead notable cultures. Think Caribbean pirates, Papal Catholics and Mafias. I'm probably asking for too much but I feel like the game in its expected release state is unable to distinctively tell the difference between land, empire and culture that changes the game from leading another civilisation, which switches its cultural identity, to leading a people with a legacy

Polynesians would be cool

I have to admit... I might be biased, since my origins are from Albania, but I would like to see represented the league of Lezhe at the time of Skanderbeg, maybe represented as a militaristic culture, a man can dream...

But as I stated in another comment previously it would be nice to see more balkan cultures in general.

• The Scythians, because I love playing as the Huns and the Mongols.
• The Kushan empire. A Indio-Hellenistic empire that ruled the connection between the Parthians, Han, and pre-Gupta empires from 30ce to 375ce. I can see them as a classical era economic empire that benefits from having other cultures and boarders be near you. Taking a negative and making it a bonus.
• While the Umayyads are the G.O.A.T. of empires for the western medieval period, I'd love to see some diversity with their successors, Abbasid and Cordoba/Andalusian. 
• The Early modern era would be richer with the inclusion of the Uzbeks, after the Timurids, their Khanates ruled Central Asia for most of the 16th and 18th century. Like wise, another option is the Kazakhs, who split from the Mongols and ruled independently till the 1822. 

That's just echoing other posts, but more early Slavs.

Other than that, I hope that if/when more cultures are added some mechanics to prevent overabundance of cultures is added, i.e. while there'd be more cultures available in the game, amount of cultures available per playthrough wouldn't change. I really hope player will stay in a race for cultures, instead of being limited to what flavour of, for example, Agrarians they'll choose for their next step.

I would want one nordic culture per era...
What, No I am totally not Biased :D

Suomi! Suomi! Ahahahah I currently live in Finland and I must admit it would be cool to see Finland represented, maybe as an industrial civ. Many brands known worldwide like Fiskars, Kone and many more come from Finland.

Denmark and Norway could definitely have their spot too! If Iceland and their sagas would make it to the game, I wouldn't be sad.

Etruscans

Basques

Well, from a mechanical perspective, I would love to have a few more cultures that are really Faith and religion focused. I know it is not a traditional FIMSI output, but from my experience in the OpenDevs it is an unexplored design space.

Something like a few more Arabian states for a more traditional “Historical 4X feel” could work. I am not an expert on the subject, but I also know that quite a few states and cultures in southern Asia had strong spiritual roots.

Another neat option could be some of the crusader states, although that is somewhat covered by the Teutons already. The Kingdom of Jerusalem could be a strong shoe-in for something like this.

I think that would be a fitting expansion honestly. An expansion focusing on expanding out the religion system, add a few religious cultures and so on.
I REALLY hope they do. It needs some flavor.

I just realized, there is no classical Chinese civ. Maybe the Tang? It is traditionally considered the greatest age for Chinese poetry. Li Bai and Du Fu, two of China's most famous poets belonged to this age, as did many famous painters such as Han Gan, Zhang Xuan, and Zhou Fang. Tang scholars compiled a rich variety of historical literature, as well as encyclopedias and geographical works.

I would really like to see an improvement in variety regarding modern population first, as to get as much people as possible identified, that said I'd like to see:

Argentina, South Africa, Vietnam, Nigeria, Cuba, Colombia, Canada, and many more.

I think it could also be nice to replace current germany with Prussia and add Germany as a contemporary Culture

I want to more relationship between the era. Examples, concept for east asia, I started zhou first, but the game don't have a culture at classical era. And it is crowded at early modern and contemporary. 

The cultures are largely similar from region to region.  So, I hope that the next dlc will fill in the culture of the empty era by region. the region, for example, west, east, south europe and west, central, south, east, southeast asia... etc. Of course, like Rome, a country can be in several regions.
