With at least 3-4 North American Native civs going in this list somewhere between 60-90 votes
Apache, Navajo, Comanche, Cherokee, Mississippian, Pueblo/Anasazi are among the most likely candidates that made it over 60.
And the categories got:
Other Middle-Eastern civs: 119 (+10) - Assyria, Hebrews and Armenia
Other European civs: 52 (+6)
Other African civs: 81 (+6) - Nubia, maybe Swahili and Ashanti
Other South Asian civs: 73 (+8) - Vietnam
Other Central Asian civs: 58 (+5)
Other colonial or "modern" civs: 104 (+10)
South American native civs: 62 (+5)
Other North American civs: 117 (+10) - As stated before, probably some of the Apache, Navajo, Cherokee, Comanche, Pueblo/Anasazi, Mississippian, Crow, Cree, Inuit made it to at least 60-90 votes, but I don't have enough information here for a good guess |
