Wasn't the original plan to use another, more popular native American civilization, but they couldn't get permission from the tribe to to use a native speaker for the voiceover, so the went for a B option? I recall reading something like that.

Yeah, they were originally planning to do the Pueblo as a Civ V expansion civ to the point where they designed the leader and unique units/traits, but the Pueblo Council took offense at their historical leader being depicted in a video game so Firaxis scrapped it.

Also that makes Gorgo's "never cedes anything in a peace deal" agenda interesting since it means you have to either wipe her out or deal with having occupied cities forever.

UNIQUE DISTRICT – SUGUBA
This replacement for the Commercial Hub allows Mali to purchase Units, Buildings, and Districts at a reduced cost, with either Gold or Faith. Also provides additional Gold for adjacent Holy Sites, tiles containing a River edge, and bonus Gold for every two adjacent District tiles.

UNIQUE ABILITY – SONGS OF THE JELI
Provides City Centers with additional Faith and Food for every adjacent Desert and Desert Hills tile. Mines provide less Production to the city, but grant additional Gold output. Mali may purchase Commercial Hub district buildings with Faith, but suffer an overall Production penalty when constructing buildings or training units.

UNIQUE UNIT – MANDEKALU CAVALRY
This Medieval-era unit replaces the Knight and prevents Mali Trader units from being plundered, as long as they are on a land tile within four tiles of a Mandekalu Cavalry unit. Combat victories provide Gold equal to the unit’s base Combat Strength.

MANSA MUSA UNIQUE ABILITY – SAHEL MERCHANTS
International Trade Routes grant Gold for each flat Desert tile within the originating city’s borders, and Sahel Merchants unlocks an additional Trader slot whenever Mali enters a Golden Age.

Sega announced a turn based historical 4X game that is definitely taking a shot at Civilization

https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/19/20809087/humankind-sega-amplitude-windows-pc-release-date-preview-civilization

Having your civ evolve by picking a new historical civ during each era that adds on to your previous choices is a neat idea and I’m looking forward to some competition.

Free update adds a civ picker and barbarian clans mode: you can pay ransom to barbarians, hire them to attack other civs, and they can eventually turn into city states if you keep them around long enough.
