	* [[Elves]] - Come on, you know what the fuck an elf is. Leader: Shakala. Color: green. Capital city: Goldleaf.

Capital city: Goldleaf. Notable units: Elf Warriors, Elf Archers, Elf Riders, Changeling, Treefolk, Tree Guards.
	* [[Merfolk]] - Remember The Little Mermaid? All the people with fish tails who lived undah dah sea? Yeah, those. Leader: Aegir. Color: blue. Capital city: Atlantis. Notable units: Mermen, Merguards, Giant Otterine, Triton Legion, Porpoise Pods, Kraken.		* [[Merfolk]] - Remember The Little Mermaid? All the people with fish tails who lived undah dah sea?

	* Stygians - A not-intended-to-be-played civilization for the uber-powerful monsters. You could still play as the Stygians if you wanted to, though, because the idea of non-playable civs hadn't been added to the game series yet, and the monsters couldn't be placed under Barbarian control (like the Guardian of Orion and the Antarans in the Master of Orion Jr. scenario...) because fuck you. Leader: Freudo. Color: yellow. Capital city: Doomsday.

Leader: Freudo. Color: yellow. Capital city: Doomsday. Notable units: Skeletons, Barrow Wights, Night Riders, Great Bats, Witches, Fell Wraith, Lich. Though powerful, discovery of Ragnarok "technology" instantly killed them and disabled all the wonders suggesting magic left the planet.
	* [[Goblins]] - A civilization with access to a secret tunnel network that allows instant travel. Unfortunately, this ends up having no effect on anything because the AI is too stupid to use the tunnels, and human players can't use them due to not knowing where they are because they're invisible. This can be fixed by editing the terrain GIFs, though. Their starting situation is also unusual. Most races have their capital cities on their own private continents while their smaller second cities share a single large central continent. The goblins, however, have their capital city located in the center of the large continent while their smaller secondary city is on the Infidels' home continent. Leader: Yma, mate of Org. Color: cyan. Capital city: Grympen Mire. Notable units: Goblins, Trolls, Crag Wolves, Ench Ogre, Giant Spider.		* [[Goblins]] - A civilization with access to a secret tunnel network that allows instant travel.

	* [[Humans]] - Mythical creatures found exclusively in this Civ II scenario and not in any other fantasy or sci-fi settings and definitely not in real life. Leader: Godwyn. Color: orange.

	At some unspecified point in the '90s or 2000s, some guy named [[Wolfgang Baur]] used it as the name of his own third-party campaign setting for tabletop role-playing games. Through Kobold Press, the rest of us are fortunate enough to play in it. Baur (unsurprisingly perhaps, given his name) started this as a Germanic and Slavic fantasy world, but he grew it over time to include the fantasy kitchen sink of Lovecraftian horror, Arabian Nights, and [[Vikings]] among other things. As of D&D 5th Edition it's become quite notable, with tie-in products such as Tome of Beasts considered on par with official Wizards of the Coast publications.

			Most of this article is about Baur's campaign setting because the person who originally wrote it didn't know about any of the other uses for the name, and the rest of us are too lazy to fix it.
