In the debate over which civs may be included in BNW, its seems as if this community's biggest concern is geographic location, for example 3 european, 2 african or people hoping for inuit and aboriginee because those areas are not expressed in the game.
However, since true-start maps are not a part of the game they are selling us, but only included in user-made mods, wouldn't this mean geography is irrelevant to the devs? The only thing that should concern them is if including a civ is going to sell more copies, meaning it should be something interesting, which is why they added civs such as the Huns, for name recognition not for their legitimacy as a civ. In some cases, such as The Scramble for Africa scenario, it should be assumed that african civs should be included. But it seems that people saying "there are too many civs from x continent/not enough civs from y continent" or "this civ needs to be included to fill out this area of the map" are not making legitimate claims, no?
I love to play true-start maps but you have to look at what's actually included in the game.
P.S. this is NOT in support of the inclusion of Italy... they better not do it
