Updating this for BTS as we speak: there are unfortunately only 18 civ slots, and the only one I'd really be content inremoving is Zimbabwe, to replace with ethiopia. There's also no physical room for more European civs

Khmer at the time were still around, but in a state of near total anarchy, their empire was falling apart, collapsing, and they may have (?) abandoned Angkor already and left it to rot int he jungles, so no sense in adding them. The HRE is changed to well.. the HRE, Planning on renaming it to Eastern Hapsburg empire, and renaming spain to Western Hapsburg empire.
Koreans are supposed to be over-run by the japanese soon and like the khmer were falling apart, so no sense adding them. No space for the dutch or portuguese in europe

Ethiopians I'd like to add, and am tempted to remove the Mwene mutapa. I'm also tempted to remove Italy, even though I desperately want them in as a counter balance.
I'm also wondering about adding in some map scripts to make the game more interesting.
