I'm more ready to agree with that- Hungary would probably fill in that gap.
Why not Poland or Austria?
Well, what other civs are there? All the other SA civs were, to the Western eye, near enough indistinguishable from the Inca. (Not that ignorance is a justification, it's just that I doubt adding any other SA civs would add much to the game, so is a pretty low priority.)
A modern day country is possibly what he means.
Venezuela or Brazil would fill it in very nicely.
I don't see what that has to do with people wanting their countries in...
I think the point is that most westerners seem to forget about european history on the other side of the Iron Curtein, (other then Russia) and they would like fireaxis to take notice of that.
The Zulu where more important to Southern African history than Poland was to European history.
1. Was Zulu that Important to African History? You comparing Zulu to a part of a continent while your comparing Poland to the entire continent.
2. Should Fiji be in because there important to Polynesian History? Should the Olmecs be in because they were important to central American history? should the Caribs be in because they were important to Caribean history?
3. Did the Zulu have to compete with England, France, Dutch, Belgium, Germany, HRE, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Rome, Greece, Byzantines, Ottomans, Russians, Swedes, Finns, Vikings, Danes, Croats, Serbs, Bulgarians, Romanians, Cossacks, Lithuanians, Austrians, Swiss, Hungarians, Bohemians, Bavarians, Saxons, Catalonians etc, to get in the game?
3 Indian civs would be pretty new and exotic.
But will it be fun?
Yes, the majority would be in some way related tot he English of the 16th century.
Would that situation be any differint in America and Australia?
SA doesn't seem to HAVE anything other than the Incas, atleast based on what I've seen in Wikipedia.
Gran Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay are all options. + a feel native american civs are also.
... i'm starting to get tired with all this writing...
Above is a represented map, where blue is represented. Find problems with it. I really don't think Eastern Europe underepresented, the Ottoman and Russia has held all of it at one point or another, and the Holy Roman Empire covers the rest of Central Europe. Modern boarders mean nothing.
So does China represent Tibet because they hold Tibet nowadays?
So does Mali represent all those others little African Nationalities in Western Africa?
So does England represent all of Canada, America, And Australia because Britatin ounced controleld it?
(i bolded Australia to strike you hard! 
)
Does England Represent Scotland and Ireland even though the civ is England and not Britain?
And how is Finland Represented? Sweden isn't very clearly represented by Vikings either.
How is Hungary represented? Austria isn't in, and Hungary isn't german.
How are the Crimeans represented?
How is Romania and Bulgaria represented? Serbia? Crotia?
Almost Every Pole is offended to be called a Russian/German. If you said that on the streets of Poland, i'm sure that you'll get beaten up realyl badly. (chances increase by alot when near a party or a pub)
beg to differ, at their hights the Holy Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire covered pretty much all of this land (at different time). The Holy Roman Empire during the late 14th Century, Ottoman Empire in the late 15th Century and Russia in the Early 20th Century. I think there might be a tiny spec that might not be covered, but can't be bothered figuring that out.
So nationalities mean nothing to you? I don't see why as you were offended when i called you english then.
Ottomans= only reached vienna before being turned back
By the Poles of course! 
Austria having been part of the HRE at one point, but that's a fairly weak argument.
More like Austria controlled the HRE at one point...
Let's all face it, we're all represented by Ethiopia!
All humans came from there supposingly so i don't find that a half-bad idea.
if people aren't going to play it, it won't be added.
Oh i'm sure a cool horse with wings, immune to spearmen/pikemen and can beat a cossack, all while being a knight will convince more then enough people to play as poland.
You know what is underepresented, New Zú-landers (swallowed vowels). You could really control you people like sheep, or at least Half-sheep, Half-man things.
Sheep outnumber humans 7-1 in new zealand i think...
Jeeze...Eastern Europe is ___ Under-represented!
The English civ could also build a few settlers and load them onto a Galleon and settle next to the Aboriginal civ. The English could then release the cities as a colony. Pretty decent representation, no?
In fact, they shouldn't have added China because the Mongols once ruled it! And Britain? They're represented by the Romans....and the Celts! Love that line of reasoning....
