I was under the impression it was more of a gameplay thing rather than a history thing.
Yes.To be fair, the distinction between "collapsed civilization" and "still existing civilization running City States" is blurry.
As apenpaap said, because of the time differences involved. HRE and France usually don't make it to Rome by the Italian spawn and as soon as they're present they don't manage it at all.Leoreth, your logic is sound, but what about civs like Persia, Rome, England, Spain, or Portugal? These civs are all encouraged to expand into flip areas, and dealing with this flip is part of the gameplay of that civ. Why not expand this to France or Germany? Why are they exempt?
Rome and Persia are pretty much unavoidable, England suffers from it only to a very small degree, the only historical/common sense area of expansion that flips being the USA West Coast (it's free from flips with settling Canada, Australia, South Africa, conquering India, France). I agree that this happening to Spain and Portugal is problematic, that's why I am not that enthusiastic about Argentina and Brazil (of course, I can always harshen the Argentina/Brazil spawn conditions).Leoreth, your logic is sound, but what about civs like Persia, Rome, England, Spain, or Portugal?

On the other hand, Italy can't spawn later because it needs as much time as justifiable for its own UHV.
So, what exactly don't they like in their city?
