Acctualy seperating near east from the agean/greek civilisations during the bronze age, especaly the later bronze age is not that easy as there are many cultural contacts though trade and colonisation.
I would defenitly place the greek culture under the european tree, while the ancient greek might not be based of europe, europe is based of them.
What we today call european culture is basicly the result of mixing greek/roman infulence with christianity, while what we call near east today is basicly the result of mixing persian/arabian/islam and far east influences.
In fact i do not realy like the way culture works right now, what bugs me is the restriction based on the civ you start with.
If you start with an european civ but end up with a floodplanes/stone start, you cant realy develop the culture that would make sense both historical and gameplayish, all you can do is start looking for terrain that fits your base culture, it would make more sense to just become egypt.
People did not say " Hey i´m spanish, id better go find some cow" they settled near cow and then became spanish(well spanish history might be a bit more complex
) .
I would like to see the culture system reworked in a way, that lets everyone start as a very basic "neutral" culture, and a neutral civ, and as you get your hands on culture wonders you become that civ, granting you access to its UU/UB and leaders.
Of course culture from different parts of the earth would block another, so if you get egyptian culture you can no longer get chinese ect.
Oh dear im babbleing on without end and it aint even on the acctual topic. x.x
