I used a slightly different approach: I want to choose Civs not only on location, but I want Civs with different 'VC biases' in their Unique traits.
To that end, I come up with:
North America
Iroquois OR US - Both are rather generalist Civs with a predilection towards expansion.
Maya - Gets the nod over the Aztec because they are Faith/Science-based.
(If one of the remaining Civs is a Plains NA civ, I would also include them.)
South America
Inca - Production-themed generalists
Brazil - Culture and Trade
East / South Asia
Korea - Science . If you use current capital locations, I feel you can only use one of China/Korea/Japan, and Korea is the most unique in CiV.
India - Another generalist.
Indonesia - Trade
Mongolia - Military
Polynesia - Culture
Middle East
Byzantines - Faith / Military
Persia - Culture / Military
Arabia - Trade
Africa
Carthage OR Morocco - Trade
Ethiopia - Faith
Zulu - Military
If there's room, Songhai
Europe
France (Culture)
Huns (Military) - If you put in Hungary or a little NE of there
Russia - Production
Portugal - Trade
Rome / Venice - Maybe. I'm not quite sure how crowded Europe gets in a TSL Earth game.
That's about the right number. Comments/suggestions welcome!
