Here is what was ultimately finalized re: tech groups.
-(Western) Hellenistic: The Greek countries.
-(Eastern) Persian: Covers the Christian world, that being Arabia, Levant, Mesopotamia, and Persia, as well as a number of neighboring countries like Rome and Scythia.
-(Ottoman) Islamic: Covers the Muslim (and Celtic!) worlds, that being North Africa and Western Europe.
-(Muslim) Indian: India, SE Asia, Indonesia - basically everywhere Indian cultural influence was strongest.
-(Indian) Seric: East Asia from Nam Yuet northwards, including Korea and Japan
-(Chinese) European: The pagans of Europe east of Gaul.
-Nomads, Sub-Saharan, the New World groups etc. stay the same.
Eventually IMO we're going to have to figure out a way to switch tech groups independent of vanilla westernization, because there are about 1/4 as many western-equivalent countries as there are in vanilla, and none of them really do a ton of colonizing.
Well IIRC modding Techgroups is very doable. It just takes effort and planning.
