To examine how these might go, I played a world map and moved the Incas to the Great Lakes, Spain to Istanbul and Mongolia to Bangkok. I was playing Mongolia so I don't really have an accurate picture of what happens there, and the leader personalities are different of course, got bored by 1000AD but here's what happened:
Rome filled up Iberia and then North Africa west of Egypt, making them quite powerful, Turkey(Spain) prevented Greece from achieving any thing at all, and occupied the entire Black Sea.
Siam(Mongolia, played by me) competed with Japan for Indonesia, creating a beautiful Brown and Red chess board.
China and Japan expanded into the empty space left by Mongolia.
Interestingly, the Europeans didn't try settle in Russia, even France.
Iroquois(Inca) Occupied the Eastern area of Canada, which forced America to colonise more Westward, blocking off more Iroqoius expansion and possibly actually giving America better land to fight off the Aztecs with. (Worldbuilder showed me American swordsmen marching on Aztecs, but no Aztecs marching back, although Boston(settled around Loiusiana) was Aztec controlled.
But that's just the civ 4 world map, we don't know the world size for civ 5 yet, and independent city states mix it up a bit (would be great to see city states placed accuratly on a world map, Singapore, Jerusaleum, Zanzibar would be cool.
