I wish they had just abstracted and genericized the civilization characteristics into things like "nomadic horse lords" or something rather than my game having a "Greek -> Mongol -> American" continuity which is very immersion breaking.

Yes over the course of history regions could be ruled by different civilizations but that's by forces like conquest or cultural domination which are literally in the game I'm playing, so why does time passing or a technology unlock turn me Japanese
