When will these nasty developpers have the idea to raise the number of civs present at the same time on the map ?
I know that goes against the meaning of "civilization", because a civilization is always composed by more that one state. But we don't care that concept ! After all, since civilization I, there are a german, a spanish and a french civ, whereas in the reality, they belong to the same civilization, altough they are independant states !
So why don't developpers take the 200 countries that exist, or the thousands of "nationalities" that compose these 200 countries, and put them all in Civilization ? At the begining of each game, an option would allow the player to choose between playing again one to 200 civilizations. The "200 mode", on a large map, would be almost impossible to win by war, but what an exciting experience to meet more than two or three civs in Europes, whereas kings and republics through History had to deal with at least fifteen opponents at the same time ? nowadays, since sovietic union has disappeared, more than thirty countries share the European continent. They are peaceful, but they used to be warmongers. It would be much more amazing than spending centuries to find an opponent.

About your first reason, that's why I wanted the Incas to be included. If Firaxis were to include two Native American civs they should included Incas (South America) and Sioux (Western North America) and that would give US eastern North America. That would be evened out on the world map, it would be great if these two Civs would have been included in the game along with the Aztecs. Anyways, now that I started to think about having all of South America is that ideal. You're only gaining a huge mountain chain and a huge amount of jungle, wow. So that doesn't give the Aztecs a such a big advantage. Plus towards the north of them is desert.
Yes, the Americans and Iroquis will be slowing each other down but isn't this kind of realistic in a way. They were both being slowed down by each other in real life. Plus playing on a large map there should be some moderate seperation. I'd imagine that the Iroquis will start out in the northern New England (i.e. New York) area while the Americans will start out in the southern New England (i.e Washington DC).
So what the Russians get all the (civ) unhabital land.
Yes France can cut off everybody from Iberia but they will have fierce competion in trying to achieve that goal. Romans, Greeks, and Germans from the west and the English to the North, and possibly the Egyptians from the South.
The Egypt-Persia problem is a big problem, recently in Civ2 I played a European map game. I was the English, the other AI civs were Babylonians, Persians, Russians, Egyptians, French, and Indians (had to throw in another civ). The Egyptians evern by modern times only had around 5 cities and the Persians got defeated very early. So this is a most definite problem.
If Japan doesn't get all of the Pacific they will be very weak.
Your last topic has nothing to do with geography.

8- and can you see the power of france coming to bear! imagine production+comercial, it can just rape europe
but i should probably wait for the game before complaining |
1- that happens in civ 2. most of south america (in civ terms) is jungle / swamp, takes a while to colonize well / cross, AI usually avoids most of it.
2- Americans / souix do that in civ 2. and they should. and, not really. if the map is 6x larger both civs should be realitevly large by the time they meet / draw borders.
3- again, already happens in civ 2. and on the Europe map? forget it.
4- you forgot 4. 
5- France really cant do that if u throw in the Romans / Greek / Germany / Spanish. oh yea. no spanish. pity. 
6- Egypt and Persia would starve in civ2, but there are certain areas they can thrive. there is no Carthage in civ 3, so Egypt can take the north african coast (meddeterain climate), and Persia can either rape the babylonians and take the Fertile Crescent, or head north into turkey or southern russia.
7- Japan does get all the Pacific in civ 2, at least when i play as them, and they deserve it. it's hard to play as an island nation early in the game. sea squares arent kind to production early on.
8- personally, i don't see France being a threat with other European civs hanging around. also, being indust. and commercial (starts with masonry and Alphabet), they could be at the whim of the Roman Archers or Chariots, or the greek Phalanxes.
just because theyre rich and fast builders doesnt mean they can conquer their neighbors. and plus the french CSU comes later on in the game. the roman legion seems rather good for an early weapon.
