b.) we need someone to roflstomp godzilla style, and who better than those lesser - tech groups

Oh, of course, because of the game's name Europe is the 'Master Race', superior to all others. It's a wonder the rest of the world was included in the game-oh wait, it was included for a reason.
Europe is the center of all, and you can see this even in the interesting later start dates-wait, why is the Manchu-Ming wars shown in the game? No! The devs should not care of those dirty filths, they should be conquered by us angels of heaven the kings of Europe!
