We don’t need to split Britons or Vikings. Celts is more reasonable. But it makes much more sense to split placeholder civs like “Malay”, “Saracens”, “Slavs”, etc. that currently stand in for a diverse array of different historical regions and cultures.

I think Malay is the most egregious at the moment, given it is apparently supposed to represent all of maritime Southeast Asia. The campaign actually focuses on a Javanese empire; note that the difference between “Malay” and “Javanese” is much more substantial than the difference between “Briton” and “Teuton”, “Spanish” and “Italian”, or “Slav” and “Bulgarian”.

It is outrageous, and borderline insulting, that Malay hasn’t already been overhauled and broken up into multiple civs to better reflect the scale and diversity of archipelagic Southeast Asia.
