We do actually throw in new nations though, for example the north american "khanates", the Jahsetic civilizations, just to name a few. Those were created more recently, and to be fair we do try to stick to the base timeline, but as you can probably see by recent events we stray pretty far from that path.

Player lore and self development are self evident as well, so I'm not entirely sure if your opinion is based off the most recent KdM version. Could you elaborate further?
