I don’t think they’re especially Eurocentric when they constantly snub the idea of adding Prussia. It’s completely absurd to exclude them if your focus is on Europe. The recent focus on Europe is mostly just a continuation of the work put into KotM and ongoing work to modernize the older civs.
In some ways, less care has been taken with the European content. For example, the European treasure guardians include things like recycled wild boars which seems a lot more sloppy than the array of units on the African maps. The whole Malta civ is very low quality recycled content, and even Italy pales in comparison to the level of historical detail stuffed into USA and Mexico.
They have also made some superficial attempts at reworking the native civs, but that is tainted by wokeness and has been more or less an abject failure.
I’m still holding out hope for meaningful reworks of the Asian civs. They should get rid of religious explorers, make wonders into generic landmarks, fix Asian outlaws, give them a proper Tavern equivalent, rework the consulate, and split up India. And of course, then they could add more Asian civs if all the issues with them are resolved.
There are also changes that should be trivially simple but have not been done forever. Like why do Sacred Cows look European when the proper Zebu model has existed since TAR?!
