By the way what happened to the old Avatar. I loved that.

I dunno, man, the steampunk aesthetic wasn't too much a stretch but as good as the initial impression was Korra just didn't have near the impact as TLA.

My quick first thoughts on changes:
Inca is still great with Expansive, but the 70h cost hurts a lot. Only expansive option here is Washington, who gets cheap monuments.
Arabia hasn't changed much, but I like them anyway, why not March?
I guess the Ottomen's Hannams are better with Exp's +100% boost?
I don't have any weirdly supercharged leaders. Vicky is still probably best in a vacuum, but with a map this size I don't love REX-focus. Downgrade of the Imperialistics, upgrade the Philosophicals. Brennus, Qin, and Gandhi are the most interesting to me right now.

Their Camel Archer does get March.

Exactly. 
A quick note on my map thinking: A first-time mapmaker will be prone to juice the food, I expect lushness. This is also a 49-sized tight map, so horse archers are king. On the other hand, nobody here is even as food-tier as "generally competent newbie". Settling races matter, culture matters, and I won't be able to slow-roll Construction because we're going to be catting fast.

Ah I now understood how you meant "why not March?"

There's also Izzy in that list, though not an original choice in recent context.
