Because this idea was more appealing to me, and I would prefer not taking up GB+NA as a single player. Feels too much like a power-grab.

Im Ok with 2 players from the same Timeline, and it isn't a power grab. We got someone owning almost all of East Asia, and we have someone almost owning all of Europe, and I don't even think those are power grabs. Like I said in the original post, if it is smaller then the mongols, Im ok with it.
