New World likely has its own city states and kingdoms. It is the biggest continent by far, and if its inspirations are indeed mainly native populations there is A LOT of ground they could cover.

Aztec, Native American, and all the proto style civilizations that existed before they got colonized by the Spanish, English, French, and etc. Contrary to what people often think, they were quite massive, and were thriving more than people realize. This could be some cool ground for exploring inspired in game cultures we have only had mere hints of.

Meracydia too, because of its obvious Australia inspirations, though Australia was largely unsettled, and Meracydia is described as likely having civilization, just people that refuse contact, and attack on sight when greeted with visitors.

I hope they don't try and fit both in one expansion. They need to take a breath and slow down. Develop areas to their full potential both narratively and aesthetically before running off to the next cool new zone they want to make.
