No. Though the area that have been used, are always huge areas, of vast numbers of people and buildings. Even the lands of the Barbarians, had some form of civility to them.
Well who is to say what Civility is and isn't? Some would say that Barbarians are not Civil, some would, the way they were portrayed in Diablo shows that it can be done. Why not do it with other cultures that may not seem "Civil" at first glance?
Actually I think that that would be pretty cool. Have the European area for Act 1 (Has to be European for Act one!) then Asian for Act 2 then African plains for Act 3 then Hell for Act 4. o.O Be pretty cool...
Why do you not like the idea of African or North American plains for Diablo?
If I recall the Silk Road didnt really take off until the 14th Century, around the time of the Crusades. Diablo is set in the 13th Century.
But your point still stands.
The trade route was initiated somewhere around 114BC, but there were earlier trade routes accross the continents that had already been in exsistance.

Asian Druids? Now that I'd like to see! I really like the idea actually. All those Chinese/Japanese styled buldings lying in the forest with animals walking around everywhere without being bothered by the constant human presence.
Gimme!
However the Druidic religion was in Europe. I am sure there are people who practice Druidry in Asia today, but not in those days, and the game rather closely parallels the real life history...

The Asian cultures weren't particularly well known by the European ones, if at all.
The sheer fact that the Silk Road was in exsistance points to the fact that the Asian cultures were rather well known by the European cultures...
Also, if you can do the Samarai rght, that would be a wonderful class to play as... Not the Ninja though, the Assassin is far too similar to the Ninja, unless of course the Ninja were to go almost purely weapon or physical killing... Still very similar though.. I doubt that Blizzard would do that...
