Hmmm, that is an issue. 

My main problem is trying to find a way to create something ancient/medieval but allowing others to create their own Empires/Kingdoms. I could make it more early medieval and just allow people to create Empires from that. Tech from early 1200 but no political lines of any sort.

This will still need to have some sort of history for that unless you're flying the silly, "Yea whatever, re-write everything" option of story. The Kingdom of France didn't just happen, and I'm sure people will try to make that just happen.

The other option might be to center everything on Egypt for this period, since that's the only place in way-early Bronze Age with anything significant going on. Later on would by the Assyrian City-states half-way through that epoch. But most of everywhere else probably didn't have enough proper city-states to cover significant ground in intrique and conflict or were pretty much tribal. And spanning across all of Europe, Anatolia, and the Middle East is too much for a period with so little political happenings.

Hell, you could probably focus down in on Bronze Age Germany and make it out to be Barbarian tribes too. But not everyone. Doesn't work.
