As I recall Warangal was under another Reddy dynasty, tributaries to the Bahmanis but also overcome by the Gajapatis.
Its true that the game preempts the final defeat of the Reddys though they where pretty doomed by this time the biggest reason is to give Orissa a chance to achieve what they did achieve historically, something thats really unlikely if you just look at the resources at their disposal (and that's more or less how their contemporaries viewed the Gajapatis too from what I can tell and the reason Kapilendra gets so much praise).
This was easier to get away with on the old map with its sparse province setup, and it would indeed be kind of nice to see the Redfys make an appearance instead. Still it would be a shame to have Orissa never take on its historical role as the wildcard that might catch the Bahmanis and Vijayanagar off guard.
