    A Bosphorian Kingdom, same as Massalia, mixed factions are always fun to play. Thureopherontes Toxotai (Bosphoran Heavy Archers) have I to say something else? A problem is perhaps a too ahistorical expansion into the steppes.

    I really like the idea of a North-African nomad faction, but I doubt it is possible to implement such a faction due to cultural limits. Other than that, I'd go for a Pergamum, Syracuse, Yuezhi (I know, they probably won't make it) and perhaps a faction like Rhodos-Halicarnassos to spice things up in Asia Minor. I have to admit I don't know whether there is any historical ground to implement the latter faction.

    I'm not against Belgae either, but they don't rank high on my wish-to-see list.

    A Belgae tribe would be interesting (you could for a fully Celtic one like the Remi or Bellovaci, but you could also pick a Germano-Celtic one like the Nervii or Menapii - and that last option is a very interesting one IMO).

    Turdetani, Edetani or Ilergetes? I feel no coastal iberian faction will make it...
    oh well there is always the lusitanni or the possibility of some celtiberian tribe

    Let pray Syracuse is in at least

    Hmm, I'd put my money on an Iberian tribe as a faction, rather than on a Celtiberian one.

    I'd like to see:

    1) Celtiberians (so that the Lusos won't create their super-empire so easily).
    2) Belgae (to spice the things up a little bit in Gaul)
    3) Marcomanni or Boii (so that eastern Europe won't be such an empty space)
    4) Syracusai (sp)

    Also, it would be nice to see Numidians, to make things more difficult for Carthaginians in Africa. Mauryan satrap is an interesting idea, but I doubt it will make its way into the game.
