There was a lot of discussion in this topic: basically, the argument runs that the Yeuzhi most likely were not on the EB campaign map (although this is debatable) and even if they were, they were far more concerned with their enemies in the east than with expanding to the west. They did eventually turn west, and conquered Bactria, but only after having been defeated in the east. To properly represent their situation, the map has to be expanded to include China and their other Eastern enemies.

Personally, I think another German faction might be nice, or else another African or Arabian faction. As it is, these areas are conquered a bit too rapidly.
