OK, here is my revised list:
1. Belgae: The most cool units, they seem quite powerful an surely deserve a slot the most.
2. Lugii or Boii: They are just in the right place for stopping the Sweboz.
3. Skythians: They were in the decline, but didn't Makedon also was in the decline? So that's no reason to exclude them. They would be interesting as a slightly hellenized nomad faction.
4. Bosphorion Kingdom: Good place between Skythians and Sarmatians!
5. Erainn (sp): A good counterbalance for the Casse. Isn't it all about the balance of powers?
6. Numidian tribe: To give the Carthies something like a challenge in Africa.
7. The rest would be nice for "really" rebelling factions. I don't know if this would be possible.
After all, I don't think that Kyrene, Pergamon, Syracusae or even Massalia would be a great idea. They are just far too little, and also in already overcrowded areas. The only way I could imagine them would be a "western mediterranean greek confederacy" with cities like Syracusae, Massalia and Emporion. But I guess this would be pretty ahistoric.
