What about the Helvetii? A considerable power in their own right if we believe the account in the 'Gallic Wars' by Caesar. They'd be a good foil to Roma in the north and a good dividing line between the Aedui and Arverni, not to mention that their position would mean they would be a challenging campaign as the player, while sheltered in the mountain ranges, would have to put up with a land that has relatively poor income and the trouble of dealing with Gauls, Romans, and Germans. The unit selection could be quite unique as well, as I imagine the Helvetii troops would be a weird mix between celts from both eastern and western europe, Alpine tribes, and northern Italians.

IIRC the Helvetii were part of the Boii confederacy at the start of the game. The Boii are already represented by spawning stacks, so I am pretty confident they will be in EB2.
