I do think we will see a new Belgae faction in EB2, however, I believe they will be a mainland faction. Even so, I think this will help balance out Northwest Europe a bit more, especially since naval invasions will no longer be unheard of.

When playing England or Scotland in M2TW vanilla, it was not uncommon to see a Danish (or sometimes Portuguese) naval invasion of the British Isles even within the first few turns of the game, at least on harder difficulties. So, keeping that in mind, I think that even a mainland Belgae tribe could help balance out the Casse in Britain, and even if the Casse come out on top, I think we will start seeing more attempts by the Casse AI to launch naval invasions of the mainland. Which would certainly be nice.
Vanilla RTW also saw lots of naval invasions. The Scipii always invaded Carthage while the Brutii crossed over to Greece (and if you sent a diplomat you could bribe them while on the boats and have the Brutii fleet sail your new army with its super general over to conquer...). fx...
