I wish I'd not have to wait for a second expansion to play as Babylonians this time around.
 
That's why I voted for another sub-Saharan civ. Africa has always (imho) been short-changed (both in civ and in rl!) Could be zulu, or could be a new civ; lots of great ones to choose from. I've always thought the xhosa led by Nelson Mandela would be amazing. Berbers would also be cool (though that's N Africa). A bit further to the North, the Nabataeans would also be an amazing city state
Xhosa led by Madiba would be a gimme choice, but he's still alive. If Robert Mugabe had died in the late 80s/early 90s he would have been a gimme for a Shona civilization, but now even once he's gone his legacy has been trashed. Haile Selassie would be a decent choice for Ethiopia - he's not a Great Man like Mandela is or Mugabe was, but he was a shrewd politician, and certainly better for Ethiopia than the Derg was or European rule would have been. And he has way better name recognition than Zara Yakob.

The good news, at least, is that there are a lot of civs to choose from, even if Westerners can't recall too many leaders. It's a shame that we traditionally haven't gotten many sub-Saharan choices in the official package, but it's nothing modders can't handle.
