Civ 5: Civilizations/Leaders Wanted!

I've often proposed the idea of splitting up some of the major civs which are influential enough to be broken down into their composite parts, which has already been done, by the guys over at more civs, with India and is in the process of being done with Polynesia. I'd personally argue for an Arab split, something like this:
Saudi Arabia
Colours: Dark Green with white accent.
Leader: King Faisal
First 5 cities: Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Jeddah, Doha.
UA: Arab Revolt - Rival civs influence over city states following your religion will decrease twice as fast. Every allied city state increases the value of all trade routes, depending on the era. (+2 in classical, +4 in medieval, +6 in industrial, +10 in modern) Double Oil resources.
UB: Hotel Complex, replaces Hotel - +1 tourism for every 10 gold produced by this city, alongside the regular benefits of a hotel. +5 gold.
UU: Bedouin Cavalry, replaces cavalry - Receive +30% combat strength if not on an improved tile. May not end its turn in a city, however, and automatically pillages tiles it finishes its turn on, even friendly tiles. May move instantly when bought.
This civ represents all of the modern nations of Arabia, though mostly focuses on their origins within the Arab revolt and the lengthy process of unifying Arabia's disparate tribes and clans. As such it clearly focuses on a diplomatic victory, one mostly bought with gold, rather than by completing missions, in true modern Arab style! In the late game, Saudi Arabia will be a gold powerhouse, allowing it to field an army of tough Bedouin cavalry, inspired by the Bedouin who fought in the Arab revolt, when paid, hence the ability to move when bought, and the lower respect for all your improvements!
Abbassid Caliphate.
Colours: Black with Green accent.
Leader: Harun Al-Rashid
First 5 cities: Baghdad, Mecca, Damascus, Medina, Aleppo.
UA: Splendour of the East: All Great Works provide +5 science, immediately receive a science bonus when Great Prophets are born.
UB: Madrassah, replaces University - +25% great person generation in this city, loses the science bonus on jungle tiles and instead gains +1 science for every 10 faith produced in the city.
UU: Camel Archer, replaces knight - as vanilla.
This represents the heyday of the Islamic caliphates, so technically both the Umayyad and Abbassid caliphates, and focuses clearly on a science victory, supplemented by faith generation. A strong religion will allow the Abbassid caliphate to steam ahead in its science generation, as will a focus on culture. The Madrassahs bonus to great people generation should aid the production of those science generating prophets and writers, artists and composers, further increasing the tech gap. A strong civ but nicely put together, in my opinion, of course.
Not sure about the others, I'm torn between a Safavid Persia, which would be worthy and interesting, but could be reserved for a Persia split which is probably just as needed as an Arab split. An Islamic Egypt, so either the Fatimids, Ayyubids or Mamluks. Possibly an Arab Spain, represented either by the Umayyads, the Cordobans or the Almohads, or finally, a greater Yemeni civ. I'm not sure so I'll probably draft some later.

I wonder if there should be a new thread for civ6 once we get closer to that in another year to a year and a half.

Digging the Tupi a lot, Findland and Vatican are cool too (don't think they'd put Vatican though, not really a civilization or anything close to one). Perhaps Vatican can easily be retcon by making it into the Papal States.
I'm gonna have to agree with the other gentleman in saying that it is weird to see Nevada here. However, if one really wanted to pick a state, and one that coincidentally represents the wild west, why not Texas?
Texas is much bigger and more economically important than Nevada (as well as way more populated). It also has a very unique culture that is influential, was once an independent nation, and isn't really represented much in USA's civ ability. Maybe they could have the Alamo or something.
So I have 3 original ideas for faith oriented empires with unique gameplay elements. Here they are 
************************************************************
Ilkhanate(part of Mongol Empire)
Leader: Mahmud Ghazan
UA: Political Conversion
-Great Prophets cannot found religions (but can enhance them).
-When capturing a city with a majority religion for the first time, you found
a new religion with the same beliefs as the one of the captured city (applies
when no new religions can be founded). *Religion will be named 'New {religion}', e.g 'New Buddhism'
-When capturing a city, all surviving followers of the original version of your
religion are converted to your newer version. This third trait also applies to the
founder of the original religion (or any civilization with the original
religion as majority religion) if they capture your cities.
UU: Mongol Bowman
-Composite bowman replacement. ranged cavalry unit. Costs 1 horses.
-Can move after attacking if unit hasn't already moved this turn.
-When within 2 tiles of a Great Prophet, gain faith for the empire from units
killed.
*upgrades to crossbowman
UB: Sacred Training Ground
-Barracks replacement.
-No xp bonus unlike barracks it replaces
-Units built here gain +15% damage against cities following your religion or
the original copy of your religion.
-Units built here gain +15% combat strength when within 2 tiles of a Great
Prophet. (stacks with Great General and siege bonus)
-Costs no gold maintainance.
The Idea behind this Civ is to have people bring their great prophets to the front line of a battle. Too many prophets preach non violence,
you feel me?
************************************************************
Kingdom of Jerusalem (Crusader state)
Leader: Baldwin I
UA: Religious Celebrations
-Gain +2 faith for the empire when founding cities.
-Every time a city increases in population, gain faith for the empire equal to
the new number of citizens in the city.
-Declarations of friendship with leaders who share a majority religion with you
decrease Great Prophet cost by 15%.
UU: Anointed Knight
-Knight replacement.
-Costs faith per turn instead of gold maintainance. (faith amount==gold amount,
decreases to half cost with mandate of heaven policy).
-Earn faith for the empire whenever unit is promoted.
+15% combat bonus against civilizations which don't share a majority religion.
+30% combat bonus against barbarians.
-Earn +5 xp when visiting a city with a castle(UB) for the first time.
(garrisoned in or adjacent to city)
UB: Chivalric Order
-Castle replacement.
+1 faith per turn for every shrine, temple and castle in cities connected
to this city which share a religion with this city.
+1 CS and +3 City Health if city is connected to capital and shares religion
with the capital (in addition to castle base stats)
+2 gold per turn in captured cities (annexed or puppeted) which share a religion with the Holy City
This civilization is a typical crusader state. There are bonuses to playing small or wide and there is definitely a domination flavour here.
************************************************************
Tibetan Empire
Leader: Dalai Lama
UA: Pilgrimage
+1 faith for the empire for each active Guru(UGP)
-During Golden ages, Each Guru and Disciple(UU) generates +1 Tourism.
-During Golden ages, Each Disciple gains +20% defensive combat strength and
+1 movement in friendly territory.
UGP: Guru
-Replaces both Great Prophet and Great General.
-Has the abilities of both above GP and is born when either would be born.
-When a Guru is born, two Disciples(UU) are born with him.
-Cannot be destroyed through attrition (though it still affects spread religion
quantity). Using final spread religion quantity does expend the Guru but not
if it is lost through attrition.
-Great General aura only provides +10% combat strength but gives +30% for units
when defending.
-All non cavalry, preindustrial land units gain +1 movement when starting their
turn next to a Guru, bonus is doubled for Disciples.
UU: Disciple
-Has unique martial arts promotions. (could get quite creative here)
-Gains combat strength for each era before modern era (making it slightly weaker
than a contemporary melee unit in those eras).
+20% chance for converting defeated enemies into Disciples.
-When visiting a natural wonder, holy site or city with a World Wonder built in
it for the first time, gain xp and points towards a golden age. (amounts vary
depending on what is visited). Removing fog of war from the map also generates
points towards a Golden age (small amount, less for ocean and coast tiles).
This game just needs more kung-fu. Nuff said.

i like this. its building and unit are both really powerful, but they're late, so that's completely fine. the gold from the hotel might need to be balanced, i don't know, but that wouldn't be hard to fix. either way, i like it. and, the unit has an annoying downside...but that's exactly what balances it. the ability is too strong, though. there's a guy who gets more gold from trade routes already and he doesn't get anywhere near +10, ever.
+5 science might be a bit much for each great work, but i don't want to fiddle with numbers. other than that, well done, indeed.
this...is great. i like how unconventional it is. i don't know how i feel about the unit, but it definitely adds to the overall unconventional feel.So I have 3 original ideas for faith oriented empires with unique gameplay elements. Here they are

no health in civ 5 (unless i'm missing something). maybe make that happiness? that might overlap with the mughal fort, though. other than that, the kingdom of jerusalem should be a faith juggernaut, and you made it so.
another unconventional civ. the ability might need something that doesn't require its unique units, though. i don't know what, though. anyway, which dalai lama would you suggest?

Changelog:
7 February 2014- Europe updated
10 July 2013- Moved Venice to obsolete section
19 May 2013- Moved Indonesia and Morocco suggestions to Obsolete section (Also removed Javanese and Majapahit due to overlap)
Spoiler Older :
This list is designed to be a comprehensive database of all civilization proposals suggested by the community for inclusion in the Civilization franchise, beginning with the fifth installment. The list is kept up-to-date by myself, while a contemporary to this list is maintained by MARDUK80 on the posts below this list. This list is not set in stone, entries are subject to change and are not property of any one individual. Suggestions may be made to refine other entries or incorporate new mechanics, and it is not guaranteed that a proposal will be included - non-serious or overpowered (OP) proposals will not make it.
Following the announcement of the Brave New World expansion pack, a post compiling those suggestions which are now obsolete due to their inclusion in the game has been established Here. Suggestions can be made in the thead, as well as comments on other proposals.

Phoenicia- Traders of the Ancient World- Cargo Ships have +50% range. Each Cargo Ship sent to a different civilization gives Phoenicia and its trade partner +1 Happiness.
Hippoi- A replacement for the Trireme, this ship has +1 movement over the regular trireme, and may enter Ocean Tiles, although there is a chance the ship will take 20 damage if it ends its turn on the ocean.
Tyrian Purple- A unique improvement, this improvement can only be built on the coast, the improvement gives +2 gold and +1 food. The first two improvements will create a unique luxury known as Tyrian Purple.

Also, that Dacian civ is exactly the same as Germany, except the percentages are decreased.
I agree with you awesome regarding valimali's conception of the Dacian civ,tho there should be 1 Dacian or Romanian civ in the game so I have other ideas which may not be the best but maybe worth mentioning:
as for Dacians i thought as the leader to be Burebista (not Decebal) because Burebista was the 1 who unified the tribes and created the Dacia that Decebal lost to Romans in fact...
Colour: orange with black or blue and black
Capital would be Sarmizegetusa ofc.(bias would be near mountains,lakes and with hills and forests)
UU : Falxes(or Falxman) replaces Swordman.Slightly stronger and starts with Drill promotion (but slightly more expensive aswell)
UB: Murus Dacicus (replaces Wall) In the addition of the stats from Wall,Murus Dacicus decreases the effectiveness of siege weapons by 20% and increases the stationated unit's strenght by 10%
UA: Carpathian sovereigns ( this 1 might be discussable) Cities founded near mountain start with +3 Production and Gold,but with 35% lesser Food. Also receive double gold from pillaging those cities.
As for preffered victory you could choose any,but Domination would be the best,also Diplomacy might work, but they would be lesser fit for Science or Cultural victory.
As for the Romanian civ
Colour : blue and red
Leader: Vlad Tepes ( the Impaler)
Capital:Bucharest (forests,hills and plains)
Here there might be 2 options regarding the UA,UU,UB and eventually an UI
First option:
UA: Chase through dessert : Any Romanian unit is capable of pillaging its own improvements,decreasing the strength of the enemy units who enter in the territory by 8% for any pillaged improvement (this may stack up untill 64%).Romanian units who enter enemy territory and pillage improvements also receive a combat bonus of 4% that may stack up untill 40% for every unit that is inside territories with pillaged improvements ( this was actually inspired from the tactics romanian adopted when Charles Robert of Anjou came in Wallachia,they would burn their crops and poison the fountains,so that the hungarian armies may starve, being able to win the battle by hiding and ambushing them)
UB : Hambar ( this name might be discussable just yet,maybe you could suggest a more appropiate name) replaces Granary and exchange of the food from wheat,deer and bananas it will provide +4 or +5 food by total ( +5 might work or maybe its too much) and +2 happiness
UU: Razesi replace Knights - their special traits is the combat bonus of 20% when the empire is religious ( has a religion) and the Charge promotion. They are also more expensive in both faith and production.
2nd option :
UA : Ordo Draconum (might be unfit as the founder was a Hungarian king,but Vlad got his Dracula (Drake ) image from the cape with the Order's emblem that he was wearing)
Every 5 units killed provide permanently +1 happiness,+1 gold and +1 science for the empire ( might not be sure about the science,since it would be illogical but why not,its +1 so it wont make that much of a difference unless u kill around 500-1000 units,and also might not work for barbarian,you could help me decide this,but prolly not I guess)
UU: Same Razes(plural is Razesi),because there was no other romanian specific unit throughout our history,and it has the same bonuses as the 1st option
UI: Fields of spikes : Tile improvement that may be built anywhere and in any circumstances
Any enemy unit that is adjacent to this improvement will take 10 HP Damage per turn. Also provides +1 Production and +1 Culture if it's within your borders
Maybe I have made the romanian civilization (and even the dacian ) a bit too op so I'm open to some modifications or suggestions. I tried as much as possible to be original and not try to copy other civilizations,if I did I might have done it without knowing so please tell me if I actually did it.
EDIT : As you can see both civilizations are inclinated to domination victory,but you could also go for a Diplomatic victory for both of them,not so recommended to follow cultural (maybe for Romania) and science victory may work for both of em but not so efficient

I'd like to propose splitting up China into its respective Dynasties.
Ming
Colours: yellow with Burgundy accent.
UA: Inner Reflection - Internal trade routes provide culture. Finishing a social policy tree triggers WLTKD in all cities without an international trade route.
UB: Printing Press - replaces the zoo. Unlike the zoo, has a slot for a great work of writing. +2 gold.
UU: Shenjiying - Replaces musketman. +10% production time, but available at Machinery, instead of gunpowder.
Qing
Colours: Blue with Yellow accent.
UA: Census and Bureaucracy. - Receive a production boost in the capital every time a new citizen is born anywhere in the empire. +1 production in every city over 15 citizens.
UB: Examination School - Replaces university. Instead of the +2 science on jungle tiles, receive an extra 1% boost in science in your 3 largest cities for every 5 citizens in this city, and an immediate empire wide science boost when a new citizen is born.
UU: Banner Cavalry - Replaces lancer. Unlike the lancer, is a ranged unit and forgoes the +33% bonus against mounted units for a +25% bonus against infantry and a lessened penalty against cities. (-15%). Increases local city happiness when garrisoned.
PRC
Colours:Red and Yellow

CiV's first masochist faction:
Ryukyu Kingdom
Leader: Sho Tai
UA: Dialogue Through Tribute: Gain a free tech of your choice and a random free great person every time a city is lost through conquest or traded away as part of a peace deal; gain a certain amount of culture for satisfying each trade demand, which is numerically equal to the gold worth of the trade demand; 10% chance of receiving a free unit immediately with every gift of gold to a militaristic city-state; gain 20 turns' worth of trade route benefits for every trade route originating from a Ryukyu city that has just been plundered by another civ.
UB: Shuri Castle: Replaces Palace (the building every civ has in their capital), 5% chance of a diplomatic victory every time this building is destroyed, in addition to regular Palace functions.
UU: Great Negotiator: Replaces Great General, no combat bonus, but can be expended to immediately negotiate a no-strings-attached peace treaty with a target enemy civ as soon as it enters an enemy civ's borders; cannot build forts, but can be expended to immediately erase all diplomatic penalties with a target civ once within its borders.

@Urdnot_Scott,
How about:
Han
UA: Silk Road: Road, railroad and harbour connections to city states or other civs' cities generate gold as though those cities were part of the Han Empire.
UU: Armed Caravan: Replaces Caravan, fights with 15 strength before being knocked back upon contact with an enemy unit (when the trade route would otherwise be plundered), does not affect experience. Strength increases to 20 in the medieval era, and 25 in the industrial era.
UB: As you wrote above.

As the title explains, this is a place for a bunch of hypothetical civilizations, and possibly some other random stuff as I thought of them. I don't intend to mod these in or request someone do so or anything, they're just random little ideas. Some are going to be notably less silly than others.
Lion's Gate is interesting, I considered having it replace coliseums and monuments as well. Ideas I had consisted of faith, extra culture from culture building in the city, etc, so yeah, there's a lot of idea for that one so I might change it if I come up with a better idea.
This, however, I'm far more settled on, I quite like what I did with this one.
A perfect example of me taking a joke to far, this started as a joke with some friends about things in Zelda as civ nations, so...this. I mean, at the very least there's some interesting stuff.
Spoiler Hittites :

Moderator Action: Merged with existing Civilizatinos/Leaders Wanted thread.
Obvious thread, no sure why it doesn't exist already 
please write down what civilisations and leaders would you like to see. Or maybe some new game mechanics for civilisation division?
Personally I would love to see civilisations divided on few grand groups like European, Oriental, Ancient, Nomad, Subsaharan, Precolombian - with each group having distinctive music, art style and maybe some gameplay differences (different tech tree for each group would be incredible [emoji14] )
Anyway, what civilisations are ''necessary'' in a base Civ game and thus ''confirmed'' to appear in Civ6? Personally I think...
- Egypt
- Greece
- Rome
- India
- China
- Japan
- Russia
- Germany
- France
- England
- America
- [TEMPLATE: Aztec or other Precolombian civ]
- [TEMPLATE: Middle Eastern civ]
- [TEMPLATE: Subsaharan civ]
Well, personally I say it would be awesome to see...
- SUMER
- CAHOKIA
- OLMECS
- KONGO ruled by Nzinga: bonus points for badass black queen
- HUNGARY or anything from Balkans, come on
- VIETNAM ruled by warrior queen Lady Trieu
more ideas for New Civilisations:
Nazca, Olmec, Toltec, Zapotec, Cherokee, Mexico, Inuits, Berbers, Aborigines, Bantu, Zimbabwe, Kilwa, Nubia, Kanem Bornu, Ghana, Ashanti, Andalusia, Benin, Israel, Afghanistan, Timurids, Myanmar, Malaysia, Tibet, Philippines, Australia, Canada, Khazaria, Armenia, Georgia, Wallachia, Serbia, Italy...
