Gaelic civ would be sweet though. Bonus to religious spread and a Gallóglaigh UU. Plenty of medieval leaders to choose from like Máel Sechnaill. Probably wouldn't work with the current Celts in the game of course but it'd be nice to have Celtic leaders who aren't based on Roman interactions (hence always Brythonic or Gallic). You could avoid some city overlap by using sites like Tara and Scone.

I even heard a suggestion for Robert the Bruce or Brian Boru as leader. Could be doable, and definitely a dark horse.
Phoenicia as a naval/exploration/trade power, though they overal with Carthage quite a bit. Still, there were many Phoenician city-states with Tyre as probably the most prominent and fitting for a capital. Kinda like Greece, but with different focus.

The Saxons would be quite dark horses. The bonus is that huscarls are already in with leader artwork (even if not the actual leaderscreen) and they can just use the Stave Church under another name.

I would like the Saxons, but what would their capital be? Also, Harold II wouldn't be the ideal leader choice, in my opinion, and I'd suggest Alfred instead, if you want to go more with Anglo-Saxons rather than Saxony. It depends on which you're going for as to how the civ will turn out.

The Saxons can just use English cities with Saxon names. Wincestre/Eoferwic - Winchester/York. And depending on whether the UA was war/cultural, religious or defensive would depend on whether the leader was Aethelstan, Edward or Alfred

Jamaica, Cuba or Haiti would all be interesting; Caribbean's been more or less overlooked so far.
