Design your own Civ VI civ

Ashurbanipal better

Croesus isn’t Turkish (He is Lydian though)

Thus, "Anatolia" like, we very obviously aren't getting "Lydia" as a civ. But maybe just calling it "Turkey/Anatolia" could swing it

And yes Ashurbanipal is probably more notable. But Tiglath Pileser is funnier to say. Also I wanted a "mass deportation" mechanic, not a "burn their f*ing cities to the ground!" mechanic.

Lydia would probably be a city-state. Anatolia is, at best, a geographical term.

Aztecs in Civ 5

Ugh! It's the murder bonus, again!

If you look up Rengua and the massacre at Lyamungo it's impossible not to gravitate towards such an ability

Yes, there are many civ's who participated in, and instigated horrible massacres and slaughters, and celebrated such butcheries. My opposition is giving mechanical rewards for it - and arbitrarily to certain ones.
