I'm actually quite surprised Israel, South Africa and Australia aren't on the list. I still think it's a good list don't get me wrong especially by adding the Celts, Hittites, Nubians, Assyrians, Vietnamese and the Swahili civ into the mod. Having the Swedes, Malays and the Kievan Rus as different entities is also a very great idea, and finally some more love for the pre columbians civ by adding the Toltecs. However wouldn't it be a better idea by introducing important civilizations that made historical impact, but also gameplay wise first, and then 'fan favorite' like civs as second? Like how is this list created in the first place? Is this based on what Leoreth prefers? Or are those civs crucial for gameplay purposes? Or more from a historical lens and impact? Or a combination of both? Or are they chosen by the fans through a poll by voting?
For example the Kushans can be easly replaced by the Israelites instead. Not only will it then be the first Jewish civilization into the game, it will most certainly create an interesting dynamic in the Middle East during the Ancient and Modern era, heck it can even be a short lived crusader state in the Medieval era. Same goes for Australia who then can finally take the whole continent for themselves, and be a potential superpower in the Oceania region during the Modern era.
Even though the Kushans can be an awesome addition since they can be a 'middle man' kinda civ between India and Persia, and it was the Kushans after all that made Buddhism more mainstream in Central Asia, which thanks to it's spread came all the way in China. They also heavily contributed with the Silk Road so there's that. However in the wider world history they are a short lived civilization. I rather see them later in the mod, and instead implement Israel and Australia first, but that's my opinion. Nevertheless I'm very interested to see where it all goes.
