The late game turns are already pretty slow, so I'd be careful with what you wish for regarding additional civs. Its not that I'm against the idea, I just think there are probably higher priority civs that should be implemented first. Israel would work really well as a city state (a la civ 5), but I'm not sure thats possible.
Reminds me of a quick idea I threw together a while ago while I was bored.
Iraq - Babylon Respawn starting around 1920ish.
Leader Saddam Hussein
Favourite civic: Autocracy.
UU: Republican Guard Replaces Mechanised Infantry. +1 Stability while running Autocracy.
o Explanation: Ehhhhh . Pretty obvious.
o Art exists
UB: Swords of Qādisīyah Replaces Triumphal Arch. Automatically completes either when you successfully complete your second UHV, or successfully fail your second UHV.
o Explanation: Upon failing to win the Iran-Iraq war, Saddam went ahead and built his victory arch anyway.
o Art exists.
UP: Power of - +1 Oil from Oil Wells.
UHV:
Control or Vassalise Persia by 1985
- (Approximately Historical Attempted)
Have a larger military than Egypt, Arabia, Turkey or Persia in the year 1970
- (Approximately Historical)
Build 10 Tactical Nukes By 2000
- (Approximately Historical?)
Obviously this is crazy impractical and silly.
Israel as an additional civ would be silly, but I agree that Phoenicia should respawn as Israel, and not Lebanon. Israel has fought successful wars against large parts of the Muslim world, has nuclear weapons, and took out Adolf Eichmann. What has Lebanon done in comparison?
Having a Phoenician respawn as Israel would complete a Modern Middle East with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq as a respawn of Babylonia, Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan as a respawn of the Mughals.
