I think we should have the Israelis because it would be cool to have a modern day campaign. Plus, the first scenario could be to defend you cities in Israel with your troops, and reinforcements coming in every now and then. The next few campaigns can be with the six-day war. The only problem is finding a unique unit for them...

The thing with Byzantium is, not only is it very similar to the Romans (and as you've now enlightened me, the Greeks) but the differences between Rome and Byzantium are the differences that emerge in one's civ as you move it through the 'test of time' at least, that's how I see it, the differences between the two occur not because they are fundamentally different entities but because they were the same entity in two VERY different eras.
Then WHY were the TWO so utterlly differnt when they still co-existed? These differnces were VERY fast in appering, and causing a split between the two
@Furius- just curious, but is your name fashiond after the secret unit in AOK?

Even at the height of the Roman Empire's power, the eastern half was viewed as more wealthy, corrupt, and decadent -- a view the Romans always held of the Greeks -- long before the split into the Eastern and Western Roman Empires...

Aren't they of Sarmatian origin? Yeah, they would be cool 
The West, as you know, did not have the same level of Graeco-Roman culture outside of Italy, southern France, north Africa and southern Spain. Italy remained very similar to the East Romans, southern France was barbarized and southern Spain and north Africa's Roman culture were Arabicized.
By the Crusades, the meditteranean world is divided into Moslem, East Roman and Romano (church)-Germanic (warlords) Western culture. They are separate civs at that point, but only because all three have diverged from each other - not because the Eastern Romans weren't Roman.

My earlier post was dealing w/ antiquity -- not the middle ages. However, the result of the Pelloponesian War revealed that the austere, militaristic culture (in this case, the region surrounding Rome, Gaul, and Germania) is not necessarily better than the wealthy, more "decadent" culture (in this case, Greece, and eventually Byzantium)...
