Because every Southeast Asian civ added is taking the place of a Middle Eastern or Native American civ that could have been added.
How many more Middle Eastern Civs will be added? Babylon, Ottomans, and maybe a third one. I'm betting on only 2 North Amerindian Civs in Civ6, only you are referring to all the Amerindians including the Maya and the Inca.
Yes, but in my ideal Civ the Ancient Middle East and Indigenous North America would make Europe look sparse, and my Medieval Europe would still look about like Ed Beach's.I don't think they are taking places from the Middle Eastern or Native American Civs.
Conversely, I don't really need a crowded Southeast Asia. Two are honestly enough for me--I'd rather see more alternate leaders (yes, plural, so please you) for China, if I'm honest.

I don't really want alternate leaders for China, since they won't add much difference to the Civ, only their leader ability/agenda will be different.
...A lot. Babylon, Assyria, Akkad, Elam, Mitanni, Hittites, Kassites, Amorites, Israel, Phoenicia, Aram, Sumer, Egypt (three leaders), Nubia, Ancient Libya, Carthage, Achaemenid Persia, Sassanid Persia, Parthia, Ugarit, Philistia...Gotta have them all.How many Civs would you give the Ancient Middle East and Indigenous North America each?
I'd probably be happy with 5 Native North American civs + Maya, Mixtec or Zapotec, and Aztec + Inca + rotating guest South American civ (Civ6 had Mapuche, so we can go for Muisca next) for the New World.

I don't think those languages are well attested. You forgot Yemen/Saba.....
Yes, add Saba, speaking a Modern South Arabian language if necessary. Kassites will speak either Hurrian or Sumerian. Amorites will speak Canaanite/Hebrew. Ancient Libyans can speak a Berber language. Philistines speak Hittite. Solved.What languages will the Kassites, Amorites, ancient Libyan, and Philistine leaders speak?

It is theorized that they were Anatolians, yes, based on some linguistic elements in their names and the fact that they didn't practice circumcision, unlike their Semitic neighbors (the Hebrews practiced infant circumcision, but the other Canaanites still practiced adolescent circumcision). And Hittite is better attested than most Anatolian languages, making it the logical choice.

Well, it may simply be because you have a better affinity with Middle-eastern and northern american civs. If it were for me, Burma, Vietnam, Siam and Malay would all be added, along with Babylon, Assyria, Yemen, the Hittites, Phoenicia (and Turkey, of course). However, for northern native american civs, there would not be more than 2 or 3, as I simply don't have a great affinity with them.Yes, but in my ideal Civ the Ancient Middle East and Indigenous North America would make Europe look sparse, and my Medieval Europe would still look about like Ed Beach's.
Absolutely. Bronze/Iron Age Near East, Medieval Europe (mostly High Medieval), and Native North America are essentially my key interests in history, with a side thing for China and Korea that I haven't explored as deeply as the other three.
I do think SE Asia won't receive any more Civs (despite me wishing for more).
