I voted for Sumer, Assyria, Gauls, Phoenicia, Numidia, and Tonga.
I wouldn't mind others like Antiquity Japan eventually but not before these. I'm torn on Armenia because it should go in Antiquity but at the same time I'd want it to interact with religion but that's not until Exploration.
Also, in my opinion, the Norse should be in this age. :p
 
Celts because I love their culture.
Babylonian because of all the folklore around them (Assyria or Sumer might be more interesting, but Babylon is the great city of old myths and legends)
Phoenicia for I'm a sucker for a good maritime gameplay
Nazca because I'm obsessed with the geoglyphs and what they could mean
Minoan cause I love me a good mysterious civilization which fell dramatically
Tonga cause they're fascinating and we need seeing Pacific civilizations
 
-Celtiberians (would transition into Spain or the Abbasids)
-Garamantes (would transition into the Abbasids or Morocco)
-Norse (would transition into Denmark, Norway, Sweden or Rus')
-Goths (would transition into Spain, Florence, Venice, Milan, HRE, Abbasids or Exploration France)
-Palmyrans/Nabateans (would transition imto Abbasids)
-Sogdians (would transition into Ming or Mongolia)
-Caribs (would transition into the Muisca, the Arawak or the Taíno)
 
The Antiquity civs I’d prioritize to add first to the game:
  1. Amerindian - Nazca
  2. Celtic - Britons
  3. Eastern - Huns
  4. Germanic - Goths
  5. Levantine - Hebrews
  6. Mediterranean - Minoan
  7. Mesopotamian - Babylon
  8. Northern - Danes
Antiquity Age Leaders in the same Expansion Pack:
  1. Attila or Gunnar
  2. Boudica
  3. Cincinnatus
  4. Clovis
  5. David, Esther, Judas Maccabeus, or Solomon
  6. Fróði, Hrothgar, or Scyld Scefing
  7. Nebuchadnezzar
  8. Plato or Socrates
  9. Saint George
  10. Theodoric
 
Why not Yamatai or Yayoi Japan?
I'd prefer Firaxis avoid archaeological cultures as much as possible, especially when there is a well documented slightly later culture writing their own history not long after it. The Olmec or Nazca, for instance, are archaeologically interesting but a lot harder to work with than the literate Mayans, or even another archaeological but more recent culture such as the Tiwanaku (to be fair to the Olmecs, they probably invented writing in the Americas, we just can't decipher what little we have). By virtue of being closer to the present we have more stuff to work with and it's more likely they were partially preserved or mythologised by their successors.
