Good luck... you can always mod those in yourself, which I am willing to bet your will have to. Wasn't "Crete" called Mycanae?

^No, that was Minoa. Mycenae was on mainland Greece, and (at least according to traditional scholars) had a more militaristic culture than the more peaceful and trade-oriented Minoans.
awesome

My pick are
Spoiler :
Listing half of Europe, all of continental North America, all of Southeast Asia and the Far East, and the ABC powers of South America isn't exactly a list......I'd also argue that Chile is on it's way out the door as any type of power or cultural influence, even regional.

I'm Peruvian, and Peruvians and Chileans don't get along even today for the dumbest thing(in Civ4 terms, Chile DOWed on Peru while at Pleased/Friendly), so take what I say how you like, but I'm going to try and state it without bias. Chile has played a delicate balance game to even survive as a state, being the last part of the Viceroyalty of Peru to be broken off from the Viceroyalty, it then had to play a delicate balance game with Argentina and Peru, and to a lesser extent Bolivia, to survive, at which point they declared war on Bolivia out of aggression to stop a union between Peru and Bolivia AKA ALTO PERU at the time. From that point out, Peru and Chile are in economic war in guano and copper until a certain general coups in Chile and another in Peru, and the Peruvian one prepares for war but decides to back down. From that point on, it's been mutual dislike. Rough summary of Chilean foreign relations. Not seeing how it's important......really, no South American country with the slightly possible exception of Brasil could be considered.

Sooooo from a South Americans point of view no South American civs should be included in civ5?
Only the Inca Empire, but I'm Peruvian, so It'd be cliche for me to say so. 
But I'm an ardent supporter of the Inca Empire. It's South America's Rome, but better. We did it on mountains with little trade, our technology was only beginning to kick up speed at the arrival of the Spaniards, a superior opponent. We divided our empire, and reunited. We where bigger than Rome at it's peak. Who knows where the Inca empire could have headed. All Incas had a brief struggle for the title of Inca, but the empire chugged on united and conquering. I'd say the Inca Empire is the pinnacle of New World civilization. So in short, yes, but I didn't want to sound 1-sidedly nationalistic. But when someone mentions Chile as important, it makes my Peruvian blood full of state propaganda steam a little. Even more so when someone brings up Gran Colombia, a 10-year confederation that was a complete failure. THEN they also proceed to not even add the Inca Empire to their list. It burns a little inside when they do this, the assumptions and guessing about South American history burnnnnnnnn.....

Actually, now thinking of it, one European civilization I'd like to see in Civ is Italy. If they had the will to put the Byzantines in, or the Holy Roman Empire, perhaps they can put the Italians in. The Italians during the late Medieval and Renaissance periods played an important role in terms of culture, science, politics, and economics.
I guess the only reason they aren't in is because they're too 'similar' to Rome... But it'd be a nice surprise if they were in one of the expansions.

Inca deserve to be in, they were awesome, powerful, and are well knownOnly the Inca Empire, but I'm Peruvian, so It'd be cliche for me to say so.
Italy was a bunch of city states then, Thats like calling the Taifas of ~1000 CE Al Andalus!

nope I don't miss them, and quite frankly I don't think anybody else does

So ancient Greece was also a bunch of city states as was the Aztecs, the Mayans and the Germans through most of there history but there still in there, so whats the difference?
They should make a fruit based civ.
special power: no unhealthiness in all cities (built of veges)
special unit: killer, dancing bananas
The one civ no one has yet mentioned is the power of the mighty fruit. Be your strategy to overwhelm your opponents with juicy delicious pomegranates, or stale durian fruit, the almighty fruits will overcome all baskets attempting to hold them in from their righteous path of global domination. Their vege cities will stand the test of time, and their dancing bananas, renowned the world over, will not cease until the world is theirs! No wicker basket, nor sack can contain the power...prepare!

seriously?The Aztecs subjugated a bunch of people so a main group was in charge
Maya? removal
Germany? most of their history? but Germany is young only ~130 years old IIRC and one country for much of it (If you count East/West as one)
