Harappa or indus valley civilization would be hard to add.we dont know anything about them and they had no military.
They added in Babylonians, so they could add Harappans. They did not have a professional military, or even a very experienced Milita force, which is why they got steamrolled by the Aryan tribes that invaded, but then again, the Persians had their Immortals Heavy Infantry and yet still lack the Academy in this game.
AoE always took some liberties with History, so they could still add Harappans as they did Babylonians, as a Bronze Age focused Economic civ, with very few unit options for the Iron Age, but a huge compensatory buff to Economy so they can spam a lot (Babylonians got super Walls and Towers, as compensation for poor Iron Age roster, for example).
Not true, we know that they hads no chariots (the Aryan tribes brought them to India), that they had a sewer system, advanced Farming, and good precious ore Metallurgy.
This is honestly enough for an AoE civ.
They would not have any Chariot units, but have a good buff to Farming and Gold gathering.
Put in some Composite Bowmen in there and Armoured War Elephants + Elephant Archers, and you have a decent Food and Gold focused civ, that works with lategame Elephant and Archer units.

What about leader names for the ai?

That would indeed be hard, because all we know about their government, is that their leaders held stones of power with animal depictions, probably as a badge of office, or identification of their city/domain or family.

They probably did not have a heredetary monarchy, however, but we do know some of their badges of office, such as Bull, Tiger, Unicorn, Buffalo and Elephant.
So we could have city names, or badges of admninistration, instead.
Such as: Elephant Seal, Unicorn SealâŚ

Israelites make less sense than Palmyrians. They were never more than a kingdom, and they are already represented by Phoenicians.
If it werenât for the bible and religious fanaticism, we wouldnât even have knowledge of them.

Kingdom of Israel, Kingdom of Judah, Hasmonean dynasty, Herodias, Judea, Yehud, Kingdom of Aksum and Kingdom of Simien.
Also they have history war, against Rome, Ancient Greek, Neo-Assyrian Empire, Persia, Ancient Egypt and civil war.
I know about Israelites was weak but they actually won few against countries before Rome period.
But Israelites is most interesting civ, to be honest.
âWhat ifâ campaign would interesting like what if Israelites won against Rome, what if Persia war with Ancient Egypt, etc. It would fun imagine.

They defeated enemies that were considered stronger than them, I would say that warrants them being ingame.

Nice illustrations, but I keep saying that they are already represented by the Phoenicians. Israelites are not a âcivilizationâ, but a kingdom (or several kingdoms however you want to see it)
I do not know if they are worthy or not to be included, as I said before, we already have Palmyrians who in my opinion are not a âcivilizationâ and they are still there.
