Let me explain myself better. Most written sources about continental Celts come from greeks and romans. It was prohibited for the Celts to write down religion or history. It was transmitted orally by the druids. The writting was rare and was reserved to the elite, such as druids.
Ah well the writer said that christian monks in the early medieval times wrote down the told stories.
Thatās right, in Ireland
According to this writer also in central europe.
Make an āearlobeā civilization.
Each earlobe has a different ātypeā.
Such as ācitizen earlobeā starts collecting deer for food. The ones that fight spin around like in 3d mode like a wheel and then they also hire āfeetā and other such creatures to come stomp around.
Usually these are depicted in all mythologies and so it makes perfect sense.

and will have Eldritch creatures
Of courseā¦would be awesomeā¦
yes i think would be nice
Surprised to see SEA (Japan, etc) so low. I do wonder how the forum demographics skew internationally.
Iām British (as heck haha) but Japanese myth has a lot of fascinating stuff. Thereās a lot you can do with yokai and the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons alone. This is before you get onto things like guardian shrines, creator myth and so on.
(also voted for Persian and Mesoamerican, but theyāre popular picks)
I honestly donāt think Japanese Myth is that low as you think it is. Its just in the middle ground I would say of most wanted new civs and I think that also has to do with two things: 1. Ppl want a drastic overhaul of Chinese civ first and 2. there are cultures like Persian, Mesopotamian, African and especially south American (Aztec/Inka/Maya) which simply are more drastically different than the existing ones I assume. - and about Slavic which might be as similar to Norse as Chinese to Japan: I guess most want Slavic more since it has the classic vampires and werewolves in it (even I think you could bring werewolves into Norse similar they brought Manticore into Greek)

my personal favorites would be babylonians, celts, romans and japanese
and yes i know about the āāroman mythology is technical the sameāā thing BUT:
- the romans are an iconic choice for any age game based on the antique
- there are still some little differences to play with
- the whole not mythological part of this culture is way different enough
- many things can be switched around logical and interesting (Ares is a greek minor god. His roman counterpart Mars could make a great major god here for example)
- same goes for myth units (the atlantean satyr is a spear throwing fighter, the faun (roman counterpart) could be a fluteplaying healer dressed in leaves etc.)
- roman counterparts of not used greek gods could also be used (for example faunus with his faun units)
etcā¦
gods that would technically appear in both cultures (ares and mars for example) would of cause get own artworks and a little bit of a different interpretation overal
just my 2 cents 
and yes, a mesoamerican culture could be cool aswell
Doesnāt make any sense at all, itās the same god.

Itās a little bit more complicated than that. Romans already worshiped their gods before they learnt about the Greek ones, they just didnāt have myths about them that we know of (and interestingly enough, I heard their gods were genderless by this point). When they decided to adopt the Greek myths, they associated each of their gods with the closest Olympian in term of attributes and domain, but they didnāt necessarily change their personilities. Thus the Roman Mars, symbole of a warrior virtues and excellence, replaced Ares in the myths despite Ares being largely despised by the Greeks as a warrior with no discipline and a behaviour more beastly than human in their mind, losing his temper on yhe battlefield and fleeing cowardly as soon as heās hurt. Yhe Romans ended up with some gods being presented as quite different in their myths and in their worship.

Obviously some myths were different, even in some parts of ancient Greece there were different interpretations for the same myth or godās portrait (Ares was considered by Spartans an example of warrior virtues and excellence aswell).
However, it still doesnāt mean that roman gods were that different from their greek counterparts, adding roman mythology would be extremely redundant given that both greek and atlantean mythologies already coexist in the game.
I donāt think so. And i listed several reasons why and methods how. But i can understand your opinion. 
Atlanteans are a better justifications than Greeks to exclude Romans, tbh. They take way too much inspiration from Rome and we need civs with a more unique feeling.

I initialy thoght the same because in a very early concept they seemed to be romans in an alpha state of the addon but when you think about it:
are they too roman because they have one unit with a tower shield and one with a gladiator helmet?
the titans arenāt roman, the myth units arenāt roman, the architecture isnāt roman, the rest of the units (and the general look) isnāt roman and nothing in the playstyle concept feels roman (except maybe the favor thing).
