I've forget another one UU for Canada:
Avro Arrow: Supersonic plane made by Canadian in Canada, but was cancelled: Oh yeah, this plane make his first flight in 1958!
-----
It called for a manoeuvre capability of at least 2 G at Mach 1.5 at 50,000 feet at full weight with all combat missiles aboard. This daunting list of requirements, which can scarcely be exceeded by combat aircraft today, was the reason the Arrow was to be powered by enormous engines especially designed for it, and had to stow all missiles inside for maximum drag reduction.
With the new Iroquois engine, which delivered considerably more power, the Arrow was expected to break world speed records. Indeed, projected versions of the plane were to go as fast as Mach 3.
But on the 20th of February, 1959, days before the new Mark 2 series bearing the Iroquois engine was about to be tested, the bad news broke -- the Arrow was to be cancelled. Avro was instructed to immediately halt all work, and to destroy all prototypes and plans.
Employees were sent home, and 14,000 people lost their jobs. The cancellation is widely credited with contributing to the growing Canadian brain drain of the period - NASA grabbed up many of the key people displaced by the move, as did the Concorde and other projects. (can we call this Cultural Flipping, heheheh?)

But to comming back with the Thread:
Maybe we can add another "Amerindians Nation" in the North America? Like the Hurons?
They made an alliance with France to fight against the British and Iroquois.

They should really include Nubia, the Bantu, and/or the Mali Empire in the expansion. If they have Nubia, they could replace the archer unit with their famed "Archer of the Eyes".

Yeah, that void is known as the Sahara Desert 
But seriously, TeTurkhan has a mod that appears as a scenario on PTW. He has included the Abyssinians (Ethiopia); and if I recall correctly, the Songhai, which was a west-Africa empire back in about the 1300s, centered on Timbuktu. The Ashanti is another such empire that could be included for Africa.
From a website:
Ashanti, pronounced uh SHAN tee, are the largest and most powerful ethnic group in the West African country of Ghana. The group's name is also spelled Asante. Most of the approximately 1 1/2 million Ashanti live in south-central Ghana in the Ashanti Region. The capital of the region, Kumasi, is the second largest city in Ghana.
Songhai empire was a black trading state in Africa that reached its peak during the 1400's and 1500's. Songhai began during the 700's, and by the 1400's had more power and wealth than any other west African empire. It extended from the central area of what is now Nigeria to the Atlantic coast and included parts of what are now Burkina Faso, Gambia, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal. Gao, the capital, stood on the Niger River.
Songhai became powerful chiefly by controlling trade across the Sahara. Most of Songhai's people were farmers, fishers, or traders. The traders exchanged gold and other West African products for goods from Europe and the Middle East.
Two kings, Sunni Ali and Askia Muhammad, strengthened the empire more than any other rulers. Sunni Ali ruled from 1464 to 1492 and began a unified system of law and order, central government, and trade. His army conquered Timbuktu and Jenne, two West African trading centers. Askia Muhammad, also known as Askia I or Askia the Great, became king in 1493. Songhai reached its peak under his rule. Askia reorganized the government, expanded trade, and encouraged the people to practice Islam, the religion of the Muslims. His three sons deposed him in 1528. The empire ended in 1591 when a Moroccan army defeated the Songhai in the Battle of Tondibi.

For African civs I think, if they do have one (or more), either Songhai or its predecessors, Mali and Ghana, would be one, and Abbyssinia/Ethiopia. I'd personally also like to see the Moroccans (Moors), at points in time they conquered Spain, Portugal, Tunisia, Algeria, and ended the Songhai Empire.
What about South-east Asian countries? Cambodia (the Khmers) were pretty powerful early in Western Medieval times, and Burma, Thailand (Siam) and even Vietnam could also be included as possible civs. If you add the Koreans you have to add either the Khmers or Siamese.
As for Canada... being a Canadian, I'm happy without them. I just change the Iroquois to the Canadians and pretend their UU is a stone-age Mountie 
I'm glad they'll add the Hittites, Mayans, Incas, and Sumerians, though. I've used other civs and changed the names to be all of them at one point or another.
Other possible civs:
Harappans (Indus civilization)
Franks, Portuguese, Dutch (though I think there are already too many European civs)
Assyrians (though the Middle East is getting crowded, they were the world's first major empire)
Etruscans (see Franks)
Kushites

Alright..I love Civ 3, bought PTW the second day it came out...
but if Israel is not included, I wont buy this XP, regardless of any other great things it might include.
(Plus, it coincides with my final year of high school, so maybe I shouldn't, anyways.)
