What generals are y'all hoping will appear in the game? Here's mine:
Ambiorix (Gallia)
Hermann/Arminius (Germania)
Vercingetorix (Gallia)
Boudicca (Britons/Gallia)
Ariovistus (Germania)
Dumnorix (Gallia)
Alaric (Goths/Whatever is in Romania)
Brennus (Gallia)
What do you think about maybe mythological leaders, like Sun Tzu, Cernunnos, Romulus/Remus, Odysseus, etc?

As always, Hannibal leading Carthage (221-202BC), then Seleucid Empire (198-188BC) and lastly, Bithynia (188-181BC).
This would take place in the Barcid Conquest of Hispania and the 2nd Punic War for Carthage, Roman-Seleucid War for the Seleucid Empire and a war between Pergamon and Bithynia for Bithynia.
Hannibal's father, Hamilcar Barca, also seems interesting. He was said by Wikipedia to have been successful at waging guerrilla warfare in Sicily in later stages of the 1st Punic War, then he fought against revolting mercenaries once under his leadership in the Mercenary War and his life ended during his conquest of Hispania.
Hannibal's brothers Hasdrubal and Mago Barca are also generals employed by Carthage in the 2nd Punic War.

I'd like to see at least two guys from Dacia: Burebista (which is also mentioned in the Caesar Time conquest as the founder of the Dacian Kingdom) and Decebal (last king of Dacia, who died in 106 AD after two big wars with the Romans).

Modern Romanians are closer to Rome not the Dacia, isn't it?  Dacia people were expelled by the Romans from that territory |

Dacia people were expelled by the Romans from that territory I thought it went like this: the Romans found gold in Dacia, so killed all the residents and started colonizing it, which is why Romanian is a Roman language and not a Slavic. |

More or less They defeated Dacia several times, so dismantled their kingdom and started colonisation. Dacian people were assimilated partly but mostly leaving the territory. |

Well, they defeated Dacia, but didn't conquer the entire country, so there were also the free dacians... |

What happened to them? |

What happened to them? That's the point there is no information, the dacians didn't live in the borders of modern day romania so that not the whole country was conquered doesn't change anything. There is no information about them, maybe they realy just Killed the dacians or sold them |

Yeah, but in case those were outcasts in the mountains... well, I wouldn't say there is any difference from being expelled from Your morther country. They had no their own country anymore. Some partisans.. nothing else. They simply disappeared as nation from the pages of the history. |

if there were free daciers, they were probably just barbarians like everyone except the Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians in Europe at the time
