I'm going to probably play as the Silures, one of the tribes of the Britanni. My goal will be to consolidate all of Britain under one tribe, or confederacy if possible. After that Hibernia, then Gaul, then Iberia. I will unite all the Celtic peoples under one banner.
Athens, my aim will be to reconquer Alexander's Empire. In practice the game looks very complicated and difficult so I'll probably just struggle to survive...
As the DDs are out my wishlist expands. Definitely going to try out:
-Rome, it's the main theme so I guess the ideal place for the basic learning curve
- Syracuse, seems like one of the greatest situations and challenges. Be a thorn in the Roman-Punic duels.
- Epirus, restore the Empire with the last of Alexander's family.
- Phrygia, seems like the best Diadochi hoice to restore Hegemony in Greece and restore the Empire.
- Cretan minor, still waiting to see the dynamics and details here.
- Cypriot minor, same as above, though not sure if any will be independent.
- Carthage, I wanna feel the dark side a bit.
Still interested in the West as well as Gaul, but not sure who to pick

Massilia, the best country to build a Greek Empire in the West. Just imagine a Greco-Celtic state stretching from Gallia and Iberia to Britannia and Germania, possibly even to Scandinavia and modern-day Poland, being the last independent Greek state in Europe, radiating with Greek culture in the West and fending off Roman barbarians who had counquered Hellas and Magna Graecia. At least that's what I'm going to do.
The Kushites. Hopefully there will be an option to Make Egypt Great Again once you boot out the Greeks!
Yeap, Massilia is one. Emporion is another on Iberia, possibility to create a western Hellenic realm with both of these without directly interfering with Italy and the Hellenistic world.
But why would you leave your Greek brethren at the mercy of Rome?
ROME! I just love the history of the roman empire and they are generally speaking in such a great starting place when it comes to expanding. You can go North into central europe, West to spain, South to Africa or East towards greece and i've always enjoyed that aspect of it in previous games such as Rome Total War

Aksum, Pontus, Judea, the Cherusci (if their included), and Sparta of course. Here's hoping they'll reconsider and give me that dual monarchy

All this talk about Sparta and Athens when the true top dog among the Greek cities is Syracuse! Island starts are always fun and outmaneuvering Rome and Carthage seems like a good challenge.
While its tempting to play them first, I'll probably play Carthage or Epirus first to learn the game properly first, they both seem much easier and handling all my enclaves(uniting Greece seems really fun. Other fun starts include restoring Thebes, building a Scandinavian empire way removed from everything else, screwing around as one of the Black Sea Greeks or playing down in Ethiopia.

What do you mean?
Syracuse suffers from the exact same problem as Athens and Sparta: it's past it's prime.
But at least they have the heat death rays to look up to.

The tyranny of Agathocles in Syracus was actualy it's prime in some sense.
Apart from the usuals, I am also hoping to mod in Troy and fight the Achaeans once more. But this time, it will be Sparta that will be burnt to the ground
