There's still saitic Pharaohs but that's just peak hipsterism to know they existed.

There's no more updating it/content so there's no chance of it. The Merenptah Stele references Israel in 1208 BC:
>"Israel is laid waste and his seed is no more."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_Israel_and_Judah#Background:_Late_Bronze_Age_(1550%E2%80%931150_BCE)

But at this time there would be absolutely nothing to distinguish Israel from other Canaanites, unless you drew from the bible and even then there wouldn't be much. So wherever Israel is, presumably Samaria rather than Yerusalem (which I know is a settlement) can just be represented there unless someone else has it.

My conspiracy theory remains that they wanted to do an Iron age campaign given before they made it all freemium with Dynasties the plan was for a campaign DLC on top of the other two faction ones. In which case you'd have more of a presence for Judah or Israel if before ~735 BC or so. When I looked over it around 735 or so you really get an optimum campaign map situation if you wanted to make a compelling DLC. At that time you have Tiglath-Pliser the 3rd introducing the reforms to Neo-Assyria and starting the real conquest ball rolling with the iconic Neo-Assyrian units, Egypt is a divided mess chiefly between Piye the self styled holy warrior of Kush and the Libyan Pharaoh in Sais (his successors in the 7th century make use of greek mercenaries so that's a clear roster lean for them), the 1st Messenian War [may] be happening, you've got the possibility of Pheidon (His dates range for like 200 years) of Argos who is attributed with creating the hoplite, the Scythians are decade(s) away from rampaging across the map like it's medieval 2 mongols.

About the only thing you'd need to do with the map is slightly expand it Eastward and Northward to have Urartu and the caucasus proper as well as Media.
