I'm also very interested in seeing what RRG come up with for new ludi. I think Persian and sub-Saharan African are appealing possibilities. I think the first slots in historically neatly w/ the Greeks, and the second provides an exotic extreme that would have been likely in actual gladiatorial arenas.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if RRG have some whacked out hybrid idea waiting in the wings (like, say, "What if the Mongol Empire had conquered and thrived in Eastern Europe into contemporary (to the game) times?"). They seem like guys that really dig that sort of theoretical thing...
