Ok thanks... one more question, for now, to QS... What are you doing with all these client rulers after their cities change gov type? Do you just put them in the countryside and let them die of old age?

Personally, I wait with the gouvernment change until the client ruler dies. It has the practical advantage that you don't have to find a use for him and from a roleplaying perspective the death of the ruler provides a reasonable cause for structural changes opposed to just force him out of office.

Once the client ruler becomes corrupt, or starts liking strangers ( kind of under suspicion trait of the greeks - proxenos ), or has developed some nasty traits - in short, everything that stands against the ideal phylosiphy of your "state", you will get the reason to remove him from his position; "invite" him to your capital ( boarding a ship specifically sent for this purpose - an "honor" ^^ ) and let some pirates intercept it ;) There are plenty of possibilities to find an apropriate reason for changes if you want to roleplay this.

Well, the only way to get Samnites and Butanians are mercs OR waiting for Factional MIC to reach lvl 4... and that takes time... OR you can invade Lingua and make a lvl 4 gov and upgrade local MIC to lvl 3...

Well in the beginning I didn't have allied heavy infantry... I basically recruited Samnite Medium Spearmen from Capua, I think the factional MIC for that is already there or it's just one update. Then I either hired Bruttian or Lucanian merc infantry (they're both not too expensive) - later on I'd use the Bruttian or Lucanian infantry (Bruttian then recruitable from Rhegion, Lucanian still merc) as light infantry. Samnite Heavies as allied heavy infantry.
