Yep, that's what I did. A spy told me Byzantion really didn't have much by way of military production capability, so I gave up on Macedonia proper. Makedonia is now my protectorate - they even chose me over their alliance with Epeiros. Epirus' demise coming up.
There is a lot of enemy death, yet I'm quite merciful. I never expel or enslave settlements I take (although the Epirote ones will be expelled), I only kill in battle.
