@Fish-got-a-sniper:
The KH are one of the most fun faction especially for roleplaying, so there are endless ways in which you can actually make your own history unfold. I will try and answer you questions as best as possible.
1. As you know, you begin just with Spartiatai, Rhodioi and Athenaioi. FM's with other ethnicities can be obtained through marriages or adoptions. In my previous KH campaign, I had (except those three sarting ethnicities) Makedones, Euxeinoi, Kretai and Thessaloi. There are many more, I suppose, but it depends.
2. Hmmm, I would suggest you just continue playing with your FM's and if they multiply too much, you can send them to suicide missions. Not the best solution, but I don't see many other options. You can, of course, refuse any other Spartiates to marry one of your precious daughters?
3. It depends on how you would like it to happen. You see, it is very difficult to actually simulate a civil war. Your idea is good, but I don't see why bother much if you are't working on an AAR or something. If you really want to simulate one, I suggest you first find a faction that shares MIC's (sp?) with your own. I don't remember well, but I think it's Epeiros. You can then, through Force Diplomacy, give your ''rebeling'' cities to that faction and then fight to reclaim them under the leadership of the city-state you desire to take control.
Hope this helped!
