Liberating the Motherland and kicked out? A Kardhastim Questions...

... Phoenician's were more used to just pay tribute than fight bloody landwars. Of course there is also the theory they hired the Sea-People to wipe out the Hittites...

Heh, if that's true, the Phoenicians and the rest of the Near East got a lot more than they bargained for. The Sea People ate everyone's lunch, and the Levant was one of the worst ravaged areas.

As for mass deportation, I know the Hittites were huge fans of it. Every time they conquered a place they'd take deportees and send them across the empire. One time they sent a whole bunch from Syria to their capital Hattusa and a plague broke out. Almost everyone was wiped out, and then had to import Luwians from the western provinces. The theory is that almost no one spoke Hittite on the streets of Hattusa by 1300 BC.

Of course the Romans and later the Byzantines loved shipping people around too, but I think they mostly shipped allied soldiers to garrison the borders. I don't know if they practiced wholesale civilian, as opposed to military, deportation and resettling.

The Incas did that too. (Even though that's hardly relevant for our mod)
