let me summarise to get the idea more clearly:
-there is a list of provinces which are limited to a specific area. (e.g. we define some area as "Cisalpine Gaul", but do not specify which regions go into it; just that something like "Cisalpine Gaul should consist of the area north of the Pomerium and south of the alps")
-provinces are defined by the player who gets to be the governor of the said province and the players, who vote whether he gets the region into his province. (sounds like this needs a lot of voting, and that would complicate things and cluttering up the legislation voting thread)
-houses need not define which region they hail from, all houses have their HQs in Rome. (because governorships last only for the session unless reelected)
-the governor takes control of all troops/legions inside the province that are not under the control of another player (everything except stuff like other's personal legions, consular legions, standard legions). he may assign who commands or governs what within his province as he sees fit.
that's all I could see, sounds reasonable.
but during times of Civil war, I think the involved houses/players should retain their territory; because they are probably against the senate/backed by the senate to defend their province from the rebels; and also it would be odd considering that the theatre of the civil war moves from Greece to somewhere like Africa after a session; or the civil war goes into a stalemate when the houses gain different territories after a session.
and with the decrease of the size of provincial legions as per your legion reforms, I think we could have more regions/provinces.
but how 'provincial legion' is defined is rather unclear, don't you think? according to mini, it's "an army that is stationed at a region" (or something like that). according to the rules it's "a legion that serves a province (which is a set of regions) in defending it from enemies"
