What to do with the Epeirotes?

[Strategos Alexandros]

In my Makedone campaign I've reduced the Epeirotes to Serdike and Taras. Pyrrhos is still alive but has disappeared into the mountains north of Makedonia. Now I would like some suggestions on what to do with them. So far what I've come up with is:
1. Kill them off, which I would rather not do.
2. FD Taras to the Romani and keep them as Thracian raiders.
3. FD Taras to the Romani and give them Aitolia (Which I have not yet conquered)
4. Let them keep Taras but give them Aitolia, calling them something like the Koinon Pyrrhou.

I'd also like to know what I could call them for each option. Any ideas are welcome and the one I pick will recieve a balloon from my very own stock.

You could take Seridike. I've had games where the Epeirotes have been left with just Taras, and the Epeirotes have marched up the Eastern spine of Italy, cutting Italy in two, lengthways. It's fun, half because you're screwing the Romani without doing anything, and half because it looks hilarious. However, you'd have to make sure that there is a big garrison in Taras before doing that, and that the Romani are occupied with Gaul.
How's the situation in the rest of Hellas?

You could just move them entirely so they become a whole new faction. Preferably one that would stem the mega expansion of giants like the Romani or Ptolies, or Sweboz. You could move them so they become the Boii, or Syracuse, or Massilians, or Pergamon, something like that. Then you can say you defeated Epiros, yet you still use that faction slot to do some good to the game

Moving them elsewhere would need some cheating to be done. You see, supposing Taras is their capital ATM, you would not be able to FD their city into the hands of the Romani. Capitals aren't bribeable and can't switch hands from faction to faction through diplomacy either. As such, you will either have to fund the Romani in order to wage war against the Epeirotai, or go there yourself and kick them out. Then you can play with them.

As for what to do, I suggest you take Serdike and leave them in Taras. You could even give them some Illyrian provinces after that, but you will need to teleport there to take the Eleutheroi city/ies , then teleport an Epeirote FM there and rename/recolor the faction.

Cheers and good luck,

Depends how much you want to put into it really

It's pretty fun to turn them into a Syracusan faction. Cheat an army to Sicily, take the big city (throw in Messana as well to build strength) and then FD those territories to them.
