I am sorry if this has been adressed elsewhere, I do not seem to be able to find the "Search" option for the forum, if indeed there is one.

Historically many of Rome's neighbouring tribes and city states from even the struggle for Latium to the time of Trajan, became allies and slowly annexed into the Pax Romana without being warred. And the last King of Pergamon passed his realm on to the Romani...

In EB all these city states and tribal territories are represented by Rebels and has to be fought to submission it seems, is this so? Has the "bandwagoning" effect not been taken into account is this excellent and very historical mod? I certainly hope so, but how to get that effect then? Conquering and heavily romanising and garrisioning neighbouring territories does not seem to help...
