What to do with the Romans?

Don't force them to become your Protectorate. This will result in the EEBS script giving you the scripted AI-assisting money instead of the faction.

How can you migrate a faction???

**Maion Maroneios** · 07-01-2009, 20:19

1. Teleport an army of yours with (preferably) elephants close to a settlement you want the faction to migrate to. Conquer the city.
2. Repeat the above for every city you want the faction to migrate to.
3. Teleport your army back to wherever it originally was (or do whatever the hell you want with it).
4. Send a diplomat towards an enemy army/settlement/general/diplomat/whatever you can negotiate with and FD all the conquered settlements (were you want the faction to migrate to) to the desired faction.
5. Make sure to teleport at least one of the enemy characters to the region you want them to migrate. If all enemy FMs die, the faction will be destroyed. Also, make sure not both the FL and FH are killed in the same battle as this too results in the faction getting destroyed.

And voila, you have successfully migrated a faction to a place that may have been miles away from their original homeland. Now it's up to you to do the recolouring/renaming/whatever suits your tastes. If you are up to it, that is.

Good guide :-)

It's what I do when in a similiar situation. I've moved factions to Galatia (Arverni), Pergamon (Epeiros), Ireland (Arverni) and Atropatene (Epeiros) this way.

Epeiros and Arverni do get quite a bit around in your campaigns don't they.

I usually let them rebuild themselves and go on a mighty campaign of killing... What use is of a city but nobody to kill? Let them come at my sarissas again and again! makedonian courage will beat roman gold...

but other than that
I have never really tried moving roma around as i rather kill them than conquer them (filthy romans, you dont deserve to be conquered by righteous greeks/hellenes)

But if you do migrate them, ill put them somewhere along the lines of the alps and by those AI defense stack settlements. And then keep several forts to make sure they stayed on their side (bwuahaha)

Oh and yes epirote, koinon get moved around a lot. In facti was so inspired by one of the AARs about massalia, i sent koinon to epeiros (theyre proxy fighting romans for me) and epeiros to sicily, creating a buffer state that fights both carthage and rome (bwauahha proxy wars are fun)

Then myself? I just go conquer the barbaroi in the north and cowardly horse archers of the steppes =]
