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 =]

Migrating is one thing but making sense another. Romans don't make sense anywhere outside of Latium, lest they conquer it.

letting them live is a mistake in it's own right. Just do the easy way and light Barbaropolis.

i just wiped them out in my getai campaign ... goodbye rome

Yep. And that's because they are the first ones to get mauled. Epeiros by me, and the Arverni by the Aedui (who I then rename as "Vergalla" or "Great Gaul").

Well, you can always use the fact that regional barrackses will make them use region troops. But yes, seeing FMs with Roman names doesn't make much sense outside of Italy.

Roman culture doesn't make sense outside of Italy as well. The only faction you could feasibly recreate with the Romans might be the Etruscans, but these are long gone.
