This is impossible without reserving a faction slot for the new faction- this is essentially the same as emerging factions, something we won't do. Re-emerging factions is a different kettle of fish altogether.i´ve always imagined that once a faction was destroyed maybe the AI could give that faction slot to a new city state kingdom to keep the game interesting
this could allow for the skytians ethiopians and others to enter the game and act in coordinated actions to make the game more appealling
something like the AI would keep scores on all the rebel/eleutheroi city and the strongest one would be granted faction status (maybe like the belgae or boii or aetolians or the karians or the kretans )
οἵη περ φύλλων γενεὴ τοίη δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν.
Even as are the generations of leaves, such are the lives of men.
