By 200BC, the Pontic Empire stretches from the land of bastarnae to Petra.

The Pontic Royal Family is gone, and half of the members are from hellen Herakleotes Clan and another half are made up from various Cappadocian, Asian or Traikian aristocracy who “collaborated” with Pontic rule.

I want to create a civil war in which Herakleotes Clan will fight the others for controlling the pontic territories.

My question is how can I convert them to be another faction, because I’ve seen that in some AAR-s , for example Macedonians are gone, can I make Herakleoteans to be Macedonians and secede from Pontus??
